Two Tarts Bakery

Two Tarts Bakery got their start in the Spring of 2007 at the Portland and Beaverton Farmer’s Market where two cookie loving sisters began selling their wares.   Their bite size cookies are no more than 2 inches in diameter,  the perfect size for popping in your mouth!  

Just over a year later they opened a retail establishment in the NW 23rd area of Portland at  2309 Kearney St., 503-312-9522.  They are closed on Monday but open Tuesday – Saturday 10:30 - 7 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The cookie menu changes on a regular basis rotating through 50 different recipes!

The day we visited we enjoyed a yummy lemon crumb bar, a L’il Mama which was like a homemade oreo,

…a S’mores cookie made with a yummy gingersnap, filled with homemade marshmellow and tipped in chocolate,

and a cream filled peanut butter sandwich cookie!  Yum!!  They were all lovely and delish!

The finishing details on the cookies are wonderful whether it be a  sprinkling of sea salt or  a drizzle of chocolate.

They don’t just pay attention to details with the baking at Two Tarts Bakery.  They have a special area set up for their bite size visitors too.

Not only do the cookies come in bite size but so do their little, tiny cute hot chocolate mugs!!

A baker’s dozen ($7.50) makes a perfect gift and they will even tie it up with a pretty bow for you.

So if you need some sweet treats for your sweetheart pay a visit to Two Tarts Bakery – you won’t be disappointed!
