When we came around 3pm, it wasn't busy, so we got to try some of the flavors right away. They had about fifteen different flavors, including few limited edition ones. We tried about six different ones before deciding the ones we wanted. The staff member was super friendly, politely handing us the sampling spoons with the requested flavors. The store offered single, double, split and kids scoops. They had waffle cone and bowls available as well. We picked the double vanilla and my favorite sea salt caramel ribbons. The kid's scoop costed $5.25 each and additional toppings were 75 cents each. I loved both the scoops. The taste was as good as other locations we had tried. The ice cream was dense and creamy. We enjoyed our time at the store, sitting by the benches they had by the large open windows.

I'm sure wintertime they shut it tight. Bathroom inside (need a code). The staff were very patient and friendly. You can ask as many samples as you want. Even if there's a line, it usually move fast. Creamy, strong flavor, good quality ice cream. The menu has interesting options. Even though we have been to many locations, we still haven't tried them all. There are tubs and merchandises on display if you like a souvenir.

We stopped in for dessert after an evening elsewhere in Portland. The parking lot had space and was…read moreFILLED with fragrant jasmine flowers. We were seated immediately, but waited a short while for our order to be taken. They seemed quite busy. The dessert menu takes up a whole page. You can see many items in the front case when you walk in. There were at least 10 gluten free options, all clearly marked on the menu. All looked delicious and the decision was difficult for once. My dad had the mango black tea panna cotta and I went for the raspberry gateau. The panna cotta had great flavor. Subtle on the tea, strong with the mango. A generous portion but light enough that it could be finished. The raspberry gateau was rich and chocolatey. The raspberries were a necessity to add dimension to the dish. I recommend this location for celebrations, evenings out, or for a sweet treat just because. Everything is clean and it feels fancy and special without being overly exclusive. This location is right on NW 23rd and would make a great stop before, during, or after a day of shopping.

First time here, and I had no idea how popular this spot was! We went around 8 PM and the…read morerestaurant was packed to the brim. Luckily, our group of five didn't have to wait too long before getting seated. We all ordered different desserts so we could try a variety of things. The crème brûlée was really good, super creamy and definitely one of my favorites. The boccone dolce was a meringue based dessert, which unfortunately wasn't really my thing. The Passion dessert was yummy with a nice sour tang to it. We also tried the triple chocolate cake, which was very rich, dark, and sweet. If you're a huge chocolate lover, this might be the perfect dessert for you. We ordered an affogato as well, and their vanilla ice cream was so good! One thing I didn't get to try was the raspberry matcha cloud, but it looked really good and I think my friend enjoyed it. Overall, I can definitely see why this place is so well known and popular. I'm not sure if it's somewhere I would personally go out of my way to come back to, but it was still a fun experience and worth trying at least once.

Got sat immediately during lunch on a weekday. Ordered the tartare and garlic soup. I asked if they had lattes and they recommended me go down the hall while I wait for my order for a coffee at ranger chocolate how fun! The tartare hit the spot. Ice cold, the meat was fresh, Briney from the olives. Delicious would get again. Garlic soup, very rich. Never had it before it was delightful. Was a quick stop so I only grabbed a couple things but this was such a joy would recommend ! Looking forward to returning to try more things on the menu.

Desserts are nice and cold and for those with food allergies, allergens are neatly labeled on both the informational placard on the side and on the box. The staff keep the machine stocked pretty regularly so there's always something tasty inside. I went with the lemon curd tart this time and it was delicious! Prices for an individual sized treat runs about $12-16 overall.

I stopped in mid afternoon on a weekday, so it was pretty quiet, which meant I had free run of the place to poke around and also try to figure out how the vending machine machines worked. Fortunately, all I had to do was actually read the posted directions and voilà, dessert! I was surprised by the price at first, but can't deny and it was a high-quality dessert. I tried the hazelnut chocolate mousse cake which had a name that I've completely forgotten now of course! It took me a while to find it while I was there, but there is a menu on a table that describes what each of the desserts are, since they are only identified by name in the vending machine.
