    Menu of the day!
    Brian W.

    What a neat place... sort of an underground pastry movement in Johns Landing. This shop might seem grassroots but apparently there is a major following in the area. I just found out about it and I'm very glad I did Basically, you show up when they are open... currently only on weekends from 9-1. Then, you get the difficult task of picking something from a ridiculous list of amazing options ranging from donuts to scones to croissants to cakes. Choosing only one thing seems impossible. But isn't that true about every great bakery? Be sure to show up early because they do run out of things as the day goes on. I unfortunately was not able to try their donut option when I showed up just before 11 AM. I tried a scone and cookie and both were fantastic. The prices are a bit high for the market. But it's nice to be supporting a local person. Also, there are currently no seating options available so it's just a walk up and buy from the window type of experience. They did recently acquire the space next door and I was informed that they are turning it into a sit down type of café area. I think it will be a better experience overall when that is available. Overall, a fun experience and a great way to support a local shop that is currently in the process of expanding. Plan to try a few things, and be pleasantly surprised with whatever you decide to purchase and take with you.

    Strawberry shortcake the greatest ever

    I went to add an update for Jen's and it said I haven't written a review for them yet!!! What?! No way. That can't be. I know I have emailed with the company a few times, and we have stood in line there many times. The update I wanted to share was; both my wife and I agree this was the best strawberry shortcake we have ever had! Great job Jen's! it has such a good balance of sweet and a little salty. The line took an hour, we got there about 30 min's before opening. Every time we wait... it's slightly annoying but once we get our pastries and get to enjoy them, we always say it was worth it. They are consistently great! A few great items: Earl grey donut (baked) Banana bread They have chocolate banana loaf sometimes, this was amazing! Scones, very good Sometimes have Portuguese tart, great Bolos, Portuguese slightly sweet puck shaped item, great for breakfast Many cake options They have so much more than this, check out their IG. They are building next door a coffee and seating space, which will be great. Currently you can only order outside at the window, and then they bring you the items. So there is just a line outside, and nowhere to sit or stay out of the rain. They do sell out, so keep that in mind. I wish they had a better ordering process, but anyway we can get it, we will support them. One more thing to add, I read up on their website and blog, I was very surprised to find out, she had a really tough period with a partnership that went very sour, it sounded terrible. I'm glad she never gave up. PDX is lucky to have this bakery.

    First off, the pastries are really good. Slightly expensive, but good. Given that it is just a window to order there is little to no ambiance. I guess what was hard for me to love is that their menu is so extensive, however they clearly don't make a lot of each of the items. We got there 30 min after they were open and all the cakes and all the specials were already sold out. It's hard driving far, paying a lot for your 3rd or 4th choice item. I'm really happy for this business to be popular but the uncertainty is why I can't give this place 5 stars.

    Ok where do I even start?!?!! My friend recommended this place when I was looking for a wedding cake. I had no idea how or where to go and Jen helped me through every step via email and phone call. I went with pistachio cake, raspberry curd filling, and earl grey buttercream for the guest cake and poppyseed vanilla cake, with passionfruit curd, and mango buttercream for the cutting cake. Oh my GOD. First of all, they were so incredibly beautiful it made me sick to even cut into them, but the flavor. The guest cake was just insane. My dad couldn't stop gushing, he said it was the best cake he's ever had. It was evident by the entire thing being almost gone by the time we left. We got the biggest available option 14" 4 layer for around 100 guests. The best part was, I had no idea what they would look like. I had never even been to the bakery to try anything . We discussed florals and piping and color but beyond that, I left it in their hands and I'm so glad I did. What a wonderful surprise!! A few weeks before the wedding, I went in to actually try some stuff and I ordered, the Thai tea cheesecake, jalapeño cheese croissant (amazing 10/10 my husband was like this is the best croissant I've ever had), and the miso pound cake (so different but so good). I knew that I had made the right choice choosing Jen's after trying some pastries and I was right!! The best part is, none of it is too sweet. I usually scrape icing off of cakes because it's too much, but in this case it was perfect. Just the right amount of sweetness in everything we tried. Thank you so much Jen!!!

    I'm visiting Portland and my gracious host got up early on Saturday morning to get on line and wait for Jen's to open. What a delightful surprise when she arrived home with a box of delicious cakes and pastries. I don't generally like cake because it can be too sweet for me and I don't like frosting. But Jen's frosting is one of the best I've ever had -- creamy without being oily and sweet without being overly so. My favorite though was the lemon Earl Grey raspberry knot - it was spectacular. I'm so glad to experience it!

