The drinks (iced tea/cold brew/hot coffee/tea) are premade and I would say are above average. The pastries we had were unbelievable! Flakey, buttery croissants with simple but punchy flavors.

After having some of the bread prior to our meals at a few restaurants, we found out the bread is locally sourced at a sister business right around the corner from where ate the night before. There is parking avail for customers in the lot for 30 mins, we prob waited about 20 mins and crossed the threshold into baked goods heaven. There was so much to select from - we got pastries, cookies, pizza and bread - and we pretty much liked everything. Our least favorite was the morning bun with walnuts - we didn't have it right away so that might've been part of the issue. Just note that the bread served at the restaurants aren't available until 2pm - we were leaving that morning so we weren't going wait for it. We opted for other loaves instead and they didn't disappoint. If you want something yummy and fresh - make sure to stop by here before heading out of Portland. I do wish the setup was a bit more conducive to the big crowds as there isn't much space from the front door to the counter but still a fantastic find!

Since 1950's The strawberry cake donut was my favorite by far. Excellent flavor, great texture, and worth going out of your way for. The blueberry cake was excellent too, and the sugar-raised met my admittedly particular donut standards. My only critique? These donuts are huge. Almost unnecessarily huge. I'd actually prefer them a little smaller, which is not something I normally say about donuts. But despite their size, they're surprisingly light and airy. I walked away not feeling overly full, but somehow still thinking, "I could eat one more." That feels like the correct outcome. Wonderful people, great donuts, and a charming little spot that feels like it belongs exactly where it is. The Cookie Jar. Come hungry. Leave contemplating another donut.

I…read morehave seen stuff about their cakes through social media and they looked good, just never made our way here. That changed after seeing their limited time Biscoff Cookie Butter flavored cake. My wife and I really wanted to try this flavor. Located in the busy Scarborough Walmart plaza area. Located right next to Jersey Mike's with plenty of parking nearby. Walking inside you will instantly have your eyes catching all of the delicious looking Bundt cakes staring back. They have a huge variety of flavors available including the Biscoff speciality and another limited flavor "New-Fashioned Marble". Due to wanting to try both of the limited flavors we decided to grab one of each of their smaller sized cakes aptly named Bundtlets. The staff member was friendly and it took no time to receive the cakes. Gladly we were able to enjoy the cakes once we got home and they were great! Both cakes were excellently made and the smaller sized ones were perfect to enjoy with no leftovers. The frostings used leaned quite sweet so for larger cakes it maybe would have been too much. They are limited flavors but if either one sounds tempting to you make your way here before they go away! Look forward to returning in the future to try out more flavors. Worth giving a try!

A few years ago, Jessica Parrott baked out of her home off Forest Ave. I heard about her through…read morethe grapevine when planning our wedding and gave her a call. She was absolutely lovely to work with! Very responsive to emails and phone calls, and super flexible and helpful with pairing flavors for us. She made a variety of mini-cupcakes and frostings for our tasting and each were delicious--even the margarita cake! As someone who does not like chocolate, I would have eaten the chocolate ganache frosting with gusto. We ended up choosing traditional flavors: red velvet with cream cheese frosting for the bottom (12") and top (6") tiers as well as vanilla with chocolate ganache for the middle (8"). We had just shy of 60 guests at our wedding and were able to take the entire top tier home. She understood the type of design we wanted for our cake (very simple and clean, which required the use of fondant). Our guests enjoyed the taste, though they thought it was "a bit sweet" (probably due to the fondant). The style was what was in my head but not executed as cleanly as I would have liked--in the days before Pinterest, brides didn't have 1,000 images to show their baker, after all--but I was still happy with the price, taste, and service and would recommend her to friends. I'm pleased to see that she now has her own storefront. I have yet to visit, but plan to rectify that soon.

The buttercream to cake ratio was way off, and the frosting was sickly sweet, the frosting layers were thicker than the cake! And, the cake was wicked dense.

The overall look of the cake wasn't exactly what I ordered (A vintage look with different colors of caramel and browns to decorate) and it was all the same color.
