Would it be selfish of me to say the Beaverton bakery Hold the Wheat was developed and launched just for me? I mean, in all honesty, this place should be called Nico's Gluten Free Bakery... I love what they've created so much! Hold the Wheat is both style and substance. They've done an amazing job creating gluten free baked goods that are delicious; so crispy and flaky when they're supposed to be, so light and fluffy as well - you'd never know you were eating products without gluten. Bravo! Whenever I find businesses that fill me with joy, I always remember that love is in the details. And that's very much the case at Hold the Wheat. I love their updated vintage esthetic. The pink and orange and brown has me gushing emojis of pure joy! The pink takeout boxes are adorbs. The lush and beautiful plant wall, disco ball, retro seating, and happy branding all leave me wanting to do a happy dance right there in the dining room. The breakfast sandwiches are my go-to, but everything else I've tried here is amazing. The staff are super friendly, extremely patient, and always have great recommendations for any indecisive customers like me. Check this place out, I'm sure you'll love it just as much as I do! read more

Hold the Wheat is such a gem in Beaverton. I love that they have such a variety of options from pizza to pop tarts and plenty of vegan options as well! The service was great and they walked us through everything they had. The inside is super cute, hip and love all the pink decor! read more

Recently determined I needed to go GF, so I'm on the constant search for options. We tried HTW this weekend, grabbing a handful of sweet treats and one warm, savory item. Every item was tasty...every bit as tasty as non-GF treats. I didn't need the amount of icing they include on things, but that's pretty standard for me as I tend to like things slightly less sweet than the normal human it seems. Service was friendly and helpful, we really enjoyed everything, appreciated the options (even though they stated they were low on options that afternoon) and will definitely be back to try more! read more

Fabulous gluten free bakery. Huge selection. Biscuits and sandwiches. Chicken, egg and cheddar biscuits were great

I love a savory pastry which is hard to come by as a GF person. Every time i have gotten the mushroom pastry there have been huge woody rosemary stems/sticks inside the pastry. The rosemary isnt chopped either, making the texture awful. Really disappointing, and a possible choking hazard. read more

First off, the staff is amazing and this review is not about them. But I need to say I'm kind of shocked at the level of "you can totally tell this is gluten free" was off the charts, and not in a good way. It was highly apparent from the first bite of all of my items that these were gluten free, and didn't expect that from this place. That sandy, gritty texture was in every bite, even the chocolate cake, which normally are the moister of the gf goods, and I can't imagine the owner of this bakery is gluten free, because that texture is the nemesis of gluten free products, and there are many local bakeries that have amazing products that you actually question if it's gluten free or not because the texture is just perfect and moist. That paired with the price is unfortunately a no for me. Don't get me wrong, I will pay top dollar for a delicious and perfectly textured gluten free product, but this wasn't it. read more

Great service. Wish they had more quiches on the weekends. That's up to management I heard...

A true little and cute gem! Everything is gluten free, but if you were not to know that, you would never guess that those delicious goods aren't wheat-based. The selection of pastries is big. I have been shopping here for a year by now and have probably tasted almost all their offering - and gotta say, they are All delicious! Nice selection of frozen enteres and pastries to go. Good coffee and lattes to pair with your desserts, and they do have a few tables for you to seat and enjoy on the spot. Price is reasonable. For sure it is easy to find much more expensive GF dessert places in Portland. Eveybody in the store is very cordial and welcoming. This is a full 5 stars bakery. Higly recommended! read more

You had me at pop tart. The interior is cute and funky. For some reason I felt like I was walking onto the set of the dating game. Which might be a good metaphor as I approached the glass case to see who (what) might be a good match for me. The website doesn't show a whole lot of dairy free items, but they have a whole case in the store. I bought several and can't wait to try. (They had two different loves, sugar cookies, muffins, and a couple of other pastries. They also had one savory vegan option.) So far I've tasted the pop tart (must be popular because I almost had to arm wrestle a young girl for the last one). We arrived at 10:30, so that's relatively quick to sell out of something. It was delicious. The crust had a good crunch but was also flakey and seemed buttery even though it was vegan. The jam filling was wonderful. Not too much, and a good thickness, so it didn't squeeze out when you eat it. Also got a matcha latte. Way better than Starbucks. You can taste the matcha and it isn't too sweet. The line was a little confusing, but the staff were very helpful and friendly. Definitely plan to come back. read more

I'm not GF but one of my friends is celiac and I'm always up for trying GF bakeries with her and this was probably my favorite so far! Was pleasantly surprised and also their coffee was delicious! I had the coffee cake and my friend loves their pop tarts. read more

