We happened upon the most charming boulangerie located one block from our hotel. What a nice surprise! How can anyone resist not stopping in for a latte or cappucino? Mine had their signature heart swirl and The Man made his a Tic Tac Toe game.
Now, let's talk about the floors, the rattan chairs, the wood oven, the heavy wooden beamed ceiling, the sales counter……
the baguettes standing at attention in gorgeous baskets, the wall sconces on the mirrors, the enormous floor to ceiling bread display….
the hand made artisan breads in all shapes and sizes, the darling pots of Bon Maman jams….
and their scrumptious looking pastries of which we had none. Yes, none. But if I were to have had one it would be one of these Tarte au Citron, yummy no?
We finished our lattes and headed off for our next adventure. Please, if you live anywhere near this place make it a point to visit. You will not be disappointed. Saint Honore Boulangerie is located at 2335 NW Thurman St., Portland, Oregon. Just go ahead and add it to your navigation now. Your car will take you right to it!
Uhm – that is really weird b/c this place is literally about 1 block from where I work here in Portland. Anyway – I am SO glad that you checked this place out as it is one of my FAVORITE FAVORITE FAVORITE Portland spots and I always take people there when they come to visit. I hope you are enjoying your stay and this amazing weather!!!
Hmmm…guess I should have proof read my comment…lol…”tahat” is, of course, the new word for ‘that’. :-)Tami E.
Sara's Sweet Surprise
I love that you have found a lil’ place new to this PNW veteran. I will definitely be exploring this charming boulangerie in my near future.
Looks like it’s filled with many sweet treats to enjoy.
Sweet Wishes,
Sara
Yummy! Of course, you could make a glass of water in a plastic cup look fabulous! (lol) Enjoy your trip, Heather, and we need to get together when you return!

Oh, Heather, they also have one in Lake Oswego (closer to me…) and it’s my absolute favorite!!! Their petits pains au chocolat are little bites of heaven!! And those little pots of Bonne Maman bring back memories… They serve them all over European hotels for breakfast!!
Isabel
Wow, I thought you’d actually come over to France until I got to the dollar sign on the tartes au citron! It’s very authentic, and those tartes are always my favourites…
Please don’t tempt me with those lemon tarts yummy!!!! how good were you to not be tempted I would not be able to resist!! I am off to get a coffee know 🙂
Oh my word ! How delightful. My fav pic is the one with the baskets in neat stacks and the beautiful breads below. What a find. Why aren’t there more places like that in MY world? Oh wait….I live in the country, on a farm/ranch…okay…that explains it. 🙂 Love seeing these pictures though.
What a pretty little spot. We have a wonderful local coffee shop that is similar. The breads and desserts and amazing but it’s fun to just sit and look around too.
Hope you’re having fun and restful moments. Blessings.. Polly
I’ve been fortunate to visit France- Paris is my fave city in the entire world (followed by our own Chicago here in the US Of A.) If I had not known you were going to be in Portland, I’d have sworn you were on a local backstreet in the heart of Paris- amazing shoppe!
Great photos, Heather!!! We just got back from The Cape and loved it. I have been thinking that Oregon would be a great choice for next year…it might have to be sooner after those photos. I don’t know what kind of will power you have to resist lemon tartes!!!!
What are the chances of having one of those tarts shipped to Kansas? Curious minds need to know! I think I died and went to heaven looking at your pictures….thought I was in Paris! (I’ve actually never been to Paris!) Have a great time!
I am just so delighted each time I visit you. The owrds, the photos…just made me sigh with delight. I hope to finally make it tp Paris next year, but, until then, seeing this post gave me joy!
That is sooo not fair! I lived near Venice for a few months and had cappuccino quite often, and it looked just like that. I’ve never, ever been able to find it in the US. Over there, it was like the most decadent dessert. I don’t know what they did…. but it was divine.
Heather I have been there several times and it is fabulous. Every time I go to NW 23rd it is a must to sneak over there, and if I am too full I bring desert home.

Your photos make me want to pack my bags and head straight for Portland! As usual, your pictures are captivating! Thank you for sharing.
Hello, I’m leaving a comment for you because you have a great site here – I’ve really enjoyed reading your posts and your pictures are great !
Thanks for sharing them and have a lovely weekend
Wow. That’s all I can say. I just found your blog and have spent the past 2 hours reading the archives, with a stop in your lovely shop…to shop. I’m in head over heels and can’t wait for my purchases!
Oh Yum!
You know how I love my coffee:)
Kyle is up at college…got home late last night.
Have a safe trip home,

Jeanette Zamora now Sharpe!
Oh I lived a few blocks away from there – NW 24 & Overton. How I miss that area so much. Incidentally I live in Riverside now myself, too. I actually received a piece of your mail by accident & had them re-assign & that’s how I became familiar with your website & offerings. 🙂
Oh, I just discovered your blog (Beth of Beth’s Take on Life recommended I visit you) and I could move right in! Your photos convey such a wonderful mood – it speaks to my soul! I’ll be back very often to visit!! 🙂 Silke
Hi, found your blog through thepolkadotbarn, and have really enjoyed it! Just looking at the cappucinos made my mouth water…

Heather how wonderful. What a Treat for you and the MAN! I love the Artisty in a cup of coffee. Thanks for showing us the Magic all around you. What a Special place. I adore Artisan Bread. Love to have them at Thanks giving in a pile. Also Martha Stewarts shrimp smear sandwichichs inside a carved out artisan bread for Teas! I’ve been making Jams and hopefully capturing a little of the season best taste wise! Enjoy. I’m off for a little beach time!

WHY didn’t we know about this place??? Looks amazing!
I’m loving the stacked baskets.
It was so nice to meet you in person at Tarte.
Hope you and your husband had an incredible journey down the coast.
Many Blessings, Erin
Lovely and enchanting!

Didn’t know this sweet little French place was in Portland…gosh, was just there and so enjoyed Petite Provence and their lemon tarts.
Fun post! Lylah
How lucky can you get!!! My friend Ann lived in Paris for 8 years – she’s a lucky lady too….Jennifer
You are killing me with those photos! I could live with only bread butter and jam. (OK and some cheese. And ham)
