I love their custard!!!! I use to get their custard from new seasons but we have stopped in here once or twice and I have also picked it up. The customer service was not the best. We had to wait a long time for some one to help up as well as they were not the friendlies when they did finally help us. read more

I love this bakery! I live across town and when I want to splurge this is where I go for cookies and desserts! Best snickerdoodles!

We got my daughters second birthday cake here. The cake was really dry and the icing was hard despite taking it out of the fridge hours before eating it. We won't be back :( read more

Conclusion from "Don't touch their cookie jar" review. I wrote this to the manager but she did not respond, and she put a condescending response to my initial review so I guess I'll just have to do this publicly. Manager: YOU, YOU, YOU - dropped the ball. badly It is your responsibility to ensure the environment in that bakery is cookie and cake and happy people friendly. Anyone with half a brain cell could have seen the grumpy lady was having a seriously hard time that day. And you put her at the counter? That's downright incompetence. A minimally competent response would have been to let her stay in back that day with a quiet repetitive job so she could sort through her feelings in peace. A better response would have been to suggest she take a sick day and a really GOOD action would be to give her a sick day free, aka to be kind to your distressed employee. Because a GOOD manager would know that an unexpected source of kindness would help grumpy lady feel better and heal faster and consider her work a place of solace, even if her outside life continued to be crap. You should resign. Manager. Grumpy lady didn't traumatize me in the slightest - I know about people having bad days. YOU and that other woman who were NOT having bad days, traumatized me. Because you scolded me. Without, by the way, getting my side of the story first. or second. or last. I had to come back in and offer my guess. You want a closed up bakery? By all means continue to ignore human feeling. I'm autistic and I get this stuff: why can't you? read more

I ordered a cake here for my birthday, gave them a five day notice for it and was super excited to get a poppyseed cake. I cut into it and it seemed they used some type of batter that was not for cake?? It was dry and hard to cut into. Almost like a loaf of bread. I sadly won't be coming back here. read more

Fantastic thick delicious cookies and pastries, PERFECT PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES! I will NOT go to any other bakery! 2 reasons. 1. When shopping around for wedding cakes, we had a couple of bad experiences. (Charging $35 per person for the consultation, lackluster cakes, etc.) NOT SO, HERE! Robin was wonderful, attentive, and contributed to our tasting and decision. At one point, I asked if they could do a yellow cake with lemon curd filling. SHE WENT BACK, GRABBED A FRESH CAKE, AND WHIPPED UP SLICES OF EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED FOR IN SECONDS!!! Needless to say, we went with them for the wedding cake. The complimentary Anniversary topper a year later was fantastic as well. 2. Fast forward a few years, we've been using them for all our birthdays and celebrations, never a bad experience. I'm graduating from Technical school, so my wife orders me my favorite cake, "With some sort of graphic appropriate to the occasion." (Yellow cake, lemon curd filling, chocolate ganache icing, btw) The cake comes out during the party and I'm elated. A little computer made from fondant, oh, and it's got ones and zeros on it, yay for binary! As I cut into it, I'm struck by a thought. "I wonder if the binary says anything?" I plug the long string of digits into my binary translator and what do you know? THEY WROTE OUT "CONGRATULATIONS" IN BINARY ON MY CAKE! :D That's customer service the likes of which I will reward with my business for the rest of my life. Word of warning, the parking lot is small and Saturdays are busy, as they have sales on the aforementioned cookies. read more

I purchased a German chocolate cake from Zupans made by this bakery and it was fabulous. The chocolate was dark and extremely moist, and the layers of German chocolate were thick and sandwiched between chocolate buttercream (a very pleasant surprise!). Easily the best German chocolate cake I've purchased. I'll definitely buy it again, and I'll be sure to visit the actual bakery soon! I'd love to meet the cake expert(s) who made this delicious treat! read more

3 words: Chocolate Rum Mousse. OMG. If there is ever the perfect Marci dessert, it would be the Chocolate Rum Mousse from The Dessert Tray. Dark, crunchy Oreo-ish cookie crust, a luscious serious chocolate mousse that is velvet smooth and laced with...well, rum, of course... a dollop of whipped cream and a cornet of chocolate candy. Go in there Saturday morning and ask the friendly staff for a 4 inch Chocolate Rum Mousse... You won't see them in the display case, but someone will go in back and fetch one for you. I've found I can cut it in half (it's round), eat one side and freeze the other for another day. The Dessert Tray has consistently great desserts and staff who are always ready to please. The cost is very reasonable and beats many of the local fancy dessert prices around town. There are a few tables for folks who want to eat something on the spot and watch Beaverton go by or they'll box up whatever naughtiness you desire to take home for later. They have a very good selection/variety of treats in their display case and other goodies one can order (or ask for special, like my mousse)... Just check out their menu online or in their store. read more

