The Baker's Mark is a sandwich restaurant in Portland, Oregon, United States. The original location is in southeast Portland and an outpost operates in northwest Portland's Pearl District.

Description

[edit]

The Baker's Mark operates two sandwich shops in Portland, Oregon. The original shop operates on Division Street in southeast Portland's Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood and an outpost is at the intersection of 10th and Everett in northwest Portland's Pearl District.[1][2] Portland Monthly has described the business as a"blue-collar sandwich operation with a small but steady following".[3]

Sandwich options include a meatball sub,[2] French dip, ham and cheese, and a BLT with turkey. The Godfather has prosciutto, salami, capicola, ham, mortadella, and provolone.[4][5] The business bakes its own bread as well as cookies.[6]