I don't have one negative thing to say. Are the prices high? Yes, but you get what you pay for. I am not gluten free but my girlfriend is. And I made the trek all the way from the east side to get her a treat. The staff was amazing. Personable, knowledgable and patient. And you know what else, their clientle was spot on. I asked a couple of strangers what they recommended and every single one of them was enthusiastic about their recommendations. One even said they weren't gluten free but come here anyway because everything was so delicious. Got the girlfriend the chocolate chip cookies which were amazing. Salty sweet and soft. She loved the apple turnover thingymabob. She said it tasted like apple pie. The gingerbread cookies were also soft and not crunchy, inedible hard. They were fucking delicious. Like a gluten free party in your mouth. I'm surprised my girlfriend even shared. This place is a 10/10. I lied when I said I have nothing negative to say. I guess the one negative thing I have to say is that now I have to come to west side more often for this bakery and throw my money at them for their baked goods. Assholes. read more

I wanted something special for a dear friend who is celiac, and I remember passing this place a number of times, but never had a reason to stop by. What a silly reason not to stop by this amazing place!!! Going into this bakery, one thing that caught my eye was the signage. You can't miss this place and it's cute! Walking in, I was immediately greeted by the pleasant staff. Being my first time, I asked what's good? Another silly question... everything was good! From their savory to sweet selections. I chose some savory items and a lot of sweet ones as well. One thing I will say, and I've been to a couple gluten free bakeries in the area. This place does the crust right! It's flakey and crunchy in all the right ways. Another thing I will say is what I chose had a load of fruit in them. Not syrupy or gooey, it was simply fruit. It was refreshing. Not overly sweet, just right! Needles to say, the selections were a huge hit! We will definitely be back for more! Well done Hold the Wheat!!! read more

Hold The Wheat - Lemon-blueberry pop tart, raspberry cream danish, Marion berry cream danish, strawberry sweetie pie. So much fruit!!! So good!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

We are not GF, but 3 of us split 4 sweet items and we all liked all of the items. We'll definitely be back!

The bakery is quite eye catching with a bright orange exterior. Once you enter, you are greeted by a whimsical retro-inspired decor. We were there on a Saturday morning and it was PACKED! As goods were flying out off of the shelves, I was a bit worried that they might sell out pastries! The good news is that they kept bringing out more to calm my food anxiety. My friend, the reason we came, has a serious gluten allergy and is allergic to eggs and nightshades. The only item she could have was the mushroom pastry and she really enjoyed it. I got the lemon & cream danish and an egg and sausage hot pocket, and liked them both. The hot pocket crust was hot and crunchy, while the lemon danish was tangy. Both were delicious and I enjoyed them with a cappuccino. I wish there was more indoor seating for a party of 3 or more. There was only one booth and it was taken. So we sat outside and got drizzled by the afternoon shower. Thank goodness the weather is still nice enough, but it won't be fun when winter comes. Also the pastries was quite pricy and the cost added up fast. I understand that speciality pastries usually cost more, but it does make it harder to justify frequent visits as I do not have any allergies or intolerances. Overall, it's a cute bakery which offers delicious gluten free pastries. I'd recommend it, especially for people who have gluten sensitivity. read more

Soooo good and has the cutest vibes. Amazing and delicious gluten free bakery. GF is hard to do right, but they figured it out! Such flakey and buttery crust on both their savory and sweet options. They even have some vegan choices too. Friendly service, let him pick out his favs for us to try, the snuggle pie was a huge hit. read more

I've driven past this gluten-free bakery countless times without realizing what 'hold the wheat' meant until I finally stopped in. I felt so silly. I was pleasantly surprised to find delicious, flavorful baked goods that don't taste like cardboard like previous gluten-free things I have ate. The Pop Tarts and hot veggie quiche were particularly amazing! However, I noticed that a lot of customers were dining in, but there wasn't an option to order on plates. This resulted in unnecessary waste from all the takeout boxes. I suggest offering trays with paper liners to reduce waste and help the planet. read more

Loved my oatmeal sandwich frosting cookie! It wasn't overly sweet and the cookie tasted great and you wouldn't have guessed it was gluten free.

One of the best quiche iPad excellent food service with a smile. Have a seat and enjoy

A neat newer place in the Beaverton area that has both sweet and savory treats. I believe they serve gluten-free items. I ordered a few things to try and bring back to share. The pepperoni pizza pocket was good. The Expresso Martini cupcake was a bit too sweet for me, but did have a good flavor to it. The people working here were super friendly and patient with me while I was trying to figure out what to get. read more

Deliciously savory, salty, Herby, somehow buttery mushroom pastry that was delicious hot from the case. That alone is reason to come back. Their savory options are abundant and look phenomenal. The chocolate cake was good too, but wasn't as rich as I hoped. I'd go savory again when I go back. read more

It's hard to miss the place when driving through the area. It's brightly colored and fun. We decided to stop in even though neither of us require a gluten-free diet. It's was super busy when we got inside. The last table had just been snagged, but we stayed there anyway. We shared a bacon and goat cheese quiche. It was delicious! Service was friendly and fast, even though they were super busy. I really want to try a pop tart next time!! read more

Finally a business that may survive in this location! While this should be a destination for all those that have celiac or are gluten-free, the pastries, cookies and bread is so good, everyone will enjoy it. read more