I love the Dessert Tray. It is my go to cake place for any occasion. I have ordered them for corporate events as well as just picking up come cake for myself. My all time favorite is the Raspberry Lemon Poppy Seed. We joke that they need to make a punch card since we are in there so often. They make great custard as well. I could just eat their frosting. It is soft, not too sweet and melts in your mouth. read more

I ordered a white cake with cream cheese filling and buttercream frosting for a baby shower that I was hosting. The cake was amazing, everyone at the party loved it and couldn't get enough. The cake was light and fluffy and wasn't overly sweet like most cakes tend to be. Definitely worth it to spend a little more money than I would have at a supermarket bakery. The business was clean and the staff was very friendly. read more

If just grading on customer service, they would get 5 stars. The gentleman who helped me with my order was friendly and took a lot of care to make sure the order was correct. Kudos to him. I'm a sweets buff and am particularly fond of cake. There's very few cakes I don't like. Unfortunately, our cake from the Dessert Tray was one of them. We ordered the Black and White cake to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it was not tasty. It was very dry, the chocolate had very little chocolate flavor, and there were sugar granules that crunched in the buttercream frosting, which also did not have a good texture. Was globby and a bit oily tasting, not creamy. I see that most other reviews are positive so I am hoping that this is an isolated experience, however the first time makes a big impression so we will probably not be back. Thank you for your excellent service, though. read more

They did an amazing job! My mom loves my favorite murder podcast and they made her a cake with all of the quotes they say. It was nice to walk into the store and they knew what podcast I was talking about that. They made a delicious cake and everyone in the bakery was very friendly. THANK YOU! read more

When I needed a fondant cake pretty last minute and got turned down by multiple bakeries, these guys saved the day and got the job done. The cake was very pretty and almost as expected. The only thing we found disappointing was that I asked or a specific detail on the cake but it actually wasn't done the way I wanted it to be when I picked it up. Regardless the cake was delicious and the ladies at The Dessert Day were super friendly. I will definitely be ordering here again. read more

The cost is not that reasonably priced and the cakes are not that consistent. I've bought some not so good cakes (too dry on some parts and one occassion it tastes stale). If consistency with their good products are there then I'd say it's worth the price. If you have a special occassion and your guests will appreciate chocolates and things that are sweet, then it's good to indulge them to dessert tray. they are good and worth going back to, but it's ahit and miss on my case. read more

Ok seriously..where have you been all my life? This place has been open 10 years and I haven't sniffed it out yet? I can't believe I didn't know about this dreamboat palace. I'm a cupcake feign. I just have to eat cupcakes. I, for the first time in my life tried a Key Lime cupcake. Oh my! Wonderful! The frosting was so good and creamy and the cake was so dense and delicious... I wanted to marry it. I also had to have the mocha cupcake. It was equally as superb! I'm so in love. Too bad this dreamland is a million miles from my house. I WILL be back for sure when I'm in the area. read more

Chocolate cake with a chocolate fudge ganache. Weighed at least 6 pounds. Sweet, but not too sweet, which was great, because it was definitely rich. Delish. Product? 5 stars. Customer service, not so much: 3 stars. Result: 4 stars I'd order from them again though. read more

I was stuck on Pi Day since I found out my neighborhood dessert place wouldn't sell me a whole pie unless it was ordered that way (a much longer story). After some searching, I called The Dessert Tray and picked up their last one (cherry streusel) for the game night I was headed to. The person at the counter was very friendly and laughed along with me when I recounted the story of the previous shop. The pie itself was hefty when I picked it up; no supermarket skimping here. The slice I had later was very good, with just the right amount of tart in the cherries, a crunchy/sweet streusel top, and a flavorful crust. It received rave reviews from others that night, and multiple people asked me where I got it so they could check it out. Bonus: while they apparently do have dietary restricted options (a requirement in this area), I confirmed the pie I got was made with plain old butter, flour, sugar, etc., and the taste reflected it. I'll definitely be going back for future dessert needs. read more

Got a champagne cake. The icing and filling were 5* but the white cake was very dry thereby my 2 star rating. I will say that their desert bars and cookies are great but this review is for the cakke only. read more

We were celebrating my mother's birthday and it was a big one (60 shhhhh) so we really wanted to make a great day out of it and I knew one thing she would love was a great german chocolate cake. I found The Dessert Tray on yelp, thank you, and decided to order the German-style. It was DELICIOUS! Everything about this cake was great, the cake itself was moist and yummy and the amount of frosting was perfect. It was almost like they made a huge cake and cut out the middle to give to us. My mom loved the cake so much after her first bit she wrapped up what was left and warned us all against eating any more of her cake. We still talk about the cake every once in a while. We will be back for sure! read more

