The Heart of St. Honoré

St. Honoré Bakery is a slice of French heritage nestled in the heart of Portland, where the smell of toasted flour and wild yeast is our daily greeting. Founded by a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, we are a neighborhood cornerstone dedicated to the patient, hand-crafted traditions of the artisan boulangerie. Our goal is to share the authentic flavors and textures of France with our community, honoring the craftsmanship that turns simple ingredients into something extraordinary.

• Schedule: Full-time, static schedule (typically 1:00 AM – 9:30 AM, 4:00 AM, or 11:00 AM).
• Time Off: Paid Time Off (PTO) provided in line with Oregon’s sick pay mandate.
• Future Planning: Access to the OregonSaves retirement program.

The Heart of our Neighborhood

We are looking for a dedicated baker to join our team and help us maintain the high standards and french quality that our regulars have come to love.

Why You’ll Love it Here

If you’re the kind of person who has a named sourdough starter bubbling on your kitchen counter at home, you’ve found your people. You will work in an environment that prizes technical precision and French tradition, but swaps "militant" kitchen vibes for a warm, collaborative atmosphere where "geeking out" over dough development is encouraged.

The Daily Craft

• Feed the Soul: Scale and prepare ingredients according to time-honored French artisan recipes.
• The Human Touch: Shape every loaf by hand with high attention to detail—consistency is our love language.
• Master the Heat: Calibrate and manage deck ovens to ensure the perfect bake, color, and "grigne."
• The Science of Bubbles: Monitor fermentation and/or proofing stages to ensure optimal flavor development.
• Pristine Workspace: Maintain a clean, organized station and handle professional equipment with respect.
• Team Synergy: Work side-by-side with fellow bakers to hit daily production targets while sharing the craft.

What You Bring

• The Baker’s Intuition: You have a background in mixing and shaping; professional experience is wonderful, but a serious home-baking obsession is highly valued.
• Early Bird Energy: You thrive in the quiet magic of the early morning (starts at 1:00 AM, 4:00 AM, or 11 00 AM) and don’t mind a schedule that includes weekends.
• Physical Stamina: You are comfortable standing for a full shift and can reliably lift 50 lbs (those flour bags are no joke!).
• Local Compliance: You have (or can obtain) a valid Oregon Food Handler Card by the first day of work and have reliable transportation for those early starts (Trimet line 35).

THEN Qualified individuals will be invited to a 20–30 minute introductory video interview to talk shop and culture. The top candidates will be invited to the bakery for an in-person interview to see the space and meet the team.

We at St. Honoré Bakery believe that our business success results from our employees’ successes. As a result, we emphasize teamwork, and support group decision-making. Compassion, consideration, respect, loyalty, and honesty are all key elements to building a successful team.
St. Honoré Bakery employees understand that putting their best efforts into every aspect of their jobs is a highly valued part of our overall success.

St. Honoré Bakery structures its environment to maximize employee creativity. We maintain a professional but casual atmosphere, and encourage the sharing of ideas and experiences to create not only better products and business practices, but also a better work environment.
