Tabor Bread

Firstly, the bread is phenomenal! As a pastry and sourdough lover, their food is SO good! Their staff are also incredibly kind and take their time with each and every customer, ensuring that you're getting all of the best snacks and not having to rush past anything. Every item is described in detail when asked about and the staff are incredibly knowledgeable about what they are serving! I have heard a lot about this place before going, and expected the establishment to be very expensive due to the quality being so renowned. However, this was not the case! Even the large, fresh loaves were astonishingly reasonable! 10/10 will ABSOLUTELY be returning! **Keep in mind that this is a local and handmade establishment! BE KIND, they're great people! Come here with a little time to spare and a great attitude. As the line will move quickly once you are in it, but can look deceivingly long from outside. **

I used to work at Tabor when it was on Hawthorne. I love what they have done with it on Belmont. It’s pretty popular and I understand why. The bar has remained high for the quality of bread and pastries and other offerings. The service was wonderful. I forgot to order bread (my eyes were overwhelmed by tasty pastry choices) and they went above and beyond to get me a loaf and didn’t make me get back in line. The bagel and pastry we had were incredible. Love the atmosphere as well. It’s really such a gem. Wishing them all the success!

I love their bagels and berry suisse. I put fried eggs and lettuce on the cheese herb bagel and it’s the perfect breakfast sandwich. Haven’t dined in but the atmosphere is cozy.

Seriously delicious and unique bakery. We had the bagels, passion fruit tart, and mini donuts. All great quality and melt in your mouth. One of my favorite bakeries from our travels. It is expensive but the love and time invested in these baked goods is obvious.

Huge fan of tabor bread!! Their bread is second to none. This time I got to enjoy their bagel and sandwich selection. I love this new location and how you can see into the bakery from the street. The vibes are so great. It’s always a treat when I can visit!

Bought a brioche breakfast and baguette. Tried getting their sandwiches but they were out around 9am. Baked goods were good. Pour over was standard. Coming back to try other baked goods.

Been wanting to visit this place and finally got to! Beware there is a line once they open. But so worth it! Hands down the best bakery with great food and coffee. Staff were super nice even when they were busy. Will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend the mountain bread😉

We just couldn't decide, so we just got a whole variety of things... everything looks so yummy and ended up tasting even better 🤩 super nice people, obviously loving their craft!

Wow, thanks Tabor Bread; I came here this morning and now I have to sell my house and move within walking distance of you because you're SO good! Spectacular breads, sandwiches, pastries and coffees! My dining companion and I shared a breakfast sandwich which was on a glorious poppy seed bun, had aioli, microgreens, red onion, sautéed mushrooms and we chose avocado over the alternative breakfast sausage. We also had our egg over hard since we wanted to cut the sandwich in half and it was perfectly prepared. Latte and cappuccinos were as delightful as they were beautiful. Exceptional service by all staff and very clean restroom was appreciated.

This is the kind of place that you feel grateful to have in your city. Fresh bread and pastries, and kind service. It's the simple things here that will make you smile. The menu is small, but the bread speaks for itself. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and there is usually a line...so come early! We tried the chicken sandwich, lox, and the orange vanilla matcha. Everything was delicious! We even took home some garlic rosemary loafs for tomorrow morning.

FINALLY Portland has a naturally leavened bake shop (that isn't Ken's - no offense to Ken, but I prefer Tabor). I agree with Kim - I can indeed live on bread alone, and often do. I bake at home - a lot - and frequent renowned bakeries all over this star-spangled land (I go a lot of places) and Tabor Bread holds its own right alongside Hewn Bakery in Chicago and Tartine in Frisco (I'm from there so I can call it whatever I want, up to and including Frisco). I've quickly made Tabor Bread a regular stop on my weekly provisions pickups, and I stock up on loaves, bagels, and always by a little treat or two while there, whether in the form of a sandwich or a sweetie. The ambiance is pretty a-ok, too - if it's in the middle of a rush, which it often is, you'll have a hard time finding a place to sit and enjoy a coffee or toast; and you may wait in a very long line at times, but it's cozy and the people-watching is really spectacular. Plus, the yeasty bready smells wafting from the kitchen can't be beat. My only complaint is I do wish they'd get a bread slicer - I'm prone to slicing off my digits at home so would love to outsource this task to a precise slicing machine.

