A Slice of France:
Exploring St. Honoré’s Artisanal Bread
The aroma of freshly baked bread, the gentle crackling of a crust yielding to a soft interior, the simple pleasure of a warm baguette with butter… These are the experiences that transport us to the heart of a Parisian boulangerie. At St. Honoré, we bring this authentic French baking tradition to Portland, crafting each loaf with passion, precision, and the finest ingredients.
For over 20 years, our bakers have been dedicated to the art of breadmaking, honoring time-honored techniques passed down through generations. We believe that bread is more than just sustenance; it’s a celebration of taste, texture, and the shared joy of breaking bread together.
From Grain to Golden Crust
The magic happens in our bakery, where skilled hands transform simple ingredients into culinary masterpieces. Our bakers knead the dough with care, allowing the gluten to develop and create the perfect texture. The slow fermentation process, a testament to patience and tradition, creates bread that is both nourishing and deeply satisfying.
