There were so many options to pick from and truly I think there was something for everyone. I wish the people working would have taken the time to talk to us and ask us if we had been here and maybe provide suggestions but they were friendly. We choose to get a sample box which was expensive and way to much for the two of us but we took it home. The chocolate is creamy but not overly sweet. It was perfect with the non sweet dippers in my opinion but the brownies were to much for us. We look forward to coming back and trying more items.

I think that their dessert offerings should be enjoyed freshly prepared on-site for the best flavor, texture and temperature. Basically, I personally feel like some of the items don't travel all that well. But the packaging, presentation and taste were good. I just think it would have been even better if we had dined in. Also, I have no idea what my husband ordered but they reminded me of hand pies (think pop tart style) with various fillings.

I wanted to get another one to head home with but I have to wait for my next trip. Apparently, If i had more than one sua da, I won't be able to sleep for two days. It's worth it, but i'm too old not to sleep. lol

Arrived late afternoon on a Wednesday to find parking spaces available in the parking lot. While…read morethe shop entrance is actually located on the corner of the block, you can access it from the parking lot around back. The pastry case may seem small, but it is packed with flavor. It is a bit cluttered in the space. However, inside you will be greeted by the most beautifully crafted pastries of all shapes and colors. The craftsmanship of each pastry lends to a hand with utmost steadiness and preciseness. The also sell fantastic Japanese Soufflé Pancakes - they take time to make so plan for at least 30 minutes wait up to an hour on weekends. I picked out four of the pastries and the tiramisu. The pastries were all fresh and delightful in flavor. The lavender one was my absolute favorite - subtle yet flavorful. The tiramisu was a bit strong for me. Everything else was fantastic. Super super reasonable prices considering the quality.

Especially, since I have been to several places in the immediate vicinity. Across the street from San Francisco Mexican grocery store on Allen Blvd is Shedevr Dessert. It's a small bakery that looks like one should think a bakery looks like. Everything is on display and it all looks way too tempting. They specialize in Russian and European desserts and from what I saw and ate, it was all really good. Very fancy pieces of cake, pastries and macarons, mostly in the $3 to $8 range. I got a Russian pastry which had apricot jam wrapped in dough and covered in powdered sugar and I also got a strawberry cheesecake with a strawberry gel and a candied strawberry. Both were great and neither were overly sweet. They had many chocolate and coffee dessert options and they do serve coffee and tea as well. I was pretty happy and I'll gladly return for a chocolate dessert or two. As always support our local businesses and do stop by here. Enjoy.

If you like exotic flavors with that Hispanic flare, then this is the place. I was very happy to find out that my all-time favorite flavor Nuez (pecan) was one of those flavors. Very nutty and buttery as how I always expected this to be. A delightful treat to enjoy during these last hot days of summer but can still be enjoyable throughout the year. Eloté or corn is my 2nd best favorite along with Pistachio and Mint chip not too far behind. There are multiple friendly ladies behind the counter ready to help you and they have tons of other flavors. Just hard to pry myself off my current favorites. They also have other frozen treats as well as churros near the checkout counter. Parking is ample and it's easy to get in and out of the lot. You can even sit outside and enjoy your treat with a friend or family member. Overall I wished I had tried this much sooner but now that found a new place to enjoy a frozen treat, I will come more often.

Seated upstairs so felt bad the waitress had to go up and down many many times. The empanadas were awful. I am being extremely honest. It seemed as if they were pre frozen and lacked flavor and filling. We were so surprised at the quality and price. I also had the shnitzel and it had no seasoning and was so bland. With a sad excuse for chimichurri. That seemed haphazardly put together, again lacking any flavor. Was it an off day based on the amount of people raving? Maybe. But also maybe they aren't aware of the better options in Portland so lack the awareness of true potential in this cuisine. I recommend Lechón if you want real chimichurri and empanadas.