It was a beautiful spring day so we decided to go for a walk at Mt. Tabor. I'd been dying to get my hands on some Tabor Bread, so we decided to stop here first. There was a small line, but it moved quickly and we were able to snag a table with no problem. My daughter and I both went with a garlic cheddar bagel with herby cream cheese. The bagels here are some of the better bagels in the city - nice and crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. The herby cream cheese had big chunks of dill and green onion, it was very flavorful with a little drizzle of olive oil. My husband went with their Belmont breakfast and bagel and seemed to really enjoy it. We also shared a sweet brioche which was half cherry and half lemon on a beautiful and fluffy brioche. Their pastry case is hard to resist, so don't! I also got their tiramisu latte, which was probably the best latte I've had all year (and I've had a lot). It had the perfect amount of chocolate and a little smear of mascarpone. Definitely worth grabbing a coffee here! We will definitely be pairing this spot with future Mt. Tabor walks. I'm already looking forward to our next visit!

My husband and I went late on a Tuesday morning and were very surprised to see a line out the door. It must be good if there's a line at 11a Tuesday?! Turns out, it's just slow and understaffed. We waited 45 minutes for a bagel with lox. They also "oversold" the bagel flavor so we didn't even get what we ordered. I had a "sweet brioche" thing with lemon curb and raspberry but it wasn't very sweet. I kind of dry and I guess I just don't like sourdough with sweet stuff on it. Also seems way overpriced. They have an $18 breakfast sandwich!?!

This place is phenomenal! Oh my goodness the line does not lie! Love that they do have some indoor seating and luckily we got in during a time there was space to sit inside. Ordered a donut and mom's chicken sandwich. I could have had easily ordered one of each pastry honestly. The staff was so friendly and they warned me it would be about a 20 minute wait for my sandwich and it definitely did not take that long and worth the wait. The donut was unlike any donut I've had before. Not overly sweet at all and the dough was almost like sourdough? Hard to describe you just have to try it trust me. Mom's chicken sandwich was incredible!!! Warm bread with a nice chew. Tangy cranberry sauce and potato chips inside. Game over. I can't wait to come back again and again!

Local flour, organic sugar, sourdough (good for digestion) croissants, bread, sandwiches, desserts. I think if you want a treat, this place offers the healthiest options available in town. They're on the expensive side but you expect these prices for the high quality of ingredients. They're very friendly too!

I finally got to visit Tabor Bread in their new location at the corner of Belmont and 45th! They've been there for a while now (since Jan 2023), but I had only visited them at farmers markets for the past little while. Their new spot is super cute. It's got big windows, it looks like there's plenty of space for baking in the back, and it's got cute decorations throughout. There is a bit of both indoor and outdoor seating. They still make some of my favorite breads and pastries in the city!

Revisited again after many years and I think they've changed their location? The inside is modern yet so cozy and cute. We came to grab a country loaf but was gifted a huge Berry Donut which we enjoyed. The glaze on the donut was so gourmet and delicious. You can taste the berries for sure and the donut was not sweet at all. The dough almost even had a savory hint to it. Would love to dine in sometimes soon!

The service here is always great. Everyone is so friendly despite it being packed. The pastries are delicious and creatively displayed. I wouldn't come here for a bagel but would come back for pastries and coffee. The seating is not bad but not great. It's just so packed

After a long wait in line (not a problem) the cashier barely gave us her attention (I was stating my order and looked up to see her not even looking at me or listening. This happened several times). We ordered items for take-away; once home, we see we were given the wrong items. And they inform you there's an automatic 15% gratuity placed on the total. If you force a tip, you should be sure you actually earn it. And to pay the prices they charge just to get something g we don't even want (??) Unfortunately, do not recommend; will not be returning.

