Cute, tucked-away little gem of a chocolate/coffee shop! My boss walked there one day for a coffee…read moreand brought me back a yummy surprise: an ube chocolate treat. I was then on a mission to locate the purveyor of said goods! Seriously adorable little shop. Greeted immediately when we walked in, the place is just right. All the goodies are beautifully displayed in a glass case, and the coffee goodness is just on the other side. Amazing yummies, coffee and fantastic customer service! So excited to have a new place to frequent!

Pulled up excited to grab a morning coffee and left without stepping inside…read more I parked legally behind a street parking sign. 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.

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!!

Stopped in for a treat after having lunch nearby. Not too busy for a Sunday afternoon. A few people…read morewere taking advantage of the outdoor benches in front of the store. They have a nice canvas sail overhead to give some shade for seating. The inside is super small. Not what I was expecting. It was similar to Salt & Straw on the Vancouver Waterfront. It's definitely a grab and go type of establishment. I didn't see any baked goods displayed at all. Maybe they've done away with those options?! They had a nice variety of ice-cream flavors to choose from, including non-dairy selections. They also had floats. I decided on the single scoop Mint Cookies & Cream. It was absolutely delicious, and fresh! No freezer burn whatsoever, and plenty of cookies throughout. The mint flavor wasn't too overpowering either. It was the perfect after lunch treat! Staff was okay. Not super friendly at all. She didn't say much when I walked in either. I was the only one in there. It looked like you could sample some of their flavors too, but I wasn't sure if the extra interaction was welcomed. Definitely a different customer service vibe than Salt & Straw; their employees are so friendly and personable. Overall an okay experience. The ice-cream was delicious, but customer service lacking.

Baron Patisserie is a one-person show, and the passion, artistry, and expertise of the proprietor /…read morebaker is abundantly clear. Being such, daily variety and quantity is definitely on the smaller side, so arriving early, or calling ahead of time to order what you want is very advisable. As other reviewers have pointed out, prices are not listed, but the surprise after getting rung up was how incredibly INexepnsive all items were. The value is therefore off the charts! The store is clean, modern, bright, and open. Service is extremely friendly, prompt, and professional. Hours are very limited. Parking is abundant. I highly recommend Baron Patisserie, but recommend getting there right at opening for best selection, or calling ahead to order before you go.

I was randomly driving around the Pearl District and stumbled upon Roste Chocolate House (7/9/26)…read more I managed to find a parking spot around the corner by a couture shop. Limited outdoor sidewalk seating, but inside, there's a lot of seating at a few tables and along a lengthy banquette. Eye catching interior - gawked at the production equipment, the pastry case, the display shelving, and merch galore. Most notable once I entered, I was hit with the intense scent of chocolate. The staff person greeted me warmly and was patient while I perused the menu. I chose to sip onsite a 9oz drinking chocolate which was served with whipped cream and seltzer water on a tray. Definitely not something to guzzle, but to savor slowly and pick up on the complex flavor and luscious texture. A wonderful find!
