Employees were helpful, not necessarily friendly. You e got a good array of vegan options. I believe all Made with coconut milk, so if you're not a fan of coconut, this might not be your vegan ice cream spot. I tried the sea salt caramel with chocolate chips, which was vegan. It was good, but the coconut stood out quite a bit (I do like coconut). I ended up with one of the 4 grass-fed dairy options, all the good things, which had caramel ice cream, chocolate swirl and fudge and peanut butter chips. It was good. I had it in a waffle cone for $2 more, bringing my half scoop and cone to $5, I believe. The waffle cone was yummy. I wouldn't say the ice cream was anything more special than you can get in your freezer, but nice to have an option out if you're plant-based. Sorry I forgot to take a photo of the ice cream.

It's very cold right now at 40 degrees. We are walking around the Pearl District and stumbled upon…read moreCosmic Bliss. Mind you, this is an ice cream shop! I couldn't resist venturing inside. We ended up talking to a very nice and informative employee, who informed me of the different kinds of ice cream (plant base or grass fed dairy). I selected with the employee's suggestion, All the Good Things and Twisted Cookie Dough. All the Good Things was the special of the week. We paid $5.75 for two big scoops! What a deal. The ice cream was flavorful, creamy and not too sweet. Would I recommend coming by here? Absolutely YELP Yes! Great service here 5/5 stars Food: Premium Ice cream 5/5 stars Value: awesomeness Ambiance: a little noisy due to the little kiddos playing. 3.5/5 stars

I've visited a number of Salt & Straw locations across the US and this location maintains the high…read morequality, service and creativity standard shared by the other locations. I stopped by at 4:00 p.m. on a Wednesday afternoon and the store was relatively empty. The staff at this location was super friendly and showed no hesitation when I asked to try out a few flavors off of their monthly specials menu. For the month of July, Salt & Straw has a summer pies series with tasty flavors like "peaches and cream galette" and "gruyere and tomato custard tart". Between their monthly specials menu and their classics, I'm pretty confident even the pickiest of guests will find something off the menu that they'll find novel and be able to enjoy. In terms of seating, this location features two long benches next to the shop's front windows. Since it was a beautiful day outside on the day we stopped by, the windows were fully opened up to the busy streets, making it a perfect spot to people watch while enjoying ice cream. If you're looking for a sweet treat in this part of town, Salt & Straw is the place to go.

Damn. Now I understand why Salt & Straw has the following that it does. This is no regular ice…read morecream shop, but instead a round of flavors that hit nostalgia and unique creations. We must've had some good karma because when we walked in there was only about 8 people in front of us! I was really surprised in how attentive they were once it was our turn. It was nice to not feel rushed and rather everyone in line also understood that as well. I believe it's because everyone knew that they would have their turn. They encourage you to explore all their flavors and to not feel guilty about trying a wide variety of their menu. My group all ended up with different flavors and we were all super happy. I went with a lavendar-based flavor and a sea salt caramel in a homemade waffle cone. I highly recommend coming to tcheck them out.

When we stopped in, several flavors weren't available and those that were, were hit or miss on texture with some being almost inedibly runny. The frozen flavors were delicious, albeit being limited, and they had a reasonable selection of toppings. The shop was middle of the road on cleanliness and they no longer offer samples, which was disappointing, but the staff were friendly and attentive which was positive. I'd prob lean 3.5 stars. I admittedly miss the old tartberry but am glad they're still around for those nostalgic froyo outings.

It was a great way to start my morning with a delicious Bacon Maple Bar and Old Dirty Bastard. Lots of flavors and textures just like I remembered. Notes: This location was a block from my hotel so very convenient to walk to. Small shop with no seating but you can eat outside on their wooden bar ledge. I ended up walking to the park to enjoy. Worker was welcoming, friendly, and helpful.

The iconic Voodoo Doughnut! This famous doughnut location was a must visit for me when visiting…read morePortland. Do I recommend visiting it? Well... yes! First of all, you have to know it's in a sketchy part of town that doesn't feel very safe. I would recommend parking as close to Voodoo as you possible can. It's not easy as the location is in an area that doesn't feature much parking. Thankfully, Voodoo employs a security guard to monitor who goes into the doughnut shop, so I guess it adds a little feeling of safety. On our visit, only one party was allowed in at a time to the lobby area of the shop. Before going in you have to cue up in line outside. We went on a random weekday at around 8:30pm and had to wait about 20 minutes to get in. The interior of voodoo is very unique and interesting. When inside you can see all their doughnut offerings. The doughnuts are quite large and on the heavy/dense side. We ordered the Voodoo Dozen and it was a hefty box. To get a good sample of everything I think the Voodoo Dozen is a good way to go. It samples a number of famous donuts. I surprising found the grape donut to be one of my favorites. I suppose if you like grape flavored things this bought also be a doughnut for you! Overall the donuts are good, but I wouldn't call them top of the line. They are a bit over-sweet and they are not delicate. They are, however, very novel and a lot of fun. They make great conversation pieces and will definitely kill your hunger. I really enjoyed my visit to Voodoo and probably would go again!

The drinks aren't great but live music makes up for it:) Had to give 4 stars because of the good things but wanted to give 3 based on how I felt when I left- anxious and annoyed. I felt rushed from the moment I sat down and they gave me what felt like no time to enjoy my dessert as they cleared the entire room, turned on the lights, and started closing before their listed closing time. I had to scarf down my dessert and couldn't enjoy it. If you want to leave at a certain time, cut off your service earlier. It's not fair for me to come in thinking I am getting a full experience. I never want to be the last person but how am I supposed to know I'd feel like this coming in the last hour of a late night place on a Friday night? Come early if you're gonna try this spot

We waited about 20 min to get seated, which was alright, but then after being seated we waited another 20 minutes and decided to leave because no one had attempted to acknowledge our table. To be fair, it was during a busy time, but we had to decide to cut our losses rather than waiting around for someone to talk to our table. No idea how the food is, we left before we could order any.
