Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain Store & Restaurant

My daughter told me I would love this store and she was 100% correct!So much to look at on the shelves of Bob's store. Every manner of grain, pancake, cake mix, and more. There were lovely mugs made by local potters and various honeys and teas.The other REALLY cool thing about this store was the restaurant. We sampled the meatballs with quinoa (of course), large and fresh cookies and bread, side salads, and homemade soups.I honestly wished I lived closer, there were Bob's products here like cake mix, an almond flour pancake mix, and Teff flour that I have not been able to find at home, but could not see returning across the country with a 5lb bag of flour in my suitcase. Oh well!

So glad I got the "chicken" and waffles so that I could throw it directly in the trash and save someone else from eating it. Horrible. Soggy, no seasoning. Coffee empty the whole time.Service good - they were nice about the chicken. Grain based food items on point. This is a great cafe/shop but horrible "restaurant".

OK. So I have a love hate relationship with traveling and discovering gems like this..I'm not home so I can't buy too much to take back with me. Lucky for me though I am rather familiar with where to get Bob's products in Chicago so it's just a question of trekking to Whole Foods or Big Lots.But here- it's AMAZING. After years of visiting Portland and driving by it so many times, I finally went in.First, they have a cafe! My coworker and I each snacked on scones while he enjoyed a latte and I enjoyed an Arnold Palmer. We sat outside near nature and caught up on all the things. Other people had full meals (breakfast or lunch) that seamed hearty in portion. Will definitely need to come back for those items.Then we went inside to shop. They have EVERY flour imaginable. My coworker got rice flour to make mochi. I picked up almond flour in the refrigerator section for my aunt. Will definitely come back. So many things including kitchen and giftware on top of the pleathura of baking supplies/ingredients. Place is super clean. Staff is friendly. Prices are solid.

The store is meticulously stocked and orderly with all of the Bob's products available. Some not seen in stores. There is a cafe/restaurant inside as well. Have had a sandwich there which I found ok but not remarkable.

I have to do this in two parts. The store:This place is amazing, great grains, wonderful options, kitschy things, pies, beans, dried fruits, and even teas. Prices were great on the grains so we will definitely be back. The restaurant: First warning, the cashier was angry, I don't know at what but she was and it showed. Second warning, there were short dark hairs in my husband's food, his hair is blonde. Third warning, no seasoning, almost no salt, and very little anything else. I had the hash brown casserole, it was sad, plain, old, barely warm, so really a solid block. My husband's food was the chicken and waffles, the chicken breading had sloughed in many places, I honestly couldn't tell it was chicken by taste, so again very little salt. The soda machine was wonky so the soda coming out was mostly carbonation and no syrup. All in all a disappointment, we will be back for the store, but the anger in the cashier seemed to translate to the food.

First time here and we stopped in for lunch. Both sandwiches were filling and we got the cold tea. We were advised it would be a 30minute wait but it took closer to 40minutes.You get a buzzer to let you know when the food is ready. There is plenty of seating upstairs and outside. Downstairs is the store where you can purchase from the bulk bins. They had a variety of unique sodas (see Stubborn pic).Will return when in the neighborhood.

This is a great stop. So many options from per item to cases and bulk.Everything you can imagine from a mill is here.We stocked up on many items.Good organic selection too.The restaurant is where the rating fell.I feel the food could be slightly better.It was good but it did feel as though they made each plate as you would the ingredients at home. I'd give the store 5 and the restaurant 4.Indoor seating upstairs and downstairs with outdoor seating also available.Both were good experience and we enjoyed them both.

Bobs mill store and restaurant. I was really excited about going here, and it paid off and was also sad. I have two different reviews, the restaurant and the store.The store was amazing five full stars for the store, as a baker. I can't wait to go back and get some of their flours. They have some interesting cooking things, and we may buy our kitchen towels there for the rest of our lives so for the store it's truly worth going to see. The store was neat and clean, and everything was easy to find and well organized.Restaurant was awful. Two employees angry at the counter, like really angry. the food was bland and not well put together, so bland. It didn't really taste like anything. By the time we got it it was room temperature and I had chicken and waffles. I got about two bites in until I found the black hairs sitting on the plate. I'll be going back to Bob's, but I'm going to eat before I get there .

You can buy items from the bulk section in here, but also do it zero waste by bringing in your own containers! Their prices in the bulk section are generally lower than what you would find in your average food co-op, and even though they cannot guarantee that items maintain gluten-free status in the bulk section, there is a whole row of just gluten-free items so I generally feel safe purchasing from there. Staff are very friendly and knowledgable. You can also get discounted product that is close to sell by date or otherwise unsellable by using the Too Good To Go app. Lunchtime and weekends seem to be pretty busy with the store also being a cafe and tourist attraction, so aim to go on weekdays if possible!

It was a nice surprise to see this place was nearby our hotel in Clackamas because I love Bob's Red Mill products. Even though the parking lot was full, the place had a lot of people, but it wasn't overwhelming. The store is a great spot for any home cook, and I would go here regularly if I lived in the area. The store is neatly organized with different aisles for gluten free options, baking, and bulk items. It also includes a restaurant that appears to get pretty busy with dining tables on both levels.I ordered the Whole Grain Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich (3.5 stars). The biscuit was a bit crumbly and soft, but it was not dry. I liked how the egg was cooked with a slice of Tillamook cheddar cheese and crispy bacon. Even though the biscuit isn't as good as Pine State Biscuits, the sandwich was simple yet satisfying. The side of fruit (4 stars) was good as every piece was ripe and refreshing. I also ordered a side of gravy (1 star), and it was so bland. The Homestyle Potatoes (4 stars) were delicious. My husband had the Vegan Pancakes (3.5 stars), which you can also request to be wheat free too. The texture was fluffy, which isn't easy to achieve. After I placed my order, I was told it would take 20 minutes. They handed out a pager so you can browse the store without missing your order. Even though I didn't buy anything from the store, I saw various Bob's Red Mill products that are not usually in my local grocery store. Overall, it's a cool spot with 4 star service, and I'm glad I found it through Yelp.
