United States Bakery, Portland, Oregon Restaurant Details

Food:

I love that you can drive or walk past their baking line on 12th & Flanders at all hours of the day and see the bread being made. It's really fascinating to see the process.

Food:

Drive by this Franz bakery to a) enjoy the smell of fresh baked bread, b) watch the loaves move by through the window of the production line, and c) marvel at the rotating, super sized Franz sign/loaf. This location also holds an annual bicycle race around July/August called the Franz Crit. It's the kind of race that's not boring and there are nice handouts...like bread.

Franz is the OG Portland bread and they have an expanded line of breads to accommodate the local, cultural shift towards healthier (i.e. not enriched/organic) foods. These breads are really, really good so don't write them off. Try the Rogue River 24.

Food:

Great price and food, but hard to find location.
