Lovely Little T Baker photo by land_camera_land_camera 
Just what is the Best Bakery in Portland? Judging by the sheer number of comments in the poll, many of you feel quite strongly about your favorites.
A shakeup in the top bakeries this year, with the top choice from previous years falling all the way to the 5th position. I think the shuffle may be due to my separating out bread and splitting it into a different category. Either way, it is a surprise to see previous names dropping down: Nuvrei, Fleur De Lis, and Pearl Bakery. Little T certainly has a large following, finally taking the top spot after being at 2nd since 2011! They rose well above competitors, even those with multiple branches, which have had better exposure.

A few of my favorite comments:
Waves of Grain: Shhh, keep it like a secret! Wait no, tell everyone so they stay open! The spelt muffin, the sweet potato biscuit, the yogurt creme thingie. A side of asparagus when it’s in season!
Fluer De Lis: their meat/turnovers/ flaky like a French heart attack, but you can’t stop
Fluer De Lis: Paris in Portland!
Pix Patisserie: I drool over everything in their cases. Almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
