Kirari West Portland

We enjoyed our visit. It was quiet busy, but by the time we ordered, and just before the food arrived, we found a table. The juices were amazing, smoothies were good too. We had the acai bowl, which was thoroughly enjoyed and the avocado toast which was a unique combination with cucumber, it was delicious. The pastries looked great, and nearly everyone in line got a Cinnamon Brioche Roll. We did take a Rustic Boule (GF and DF) home. The day we were there, they had some pup treats available.

Nice place. Very clean. Staff are all friendly and attentive. Unique menu with lots of smoothies, drinks, fruit bowls, sandwiches, baked goods, etc. Definitely will be coming back! I tried the turkey and egg sandwich and blueberry drink this time. So good!

This was just my first time here, so I do plan to come back and try a few more things. Brioche and Ricotta toast was tasty, and the gf bread held up well with the ricotta and berries. It wasn’t too sweet, which I prefer. The Mango smoothie was also tasty and straightforward. It wasn’t as filling as one from Harlow, but that’s ok because I didn’t mean for it to be a meal replacement. Like others have said, the Turkey panini was more a sandwich with toasted bread. With the avocado and spread, the texture was a little too creamy for my taste, since there was no other crispy or crunchy textures to it. I also wasn’t a fan of the turkey slices, which reminded me of grocery store lunch meat. I wouldn’t order that particular item again. The pastries were good, and it’s hard to find soft and moist gf baked goods. The almond brioche was sweet but not too sweet for me. Overall a good first visit. Staff was very friendly.

Had the turkey panini with sunrise juice. The gluten free breads were delicious and you can watch them being freshly made. The whole shop smells like fresh baked bread.

Delicious. Great atmosphere. Gluten free deliciousness and friendly service? No notes. Please try the ricotta brioche toast. The almond brioche is perfectly sweet - not too sweet but just sweet enough. I will be coming back!

The Japanese style total gluten free bakery and restaurant was so amazing I am so happy we found it. You can buy loaves of bread besides pastries. My son barely let me take a pic of his food for my celiac coworker friend.

When I read that there was a new gluten-free bakery in town, I was so excited to try it! We arrived and the person working at the counter was very welcoming and was kind enough to offer suggestions. She let me try a sample of two of the three loaf varieties that they offer. When I inquired if they offered a nutty/seedy bread, she said "unfortunately, no, but the one you weren't able to sample would be the closest option." I was so hoping that it would be the dense bread that my tastebuds crave, but it was reminiscent of Franz white bread in taste and texture. It gets the job done, but I wouldn't buy it again. Certainly not at $14.50 a loaf. On the other hand, their pastries were tasty, particularly their almond brioche and cinnamon brioche. They were good, but I would love to see a pastry with less sugar, or perhaps one that was naturally sweetened with honey or coconut sugar. We also tried 2 of their smoothies. They were decent, but I'll likely just drink water if I make my way over there again in the future. They do not serve coffee, which was disappointing and caught me by complete surprise. If I could offer a few suggestions, it would be to consider adding a nutty/seedy bread and also a lightly sweetened banana or pumpkin bread. Most gluten-free pasteries have wayyyy too much sugar for my taste, and it can get nauseating. I've had my fill of Franz type bread and would love to see healthier options with more depth. Also, please consider adding coffee to your menu! I hope this review helps folks while researching gluten-free bakeries. The struggle is real. It's still incredibly difficult to find healthier alternatives when you're in the mood to indulge, and I'm hopeful that they will consider my words of advice. If not, I'm afraid I won't go out of my way to make it back. Regardless, I'm thankful for another gluten-free option in Portland!

I had the Cilantro Lime Chicken Panini. When a side Kale salad. It was delicious. I did sub the Swiss cheese for cheddar. My husband who is not celiac ordered the Turkey Egg Melt and he enjoyed it. Usually when we eat anything gf bread or pastry wise he will say - I’m so sorry. And feel bad for me. We also shared one of the almond brioche pastries. It was also good. Not dry. We’ll definitely come back to try more items.

I stopped here with my gluten free friend for lunch today and it was absolutely fantastic. I'm not GF but I could barely tell that my bread was gluten free. I got the brioche French toast with the berry smoothie and they were both SO GOOD. The little bit of honey in the smoothie really made it so much better and the ricotta on the French toast was to die for. My friend got the overnight French toast and can't stop raving about how delicious it was. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The people working here are all so friendly and the vibes are absolutely immaculate. This place is so cozy and chill and I can absolutely see myself spending a day working from this little cafe. If you are on the fence, go! It is so worth it!

Gluten free review: Yes, yes and double yes! If you are gluten-free, I do suggest definitely stopping in. You don't even have to be close. I suggest you hop on your rides and head over. This is delectable! I got the Turkey Avocado panini with a side of mushroom soup (I believe that's what the soup's name was). The sandwich is definitely a five out of five. I love the fresh cilantro with the pickled onion was absolutely delicious. The bread is soft and delicious. The combo is superb. The soup was OK. I gave the soup maybe three out of five. Maybe it was just my taste. I would still suggest you get the whole thing though. And if you think I'm going to pass up some delightful sweet treats you are kidding yourself! I got the cinnamon roll and the Almond Brioche. The cinnamon roll was so soft! I know what you're thinking... "gluten free soft?" Yes! My favorite part.. the taste was delicious. The frosting was a cream cheese tasting delight but not overly sweet. This was my favorite out of the two. The Almond Brioche was juts as soft and yummy. It had a good almond flavor. The service was nice and helpful. She helped me know if there was a specific spice in a sauce that I cannot eat. The drink I got was a Matcha with strawberry. I didn't really taste the strawberry but the Matcha was refreshing. I also got a fresh squeezed juice, which was a five out of five. Everything was so fresh. The inside was hip, fun, and relaxing. This place has some good energy. I will definitely be going back.

