Thank you Creo for making my friends birthday so wonderful. I appreciate your guys' excellent service considering our late attendance.

A small group of young adults with their moms attended this Creo chocolate tour. We all had a…read morewonderful time! It was a wonderful blend of learning, tasting and creating. It was very interesting to learn about how they started the company, from where and how they source and receive their chocolate, and what they do to make it as smooth and creamy and delicious as it is. And it is the smoothest and the creamiest chocolate I've ever had! The tour was quite generous in their tasting portion with so many flavors and textures to experience! The samples were small, but honestly it was a good thing. By the end, I had a hard time eating more, not because I didn't want to, but because my sweet tolerance had been met. Still, it was a true pleasure! Everybody had fun creating their own chocolate bar. We got to choose from dark, milk or white chocolate, then add toppings and flavors from many options. After the tour experience, you can choose to visit their gift shop. You don't need more chocolate, but you'll want someone! My favorites were the spicy chocolate bar and the sesame seed toffee bark. The salted caramel was amazing too! Go and enjoy!

I have enjoyed the sea foam delights and chocolate covered gummy bears (white chocolate, dark chocolate , milk chocolate) for many years. The staff are adorable and full of energy and they will let your try just about any of the sweets. Special hand picked samples are always displayed in a dish for you to try as you enter the store. Adorable knick knacks, cards, and goods are also available to purchase. The decorations are abound here with the holidays. A counter filled with handmade delectables may be gazed upon and selected to your liking. There are also pre packaged goodies and holiday boxes for you to complete your gift giving. If you have Yelp, don't forget to check in. There's a discount currently available to you.

I was then told to "scoot up" so there would be "more parking," which would've put me past the sign, into a no-parking zone, and right at a turn--you know, breaking the law and increasing the chances of my car getting clipped. Before I could even finish explaining this, I was cut off with "Whatever dude, do whatever you want." Real welcoming. The dirty looks while she continued setting up sealed it. If this is the hospitality before opening, I can't imagine what it's like once they're busy. Hard pass.

My wife and I hired Bubbles & Treats to do the beverages for our wedding, and are so happy we did…read more For us, it was important to have an alcohol free wedding, but we still wanted something that would be festive - and Bubbles and Treats delivered. Of note, even if you were serving alcohol, I think this is a great addition for folks who may want to limit their alcohol consumption, and to ensure folks who don't drink aren't left out of having a special treat. This would also be great if you have a lot of kids in attendance. I'd be willing to bet you could book them for other events too, and I would. Honestly, we were really nervous about how not serving alcohol would go over, but during our reception so many of our guests raved to us about how much they loved it. Lillian & William (the owners) helped us to come up with signature drinks for our event, worked on a plan for service in the event of rain (since they are an outdoor outfit and we had a spring wedding), and were happy to go over logistical and safety concerns with regards to COVID (which is now a really important part of event planning). You can catch them around various markets and events in the community and it's worth the trip just to check out!

Again, my parking karma continued as I found a spot right out front of Creo Chocolate, located…read morealong NW 23rd in Portland's Alphabet District (7/9/26). It had a really inviting layout upon entering. I loved that the retail shelves were filled and nicely organized with bars and various chocolate treats available for purchase. There's also a vast selection of individual chocolates in the glass case. I was kindly given a salted caramel with dark chocolate couverture to sample while I wandered the shop. I also filled out an entry slip for a chance to win a gift basket filled with hand crafted, single origin chocolates valued over $300. It was nice to see that their chocolates have been award winning too, seeing awards on display from years past. Shout out to the retail person onsite that day. Very pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable. I was also given a product sheet where it was noted whether in stock or not and seasonal availability. I bought chocolate treats for others, and a 73% dark chocolate bar for myself. Highly recommended!

We wandered in, not really knowing what I wanted but I knew I wanted some kind of chocolate. We…read morewere just looking around but the friendly cashier offered us to try a sample of anything we were interested in, so I decided on the brown butter flavor. I'm so glad I tried it because I hadn't been planning to get anything but once I tasted it, it had me SOLD. I was so sad when I finished the bar even though I was savoring it like Charlie from the Chocolate Factory book BUT I'm buying a whole bunch for my family's stocking stuffers for Christmas (they each picked out their own flavor and I'll order them all together) and for my own Christmas presents, hehe. So excited to try more flavors but mainly, to have my favorite brown butter chocolate again! Really high quality chocolate, have never experienced such a rich and complex taste in chocolate that melts so beautifully in my mouth. Normally I'm a die hard dark chocolate fan but the brown butter milk chocolate is so rich that it gives dark chocolate vibes. PS Thanks to the sweet cashier for changing my chocolate life forever!!

Nya was suppose to deliver the desserts the day of the wedding like organized and she never showed up. The wedding coordinator and multiple other people tried calling and messaging and we were completely ghosted. Despite her making posts on facebook the day of about another wedding cake. No apologies or anything. She ruined my sisters special day and we had to quickly improvise and get a store bought cake and other desserts. I am completely devastated for my sister as this was her big day. Nya despite multiple attempts to get ahold of her never once reached out apologizing despite my sister emailing her and messaging on instagram. Until I started commenting on her facebook account asking to give my sister a refund She stated this has never happened before but by all the other yelp reviews it's a complete lie. I honestly don't know how she still can operate a business with how unprofessional it has been. She claimed she "spaced it"?! I am so unbelievably upset. I advise everyone to go somewhere else for business as this girl clearly cannot run a business. Attached photos are from other people who never received their orders!

The smallish parking lot was almost full when I arrived a little after 2pm, but most people were shopping for shortbread in the shop section. They have an impressive range of different types and flavors of shortbread on offer here. Reservations are required for afternoon tea, and I would recommend calling as opposed to filling out the email form on the website. I walked in to the cozy tearoom and was quickly seated. The room was cozy and the table set with items from Britain. Additionally, they had nice holiday decorations out, which lent a festive air. Service was very friendly, and we never felt neglected, even when the shop was busy. While I waited for my tea companions, I perused the tea selection. Lots of options, from fruity herbals to traditional black teas. My family soon arrived and our tea orders were taken. I went traditional in my selection of PG Tips (a British black tea blend). Each person received their own teapot, with cozy. The teapots stayed hot the entire time, which was nice. We had sugar cubes and milk to add if so desired. Everyone seemed happy with their tea selection, my niece even finished her teapot of blueberry tea. The tea tower of food came out soon after our teas. The sandwich/savory tier had both cucumber and roast beef sandwiches, along with sausage rolls. All were hearty and delicious, and the bread was soft and fresh, not dried out. A tangy mustard sauce complemented the sausage rolls nicely. Then there were three large scones, one plain and one cranberry. These were served with butter, strawberry jam and cream. The top tier consisted of fruit along with lemon curd, chocolate mousse and cream tarts, each with a shortbread base. All delicious and perfectly sized. Their was more than enough food for us, and I ended up taking quite a bit of the scones and savories home with me. The sweets were the biggest hits with my niece. After the tier was removed and boxed up, one more treat was served. It was a delicious combination of chocolate, whipped cream and a brownie base. It earned a thumbs up from my niece. I grabbed a couple shortbread treats for later on my way out. They were all rich and flavorful, as were the leftovers from the tea itself. This was a wonderful holiday treat, and a friendly and tasty introduction to afternoon tea for my niece. I will be back for some more shortbread and another afternoon tea with friends and family. Highly recommended.
