The…read moreperson working messed up my order (I didn't realize until I got home) and the cupcakes were perhaps the worst cupcakes I have ever had. The frosting was rock solid and the cupcake completely fell apart because it was so stale. They definitely are not baked fresh everyday. I honestly didn't even know you could ruin a cupcake like this. The shop is super cute inside but I likely won't be back.

The moment I bit into my Cardamom Orange Blossom Brioche, I knew I had to review Orange & Blossom,…read moresimply so I remember to come back next time I'm in Portland. I was in Portland for an extended weekend trip to visit a friend last month. This was definitely a side quest that I had not planned for. But we had an early start on my last day and stopped for a quick bite while waiting for some friends. And OMG! The cardamon orange blossom brioche is soo soooo good! I'm still thinking about it today. I was this close to buying a box to bring home. Only thing stopping me: I had a long flight (with a layover) and they're $6 each. $6 isn't bad when I'm having one. But for a box? It adds up..quickly! Plus my goal is definitely not to gain a million pounds, as would happen if I bought a box (because I would likely eat it all without realizing it lol). That said, amazing pastries! Definitely on my TO-VISIT list on my next trip to Portland :D

What a beautiful space! Right away, I decided to get the Masala Chai, and it was so delicious! I had a hard time deciding what treat to get for later. I asked the nice man at the counter for recommendations, and he highly recommended the apple coffee cake, and that's what I got. I took it home for later, and when I did eat it, it was really good! Not overly sweet, but very satisfying with my evening tea. Well now that I've got this spot on my radar, I can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu!

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.

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.

If you love cheesecake and other baked goods, definitely come here to try them!

Hidden gem, charm overload serving delicious, rustic baked goods. Both outside and inside is pink,…read morewith lots trailing plants, vintage cake dishes and tiered platters, and an entire wall of framed pictures; another with dried flowers; with lots of hearts and stars sprinkled in. The footprint of the bakery is tiny, but there is ample seating at their various tables. The pastry counter has a variety of baked goods that changes by the day. The gentleman behind the counter explained that it's challenging to determine the traffic during the week, so weekdays do have a less varied selection. however, there are still plenty of options! The weekday I visited, after seeing someone on Instagram devouring several cookies, scones and muffins, they had all those items plus pinwheel pastries, biscuits, popovers, quiche, hotdogs in pasty, mini chocolate lava cakes, and tarts. Hard to choose! Especially when I no longer over indulge on sweets and pastries So I limited myself to just one item. Opted for the popover freshly filled with Bavarian creme upon ordering. The popover was light and airy, but it was the sweet, delicate Bavarian - or maybe French - creme that took it over the top! They need to be eaten there, not saved for another day. On weekends they also have frittatas and breakfast sandwiches which I love. lily coffee is also available. And they have a dish with day old items for $1.50. The only downside is the tiny parking lot shared by several other stores so it's always packed. I drive a tiny Smart car and still had to maneuver and do a few k-turns to get out safely. Recommend parking on the street!

Condescending to me when I asked for milk instead of the half and half you had out was embarrassing.

So, whatever. * two stars for the cinnamon roll my friend enjoyed.

What a gem we stumbled upon when we found The Village Ballroom!! Connected to The Oregon Public…read moreHouse, The Village Ballroom is a nonprofit event space where 100% of the profits are donated to a local charity!! Pair this with the fact that it ended up being the most reasonably priced venue in town, and my husband and I were absolutely sold. The space is beautiful, with very little need to decorate because it is so lovely on its own. The entire event staff was so helpful and responsive, getting us answers right away and clarifying with us along the way. All the costs were explained very clearly and they were up front with us in how cost might be affected whenever we wanted to add something or change something. For a very reasonable fee we opted to use their staff for bartending, as well as the purchase of non-alcoholic beverages. Additionally, we chose to pay their staff (again, a very modest fee) to take care of clean-up after the event, as we didn't want to burden our parents and friends with that task. The venue has very nice chairs to use as well as a good variety of tables of different sizes (included in your rental fee). They also have linens which can be rented through them, saving the hassle of renting from another company and paying for deliver/pickup fees. The venue coordinator even worked with my wedding coordinators, offering suggestion for ways to expedite setup and the flip (we did both ceremony and reception in the ballroom). I really feel like this space is an under-appreciated treasure, and can't imagine why more people haven't caught on. Because my husband and I met working with a homeless community, we felt so good about our choice to go with The Village Ballroom, considering their direct connection to social justice and giving back to the community. It was the absolute perfect setting for our perfect day.
