love love love this place! I went a few years ago for the first time on a trip to portland, but had to come back a second time this year. The chocolate chip cookie dough was my favorite - both basic and delicious. The only question I had was if the recipe or formula for the oatmeal cookie dough changed? It seemed different from what I remember. But that could just be a 'me' thing! read more

Service: 7/10 very kind! I had a lot of samples and they were very generous Ambiance: 6/10 cute and quaint Food: 5/10 it was very yummy the first couple bites but it's super rich. I'd prefer ice cream. One small scoop was too rich to finish. The flavors were good but it just gets old after a few bites read more

Stuff is delicious. You do need sweet tooth though. Easy to get free water though. :) you'll need it. Has a nice vibe and design. Would easily come back if we lived here. They could totally offer coffee though and it would have really come in handy. We walked a couple blocks away for coffee and just brought it back but seems like an opportunity. read more

It's so hard to find a dessert shop open past 10pm here (that isn't a chain), so this was a great find! Located in downtown, the shop isn't super spacious inside and instead offers more of a pickup-and-go service. They have quite a diverse set of cookie dough and you can either have it with or without ice cream! The girl assisting my friend and me was so kind and very patient with us, who are indecisive haha. My friend and I ultimately ended up getting a pint to share, and it was so fun. The cookie dough tasted exactly like the "forbidden" typical egg cookie dough we aren't supposed to eat. It has the creamy, rich flavor and a nice sugary texture (the texture is always so hard to get for cookie dough!). While it is a bit sweeter than I would typically go for, I think they do an amazing job at what they provide (and at a good price). Would definitely come back if I crave cookie dough! read more

This place is great! The staff is super nice and the treats are really tasty. It's just like an ice cream shop, but there are options for scoops of cookie dough. I thought I could handle the cookie dough, but it is so rich and sweet I could barely finish my sundae. If you are a huge cookie dough person this is a must try! My husband who doesn't really like cookie dough even liked it. read more

Very interesting to have choices of cookie dough to eat, similar to an ice cream shop - which they also have. The two employees were very friendly and let us try a couple of doughs/ice creams before we made our purchases. Delicious! read more

After a night out we wanted something sweet and I didn't know what to get as it was pushing 11 pm. We looked up what was open and this is where we ended up! I am was shocked this even was a thing but I was so down!!! The staff was friendly and the place was bright/clean. I got two scoops and my finance got one. They were absolutely delicious but oh so sweet. By the end I was sweets out but so worth going again. Their cookies were also super delicious. Overall two thumbs up! read more

I was shocked when I saw this place on Google Maps because I could have sworn I saw this concept on Shark Tank a long time ago. And I was right! Turns out they didn't end up closing the deal as it seemed on the show. The actual desserts are FANTASTIC!! We were in Portland for only 4 days and ate here for all 4 days. I loved the original cookie dough and Oreo + cookie dough flavors, paired with the cookies & cream ice cream. It wasn't busy any of the 4 times we went, so service was fast and I was able to talk to them about the history of the business. Ambiance is relaxed and seemed good for a date night. Easy parking right in front. Prices were very fair and the cup was big enough for two to enjoy. I loved it and wish it was nationwide. It could be very successful! read more

Perfect spot if you LOVE Cookie Dough! Just like an ice cream shop is this Cookie Dough Cafe located in downtown Portland. It smells really good just like cookies and you can choose your cookie dough flavors and it eat just like ice cream. Workers are super friendly, lots of different options of sizes and flavors to purchase cookie dough. You can even eat the cookie dough straight from there! I don't think I paid attention or know if people actually try to bake the cookie dough with their leftovers. But a fun spot and nice sweet treat if you're looking for a pick me up! We got the birthday cake cookie dough and it was great. There are even options to get cookie dough and ice cream as well as additional toppings. There isn't much street parking but typical city parking around the shop. read more

Our flight into Portland arrived late and we got to our hotel even later, so I decided to just stay in and DoorDash a couple things. This place was presented as an add-on to my main order and since it was on my list of places to try, I went ahead and ordered a couple scoops of the cookies n' cream. To put it simply, it was super good. I'm normally not a fan of cookie dough but the cookies n' cream flavor was super tasteful. I would definitely order again. read more

I have the world's biggest sweet tooth, and even this was too sweet for me. The amount of options was very good; I got the confetti cookie dough, and the oatmeal cookie dough. I also tried their sugar cookie for good measure. The cookie dough was good but it was honestly way too sweet for me. For the first time in years, I drank milk to level out the sugarness. It's a good concept cookie store, but I did in fact found my sweet limit after visiting here. The service was outstanding though. I loved the workers. They were so nice and charismatic. I would come back just for the service, but not the products. They didn't rush me and encouraged me to take my time. There were a wide range of selections. As for the store, it was very clean and very modern. It captured the whole cookie store feel. read more

Service was really good. We've had never tried it but it was really good. There was a few stools to enjoy the dessert.

