The food and drinks are nice. The place is friendly and well spaced out. We recommend checking it out!

Review for ONLY the Central Bakery on 1st/Main St in Hillsboro. The coffee cake was from yesterday and hard sides not soft, clearly left over night. The pecan pull apart were tiny, burnt, and didn’t resemble what they should be like. This location didn’t used to be this bad, not sure what happened? Did they change manager, baker? Other Central Bakery locations are excellent.

I love Grand Central, unfortunately not the Hillsboro location. I had a simple online order, just some sliced bread. Typically in the past, customer service employees would earn a tip based on quality of service rendered, but here (and almost everywhere), I tipped beforehand when I paid for the bread, because they make it impossible to NOT tip when purchasing online. I got to the bakery and I see my order sitting there on the rack, ready to go. The place is so understaffed, the one single (very angry) employee is too busy to hand it over. I pointed at my paper bag on the rack and she doesn’t want to hear it. She said she’d be with me “in a bit”. I just feel like an added burden standing there waiting for my bread sitting 15 feet away. Now, what was the point of ordering ahead? To alleviate the pressure, I left and came back later hoping someone was available to give me my bread. I had some pity on the overwhelmed employee, but this, in principle, is why I hate tipping before service. This was an awkward, unpleasant experience. In the future, I’ll go back to the Cedar Mill location.

I’m so excited for this new bakery in downtown Hillsboro! There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with 17 picnic benches outside, both covered and uncovered.
They have a great variety of breakfast items, available until noon.
All their sandwiches can be turned into salads as a bread-free option!
They have a wide selection of pastries and desserts.
They have lots of beautiful hard-crusted bread loaves!

I’m a huge fan of Grand Central and its impact on Hillsboro’s downtown. Great food and the staff is great. Leilani, for instance, takes it upon herself to ask and remember my name and it feels so good when I come in and she says hi!
I’ve noticed, though, that the staffing changes quite a bit at this location and I suspect this is from the corporate office–something seems off whenever staff isn’t stable in other words. As a local, this impacts my experience getting to know people who leave bc they feel unsupported by the corporate office. You’ve got good people–treat them as such and they make all the difference (yes, your scones are good, but your people are why I come back so much).

A tale of 2 breakfasts…
We were on our way here and someone just couldn’t wait so we stopped at a Wendy’s for a breakfast: egg and cheese biscuit sandwich and seasoned potatoes. Kid was still dissatisfied so tried some of the lifeless food. Plain, boring, even with a fresh cooked egg.
Contrast that with my egg and cheese bolo here – freshly butter grill roasted roll, tender egg, American cheese that had a little zing!
GCB also excels at bread making, we can barely keep a sour rye loaf a week in our house. If you see Como at Fred Meyer or Market of Choice or another store, give it a try. The nicest non-sourdough white bread I’ve had.
Many local restaurants work with GCB wholesale and I can see why.
This Cafe is nice with lots of indoor and outdoor seating, gender neutral and accessible restrooms and a wheelchair friendly height counter and pastry case. The parking lot is free but read the signs carefully as only part of it is. Downtown Hillsboro can have available free street parking too, subject to a busy courthouse or downtown events.

My first time stopping by any Grand Central bakery. The blueberry muffin was raw in the first bite. I’m someone who generally likes doughy and a bit underbaked so I was surprised to notice and be bothered by it. They don’t offer a white chocolate flavor, and when I ordered a mocha, she asked the barista for a latte, which is a silly and semantic thing to be grumpy about but I guess I could have ordered a latte add chocolate instead. That said, the atmosphere was typical and customer service was good, and the mocha was made quickly.

Was excited to try the food, but was disappointed. Ordered the French ham sandwich and the bread was so stale. I know that baguettes on the outside should be crisp with the inside being soft and airy but this was basically a crouton. For the price you pay it is not worth getting imo.

The first thing that I always take note is the customer service and this place didn’t have it. My wife and I were rushed twice. We weren’t greeted as we came in but everyone else that came in after us was greeted. I don’t like to say it’s because we were the only brown folks in there but everyone else got greeted with a smile and we only got the bare minimum. They didn’t have white chocolate mocha but that’s a me thing for not liking the coffee choices so far. The menu says what each item is but doesn’t show what is in the meal. If we have any allergies how will we know what to remove or sub for? The food was okay, we paid 33$ for a breakfast croissant, mocha, tuna melt and a juice from the fridge. Worth the price ? Not really but things are getting expensive anyways. Will I come here again ? I don’t think so. Disappointed that this was the experience I got the first time we came.
