Farina Bakery

Got the chickpea and sweet potato hand pie 🤌🏻 so delicious! Flaky dough, flavorful without being over spiced. Perfect lunch snack! Can't say how much I appreciate that they offer *multiple* savory options. Friendly staff! Appears to be predominantly a production site with counter service, which is fine by me! Enjoyed in my car with a podcast. (Photo depicts a hand pie in a pastry bag, car in background)

I have ordered here for fun, for my wedding, and on a food waste prevention app. Literally nothing to complain about. Everyone inside is kind and communicative, and has been super helpful when navigating allergens. I cannot reccomend enough for an advance order, we got everything sorted over a week ahead of time and pickup was so speedy. The macaroon shells are perfect, and the rotation of flavors feels really well executed always.

I knew when I opened the door and smelled that lovely sugared aroma that this shop would not disappoint. I purchased macarons and a slice of the vanilla almond raspberry cake (a very generous portion, btw). I shared with the young woman servicing me that I was visiting from NC. I didn’t realize until later that she added some extra macarons for me! So kind, thank you! The desserts were wonderful and I especially enjoyed the vanilla and blackberry rosemary macaron. Thank you for a memorable experience!

Great community "hidden gem". Excellent selection of grab and go freshly made pastries - my favorite so far being the Apple Hand Pie and the Vegan Coffee Cake. Their chocolate chip cookies are also incredible. The business has great signage out front regarding loud noises indoors, their hours of operation and some awesome social flair. Staff is always kind and helpful. Definitely a great place to stop in to grab a quick treat or to place an order for an event.

Ordered cake by the slice for delivery. Arrived frozen. Crumbles of ice. Called establishment, was told, " this was normal, as they sell so much, it has to be made ahead, frozen, then thawed to serve! Really. How many Stars? $40.00 for 2 pieces of frozen cake, and a over salted copycat chocolate chip cookie. Menu should read, previously frozen! OVERATED!!!

It all started with our routine Saturday morning walk with the dogs. After a long leisurely stroll with the dogs, we landed at Nossa Familia Coffee in the Pearl. As we ordered our coffee, the pastry case caught our attention. Each shelf was packed with delightfully looking savory sensations - so, we inquired. When the barista arrived at the 3rd shelf and declared "Savory Sweet Potato and Chickpea Hand Pie," I raised my hand (for no reason) After an awkward pause, I said, "We'll take 2, please, heated." The weather was turning toward fall, but the warm sunshine and inviting patio seemed the perfect place to sit and enjoy each other's company and taste this flaky triangular decadence. Weeks passed. With each visit to Nossa we'd order a Farina hand pie, ask were they were from, then eat ourselves into forgetting. Finally, a month later, on a quiet Saturday morning I had the notion (duh) to ask (again) then Google - Farina Bakery 🧐. This quickly led to an excursion on my Uber Eats app to (lo-and-behold 🤯) determine how often I could have Savory Sweet Potato & Chickpea hand pies delivered - like at my husband's place of work, (see photo) just because we want them! You'll read many a review about the quality of Farina's impossibly delicious Savory Sweet Potato & Chickpea Hand Pies and how layers of finely tuned pastry and a savory filling reminiscent of your childhood at grandma's house, dizzy from the aroma of everything fresh baked wafting through the house. It's the main reason we ❤️ Farina Bakery. Make it your reason too. Exceptionally talented bakers, you'll taste the love they have for artisanal masterclass baking - IN. EVERY. BITE. It doesn't end at the hand pie - dig deeper into the menu and tempt yourself with select, hand-crafted treats (the Pop Tart is 🔥)

I don’t get to come here often due to the drive and location but always feel like a kid in a pastry store when I do. I originally found Farina when moving to Portland and looking for Macaroons. While their Macaroons are heavenly (and keep me coming back for more despite the 30-45 minute drive) - they have a great assortment of other pastries and goodies too! Price wise they are a little spendier but I’m okay paying it to not only support the good work that the employees of the bakery (and in some cases their artistry of what they make like wedding cakes) but also the taste/quality. Taste is huge! They do have in location shopping available as well as work with companies like door dash and grub hub if you want to have your driver pick something up. Due to the nature of this business their mornings are typically the busiest and sometimes run out of key items before 11-12noon. So if you have your heart set on something order ahead or go in early. I also love that they change their seasonal macaroon offerings and keep that section lively. Great job Farina and thank you 🙏🏻 😊 ❤️
