Tried Pink Spoon in Forest Grove and honestly--yeah, I'd take it over Menchie's…read more The froyo tastes fresher, the toppings feel higher quality, and everything just has a more local, less "chain store" vibe. It's self-serve, but it doesn't feel chaotic or watered down like some bigger frozen yogurt spots can. Prices aren't crazy, and the place is clean with a solid community feel. If you're comparing it to Menchie's, this one just feels more real and a little more worth it overall.

Shoutout to The Pink Spoon -- had to leave a review after that visit…read more Destiny absolutely slaved away on my milkshake for a solid 5 minutes stacking it with add-ins like a pro. You could tell she actually cared about getting it right, not just rushing it out. Handed it to my wife and after one sip she just goes, "it's dang good." Hard to argue with that. Great service, great shake -- we'll be back.

We stopped here a couple times on our recent trip to the area. The Zesti Food Carts area is a great…read moreidea and very well done in a lovely space. There is plenty of parking and you have so many choices. It's not always easy to get everyone to agree on what they want and they have many food carts and drink options to choose from. There are also a variety of seating options. It was quite warm when I was there and more shaded areas would have been nice. The bathrooms are also in great need of improvement. I would still recommend a stop here, especially to relax and catch up with friends or if you want to go out but you're not sure what you want or just feel like keeping your options open.

Overall a good experience! It was a little odd that we were there before 8 pm on a Saturday and so…read moremany carts were closed or getting ready to close up. Everyone we spoke with was friendly and I loved how clean and pretty the grounds are with lots of vegetation, games, ample seating options, and good lighting! We tried food from the Turkish and Mexican trucks, and I forgot to get food photos. The Turkish truck was our least favorite, the kofta had pink in the middle, the tzatziki could have used more garlic, and the hummus was a very thin consistency. Overall not an ideal experience but the rice was delicious, the pita was possibly the best pita I've ever had, and the owners/workers were incredibly kind. The Mexican truck was better, but there were a couple mix ups with our food. The owner/server working that truck was kind, but did not speak/understand English well, which led to some mixups. I have no problem with this, it's not meant to be derogatory in any way, it just caused some difficulty with ordering / making medications to our order (and unfortunately we're not fluent in Spanish, so we couldn't make up the middle ground in the communication issues). Our enchiladas were ordered with verde sauce, came out with red sauce and the burrito we ordered and added beans to the inside did not have beans on the inside; additionally, we almost didn't get our drink until we asked for it. They definitely seem to be a work in progress still and the only restrooms are upgraded outdoor porta-potty's (but think elevated) but don't seem to be accessible as there's a step up. I can appreciate the vision and we'll definitely be back as they continue to upgrade. The only other thing I've seen complaints about is parking; there was no event that night at any of the venues, so we had ample parking, and I could see several parking options as well as lots of street parking in the surrounding areas. This must be something they've improved upon, but it had better parking than almost any other pods in Beaverton or Portland.

They have an amazing mushroom melt that I dream of regularly. Their focus is on local produce and it shows. Very unique offerings with a Latin/Hispanic twist. I've seen them showcasing at the farmers market, at Helvetia farms, and now they run the food program at a newly named food hall in Forest Grove, aptly called Forage Grove. They had a dining month special that was a tamale plate but boy this tamale was something! Easily something I would have found at a high end restaurant. Beautifully plated too. Delicious! Keep growing, and continue your focus on fresh and local. We need places like yours!

Waltz Brewing was one of those breweries and it was a really good experience! We loved how the taproom was set up and like the garage chic type of atmosphere that was going on there. The brewery mostly had guest taps but there werena few beers of their own that they had. I got their Multitudes With Blueberries which was a Wild Ale. A type of ale I wish I'd come across more often. Flavor features with this beer are fruity, sweet, a little sour and of course the presence of a Blueberry flavor. The beer was nice and light bodied which as I have said before at this point in time really appreciate to have more often.
