What people say, in short
Ken's Artisan Bakery is recommended for a pastry-led breakfast in Northwest Portland. One diner particularly likes the ham, Gruyere and thyme croissant, and another agrees about the ham croissant while praising value. Other commenters recommend morning buns, quiche and sweet pastries. A passerby describes a morning line but has not eaten there. A separate diner likes the baked goods without considering them the best they have tried. Delivery should not be inferred from its appearance in a delivery-request discussion.
