Recommended to Call in advance for big orders. All reasonably priced and well packaged. Lori was very helpful and if you buy bulk you can receive a small discount. She even offered to take my cakes to my car. Very sweet. thank you! It was a pleasant walkin first visit. :) Everyone enjoyed all of the sweets and we didn't have any leftovers! I will be sure to come back for a sweet treat! Keep doing what you're doing! No bags available for large orders. Might be a good idea to keep a Costco size box in your car to hold your. Minimal Street parking. No real place to dine in but always nice to enjoy them at home! Open m-f only.

After Afuri, we stopped by here to get some cheesecake to go…read more We chose the Classic Vanilla and Marionberry Cheesecake. Marionberry is a type of blackberry so it's on the tart side. Both were really delicious! I preferred the Marionberry because I love tart desserts, and the bf preferred the classic. Some of the best cheesecakes I've had. I love supporting small family shops! If you love cheesecake and other baked goods, definitely come here to try them!

I went when it was their 1 year anniversary/birthday! I decided to be one of the early birds to…read morewait in line :) Anyways, super happy that they're successful and creating a variety of delicious sweets! Below are the goodies that I bought and gifted for being the top 20 customers in line. What I bought: 1. Bunny pudding: SO CUTE! I've seen this trend everywhere and am so glad that they have their own version. It was adorable. For $6.50 I was a bit skeptical because I thought it would be cheaper. However, it was too cute! It was good. Subtle in flavor but the texture was nice. It was thick pudding. I think it took me 2 days to nibble on it with my mom so we could enjoy it. The jam with it WAS AMAZING! I loved the slight tartness to it. The only thing was that the jam was red and it was behind the bunny so it looked...yes...you can be creative there haha. 2. Salted egg yolk cookie. Love salted egg anything and was surprise to see this as a cookie! Love the Asian flavors! It was lovely. It also had a little bit of a leaf on it and it created a little curry flavor taste. I don't know what it is but combined with the salted egg, delicious. It was my first time trying a more savory cookie. Gifted: They also gave me a salted egg yolk cookie which was great, I got 2 haha. 1. Chocolate macaron. I don't really like macarons because they're usually too sweet. However! This was good. Not too sweet and the chocolate flavor was present. It was a good size and it was super cute 2. Matcha macadamia nut cookie. I've had this one before, still good! 3. Brownie chocolate cookie. THIS WAS MASSIVE! Huge~! And yet, still chewy, fudgy, and full of chocolate. Yum! If you're a chocolate lover like me, you'll like this! I will drop by again in the near future!

When my usual bakery closed permanently in Portland, this gem came on my radar. Unbelievable that…read morethis little store is just a few minutes drive from my parents' home. I was on the look out for some delicious cake. Unique flavors and beautiful decorations just happened to be a perk. Minh, the owner, the matter how busy it gets, is always so personable and enthusiastic. She brought two visions for two of my daughters' birthday themes to life within a reasonable range. One was a Mermaid birthday and the other Avatar themed. Both times we picked a pandan cake layered with pandan buttercream. Wow the structure held up very well after thawing out for a few hours. Cake was incredibly soft and moist without being too sweet. The Asian flavors mixed with a conventional American twist made for the perfect marriage. I really hope this bakery does well. It is such a treat to order cakes here. Will definitely have to try the durian or lychee next time.

Such a cute space to relax in! Feels like I stepped inside an Instagram reel. We tried a slice of…read moretheir pistachio raspberry cake and got 4 macarons to go. The cake was divine! Solid without being too dense, pieces of pistachio throughout the cake, with a thick raspberry frosting that wasn't overbearingly sweet. I would definitely buy again! Service was fast and friendly. You order at the counter. There's a water station with cutlery and napkins, and we bussed our own table. Would definitely return!

Stopped in to hear the free jazz concert that is given on some weekends. The musicians were…read morefabulous. The place gets pretty packed because who doesn't want a good pastry and coffee while listening to fantastic jazz. We were able to try the vanilla cream, puff and the cheesecake. I wish we didn't split the vanilla cream puff it was that good just have for yourself. The bakery is decorated really pretty and bright colors makes you feel like if you're in a Candyland. Stop by and try their desserts. They were so good. I forgot to take a picture.

Plain and simple this humble little bakery is the best in the Portland metro area. Ever since I was…read morea small child my family brought me here for doughnuts, cakes & pastries. The quality of their products is superb and Ive always had good experiences with the staff. They are usually quite busy so be mindful of that, but again this spot is top tier and also very cute. It's just a little brick building on 17th & Broadway, been there over 100 years, cannot recommend it enough

When my favorite bakery closed several years ago, I was faced with needing to find a new source of…read morebirthday cakes. I seem to be the birthday cake guy in my circle of friends... I firmly believe a birthday celebration isn't a celebration without a cake! Helen Bernhard Bakery has been a consistent source of last-minute birthday cakes when I need them. The greatest thing about this bakery is that there's almost always a few cakes in their case that are ready and available. Because I'm not super picky, a Frozen princess works for random occasions like my 48-year-old friend's birthday! But there are generally nondescript cakes available that can be personalized. Did you know Helen Bernhard Bakery is over 100 years old, and it's one of the first woman-owned businesses in Portland? There are many stories circulating about Helen's fiery personality, and her no-nonsense business tactics. I love celebrating the few remaining businesses that have roots going back to the early days of Portland. It's wonderful hearing stories from longtime customers, and learning about the positive impact these businesses have made in the community, and the sense of nostalgia many people have for them. It means a lot to me to live in a city that values history and tradition, as well as what's hot and new. Thanks, Helen Bernhard Bakery, for always being dependable, and having lots of great products that make celebrations and entertaining a breeze.

