I pre ordered a very large cake three weeks in advance for an event for veterans. They forgot to…read moremake my cake... they refunded the cost of the cake, but not the $40 tip. I had to scramble and buy smaller pre-made cakes at a grocery store so there would be cake with the meal for our vets. I was so embarrassed. I'm pretty upset that they got paid $40 for nothing, because they didn't refund the tip. Rewarded for doing a poor job? That's shameful.

We were looking for "breakfast goodies" on our road trip. Noah's has an extensive selection of…read moreMexican bakery treats! I had the blueberry lemon cake, and hubs had a strawberry turnover. The cake was moist and flavorful with lots of blueberries. He loved his turnover. We each got a "ginger pig" for later. The pig wasn't as gingery as I have had in the past, but still had great texture and flavor. There is a Starbucks and a Dutch Brothers in the parking lot to complete your breakfast ensemble.

She made perfection!

I have a feeling Alea will be known for so much more than its incredible bakery…read more I had the opportunity to attend one of their curated chef dinners, and it was such a memorable meal. The chef-owners, Brendan & Haley, prepared and served a thoughtfully curated multi-course dinner featuring the freshest seasonal Oregon ingredients. Every course was beautifully executed, but the duck was, without question, the best I've ever eaten. Perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and something I'll be telling everyone I talk to who plans to go to Willamette Valley. What made the evening even more special was hearing directly from the chefs as they shared the inspiration behind each dish and highlighted the incredible local farms and producers they partner with. It felt intimate, personal, and unlike a traditional restaurant experience. You could feel the care and intention that went into every detail. If you only know Alea for its amazing bread, breakfast, or pastries, you're missing one of the most unique dining experiences in McMinnville. Some meals fill you up, and others stay with you in your heart. I wish these two the very best of luck and hope to make my way back soon!

The space is shared with a small grocery, pizza, beer and custom tshirt shop.

There are many ice cream places that go out of their way to create a nostalgic look and feel. Some…read moredo it to make a point. Others, just are who they are. Why hide it. This is what makes them awesome. Welcome to Serendipity. It's in McMinnville, Oregon in their historic core. What keeps its character is that it both celebrates the heritage if their building, and integrates that into a unique environment that serves some pretty awesome local ice cream. It can get cramped inside, but if you take a brief moment, look around and enjoy the art, the beauty of the intact early 1900's artifacts and decor, complete with self-playing piano. The staff is friendly, extremely busy, and absolutely patient with the often consistent bustling crowds that come, even at night, in a weekday in summer. There's limited seating outdoors, weather permitting. However, don't forget to ask for that waffle cone. I won't get into specific ice cream flavors, but they are not ones you typically find and national chains. Nothing too exotic, and its all recognizable to the American palette. Bubble gum is one of those examples, but you'll find your favorite for sure. When in McMinnville, and in need of dairy with that sugar fix, Serendipity is it!

There's definitely a little something for everyone. Their baked goods were amazing! I especially loved the crust on their pies. But another hidden gem has to be their toasted macaroons. They had the perfect balance of a golden, toasted exterior and a soft, gooey center. AMAZING! Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area and want to try some local treats or bring a few goodies home.

Five stars! And i'm a fairly tough reviewer! So, a friend…read morefrom work told me about this and at first I laughed and was pretty amazed that there is a place that serves pancake burritos. It took me a moment to sink it in but after repeatedly telling me it's super good I thought well shoot why not try it. I was limited on time and didn't really want to go pick up food since I was headed out today for the lake so I looked up the site and then sent the text. They accept card which is good! And are quick to reply when you order. Anyways, cool dude! Delivered my food and it was nice and hot. Now I was a little nervous at first because I didn't know what to expect and bam! Took my first bite and oh my gosh it hit the spot! I got the pancake burrito with french toast scramble with caramelized bananas! Simple yet amazing! Not only is this unique but it's freaking good. Definitely worth it. Will be spreading the word and also ordering again real soon.

I'm a loyal Juice's Pancake Lounge fan, I tell so many people about them that I'm pretty sure I should be on the payroll as an employee . LOVE the fact Mac is foodie friendly and supports new ideas like this!!!! I would also like to say that the review questioning (blasting) the proper naming seems like it came from someone who is very petty and bored which is unfortunate and I hope it doesn't interfere with your decision to try Juice's Pancake Lounge...try it once and decide for yourself - regardless of what they're called, they're delicious ...
