Hungry Heart Bakery

Off the busy street if Stark is a cozy little cafe. Plants, books and local goods are packed into the bookshelves on your left as you walk in. The door does stick some times so don't be discouraged, just push a little harder! I got the dirty chai and it was so delicious! I'm a sucker for chai though 😂 they have tasty looking pastries, I didn't try them though because I was pleasantly surprised to see a breakfast burrito on the menu! 😍 I've craved this breakfast burrito for days after having it and have vowed to go back at least once a month 😂 I know a little over exuberant. But when you find a cute spot with amazing food you gotta treat yo self! It can get busy and the space is small but I highly recommend stopping by if you have the chance. Also everyone I've met that works there, are just lovely. I look forward to my next visit 🌯

Cute bakery/coffee shop. The food and espresso drinks were great. The gluten-free bundt was awesome and I appreciate they had good gluten-free options. The burrito was also really good. The seating seemed pretty limited, but it's a small space so I'm not sure they could do anything differently. My only issue with the experience was hair in the burrito wrapping and a hair on my bundt cake. We also saw a man pull a long hair out of his breakfast sandwich.

This was my first (and still a fav), amazing bakery experience in Portland. Their cardamom roll is the BEST in the city. I like that they returned to their roots at their original location! Don’t miss this place!

I got the seasonal lavender matcha latter and it is sooo good! Very sweet and floral. Super cute plants and bunnies decor too.

I've got love for their cardamom rolls! Counter staff is very friendly and patient. But the croissants.... oh God, they weren't displayed so I purchased one sight unseen. You can't distinguish these from a donut shop or Fred Meyer bakery. Please, take 'em off the menu or call them crescent rolls; these are bready and awful. (4 stars otherwise!)

This was a great space with super friendly staff. The coffee was amazing and clearly the barista had skill. They had many gluten free and vegan pastries on display and the food menu looks nice. I plan to come back and try their food. The coffee alone was so good though best sugar free almond milk latte I've had in a few weeks of trying new places.

Highly recommend. This bakery is the best! They have so many good baked good options, but also breakfast food and lunch (pictured here; we already ate most of the pastry before I took the picture!). We also highly recommend their brunch, served Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

Came for the coffee; stayed for the sandwiches; will DEFINITELY return for the soup! My wife wanted a hot cup of coffee on a cold, soggy October morning. I wasn't in the mood for coffee, but I was hungry for something warm and comforting; thus, I began poking around online for a café reasonably closed to home that looked intriguing, and could satisfy both of our cravings. Hungry Heart checked all the boxes. The interior is a little sparse, in terms of seating and indoor dining (fallout from the height of COVID, perhaps?), but we grabbed an empty table near the (artificial) fireplace, placed our order: a tuna salad sandwich, a classic Everything bialy, a golden milk, double shot espresso, two oat milk lattés, one using horchata, and a bowl of the tomato soup. Drinks arrived first, in a handful of minutes, with the food hot on its heels. I have nothing but rave things to say about everything: the tuna salad sandwich was fantastic (bonus points for using capers, dill, and pickles instead of celery!), the Classic bialy hearty and satisfying, and the soup - otherworldly! Among the best I've had, anywhere, all by itself; but the addition of creme fraiche and basil oil elevating it even higher. Too often, the inclusion of basil can be a bit overwhelming, as it is quite often overused, but infusing it in oil? Stroke of genius. As a former barista, I can be critical of boutique café beverages, but the staff here know what they're doing. Thick, rich foam, correct temperature, quality grounds - you're in good hands here. The staff were also friendly and helpful, offering suggestions, clarifications, and general conversation. Although we didn't utilize it (this time), online ordering is also available, and seems pretty easy to navigate. You can even order ahead for pickup the next day, after they've closed, and choose your preferred pick up time. Pretty great for a local operation! All in all, Hungry Heart PDX has left me, well...hungry (and thirsty) for more. We will absolutely be back!