Loxsmith - yum. Tiramisu latte - delicious. Service - very friendly We were disappointed with the cheddar pain suisse. It had beautiful flaky layers but the overwhelming flavor was ground mustard. And the chocolate croissant - we ate through 2/3 of a plain croissant before finding the chocolate clustered at the bottom. Just expected better for the price I paid.

Good quality ingredients, great flavor profiles with all their baked goods. A big plus is they also sell bread starters if you are looking to home bake. There were a few sandwiches on the menu and it looked really good and a grab and go sandwich which is nice if you are in a hurry. The space was great to meet up and have coffee and pastries with a friend. Also great to sit and work a little if you needed to.

This was a great neighborhood spot. The line was fairly long, which was a testament to their products. It was pretty busy but service felt quick. They had quite the selection of breads, bagels, sandwiches, and beverages. The prices were pretty high, but business was boomin' and they're clearly doing things right! Thanks Tabor Bread for a good experience.

Their breakfast sausage sourdough brioche is one of the best bites I had in the Portland area. It is filled with a bechamel like sauce with sausage and carmelized onions. The texture of this pastry is actually insanely good and I cannot describe it here, you have to try it for yourself. The morning bun was so flaky and had a great crust with bits of dried fruit. I recommend this place to anyone in town or visiting.

I fasted for bloodwork and took my hunger for coffee and food to this famous Portland Bakery and was so happy. Fasting makes you appreciate every morsel. The chocolate croissant was made with sourdough flour. I could taste cinnamon but the star was the chocolate and flaky layers. I tried to capture this perfect croissant with my iphone and only approached the correct image. You just have to taste the perfection. I had a great baguette sandwich for my actual lunch. It was hearty and well designed with perfect grainy mustard, ham and micro greens plus tiny crunchy cornichons. The coffee was so mellow my caffeine receptors have been sated. I love this bakery. You can taste the effort to perfect the process of using flours of ancient grains. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and kind.

This will always be my go-to place for bread! Their Olive and Rosemary bread is absolutely amazing--every time I fly home, I make sure to bring some for my family. The staff here are incredibly nice, patient, and full of helpful information and suggestions on new things to try. I do wish they had more seating or a bigger space, but overall, their bread is truly to die for!

We started with a line out the door which is typically a good sign. Pastries were simply OK. We got a bagel with cream cheese because we are on the hunt for the best bagel in Portland and honestly it was very good. My issue with this place is the price is unjustifiably high, on top of the 15% automatic tip. Was the bagel good? Yes. But was it worth like $10? Not really. AND we waited over 20 minutes for this bagel! Two pastries and a bagel for $26... probably won't return. Cute atmosphere tho!

Some of the best bread i've ever had. You can tell by the color, texture, and smell of their bread that the flour they use is some of the finest you can get.

Ooooh that savory seasonal danish! It's has flaky layers like a croissant, filled w potato and topped w cheese goodness. Makes me wonder what the other season's flavors hold. Let's not forget about the bread so good they put it in their name. If you wanna level up any sammys or side dishes, you can't wrong w any of the choices. The shop is located right on the corner off Belmont w plenty of street parking around. This locale doesn't have the sit down space as the old one so I wonder if that's in the works. Staff is nice and service great.

Some of the pastries and bread are very good. Customer service is terrible. Very chaotic. Lot's of employees behind the counter going in circles around each other. They don't know how to manage the line of customers. Employees don't say thank you when I THANK THEM for handing me my order. Downright rude owner and employees. Now they have instituted a 15% "service charge" so they can pay their employees an equitable wage. I AM ALL FOR PAYING EMPLOYEES fairly but I think it is better to factor that into your prices so customers know the actual cost. No one likes seeing a posted price for an item and then being charged a non optional fee on top of the price. It just feels bad and weird. Especially if you are just popping in to grab a cookie, pastry or loaf of bread to take out.

They close at 2. On the dot. If you're sitting eating your sandwich, they'll be stacking chairs around you. Also expect a 15% service charge on all orders even take away bread. $17 for a bagel with cream cheese and one small baguette. Nice bread, pleasant staff, terrible service. Will go elsewhere next time.

