Bakeshop PDX

After spending time as a pastry chef at renowned Los Angeles restaurants Spago and Campanile, Kim Boyce moved to Portland, Oregon, and opened Bakeshop in 2011. Bakeshop is an artisanal bakery featuring a collection of high-end European-style pastries with a focus on whole grains and locally-sourced products, and it’s renowned as one of Portland’s very best bakeries.

Determined to create delicious cakes, muffins, breads, tarts, and cookies that her kids (and everybody else) would love, Boyce began experimenting with whole-grain flours, and found they brought so much more flavor, texture, and color to the plate. It was a life-changing epiphany, one that’s made her a three-time James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Baker and a winner for her cookbook, Good to the Grain. From traditional burnt Basque cheesecakes and almond croissants to hand pies and scones, these are the baked goods that Portland has fallen in love with, and they’re now shipping nationwide!