This place is going to be the death of me, it's conveniently located by my house, and SO DELICIOUS. I'm there at least 3 days a week now. Must try: Lemon Poppy seed Cake or any of the cupcakes. Oh, the cheesecake was fabulous, too. Fiance almost peed his pants when he tried their carrot cake. They have great deals on their day old stuff, you can go there, drop $10, and leave with a bag full of mouthwatering treaties. I just ordered 2 dozen pumpkin cupcakes with caramel buttercream for the office Halloween party, trust me, they are DELISH! read more

Went and ordered the Cupcake.....it was sooo dry. It must be a theme since I just read another review mention the same thing. Too bad I have such a sweet tooth and to mess up on such a basic item :-( The frosting was terrible also; my wife had a lemon bar and said it was ok. read more

I'm from New England and wanted a Boston Cream Pie for my daughter's birthday....her very favorite cake and not very available here. I was thrilled with the cake The Dessert Tray made for us and will get all our special occasion cakes there from now on. Delicious!!! Moist yellow cake, luscious custard filling and a wonderful chocolate ganache type frosting. I love that they don't make everything too sweet! Just right read more

I love going by and picking up a new treat. It doesn't matter if it's a bar, cupcake, slice of something or an entire cake it will be heaven on your tongue. They have fun creations and beautiful wedding cakes. The service is good, they are friendly and ready to help. I gave it four stars for two reasons: 1) I'd like to see more selections in the cases 2) Lack of parking. This is one I'll keep going back to. read more

AMAZING! I thought I would tackle my daughters first birthday "smash" cake myself, along with the party guest cupcakes...this happened, that happened, it all happened except making the cake & cupcakes! The party was on a Saturday. I called Dessert Tray on Thursday. Not only could they do the cake and cupcakes but they could actually stick with the ladybug theme I had planned...I know, original...but hey, it was easy! When I picked it up on Saturday morning, it was beyond my expectations...especially on such short notice!! The owner rang me up and somewhat shyly, told me she had done the cake. I thanked her far too many times and off I went! Needless to say, my daughter loved her cake, the guests loved their cupcakes and the party was a hit! I would recommend this bakery for all my dessert seeking friends! I will absolutely be back for more! read more

We were looking for a different 5 star bakery we found off of Yelp to find that it wasn't available for walk-ins, rather, it was for catering and events only. My wife knew of this place as it's in one of the neighborhoods we frequent in our errands. It's a bit inconspicuous with a very tiny parking lot. They have some preparations out in the cold cases that kind of felt like a reluctant attempt to humor the walk-in customers, rather than an extravagant attempt to generate buzz and obtain more walk-in customers. We were looking for goodies for a co-workers birthday, and I figured they might possibly be tired of the usual donuts that I bring and thought I'd try something else. They have several cakes that aren't conducive to stand-up eating in a fast paced environment. They have lots of bars but the bars are gigantic and easily a meal in themselves. I wanted to ask them to quarter them to make more appropriate portions but didn't want to be "that guy" so I picked a couple lemon bars, a couple chocolate, and a couple different cookies and a cheesecake bar for ourselves and a coffee beverage. The cheesecake bar has a layer of a much needed fruit glaze which helps to cut through the super-richness of cheesecake. I asked the staff about the rest of the foodstuffs when I worked the next day since there wasn't any left, which says something in itself since there's usually donuts left the next day. "The chocolate bar was good but it gave me diabetes". "The lemon bar was good but it had too much powdered sugar even after I shook it upside down" no one admitted to eating the mammoth peanutbutter cookies or the snickerdoodles. likely ashamed that they just ate 500 calories in one cookie while the other's cut their bars in half. The gal watching the counter was super nice and had a sense of humor when toddlermonster liked what he saw in the cold case and proceeded to walk around to her side of the counter as he was trying to figure out how to get to the cake. The crew was busy making these adorable tiny personal sized tier cakes in the background. Would definitely recommend these guys for catering and weddings, but the walk-in experience was kinda meh. read more

I am surprised at the negative reviews! I have only had positive experiences in both service and quality of the products! They have the best German Chocolate cake I have found and I searched Portland! I have ordered custom cakes multiple times and never had problems! I am going to order a birthday cake and have no hesitations. read more

Update, and oh it's still 5 stars. Fiance brought me a lovely dessert assortment from Dessert Tray for Valentine's Day. He knows me well. Chocolate mousse in a chocolate heart topped with raspberries! Baked custard! Yummy fudge cake! Raspberry oatmeal bar! Cupcake! Mmmmm it was all heaven. read more