An absolute must if you're in the area, it's a little pricey but so worth it, I highly recommend the bagels. The are always nice and happy to help even when it's crazy

Very quaint, homey vibes. I saw this on TikTok while traveling and had to give it a try! It was a little busy as I came during morning rush, so staff was slightly impatient. However, the pastries and sandwiches were well worth it.

I came twice on my recent visit to Portland, and I am so glad I did. It is super cute, friendly employees, and good baked goods. I got a tomato basil roll one visit and a savory roll on the other. Both times I got an iced coffee. You pay at the counter, have a seat if you are dining in and wait. They will bring your food out. I look forward to visiting again!

BEAUTIFUL BREAD Tabor Bread is currently operating out of the parking lot behind the shop they're remodeling on Belmont in Portland. It's ridiculously expensive - $7 for a chocolate croissant! Seriously? - but it's so delicious. The croissants are light, flaky, and made with sourdough. The chocolate is premium. Loaves of bread prices are on par with many bakeries and taste even better. No wonder there is always a line whenever we come here. All kinds of tempting options beckon. Bread is the staff of life, and Tabor Bread makes it better.

PLEASE TRY WHEN YOU ARE NEARBY! I loved everything I got (well... except the latte). Latte was just average, but the everything bagel was so good with the lemony herby cream cheese, highly recommend it. And the mountain bread! Had picked artichoke and pepper, cheese and so savory and amazing! Red wheat bread was also good, but they didn't cut the bread for me, which is a bit of work for me.

I stopped by Tabor Bread during a lovely morning stroll in the Mt. Tabor neighborhood. Tabor Bread offers some of the most deletable pastries I've laid my eyes on. They offer sourdough croissants that provide a unique take on the classic go-to and a breadth of danish and savory pastries. I tried the chocolate sourdough croissant, passionfruit bun, chocolate chip cookie, and grabbed a black sesame loaf for the road. The passionfruit bun might be the best sweet I've had this year, perfect balance of sweet and savory. The bun didnt skimp on the filling, which is a great thing because the passionfruit filling was outstanding. In addition to great pastries and ambiance, the service was great. The folks working there will do their best to help you decide on which items to get because you are going to struggle to make a decision and want to buy everything. Strongly recommend.

I cant say enough good about this place. Have enjoyed being able to walk from my house and get a wonderful loaf of bread. I have no problem standing in line for aprox 10 min asking for my bread and they stick it in a bag and I pay then throw a $1.00 in the Tip jar. But .... last thurs when I ordered my bread very quickly heard "we are adding a %15 on orders". Really??? And they still have tip jar out! I say NO! They have lost my business! I'v been in the tipping business, and I'm a good tipper. But tipping has gotten out of hand!

There's nothing that I can think so far which I don't like about this place. Prefect place to be happy for a quick coffee and variety of bakery items, sandwiches. That sourdough! Service is always friendly, patience, courteous and excellent and even during rush hour and relatively long lines, which is getting a bit hard to find these days.

Sourdough croissant for the win! I liked a sweet option so I chose chocolate with it. All are fresh daily as they ran out of things which I prefer as I know it's baked daily and large sizes too. I didn't ask for toasted and just assumed it was but will ask if possible next time.

Returned to find they've sadly left their old space, but I'm so so happy to hear that tabor bread is rolling with the changes they're going through. Happy to see them land on their feet, and in my opinion, they're just as good as ever. This time, we picked up some croissants (still the best tasting I've ever had), chocolate croissants, the oat cookie (oof that chewiness!), Focaccia and some bagels and cream cheese. First time having the bagels and boy is the texture amazing, especially the herb and cheese. It's crispy on the outside and perfectly proofed inside, giving you substantial sourdough weight and chew, yet an airiness, without losing any moisture. Perfection. Was a little unsure why they had a winter focaccia in late May though. But still delicious nonetheless. I do miss their outside tables and bathrooms, but alas. Beggars for the tastiest pastries in town, cannot be choosers. Excited to see where they go from here

