Their wine bar is fantastic, and good-priced, and it was fun to watch the last of the World Cup here today. If you're looking for something special or hard to find, this is the place, much like the old Pastaworks was on Hawthorne. They really shine on their produce, pasta and fresh meats here, and there's always something new, but I love that you can count on the bakery for your focaccia and other fresh breads. Cheese case is like Rue Cler, Paris--so much selection and they will tell you about each one of them. Don't be afraid to just ask a lot of questions. I wish that they did some little items in the bakery, one of my fondest memories from childhood was going to Pastaworks with my dad and getting a breadstick, probably eating it before we even paid (we did), as we strolled around, and where's the peanut sauce for pasta, another favorite of the old days, yup, I'm old. Can't say enough good things about this place, it can add up though as others have mentioned, but, if you keep to a list or just slow the roll on the impulse buy, it's actually reasonable and you know you're getting what you're paying for. I've never regretted a purchase here or thought it unfair. I mean, it says Fine Foods right there in the name...:) Thank you for the amazing ingredients for dinner tonight, cheers!

We are typically brunch people, making it here most often on a Saturday or Sunday for a late brunch. Their benedicts are to die for... truly, they're all wonderful. Their Laser Potato is out of this world. Truly, my favorite item on their menu. It is fabulous in all ways. I often take a side of it home just to enjoy later. We recently tried them for dinner. Their muscles are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Truly, the best I've ever had. This beats living in the southeast on the coast, any west-coast seafood restaurant, and every place I've ever enjoyed in Italy. They've certainly topped the muscle game. Highly recommend Olympic Provisions. I will gladly vouch that the negative reviews are from the haters, just to hate.

As a gluten-free girlie when you're craving donuts, you have to be ready to go on an adventure and…read moreto go on an adventure the prize has to be worth it. Let me tell you these are so worth it! I will start by saying these are not like a standard fluffy donut. Mochi style donuts are more like a thick old fashioned donut in the best way possible. Be ready to be full after one, or two. I love the variety of types of toppings and got half a dozen to try a few. Also loved seeing they fill the donuts to order, so less chance of a soggy center. Note: I had no soggy centers and it took 3 days to eat them all. Of them all, the horchata pudding was my favorite. The warm and creamy flavor worked so well with it. I will say the frosting and fillings were great alone but I wasn't huge on the brighter flavors (key lime, watermelonade) with the donut. Either way, I took care of my donut craving, got to see a different area of the city, and had a sugar rush for a few days.

Strawberry yuzu funfetti - anything with rainbow sprinkles is kiddo approved but this one is adult approved too!

Good chocolate donut all around. 5 stars Pool Boi - loved the creativity with the little gummy bear in the sour gummy ring and the blue raspberry flavor was on point! 5 stars. Passionfruit curd - fantastic tart curd with a classic mochi donut. Yum. 5 stars. Key lime pie - perfect tartness that worked well with the sweetness of everything. 5 stars. Cocoa pebbles - excellent chocolate donut! Could had used more cocoa pebbles. They need to have more chocolate specials! 5 stars. Horchata pudding - lovely cinnamony donut with a tasty horchata pudding. 5 stars. Ube - I wish the Ube flavor was in the donut too. Perhaps the Ube flavor could had been stronger in the glaze? 4.5 stars. Orange cardamom - subtle cardamom flavor but overall tasty donut. Not especially noteworthy flavor. 4.5 stars. Black sesame and jam - I usually love black sesame, but the combination with the jam was not my favorite. It's probably personal preference, but next time I'm going to ask for it without it. 4.5 stars. Strawberries and cream - compared to the strawberry yuzu, this one was a little underwhelming. Adding fresh strawberries with the cream would had been the way to go. 4.5 stars. Guava cheesecake - the Guava flavor was overpowered by the graham cracker flavor on this one. I think a straight Guava one would be amazing. 4 stars. Compared to pon de ring and more traditional mochi donuts, these had more donut characteristics and were much sweeter and less chewy. So glad we discovered this place!

Both are located in untypical locations. Cowbell is located in a bit of a gritty industrial area in Central Eastside, Like Street Cheese, Cowbell has a curated selection of cheeses. It also has a good selection of gourmet foods including imported pasta and olive oil. The setup here for ordering is like you would at a restaurant rather than like picking and choosing cheeses in a deli. As such, you have a conversation with the cheesemonger about what you are looking for and they suggest cheeses to fit your needs. For me, I was visiting Portland for a few days and wanted some brie with a baguette. The Trillium by Tulip Cheese in Indiana that was suggested was a good choice pared with the locally made Little T baguette that the shop carries. It was nice that I could get a half portion as the full piece would have been too much for my short stay. If you are interested in specialty cheeses and need help with finding what cheeses you like, I would recommend visiting Cowbell to help you figure out your cheese preferences.

While living in Texas I got spoiled by the Mexican grocery stores the size of Safeway's up here, so all of these small places are interesting to seek out and see what items that they have that remind of those huge places I used to visit routinely. I will admit, I haven't found much agua frescas to my liking but I'm sure they are out there. The guy running the place was very helpful, as I've been seeking out a certain Mexican pepper that most places don't seem to have. He was going to check with his rep when he shows up in a couple weeks and let me know. So that was cool. This is also the first place I've seen with pan dulces. I will be back to get some of those. They were well under a buck each. I will admit some of the prices were steep, but when you are getting local Mexican products all the way in Oregon I'm sure there are costs involved. This is a cool little gem up in a neighborhood I've yet to really explore. Enjoy.