5 stars on food! I've eaten overnight French toast, avocado toast (which usually isn't my thing), scones and the almond brioche. All super yummy 3 stars for the drinks which I will probably skip in future. My iced chai was watered down. My daughter strawberry matcha had matcha at the bottom and you couldn't taste the strawberry at all. Different staff take care of different parts of the food/bev so you left food will come out at different times. Which is fine if you get your drinks first rather than 15 minutes into eating. Bright, clean.

A hit every time!! Savory or sweet, you can't go wrong here!! Gluten-free people MUST TRY!! :)

Today was my first time stopping in, and I'm so glad I did. The gluten free cinnamon brioche was DELICIOUS and super nostalgic. I recommend heating it up before consuming. The cashier was knowledgeable, and the price was reasonable. The ambiance is laid back- you order at the counter. I'm excited to go back and try more menu items!

We recently tried Kirari for breakfast. The amazon violet smoothie was delicious!! The Oregon sunrise was good too but very strong ginger taste. I do wish there were some options for protein with the smoothies. We also tried the almond brioche, it had a delicious almond flavor but was a little too spongey for what I was expecting. The ambiance is very cute and service was quick and easy. I would like to come back to try the toasts and lunch bowls- they looked really good!

Ok sorry but had to change my review after I saw the ingredients of bread and I assume the same thing is for the pastries if not worse. Ugh I wish they used better ingredients and at least some were organic? Vegetable oils? So disappointing! Used to go there multiple times a week but now seems like the ingredients are very unhealthy. In my opinion gluten free should also mean anti inflammatory and healthy. Please do better!

For gluten free pastry, the gluten free bun was amazing and the best I've tried! The blueberry muffins are good but on a drier side (I've tried it multiple times). The almond croissant was too moist for me and had weird texture for the almond croissant... I'd love to come there more often but the options are always the same - I've been there 10 times and each time there were the same 5 types of pastries. Waiting for more!!

My partner has celiac and it's hard to find places safe for her to eat. This place is 100% safe and 100% delicious. We always take a loaf of bread home with us - it's so good. Everything from the drinks, pastries and sandwiches are all fantastic. This spot has become a quick favorite of ours. So happy they came to the neighborhood!

Delicious gluten free breads. I enjoyed the ricotta fruit toasts and a vanilla rooibos oat milk latte; my friend enjoyed a vegan bowl and smoothie. Everything is well labeled in case you have overlapping allergies. And they sell pre-sliced breads to go. I'll definitely be back!

what an adorable place, found them on tiktok and was not disappointed!!! absolutely lovely staff, met Yuko (i hope i spelled and said it right) my mom was having a blast getting to know the store and what it's about, Yuko knew so much and was such a vibe. we ordered 1 of every pastry AND AHHH IT WAS AMAZING!! lovely people, lovely vibes, lovely area. you can also buy loafs of AMAZING bread here!!! please go visit & try for yourself!!

For gluten free, this was such a nice treat. Food was good, the interior was clean and simple, and great customer service. Prices definitely reflect gluten free food, so heads up it will not be a cheap lunch.

Avocado toast was delish, great portion size, so price is worth it. Blueberry muffin wasn't too sweet which is typical for GF bake goods, so it was excellent. Nice setting inside, service was adequate.

This place is just as delicious as the Flagship store in Redondo Beach, CA. The Portland store has a variety of delicious fare from smoothies to quinoa bowls to freshly baked bread. I am not gluten-free and find everything tastes so good...nothing like the gluten-free foods I've had in the past. The staff members were also really friendly and helpful even though there was a long line when I was there. I will be back for sure!

We loved our experience at Kirari West. Both my partner and I are gluten free and were excited to see this new restaurant in our neighborhood. We got the cinnamon bun, avocado toast and the turkey avocado melt. Everything was delicious. Their bread tasted like regular bread and the cinnamon bun was very light and fluffy. We will definitely be back!

Great food and ambiance. Kirari West is a Gluten free dedicated restaurant. Their concept is eating healthy.

Tried the soup of the day Minestrone. Broth was tasty but no substance a few beans tasteless on the bottom crunchy crouton bits interesting but didn't work . NO vegetables not a traditional recipe so I'll pass next time . Happy they're in neighborhood so I look forward to ordering a pastry. Or sandwich next visit !

What an amazing place for gluten free, celiac safe food along with nut and soy free and vegan options. I don't have a gluten allergy but several in my family do. The "Overnight French Toast with Organic Oregon Berries" was outstanding. Would not know it was gluten free if I wasn't told.

Turkey avocado panini is solid. Great gf bread. Loved the cinnamon bun too. Will go back and try more. Very good service. Clean. They have gf dog treats too. My dog approved.
