Home Baking

Really great bakery with lots of pastries. Bought an assortment and totally enjoyed all. Will have to try the breads next time. I would, personally, have preferred Bing cherries instead of the ones used (maraschino type).

Best bakery for the money anywhere I’ve been. Christian values abide there. The reason I stopped was because of the Christian signs in the window (and I needed a chocolate nutty twist!). The coffee could be stronger, but it worked. I’ll be back.

Astoria, you are a lucky town. You are home to some of the very best of everything — vistas and views, restaurants and delis, downtown and shopping. And you are home to The Home Baking Company. This tradition in our family to stop and peruse, purchase and enjoy the best baked goods (in my opinion) lies in this quaint little bakery just on the outskirts of town. Historical and festive its a stroll back in time when we walk thru the doors. I love how you can forget the stress, the chaos of present day when you enter into this wonderland of all things bakery. The staff are friendly and polite. Ask for a sample and they oblige; answer your questions and offer up light banter. It’s not fancy at all — it’s family — it’s friendly — it’s homey. It never fails that we stop here later in the day when most of the bins are empty and there’s just a memory of what once was — something freshly baked in the hours while the rest of us were sleeping. I always grab a loaf of bread, two or three doughnuts, a selection of cookies and of course the Astoria Cinnamon Toast. You must have the famous Astoria Cinnamon Toast — crunchy, cinnamony and oh so heavenly.
So one day we visit and I’m chatting with the staff and tell them how I’ve opened a bakery and I’m looking to get advice from friendly accommodating bakers — not to steal their recipes but to find out how to make it all work. And you know what happened next — they invited me to take a short tour of their kitchen as they’ve stopped production for the day. It was enormous. I was flabbergasted but more so I was impressed. They didn’t have to do that — they could have just told me but to see it was amazing. You see friendly service is all I need to keep me happy as a clam. I’m not expecting the world — but Home Baking Company opened their doors to share with me and I’m a fan forever.
Next time we visit I assure you I’ll pick up those things I mentioned already and a pie is order perhaps a cake but whatever it is it’ll be flavorful, handmade and just perfect for me and my family. Take good care of them, Astoria, as they have done right by you.

Great bakery. Picked up a few ½ price items, including marionberry pie. Yummy. Cinnamon toast is like no other.

This is strictly for the cake I ordered– chocolate with a buttercream filling. The crumb on the cake was dry and crumbly. Like it was baked and sat out to dry all day. It certainly wasn’t moist. The buttercream «filling» wasn’t even a pencil mark wide so it had no flavor. This was a sheet cake, however, that shouldn’t have mattered. And the cake was lop– sided, one inch on one side, two on the other. This isn’t the Home Bakery I remember when my kids were little. I was very disappointed. Although our granddaughter enjoyed her birthday cake. Smashing the cake and mixing ice cream in it while singing «Happy Birthday».

This is the best bakery that you will find in Astoria Oregon they have giant cream puffs and donuts. They also have pies, muffins, cookies and other sweet treats. The owners are friendly and they will treat you like family.

Every time I visit relatives in Warrenton, I try and visit the bakery. It is worth the 10 mile drive for the goods. The danish are true danish and not just the stuff passed off in grocery stores. The breads are also excellent, as are the cookies. If i have any complaint, the doughnuts are a bit week. The place is very casual and the service is courteous and prompt. The prices are excellent given the quality of the food.

Great service and amazingly accommodating! After having a bad experience trying to order a cake at Danish Maid I called Home Bakery. He was so friendly and helpful. My request was not something he could handle, but the way he explained it and offered some very workable solutions, I felt like a very valued customer. This is my first choice in bakeries from now on!

I have been frequenting Home Bakery for many years. They specialize in Finnish and Scandinavian goodies. Their Finn Biscuit (pulla) is wonderful. The prune tarts are a must and don’t forget the rye bread and fattimand cookies. The cinnamon toast is addictive and I love their coffee rings, pies and cardamom rolls. This place is a must try.

Awesome cinnamon toast and for cheap! They’ve been doing it since 1910 so they can’t be wrong! It’s amazing how they can still sell them for so cheap! In fact, everything in this bakery is cheap and very delicious. We only tried a few other things that I couldn’t remember. It was later in the day and a lot of the goods were already sold out. But they were delicious! We munched on the cinnamon toast all the way back to Forest Grove. If you visit their website, you can order the cinnamon toast and get it shipped to you for free! Yay! It’s easy to find right on Marine Dr. You can just pull over and run in. Check this place out if you’re in town. You won’t regret it!

I stopped in for a cheap treat and found a 95 cent plum turnover. They have cookies, pastries, and lots of bread choices for really reasonable prices. The turnover was good and so was the service. This place is located east of town.

I stopped upon this place while walking through «downtown» Astoria. I found they SUPER inexpensive bakery items. It’s homemade and has an old time feel. LOVE their apple turnovers. Yum yum. I’m not sure that they accept credit card, especially because everything is so inexpensive, so bring cash just in case.

A good little find for cheap and good baked goods. Cookies were 30 cents a piece. Worth the stop if you’re traveling through on 30, heck it’s even worth going out of your way. Think of all the money you’ll save on 30 cent cookies.

Cinnamon Toast is terrific, also pick up some Skipanon Brand canned tuna and salmon, here.
Nice people, home town standard.

Sugar frosted goodies galore, and some bread, plus coffee and tea. The clientele made the place, with stories of someone’s new lover who gave him wedgies every night. Everyone in the place listened to the story, laughed, then everyone gave us advice on what to see in town. A smalltown original spot.