I love coming into the store. Everything is fresh and soft. I made the bad mistake of ordering it to go off Postmates . The whole experience was horrible. The dough scoops looked like they have been pre-scooped and they were dried out. Don't even get me started on the rock, hard ice cream with the smashed down topping with a touch of freezer burn to go..... They need to make that fresh. This isn't 711. It's a gourmet cookie shop ffs, go the extra effort and make a freshly scooped ice cream for your delivery customers .. come on. read more

Cookie dough served like ice cream! I know! I'm in! At least I thought I was in. I think they do a great job and offer a cool product... in fact it's one that I had thought I would love. Turns out... I don't really want to eat that much cookie dough. I was "Doughed Out" after a few bites. A great concept and worth a try, and for those of you who need cookie dough served with a side of more cookie dough I think you will love it. I'll give a 4 star on the unique idea but a 3 star for my pallets. For me, I'll get ice cream next time. read more

Wow, talk about a sugar rush! I found this place on Uber when looking for desert for a date night at home. Two items stood out as a recommendation. We got the chocolate espresso cookie and the "Cookie Monster layered halfsies". The cookie was really good. Soft chocolate cookie with brownie type frosting. A couple of chocolate espresso beans. The Cookie Monster was good but extremely sweet. I didn't know what to expect from the pic but I was picturing something with more ice cream. There was ice cream of course. But a majority of it was sweet cookies, caramel and cookie dough. It would have been much better with more ice cream. read more

A small cookie shop in downtown Portland. A little too sweet but super satisfying to eat. I ordered the Doughwich and my fiancé ordered just the M&M cookie. Although not pictured, it is a sweet skinny cookie with a bunch of M&Ms for you to bite into. The Doughwich is just batter mushed into a sandwich with ice cream in the middle. The Doughwich is already premade as they keep this frozen in the back. This dessert option comes in a few flavors. You do not get to pick the ice cream flavor, only the dough sandwich part. I sadly dont remember the rest but two of the options i debated were the Brownie Batter and the M&M cookie dough. As pictured, i chose the Brownie Batter, which sandwiched a sweet and tart raspberry flavor. I will have to come back again to try the rest of the dessert options. So far the Doughwich has won my heart and will come back to try the M&M cookie dough flavor. read more

It takes $0 to be nice to someone and wow this place delivered on that!! Special shout out to Ella for taking her time to get to know my friend and I, while explaining the cookie dough and ice cream selection. She also was able to recommend some nearby fried chicken places when I mentioned I love fried chicken. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! She's the sweetest and never rushed us while we made our decisions. My friend ended up deciding on ice cream while I opted for cookie dough. They have a handful of flavors each for you to choose from. The cookie dough is obviously heavier, so if you're looking for something light, I'd go with ice cream. The scoops are $3.50 each. Definitely coming back for some sweets before we leave town! read more

Good selection of desserts: cookie dough, ice cream, basic cookies, and elaborate cookies. The portions here are huge though. This is a good and bad thing as you either eat way too many calories or end up throwing a lot away, especially with younger children. read more

This place is SO good! we came here for some dessert after having lunch down the street. I got half coffee ice cream and everything cookie dough. The dough was the perfect consistency and went great with the ice cream. Big shout out to the employee who was working at the time. I unfortunately did not catch her name. She was so sweet to us, and while we were in there a homeless woman came in and was borderline harassing her, and she handled it SO well. We weren't really sure what to do, but another employee came out from the back and was there with her. Will absolutely be back! read more

Went to check it out and tasted a couple. Very sweet so if you're in the mood for a sweet treat it's quite yummy.

Yum! Looking for a quick dessert place on the way home from dinner downtown. Was happy to find this place still open and find friendly staff and yummy cookie dough. Everything was clean, staff was wearing masks and gloves and very friendly. The best combo we liked was one cookie dough scoop and one ice cream. Otherwise, the 2 scoop of dough was too sweet. read more

This place let us down. Cookie dough can be an amazing treat, but we found Cookie Dough Cafe's to be lacking in both flavor and deficient in texture, it was like eating play-doh. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this place, as much as I would have liked to read more

Honestly, this just wasn't for me. I can see the appeal of this place if you're already into cookie dough, but I've realized I'm not one of those people lol. I think it's more of a texture thing for me. I can't imagine eating a whole scoop of this on its own, was definitely easier to eat with some regular ice cream together. read more

I'm sad that I'm not a huge cookie dough fan. But my husband is. Like LOVES it. So when I told him I found a cookie dough place for dessert after dinner, he didn't hesitate. Parking: street Service: the staff are super friendly and welcoming and they usually offer samples, but during COVID- not so much. Food: you can get cookie dough or baked cookies (which was nice because I got it baked instead of eating the dough.) oh & ice cream! I did take a bite of cookie dough itself- and it didn't feel gritty like the other cookie dough I've had in the past. It was smooth and tasted like eating the gooey center of a baked cookie. Definitely would be back to fulfill my husbands craving again haha. read more

Wow. Excellent. Cookie dough and ice cream mixed with cookies if you want. So good and exactly what we needed. read more

