flour, science, hands & heart’
Little T American Baker is a modern neighborhood bakery in Portland, Oregon. Founded by owner and head baker Tim Healea, Little T Baker is guided by four elements: “flour, science, hands and heart.” With these, Little T Baker brings together everything necessary for a high quality bakery–the best ingredients from as many local Oregon growers and purveyors as possible; knowledge of the fermentation process and baking science; a mastery of hand-shaping skills; and a love and passion for baking. Specializing in creating innovative breads and pastries while still using traditional, time-honored methods, Little T Baker has been a neighborhood favorite since opening its first location in 2008. Little T Division is the flagship store and production bakery, with large windows looking out onto SE Division, Portland’s most vibrant foodie street, whereas Little T Union Way in Portland’s up-and-coming West End offers a slice of the bakery’s selection of bread, pastry and grab-and-go sandwiches.
