One of the bakery's most famous offerings is the Ocean Roll, a hand-folded croissant dough filled with freshly ground cardamom, vanilla, and sugar, and if that doesn't sound like a comforting hug that you can eat, I don't know what does. It's a treat that embodies the bakery's attention to detail and commitment to quality. Their croissants, rustic and imperfect in the best way, have a unique character that's hard to find elsewhere.

For those who love a good banana bread, they deliver a version that's perfect for breakfast, an after-school snack, or a healthy dessert. It contains no raisins or nuts, making it a hit with purists.

And then there are the boiled sourdough bagels, available in flavors like cheese, poppy seed, and smoked salt. These bagels are unlike anything else you'll find in Oregon, offering a distinct taste and texture.

Chocolate lovers can't miss the Chocolate Bouchon. This dessert, similar to a brownie but denser and made with high-quality chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt, is a little piece of heaven.

For something truly unique, try the Cannelé, which is a lemon and almond custard with a hint of rum, baked in copper molds. It's a dessert that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.

Pair any of these treats with French press coffee or chai tea, and you're set for a perfect morning. The Sparrow Bakery is a fantastic spot to grab breakfast. Their bacon-breakfast sandwich, featuring a poached egg, bacon, avocado, and arugula aioli on a hand-rolled croissant, is a must-try. Another favorite is the Lox-Bagel, served with cured lox, red onion, cream cheese, and capers on a freshly boiled and baked bagel.