This is it. This is the dessert you've been looking for. To…read morestart off, I never review sweets. Just a taste thing, I know...I just never really had a sweet tooth. Every once in awhile, I give them a shot. That last shot was this cart that was originally downtown. It changed me. It changed that day. Somehow I just craved sweets again, after like 8 years, I found the appeal! Was hyped to see the cart moved to my favorite pod in PDX, The Heist, and gave it anither shot. AGAIN. FLOORED. This is the perfect cookie. The service is top tier, the menu has a little bit of everything, hell even the tunes inside the cart were right up my alley. This spot deserves a full chapter in my book of recommendations. Simple concept done exceptionally well with the best staff to back it up. 10/10.

So I've been going to sweet and salty for about a year now and absolutely nothing has changed. I…read morethink that's the best review I can give. They definitely have new and inspiring ideas but the quality and the flavors haven't changed a bit. Elbe (the co-owner) is also the Mastermind / Chef and comes up with crazy ass recipes that just smack. I could talk all day about their sweets but the absolute bomb for me is their chicken salad. The chicken salad sandwich at sweet and salty is -hands down- the best chicken salad sandwich in Portland period!!! It's got big chunks of chicken and a little sweet from some cranberry, some crunch with celery and Walnut and then some peppery spice that smacks you a little bit, but not too much. They keep it real simple and have a great white bread they put it on and, frankly, I can't get enough. I usually get one once a week or so depending and it never gets old. So one year and going strong. Definitely check them out!!!

Absolutely loved these cookies. I got 5 different kinds. All I know is that these cookies are worth…read more my money. The lady there was amazing. She seen how overwhelmed (in a good way) I was getting cause everything looked so good. She was very helpful, the place felt welcoming, and she made me feel deserving (which I already know I deserve everything) but it showed she had good character which is far more important for me. Highly recommend overall.

The signs out front asked if I was ready for the biggest cookie of my life, and although I don't…read moreknow if it was really the biggest, it was for sure the thickest and most chewy! They nailed the baked cookie that still has the texture of cookie dough, which I love!!! While $5 for a cookie may seem a bit steep, they are thick and RICH. For sure not your average cookie. A fun option we didn't try but sounded delicious was their cookie sundae, where you choose a cookie and a pairing Tillamook ice cream to dress up with topping at their little bar. Maybe another time! I so appreciated that they had some samples available, because it was hard to choose with so many tasty looking/sounding options! I ended up with the red velvet which was purely decadent. Parking is on the street where you can find it, thankfully we didn't have too much trouble getting a spot close by. Will definitely be returning! Big thanks to the friendly folks at Portland Cookie Co for a great visit

The texture is soft and very doughy- which some people love! I think I prefer a more baked crunchy edges type of cookie. These cookies are stuffed so maybe that is part of the reason they have that texture? Worth a try for sure! Service was friendly!

I first came across Sarah's cinnamon rolls at Zupan's Market. The "mini" cinnamon rolls, which…read morearen't so mini, come in a pack of four for $8.99. Yep, these are not cheap. However, I got these when they were having a sale for $5.99 so I had the opportunity to try them and I was hooked! I soon realized that Sarah's Cookies was a local bakery here in Portland. They do not have a storefront; however, they do offer their fantastic baked goods to the public if you give them ample notice. I'm a big fan of breakfast baked goods so I ordered: - Blueberry Butterhorn: $2.50 each Flakey, buttery and oh so delicious! A total treat for breakfast when you have your coffee. - Blueberry Coffee Cake: $6 Yummilicious, definitely different than your buckle cake. - Mini Cream Cheese Cinnamon Roll Pack: $7 for 6 rolls I fell in love with these when I first had them at Zupan's. The next best thing to homemade ones. - Mini 1/2 & 1/2 Cinnamon Rolls: $7 for 6 rolls I prefer the cream cheese frosting over their regular ones but they are equally delicious. A few things to note: * They are located near the airport. * There is no minimum order. * For pastry order, you'll want to give them at least 2 business days in advance. * They are a bit slow on email so if you have any questions that need to be addressed immediately, you should call them. * You can place your order via email, but follow-up with a phone call to make sure they got your order. * You'll know your order has been received when you get an email with the invoice from Sarah or Jessica with a link to PayPal. * Most of their products are great for up to 5 days when in a sealed container, but they also freeze really well. Service was friendly. I was there half an hour early to pick-up my order and it was ready! Sarah's pastries are sinfully good. Treat yourself once in a while!

This was my first time ordering custom sugar cookies, and to be honest, I wasn't really sure how to go about it. I contacted them about my order for a baby shower that I was hosting. They told me they were booked up but were able to squeeze in my order. The ordering was done via email. And the cookies were to be picked up the day before the event, but since they were not able to finish within the pick up window, they delivered the cookies to me! Oh, and they even threw in some extra cookies in my order!
