Little T American Baker is a neighborhood favorite, known for its fresh-baked bread, delicious pastries, and solid coffee. The space is bright and open, with big windows letting in plenty of natural light. It’s a great spot to sit down with a book, catch up with a friend, or grab a quick bite before heading to House of Vintage PDX. The bakery has a laid-back, welcoming vibe, making it a perfect stop for both regulars and first-timers.

While the bakery is all about the bread and pastries, their coffee is just as good. They serve strong, smooth espresso and classic coffee drinks, all made with high-quality beans. If you love a good latte or cappuccino, you won’t be disappointed. Their menu also includes a selection of teas and refreshing non-caffeinated drinks. On the food side, their croissants, scones, and sandwiches are standouts. A must-try is their kouign-amann—flaky, buttery, and just the right amount of sweet.

The staff here are friendly and quick, even when the line gets long. Speaking of lines, weekends can be a bit busy, but the wait is usually worth it. Seating inside is somewhat limited, but they do have outdoor seating, perfect for a sunny day. Customers love the balance of quality, flavor, and casual charm, and it’s easy to see why this spot has a loyal following.
