Best Bakery in Portland · Portland, OR
Helen Bernhard Bakery has been a Portland fixture since 1924, when Helen Bernhard began baking cakes for neighbors on NE Broadway. A century on, the old-fashioned bakery is beloved for its wedding and celebration cakes, cinnamon rolls, challah, and glass cases of cookies, pastries, and pies.
One of Portland's oldest bakeries, still scratch-baking on the same street, Helen Bernhard is the shop generations of Portlanders have ordered their birthdays and weddings from.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

This page is the standing record for Helen Bernhard Bakery (2025). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
