Crema's Take
“Grand Central Bakery's bread is legitimately exceptional—locals rave about it with the fervor usually reserved for famous bakeries in other cities, and it shows in every sandwich and pastry that comes out of here. The Sellwood location moves fast despite constant lines, making it perfect for grabbing an almond croissant and coffee before work or stopping in after a meeting, though if you want to linger, there's solid seating and that neighborhood cafe vibe worth savoring.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Parking available.
