Grand Central Bakery - Beaumont cafe

Lovely and busy neighborhood spot. Great seating options indoors and out. Patio always includes friendly dogs. Delicious coffee and sustainable and locally sourced ingredients. The wait goes quickly so your return on time investment is high.

I love this area of town! Grand Central on N Fremont Street is a popular and typically busy location. The space has both indoor and outdoor seating. Finding parking can at times be a pain. You may have to find a space on a residential side street. The staff are friendly, but as there are most often people in line, ordering can feel a bit rushed. The indoor space can feel tight and crowded when the queue is long. In nicer weather, the outdoor seating area feels more open and less cramped. The coffee menu is small and quite basic. Food options are plentiful. Freshly made bread, coffee cakes, pastries, scones, quiche, and sandwiches are available. Soup, seasonal salads, and meal specials are also on offer. One of my personal favorite food items is the Pecan Pull Apart pastry! There is a public restroom at this location.

A really great cafe. Lots of inside and outside seating available, and very spacious. The coffee was fantastic and they had a sugar free option. The coffee was high quality and made with skill. The croissant sandwich was very good as well. Good quality food and coffee and a great place to enjoy it indoor or outdoor, so it's a win for me. I recommend them.

Great food but very busy so it was a long wait to order.

Don’t come here in a rush: this place was nearly packed at 2p on a weekday.. but because it’s so lovely you’ll want to return! Had a delicious cup of soup with fresh bread and a lay of butter. Perfect after a long walk this morning! Seating for small parties or solo at the window bar seats. So happy I saw the +++++ reviews for this place. $5 for meal, with added tip

I paid $11.50 for a chicken salad that had (to be generous) at best a heaping tablespoon of chicken in it. A shamefull ripoff. My lunch mates could not believe it when they saw what had been served to me. Criminal...

We came in a little after 1 PM. They were already out of bolos, biscuits, and croissants, as well as sausage. This is the first time is been to this location, so maybe its common for the Bakery to not have enough items to serve through the entirety of the day, or maybe it was a volume issue based on unexpected business. Still, it didn't make me want to return to try again, and it set the tenor for the rest of my visit. Paying over $10 for two pieces of Como bread, some ham, lettuce, and Swiss, with no other toppings, also seems a bit of a rip. The meat portion was maybe 2 oz. The frittata was itsy bitsy. No wonder people under 35 are worried they won't be able to buy a house. Eating out has become very expensive, and there are players like this that are willing to extract a huge gross income without providing much in the way of volume or service quality. No gluten-free bread, which is kind of weird for a Portland bake shop.

I’ve always loved the bread. I’ve had a years long love affair with the pecan rolls…I wasn’t prepared for the BLT. Perfect in every way, bread toasted but not enough to destroy the roof of your mouth, thick slightly sweet bacon, huge slabs of summer tomatoes, fresh green leaf and (extra) best foods. Nothing fancy, everything where it should be. Thank you for making my day!
