Lanvin French Bakery

This bakery has been around since I was a child. I have some of the best memories of getting Pho, going to the Asian market, then swinging by the bakery before heading back home. Now the restaurant is in the main building, the old spot is a dive bar, but this bakery remains unchanged.

It’s a small bakery that specializes in French pastries and a small assortment of Asian desserts. There is a review about the coffee being terrible here, and to be honest, they’re probably correct— this is not a cafe, so they did it to their self.

The assortment of pastries is not always consistent in items offered. Some days will have beautiful swan puff pastries and other days will have chocolate croissants. All are delicious though.

The pastries that keep me and my family coming back are the eclairs and pate chaud (“pat-tay showed”). The latter is a huge favorite of mine. If you haven’t had one before, it’s a flakey pastry with a seasoned meatball in the center- a savory pastry.

Their pate chaud is always done so well. If someone wanted to try their pate chaud, I would recommend getting to the bakery soon after opening because they sell out fast and don’t make more through out the day. Plus, having a freshly baked pate chaud is unbelievably satisfying.

Great bakery however you have to go before noon because they run out of the delicacies pretty early.

They have a great pastries!, fresh and full of flavor. Prices are decent for the quality. Personal favorites include banh mi, pate choux, everything croissants.

Found this bakery after buying their bread at a huge Asian market. Loved seeing the same lady at both places, she was restocking and gave us her freshest bread. Been searching for a Cuban bread substitute since moving to Portland and their baguettes are wonderful, very light inside with a crunchy crust. We indulged in their sandwiches- highly recommend the bbq #2, pastries and of course baguettes. Love this bakery!

Clean, nice service, tasty banh mi sandwiches (the bread is soft and delicious), reasonable prices. I'll definitely stop in again.