I really like their bread, bagels, and sandwiches here. Coffee isn't great and their pastries are hit or miss for me. There are a few other things that knock this down from a five star experience. Their supply is totally unreliable. I have come in after 12:00 and they have not had their sandwiches ready for the day and quoted another hour. When I drive across town to get sandwiches and they haven't even made them for the day.... I'm just confused as to how this even happens. And it's happened multiple times. But then sometimes you come at open and they have sandwiches. Their supply of bread and pastries is also totally unreliable, as in they will sell out sometimes within an hour of opening. So if I come early, I can't get sandwiches, but if I come late, I risk them being totally 100% sold out of all bread and pastries? I've journeyed to the storefront probably a half dozen times now and walked out empty handed. This is just too unreliable for me. Lastly, their prices are just too high. They ask for tips AND have a mandatory health insurance charge that is a % on all items. So not only are the items priced pretty high, but the prices advertised aren't even ultimately correct due to fees on top. You basically don't know this until / if you get a receipt. They also don't have a bread slicer or a way to heat up quiche. There are too many awesome bakeries in Portland to keep coming back here. I want to love Tabor, but I just don't

I stopped in here after seeing it on the way to Never Coffee. It was very cute and there was a visible line. There is a large assortment of pastries and bread to choose from. They all start at about $6 which is a little wild. I didn't expect to see a passionfruit donut so I got that. I came in with ambitions to find a chocolate croissant. The passionfruit donut is huge. The glaze is very sour and sweet. The bread is a bit more dense than expected but spongy and soft, more like bread in texture. The chocolate croissant looked a little burnt on the outside. It was very VERY flaky and started to lose the whole top layer when touched and took it out. It was super messy. The chocolate was not spread out evenly but bunched. The chocolate itself was a very nice dark chocolate. I wish it could've been warmed up a bit. The bread of the croissant was oddly sour. It was darker in color as well almost like a different flour than I'm used to. I'm not sure I would ever seek out this croissant, especially for $6. There seemed to be a 5% tax of some sort as well as I was charged $12.60 for two items. Would've been nice to know what that was for. Overall pretty good stop in but not my favorite croissant.

we were having some friends over for Hungarian Mushroom Soup and the-woman-who-lets-me-live-with-her (thanks Mike) thought that turkey sandwiches would be a nice accompaniment so I immediately went out for the fixins. Loved Tabor Bakery. Too many cupcake shops in the world right now and not enough places that make really, really good bread. This is one of them. I only tried the Cinnamon Sugar Morning Bun (non-gooey cinnamon roll) but if it is representative of the rest of the offerings, then this place is a gem. Enough sugar, still granular, blended perfectly with the cinnamon, rolled in an enriched dough that parted graciously between the teeth. Sometimes the quality of the dough is lost amidst all of the gooeyness of a traditional sticky bun or cinnamon roll but here it really had the chance to shine, tender, slightly sweet, just lovely. I might have chosen Rye bread for the sandwiches but it was Tuesday and they don't make rye until Wednesday (and apparently they have special days, like this coming Friday, when they make even more special breads, like caraway rye). I opted for the red wheat bread over the seeded red wheat bread because the latter does not rise as high and I wanted good-sized sandwiches. Yeasty, rich with that earthy taste you associate with red wheat (hard kernel, winter wheat), the bread was wonderfully soft on the inside with a chewy crust. I'll be back for the caraway rye in a few days, but at first visit, this is a place that I will mark on my map of sources for when I am looking for something special.

Fantastic bread and pastries! Great service, as well. Tiny bakery but well worth a visit.

If you love bread, this will be your temple. Piles of bagged flour everywhere. Beautiful bread loaves. I split a sandwich with my girlfriend. Crusty baguette lettuce, a soft cheese and tomatoes. The veggie sandwich that was ready to go. Delicious. I bought a country loaf that kept well for a couple of days.