Great little storefront! Very clean bathrooms! And the service is outstanding. Asking for samples does not irritate these people!! I ordered the "Best of Both" in a cup $7 which is a scoop of ice cream and a scoop of cookie dough - your choice of course. I got the Cookies n Crème cookie dough with white chocolate raspberry ribbon ice cream. It paired very well together but I found myself enjoying the ice cream more. The cookie dough is quite rich, very very sweet and dense. I also wish they had a low sugar variety cookie dough one to cut out some of that overpowering sweetness. But I'm glad I came because it was a nice treat on a hot day. read more

I love cookie dough as in I will make myself a batch of cookies that results in four-ish cookies and consumption of the remaining dough. I love ice cream, like, I eat it every night. I didn't love this place. $7+ for a small scoop of ice cream and an even smaller scoop of cookie dough just isn't for me. It is for a lot of others as this place survived the pandemic and does offer several dough flavors that the staff will happily and patiently let you sample. It's worth a try, cute shop and signage, friendly staff but price point seems off. Or maybe it's bc I'm still relishing Europe gelato prices of $1.80 for a scoop? read more

Omg! Walking around portland, I came across this gem and visited 3 straight days. Definitely as good as voodoo doughnuts. $4 for a large scoop. Definitely a must stop for anyone with a sweet tooth. Oreo cookie dough. 4.5 star Chocolate chip cookie dough. 5 stard Oatmeal Chocolate chip 3 stars (uses oatmeal powder instead of oatmeal) read more

Yum! Such an interesting concept, and who doesn't like cookie dough!? We stopped in and tried a few different flavors - the standard chocolate chip and then the everything but the cookie. Both were delicious. The staff person (doughrista) was friendly. She also was just bringing out a bunch of warm cookies from the oven that looked amazing. I'd eat here again. read more

What a fun place! Add this to your Portland Trip Itinerary! Ambiance: Fun and Upbeat! Brings friends here and enjoy trying the different flavors! Food: Aka Cookies and Cookie Dough! Very delicious but rather sweet. I would love a low sweet/low sugar option. It's so good though we definitely returned several times. Service: The people who work here and very nice and welcoming. It was fun chatting with them and learning about their favorites. read more

The Cookie Dough Cafe - Amazing and soft cookies! - Desserts Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Service was amazing!! The place was very clean and cute. Prices are good! One scoop of cookie dough is $4, so worth it. Tastes Amazing!

One scoop of the Cookie Dough feels like a full on meal since it's so dense and rich. I came here recently over the long weekend after eating dinner nearby since I was craving something sweet. Thought some cookie dough and ice cream weren't going to be too much to handle, but was I wrong. I ordered "The Best of Both" which comes with a scoop of cookie dough and a scoop of ice cream. The cookie dough itself was heavy which was a stark contrast to the ice cream which was light. I honestly couldn't finish all of the cookie dough since it was too rich. I would have rather preferred the ice cream with some cookie dough bites as a topping. That would have been easier to eat. I think this place is worth to try if you love cookie dough, but be warned that it is exceptionally filling. read more

I was walking by this cute shop and decided to swing in. I wasn't even hungry for a sweet but the employee was so chipper and nice I had to buy something. They have it all if you love desserts. Edible cookie dough, how can you go wrong?! It's super rich so watch out. I got one scoop with a mini scoop on top. Big scoop was Oreo flavored and the mini scoop was chocolate chip. Needed to try that for sure but I did love the Oreo more. They serve ice cream and cookies as well. Cute shop! read more

The staff were delighted to help us right when my boyfriend and I walked in! They even asked if it was our first time which we said yes, and the staff were able to explain how the store was set up. My boyfriend ordered the cookie dough and I actually was craving more of a sorbet, so I ordered the maui wowi. I got to try a little of his cookie dough and although I am not a big fan of chocolately sweets, I liked the texture and the richness of the cookie dough. The maui wowi was not to sweet and hit the dessert spot I was craving. read more

Have gone to The Cookie Dough Cafe 2x so far. So I think it's safe to say the sweets aren't bad, but in my defense I went this second time because I think their strawberry ice cream is AMAZING and wanted to give it another try with a different cookie dough. The first time I went I got the confetti cookie dough with the strawberry ice cream. I felt the confetti dough had a weird flavor, and after taste. I generally like confetti or sprinkle sugar cookies but this dough just didn't give me what I wanted or needed. The second time I got snickerdoodle cookie dough with strawberry ice cream. That was a better experience than the first, which I may go back again because of it. BUT, maybe it's just me but as I get to the end of the cookie dough I just start to taste a weird flavor from the dough. Maybe the sweetness just wears off for me as my pallet gets used to it but I find myself not enjoying it as much especially once the ice cream is no longer there to mix with it. So, my intention of this review isn't to bash the cookie dough as it is enjoyable and a super cute thing. I just seem to struggle finding a flavor that I enjoy from start to finish. read more

Disclaimer - Not a cookie dough guy. It's just not for me and this was my first (or second) time having cookie dough. I forget which one I ordered but I think it was a cookies and cream style.