    Stopped in on a cold & rainy day just after they opened and almost had the place to ourselves (I think this is probably quite rare). Friendly staff walked us through the menu and we had a really tough time deciding what to get. We ultimately went with a pretty cake, an earl grey cookie, and a maple roll. The cookie was excellent - doughy and flavorful. The roll was good, though my favorite style of cinnamon roll is gooier with more frosting. We are still so full from the first two that we haven't tried the cake yet, but it looks wonderful. They mentioned that they will be adding an indoor area soon so we'll definitely be back again!

    I finally went back to Jen's Pastries after having their cake at a wedding two years ago. I lived my dream of getting a whole big box of pastries like an instagram person. My favorite thing I got was the berry pop tart -- SO crispy and flavorful! I also got myself a slice of cake for my birthday. They're huge slices! The staff are really friendly and seemed to genuinely appreciate every customer. Right now they just do to-go orders at the door but it looks like their cafe space next door to the main kitchen will be really nice eventually!

    Jen's never disappoints! (Except when people buy the last of my favorites right in front of me :/ get there when they open for the day for sure! ) If you've never had the opportunity to try this absolute Portland staple, definitely don't skip on the lemon earl grey cookies, they are what allowed me to discover Jen's since they sell them out at the Helvetia Market! This last weekend I also had to grab a cinnamon roll because of how delicious their social media manger made it look being made, and I think I may have found a new favorite pastry! Staff are also very helpful if you see something delicious through the window and don't know what it is on the menu. Everything Jen's team creates is an absolute treat to try and it's fun to see all the Portland locals that come together to celebrate those creations!

    Really tasty bakery that is open on the weekends! Be sure to stop by at opening or check out their instagram to see what they have in store. Or in my case sold out! We came an hour after opening and their savories are definitely sold out pretty quickly so if you have your eyes set come right at opening. They have the sign and the pastries visible as you walk by as they don't have an indoor area. They'll cross out anything already sold out but once you place your order the team inside packs your goodies for you to take to go. There isn't much seating there either so enjoy your goodies in the car. I've tried their bolo buns, bacon rolls, biscuits, and earl grey cookies. All had such different textures and nice flavors without being too sweet. I would probs pass on the bolo next time but my favorite was the bacon roll. I saw that they also sell slices of cakes so I will be sure to check those out next time. Checking their instagram they seem to have other bakers pop in for some specials so be sure to follow.

    pastries!

    Jen's may be one of the best hidden secrets in Portland, and they deserve all the love and more!! They partner with multiple cafes around town serving their pastries, but they are open for retail on Saturday and Sunday from 9-1 at their facility on Macadam. While it is walk-up only, lines can get long, but that is just a testament to their exceptional quality. Their Instagram page is frequently updated with pastry offerings, and they offer a variety of laminated pastries, muffins, cakes, scones, cookies, and vegan options too! With sweet and savory selections, there is something for everyone. Portland loves lines, and waiting in line at Jen's is no exception. Give them the grace, and they will be sure to deliver delicious pastries for your weekend mornings!

    I understand the hype! Jen's is the real deal if you're a carb-loving human in need of a delicious pastry. There is no wrong choice from this extensive menu of delights! We arrived 20 minutes before opening and were second in line. By the time they opened, there must have been 30 people in line behind us! Worth the wait, though! I enjoyed a savory onion egg croissant and a lemon earl grey cookie and my girlfriend got the morning cinnamon bun and a slice of funfetti cake. Everything was epic.

    I know I've written a review for this place. This was supposed to be an update…read more We experience all emotions on our last visit, and I wanted to share so others can experience this. They have great scones. This is always what we order here. They have cranberry, buckwheat and a special blueberry cream version. We stopped by after eating at GIGI's, to get a scone. There were only buckwheat, that's not our fav. We were hear for cranberry. It's the best. We were about to leave, with sad looks on our face. I figured I'd just ask... you never know. The person behind the counter said they would check, it might be a long time if they are baking. Fingers crossed! We had some hope... but really I didn't think they had any. The person came back and said, YES we have them. They are fresh out of the oven!!! OMG From sadness, to hope, to surprise happiness. But then we tasted one in the car. I don't think I can go back to just buying room temp scones anymore. I'd really like to sign up for the hot scone club. Any scone fans out there need to try this. It was so delicious!

    Stopped in for a quick pastry and ended up with the most amazing rhubarb cream pastry I'm still…read morethinking about. The dough was light, crisp, and perfectly delicate, and the rhubarb was the true star--tart but beautifully balanced, not overwhelming at all. I went mid-morning, and it was fresh, not sitting around, which made a big difference. I honestly wish I had grabbed a second one, but my waistline politely voted no.