Tabor Bread stands out in a sea of coffee / bakery cafés. Imaginative baked goods, awesome coffee, pleasant staff, cozy ambience, what more do you need? Quickly and quietly becoming my favorite morning spot.

customer service sucks, place is a chaotic nightmare. now they want to add a 15% surcharge???

I can make this review one of my shortest. If you want good bread - the way to tabor bread can't be to long. (Period, I could end here). But i will not since Tabor also overs very unique pastry and have sandwiches. They also do their flour milling them self and you can taste it. So it is a very local shop that need your attention and deserves it! Go get some bread and take some unusual treats.

I came here today hoping to find challah bread or brioche to make French toast. The menu online didn't seem to show a list of breads, just daily specials so that was confusing. They didn't have either bread since it's not the daily special...however they did have several other options that all looked great. I got the oat porridge bread which I used for my French toast and I was actually extremely impressed! The bread has a nice coating of oats and the inside was extremely fluffy and tender. It worked quiet well for my French toast and didn't get soggy, but instead was cooked to perfection. Other options they had for sale was an assortment of pastries (even vegan ones!), some oats, stuffing and coffee. The dirty chai latte was made with local chai that has a spicy aftertaste. The ambiance was rustic but classy and it seemed to be very popular. I am definitely hooked on this fresh bread and it's work paying the extra money for the extra flavor and quality.

A $16 breakfast sandwich? Bread and egg? Why not just round up to twenty and forcibly add a 25% gratuity? Goodbye.

I don't write a lot of reviews but this place is worth a mention. Best bagel I've ever had, I think about it at night sometimes.

Walked over on a Sat and got fresh bread. Nice We went looking for the Walnut cranberry bread that they said they had that day, but they did not make it. So if you're looking for a specific bread, you might want to check first.

We came late so they' were out of some stuff but the bread bagel sandwiches were excellent. The service was outstanding. I can see why they are so busy.

I love their breads! Love their interesting focaccia combinations, and their sandwiches. They also have a tent at my local farmer's market.

Overall, very good pastries and bread in part because they use great grains. Occasionally they have an off pastry that I don't enjoy. I really like their bagels. Their new location doesn't have a bathroom and you can't get anything "for here" aka on a plate or in a real coffee mug. I don't really like getting my pastries or coffee to go. There's always a long line and even longer wait to get prepared bagels. I would probably give them 4.5 stars if it wasn't for their insane prices. They also add a 5% charge for "health insurance" for their staff. I really hate service charges. Just ask the price you need and let consumers decide. And then they ask for tips on top of it at the end. 2 breakfast bagels and 2 pastries easily end up being $50. If money was absolutely no object and you don't mind getting things to go, then fine, 4.5 stars. We go to Ken's instead.

SO GOOD. An unassuming bakery near the tail end of Hawthorne, Tabor Bread may not seem like much, but their all-natural leavened sourdough breads and pastries give the more well-known bakeries of Portland a run for their money. I came on a late Tuesday morning, and they were still pretty busy! While most of the customers took their orders to go, they offer indoor bar seating and picnic tables outside. I LOVE sourdough, and I opted for their breakfast bagel sandwich on a sesame bagel. I also got an oatmilk cortado (they feature Push and Pull coffee!) I do feel however their prices are a bit steep compared to other bakeries in Portland (hence, minus a star). The sandwich was $14 and the cortado was $4.50. The bagel was so good! I don't like dense bagels, but Tabor Bread delivered! Tangy, chewy, not too dense, nor did it taste just like bread in bagel form, it had a nice crunchy exterior loaded with sesame seeds, they nailed it. The eggs and bacon provided a texture contrast and were not overly salty. The cortado was smooth, but the espresso was a bit bitter. Not sure if I would get it again. I'll probably stick to their baked goods next time (their cakes and pastries looked absolutely divine!) If Tabor Bread isn't on your next carb venture, add it to the list!!

Great selection. Tasty breads. I drove into Portland to check this out. I was not disappointed. Pleased. Many vegan options. The bread I purchased toasted nicely and had great flavor.