Sometimes I just get cravings for sweets, and on my way to school I passed by this place many times. Today I decided to stop by and chose Swedish cream for quick pick me up. Guy who works at counter was friendly and helpful. Even brought me napkin and spoon! I am happily off to school with sweet sensation left in my mouth. So rich and creamy but not too sweet. During the finals I'd be sure to come back for more. read more

The Dessert Tray - Swedish cream with berry topping :3 - Bakeries Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

I forgot to tell my boyfriend "Happy birthday" before he headed out for work, and did not realize this for a good two hours. In a fit of guilt, I drove over here to see what they had in stock. They had a pretty good variety of pre-made cakes (from carrot pecan to raspberry fudge). I ended up getting the lemon poppyseed cake, which was amazing. I expected the cake to be dry/stale (from sitting in the case), but it was perfect. I grabbed a peanut butter frosted brownie and a vanilla cupcake with buttercream frosting for good measure. The brownie was a little dry, but the peanut butter frosting made up for it. All in all, I spent around $30 (including a tip, because the person at the counter was really nice). Not bad! I'll be back eventually to try some of their pies (they have a coconut cream pie on their menu that sounds delicious). read more

I'm so happy (and honestly, relieved) to say that Robin contacted me to apologize for my experience. I so wanted to be able to like (and even love) this place, but the follow-through really made it a tough sell. However, she tried to make everything right with me, which I appreciate and which really redeemed the experience for me. read more

My fiance and I went here for a cake tasting for our wedding cake and I have to say, we were disappointed. Cake was dry and service was lacking. Positive: The saving grace at this place for me is their chocolate cake. You will not find a better chocolate cake. Period. High quality chocolate on top of high quality chocolate. SO GOOD! Not-so-positives: Granted, this was for a cake tasting experience, but it was very impersonal. We went in, told them who we were, and they asked us to wait while they brought out some slices of cake. Okay, cool. Then the baker brought out our selections, told us what they were, and then left us alone. Okay, I appreciate the alone time to discuss. However, she did not come back to check on us and it took us awhile to get their attention at the counter. Not okay. Needless to say, we went elsewhere. Also, I am big on tidiness. Their shop is small and obviously they should focus on their baking, but the sitting area was outdated and looked forgotten. This did not make for a pleasurable experience. read more

I love to eat sweets, love them, this is a true love hate relationship, I love cookies, and then I hate the way they attach themselves to my behind, making me look horrible.. Usually I am able to avoid this curse. But now there is a place where I love to go.. the dessert tray has some of the best desserts in the area. I am talking OMG goodness. But I must rave about their cookies, they are full of butter and heaven. These 5 pound pieces of heaven are as good a cookie as I have found. The butterscotch crunch is a delight of sweet and crunchy. The chocolate chip is delicious. For me the best part is most people don't know about this place so it is a hidden gem... read more

Very dissatisfied with taste/texture of birthday cake. I pre ordered a 6inch "Black & White" and was so disappointed with the cake I just threw it in the trash. The cake itself was very dry and stale tasting. Frosting had no flavor whatsoever. Sorry I gave this bakery my patronage. read more

They don't return calls so they must not want any business. Haven't been all that impressed when I have been in anyway so guess it's for the best. read more

My husband took me here to pick out a birthday cake on my birthday. We asked to spell "Happy Birthday Rachel" on a cake we picked from display. The lady asked is it "R-a-CA-E-L?" And my husband said "Just E-L." She took it back and came out but still spelled it the incorrect way. We politely pointed out the mistake, but instead she said WE said "A-E-L". We did not. Rather than owning up to the error, she kept conceding my husband said she spelled it right when asked. I'm not a confrontational person, nor did I even care about the error. I chimed in, "Hey, I'm the Rachel this cake is for and this does not bother me, it's no big deal." It was an honest mistake. She didn't let it go. She packed up the cake because we foolishly paid for it before the snafu and she rudely said, "Well I guess maybe next time don't get your name put on your cake." Then walked away. Basically signaling to us we're done here and we're stuck with the cake. I cried in the car on the way home. How can someone be so rude to people on their birthday AND MAKE CAKE FOR A LIVING?? My husband is a good man and bought me a new cake from somewhere else. read more

Well, I would like to say that Dessert Tray was once a warm and happy place...I had a custom wedding cake made 20 some years ago...This was when everyone was skilled, friendly, accommodating and all about the customer...My cake was freshly baked the day of, and not from a freezer...The flavors they offered back then have since disappeared...Now there flavors are basic...There butter cream frosting is made from shortening, which means its not butter cream at all...If u dont mind a slimmy frosting...Then go for it!!! Theres no extravagance to there decorations either, and it if u ask for something more then basic expect high prices...I watch Cake Wars, so this place is a joke...Im waiting for someone with true baking skills to open a Bakery....SOON!!! read more
