Franz Bakery Outlet — Restaurant in Portland

I would love to give the Franz Bakery Outlet 5 stars. The prices are okay, but along the back wall is where the deals are. It's usually an assortment of bread, doughnuts, cookies, and specialty breads that have expired that day. So when you buy off the back wall, you'll never get stale items. The reason for only 3 stars is because of their employee Donna, who was working February 25th at 1:45 pm, and she's worked many times when I've shopped there on other weekday afternoons. She's rude, and she always treats me like I'm an idiot. Like today, I went in to grab some cherry pies, but they were out. I said something like, " Man, those cherry pies are popular. I was in here yesterday, and I should have bought more. Donna told me very condescendingly that the pies were gone yesterday, so I said it must have been the day before. She rudely told me it was Saturday because she remembered me. But it was the way she was looking at me when she said it. Like I was dumb or stupid because I couldn't remember what day I'd been in the store. I was just diagnosed with ADHD at 46 years old. Plus, I've always had problems with my memory. This employee Donna didn't say, "Thank you, and have a nice day." To me, but she sure did say it to each person in a group of 4 tĥat made a purchase after me. I really don't know what I did to Donna that made her dislike me so much. I really hope that Franz's HR Department has a little one-on-one with her. She doesn't deserve...

With the outlet store being directly across the street from the bakery you can't find fresher bread. They always have wonderful prices about half the price of in the grocery stores. And with every $5 you spend you get a free bread product from their daily rack. I've been going to this location for about 30 years now. I've went to other locations and I like them just as well. If you've never been to Franz bakery outlet you should give it a try. If you like to save money and enjoy fresh bakery products give them a try. The staff there is always extremely nice and helpful. Update i went today 11/25/20. They have lots of everything their shells are fully stocked. their back room was very full of their discounted bread. the five for $5 most of those the pole date was December 2nd. they still have bags of fresh potato rolls. But they are closed on Thanksgiving. And they will be closed on Christmas as well. They still have lots of they're great Franz logo t-shirts for sale. I have bought several of these in the past and they wash up very well. they are very soft and comfortable. I bought these for my kids is Christmas pajamas this year and last year. They had for designs to choose from today. Updated on 3-4-22. They still have all the great deals. The fruit pies are back!! Lots of great fresh breads. My favorite is...

All the Franz's faves, all super fresh, because it's on the same lot as the Bakery itself, and that's not my reason for going. I go because of how much cheaper my favorite Franz foods are! Mmm Breakfast Claws? $ave $3! OMG those cookies in the pink bag? $ave $2! That super fresh Buttermilk bread - sometimes it's free because of the specials ( spend $5 get something off the rack FREE or something like that). AND THEN YOU GET TO THE REGISTER ❤ Customer service says so much more than they hired a good one. It says how the company cares for their customers, the pride in the company dhows, but moreso if represents how the company feels about it's own employees. Example: I stopped by for a couple snacks the other day and that cashier was genuinely caring and helpful. I felt like it was my favorite auntie packing me a lunch before an important day. She even made sure I had a spoon just in case I got hungry before getting to where I was going, and put an extra spoon- because ambrosia wont taste right on a potatoe salad spoon! And SHE reminded ME that I spent enough for a free item! When building a community, food is the glue....
