There’s nothing like fresh baked goods right out of the oven. Whether it’s a freshly baked cookie, a hand-decorated cake, or delicious butterhorn, there are few better ways to start the day off. That’s why we are very excited to be delivering for Helen Bernhard Bakery!
Helen Bernhard Bakery was established in 1924, beginning, as many bakeries did in those early days, by baking cakes for neighbors and friends. At the time, the Bernhard family lived in the house next to the present shop. Ben Bernhard’s father was a minister at Grace Lutheran Church and his mother, Helen, created the cake business as a hobby and an addition to the family’s income.
Most recently, the bakery was purchased by Mike and Kellie Snaadt. They are inspired by the rich history and loving memories the bakery provides the community. The bakery has seen many changes in it’s 90 years of existence, but amid all those changes, the home bakery feeling still remains.
And now, Helen Bernhard’s delivers with Portland Pedal Power! Take a look at our menu, and you’re going to find some delicious treats:

Gluten Free Gem bakery owner, Anne Miller, knows the challenges and obstacles that come along with eating a restricting gluten free diet. So when her husband, Mike Miller, opened up his second coffee shop, Corbett Coffee Plant, in the John’s Landing neighborhood in 2006 she insisted that he do it completely gluten free. They had just discovered that their daughter Greta, like Anne, was also gluten free and the family was facing the challenges of finding locales where Anne and Greta could eat comfortably without the worry of cross contamination.