This cafe is small but mighty. They typically have a pretty full case so your options aren't limited - but weekends are best for more variety of savory options. We were floored by the French toast bake item, delicious. I always love the pop tarts because no one else does them, but skip the coffee. I get cutting costs but there's literally no reason to order espresso drinks when they have one of the worst machines in the world. A must go for any gf folks, always love finding new celiac safe places! read more

First timer here. The space is bright, clean, colorful and inviting. I had a savory Snuggle Pie and a latte. Both were excellent. And this is coming from a person who doesn't find a lot of GF food edible. I will definitely be returning and recommending to all. The women behind the counter were friendly, helpful and welcoming. I look forward to another visit. read more

I finally took the time to stop by Hold the Wheat today, I've driven by it so many times. I'm really glad I did! I had a chai latte, the Ube parfait, and coffee cake. Everything was delicious with the star being the parfait. I thought the parfait was very light and understood why once I got to work, instead of a thick yogurt it's actually very light and airy like a whipped cream consistency, with granola, blueberries, and little cookie pieces throughout. The friendly lady who helped me was so nice showing what all they offered in the cases, I would have spent more time asking questions if I wasn't in a rush to get to work, next time! read more

I can't say enough good things about this bakery! As someone who eats gluten-free, it's not always easy to find baked goods that taste just as good (or better!) than their traditional counterparts--but this place nails it. Every item I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. I like that they have both sweet and savory items. The Quiche, Snuggle Pie and Lemon Danish are an absolute must-try. You'd never guess it's gluten-free. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting--perfect for a quick treat or lingering over coffee with something sweet. Whether you're gluten-free by necessity or choice, or just appreciate top-notch baked goods, this bakery is a gem. Highly recommend! read more

Thank you so much Hold The Wheat for opening up in Beaverton! I cried tears of joy because of all the options here. It is 100% celiac safe and gluten- free. The staff was very sweet and the person who made my coffee did a great job. I love a good mocha that isn't too sweet. The jalapeño popper was delicious and the snuggle pie as well. The star of the show for me was the spencer cake. So soft and fluffy. This will be a new go-to spot for me. I love te decor here, so fun and very clean. Thank you so much for opening here! read more

[ food ]: 10/10 * This gluten free bakery blew my mind. I haven't had any sweet treats from a bakery in years so my opinion may be a little skewed but I was so impressed with the texture of the puff pastry on both the danish and turnover! - Chocolate caramel cheesecake: I normally am not a chocolate cake type of person but this shocked me and I couldn't get enough! The cake was so incredibly moist and it wasn't overpoweringly sweet. The caramel was such a beautiful touch to the rich chocolate flavor! - Mixed berry turnover: I feel that this would be better warmed up but nonetheless delicious! Puff pastry was buttery and flaky with the perfectly sweet and tartness coming from the mixed berry filling. - Raspberry danish: This was my favorite overall. This danish was somewhat similar to a knotts cookie except it had a flaky pastry crust and the raspberry filling was perfectly balanced like the turnover. If anything, I liked the pastry more than the filling! [ service ]: 10/10 * The staff was extremely helpful in picking out some of their personal and customer favorites since there were so many yummy looking options and they did not disappoint! There were some savory items that I'll definitely be back to try! [ ambiance ]: 8/10 * The shop was very clean and had really cute decor! read more

You would never know this is a gluten free bakery. Loved the caramelized onion, gruyere quiche, the raspberry danish, marionberry danish, and the "snuggle pie." I love the name of the sausage roll- "snuggle pie." Coffee is onpoint. Even for a soft opening, service was quick and lovely. We will be back to have their Spencer cake and cookies which also looked amazing. Vibe is seventies retro hip. read more

Kind service, cute and kitschy theming, and delicious gluten free sweets. What more could you ask for?

My family of 3 is not gluten free, but I have been eyeing this place because the theming & decor is so cute! Finally stopped by on 9:30am on a Sunday. No line, but a number of patrons were sitting inside drinking coffee and chatting at the indoor tables. Well-stocked pastry display. Cashier was pleasant & friendly. We ordered a few pastries and I was disappointed to see they weren't heated before serving. I ended up pleasantly surprised when the savory pastries were already warm! I enjoyed the ham & cheese danish with a crumbly, slightly sweet, buttery crust and a savory ham, cheese & cream cheese mixture baked on top. My husband and toddler enjoyed the savory snuggle pie with honey mustard on the side. A few parts of the sausage were a bit spicy for my toddler, but she only had a tiny complaint with one bite and then continued to eat and enjoy. We also liked the mixed berry sweetie pie which was perfectly sweet and full of berries. The pop tarts were cute, but ended up being a bit too sweet for us. My husband was initially skeptical, but I'm glad we ended up eating in because we had to place a second order for more treats to go. We will definitely be back! read more

The first pastry i tried was a marionberry Danish and it was delicious. The cookie pastry was so flaky and butter tasting but I believe it was vegan. So much jam it was perfection. Can't wait for my next taste. read more
