This little cafe is an absolute delight. Everything is fresh and delicious, including coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and baked goods. We stayed close by and liked this bakery so much that we ended up eating breakfast here every morning of our stay in Portland. Definitely add this to your travel list for Portland!

I was in Portland for a memorial celebration of my close friend's life. I stayed just up Congress St. I am thankful we stumbled upon Katie Made Bakery. It was so good we had breakfast there three mornings in a row. The breakfast sandwiches were absolutely perfect. I don't know how they made the eggs so fluffy! I had the Spinach & Goat cheese sandwich which was so delicious. The next day I had the same and added a sausage patty! Perfect. The staff was extremely friendly and kind. I also had a blueberry muffin that was decadently delicious - loaded with blueberries.

Stopped in here yesterday before leaving town and the woman taking our order at the front was so sweet and so kind - excellent customer service! Literally the best scone I’ve ever had (ordered the blueberry). Sausage, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich was delicious, as well as the iced coffee. Really cute place with tables outside to enjoy the fresh air… very highly recommend.

Very solidly average breakfast place. We got English muffin sandwiches - can definitely make comparable sandwiches at home. The service was strange too…we walked in with a group of 7 and were told to eat somewhere else if we wanted fast food. Nobody had made any comments about needing a quick experience and that was our first interaction with the cashier before hello. The place was also completely empty so it wasn’t like our party was crowding the indoor space. Overall would not return.

Such a sweet place with delicious food and amazingly nice people working there! We stopped in Portland and had seen this spot-so glad we drove from Old Portland to try it. Scones, egg sandwiches, veggie quiche (we have been enjoying for a few days) and coffee were all SO goood. They also recommended we drive up the street to the promenade & so glad they did .. it was so beautiful. Highly recommend and love supporting lovely local places. So glad Katie made it! No photos, we ate too quickly!

Stopped by to grab a cinnamon roll and breakfast sandwich but unfortunately they were all sold out of cinnamon rolls so I settled for a slice for blueberry pie. The breakfast sandwich was delicious and made of fresh, high quality ingredients. The blueberry pie was also delicious, flaky crust and not overly sweet. I'll for sure be going back again to get my hands on a cinnamon roll.

2 sister's teamed up to bring great food, service, and baked goods. If you looking for breakfast and lunch the made to order sandwiches are amazing. They also have great fantastic backed goods my favorite is the strawberry Danish. Katie will also make you a custom cake for a special event, her cakes are amazing!
