Sweetpea Baking Company
1205 SE Stark Ave, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Sweetpea Baking Company is a beloved Portland institution where regulars keep coming back for standout sandwiches like the Higgins and Turtle Power, paired with solid coffee in a casual, walkable atmosphere. While their pastry game can be inconsistent—the cinnamon rolls have disappointed some—their breakfast sandwiches shine, especially the tofu scramble versions loaded with tempeh bacon and fresh ingredients. It's the kind of place where you'll settle in with a longtime local or grab something quick, and leave feeling genuinely fed.”
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.

Their Thanksgiving version of “Tofurky” turned out to be completely different than typical ones - no filling/stuffing and gravy. Aesthetically not very pleasing either. Taste was unimpressively mediocre. Besides that, there was no instruction given for reheating. When asked, the…
Great casual atmosphere, easy walk up ordering, friendly staff, and fresh, filling, delicious food! The tofu scramble was hearty with tons of tempeh bacon. The Turtle Power sandwich was packed with flavor and so satisfying. Both with plenty of leftovers for a second meal.
