Description
[edit]Curtis Cook of Willamette Week said the bakery "offers novel takes on traditional breads and pastries, baked with ingredients sourced from local vendors and growers".[1] The menu has included baguettes, chocolate chip cookies, croissants, tarts, and "slab bread" (focaccia-style flatbread with olive oil and sea salt).[2]
History
[edit]Tim Healea is the bakery's owners. Lee Posey of Nel Centro became baker of Little T in 2009.[3] In 2013, Healea announced plans to open a second location (dubbed Little T Baker and nicknamed "Little T") in the West End's Union Way.[4][5] The 400-square-foot space opened in October.[6]
Reception
[edit]In 2013, Little T ranked number 32 on The Daily Meal's list of America's 50 Best Bakeries.[7] In 2015, Healea was a semifinalist in the James Beard Foundation Awards' Outstanding Baker category.[8][9] Emmie Martin and Sarah Schmalbruch selected Little T to represent Oregon in Business Insider's 2015 list of the best bakeries in each U.S. state.[10] Michelle Lopez included Little T in Eater Portland's 2021 overview of "Where to Find Flaky, Crackly Croissants in Portland".[11] She and Brooke Jackson-Glidden included the bakery in the website's 2021 list of "Outstanding Bakeries in Portland and Beyond".[12]
