cookies, lemon bars, and cupcakes, I could live here. I do love the brownie assortment, but only on the cooler days. They are so rich, I start to get light headed! the inside is like an old bakery, with cake stands and everything out to see and smell. The betty and de3bbie bars are outstanding. it is great to see the creativity! The better pricing is the bag prices, it's like getting 2 free. read more

This place is DANGEROUS! I love it too, too much. I dream about the bars, the cakes, the cookies, all of it. All of it! Ugh. It's ridiculous how much I love the desserts here. We unfortunately live a short drive away from Hungry Hero, so there's absolutely no point in me ever trying to lose weight because this place will lure me back in time and time again. It's so good. So good! I love the cookies (yes, I've tried pretty much all of them, and they are all delicious), but the bars are really extra dreamy. And I ordered our first cake from here recently, and now there's no ordering cakes from anywhere else. My family would revolt if I tried. We all LOVE their chocolate layer cake! The people who work here are always so nice. And the shop itself is cuuuuute! So bright and colorful and unless you have a cold dead heart, it will surely put a smile on your face. It always does mine. Great. Now I am craving a funfetti bar. Darn you, Hungry Hero! Oh! And street parking is always super easy for me to find right by or across from the shop. It's in old town Sherwood, just a few minutes off of Highway 99. Super cute place with the best desserts! Go support this awesome local dessert shop! read more

WOW. What an incredible bakery. The baked goods are amazing. I cannot tell you, Sherwood, you are lucky this place exists. It has the most flavorful, moist, delicious cupcakes, pastries, macarons and more. But let me back up. The wife and I visited Sherwood a while ago. It was a beautiful day. We asked for directions to a local bakery and were directed to The Hungry Hero. Upon entering it's a quaint, charming vibe. You're greeted with a kind hello and the display case is inviting and filled with glorious wonders. They cater to someone like me with weird food allergies and although I'm anaphylactic to eggs I did my best to enjoy those amazing huge macarons that hands down beat any here in our town. Yet only 3 stars? 5 for the bakery. 5 for the products. But 1 for the attitude. It would have been a great experience until my wife asked about that counter. Then it became an uncomfortable, suspicious political event that neither of us needed to be involved. I don't care about your political agenda. I'm not in your bakery for that purpose, I'm in your bakery to purchase incredible baked goods and be off. I plunked down $50 and off we went to enjoy our treats. So all in all 5 stars for food, service and ambiance. But we'll pass on the attitude - so we'll find another bakery in Sherwood or go to the local Fred Meyer who will sell us plastic, mass produced "baked goods" without the agenda. read more

The Hungry Hero Dessert - Yummy! - Desserts Near Me - Sherwood, Oregon

Everything we've ever tried is incredible! (And we've tried over 15 items) The service is top notch and it feels so welcoming each time we visit by their staff. I highly recommend the peanut butter brownies, cheesecake and gingerbread bars (seasonally). The cupcakes are fantastic, too. I also love the cookies. Any of their treats are worth the price and trip to Sherwood. read more

I love business owners who are collaborative and have a strong sense of community. Those traits go a long way in making businesses with potential stand out, and because of these traits and their amazing product, The Hungry Hero Dessert Company is quickly becoming one of the pacific northwest's preeminent bakeries. I simply adore everything about this company. I've frequented The Hungry Hero dozens of times, ordering birthday cakes and desserts for special occasions. I've also worked with them in a professional capacity as they've graciously donated product to high-profile nonprofit events I've managed. Everything this company does is first rate, with love shining through in every delicious detail. Check out the photos I've provided with this review... these folks are at the top of their game! My favorite desserts include their pumpkin whoopie pies with cream cheese frosting because they are absolute perfection! The Betty bars perfectly blend sweet and salty flavors, and contrasting textures into a heavenly dessert. Also, I'd be seriously remiss if I didn't mention the cereal killer cookie. If I were to describe my favorite scent, it would be this cookie. Citrus, fruity pebbles breakfast cereal, marshmallow and white chocolate chips come together to form an innovative cookie that will make your heart sing! Please support this amazing business. I want to see them continue to thrive and grow because they bring happiness into the world. Tell your friends and family about The Hungry Hero Dessert Company, and make their delicious desserts part of your special occasions. read more

My daughter and I stopped in while exploring bakeries and other vendors for her upcoming wedding- what a Darling Establishment!! The gentleman was so helpful and genuinely interested in making things perfect and what she wanted. We purchased a few goodies to sample and he was kind enough to give us a few samples as well!! I'm sure we will be using their place- we were both so pleased with the quality of the goodies, the staff- we know they will be a perfect match!! read more

Happened upon this place during a walk after dinner. They were selling banana pudding which I couldn't wait to try. It was more whipped cream with a little pudding and a few banana slices w/a little cookie. I would have preferred the pudding be more pronounced but it was tasty (it was probably 60% whipped cream. Not a horrible thing if you really like whipped cream - which I do.). We may return to try a few of their cookies - their combos looked interesting. read more

The cookies and brownies, that which I have tried, are outstanding. The desserts are very well made, and creative!

Delicious lemon bars. We stumbled on Hungry Hero when visiting Sherwood. Now we want to go back for more lemon bars! read more

I was over in Sherwood on a day trip and wanted to get a bite to eat and saw this cute shop. I had a red velvet cupcake and the Debbie Bar (similar to a magic bar). Originally, I wasn't sure if I would like them because it looked like it might be too sweet. But was pleasantly surprised it had just the right amount to enjoy all of the flavors without feeling like I was in sugar overload. read more

3.5 Cute little bake shop in Sherwood. Friendly staff and a wide selection of baked goods including some basque cheesecake, cookies, cupcakes and bars. The desserts are pretty sweet. We tried the cookies and a bar. The potato chips didn't come through much but it probably added a nice saltiness. The butterscotch was but too sweet for me. The ugly cookie was great because you can't go wrong with a marshmallow. All of them were nicely crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. From the photos I expected bigger cookies though. The bar was alright - good flavors but just not my favorite. read more

The Hungry Hero Dessert - Chocolate potato chip, the ugly cookie, oatmeal butterscotch and the bar (blanking on the name but the one with coconut) - Desserts Near Me - Sherwood, Oregon

This is one of those rare gems in a small down. The cookies, bars, and specialty treats are the best around. I can't even think of a better place in Portland than here. Cinnamon roll Sunday is a real thing. Get'em fresh warm and gooey Sunday morning and you will have a happy family. They do so many things right but their cakes miss the mark. They tend to be dense and dry to the point of the center filling being nonexistent due to the cake soaking it up. We pick up treats from here regularly, I just don't order the cake read more

I've been excited to try all the different variety of things here. We got a different cookies the best cheesecake, two cupcakes and three bars. The cupcakes and cake are so so soft and moist. The frosting is not overly sweet and I love it. I wish the cookies were not salted because it's a little bit of overkill on something that's already delicious. Sometimes I can taste just salt and not the yumminess under. Overall very good and decide to go back. read more

Oh my goodness. I don't even know where to start so let's do this... I'll start at walking in the door, because when I opened the outside door, I was hit with the smell of delicious baked goods wafting across the air. Walking through the inside door was like walking into a big ol' candy shop as a kid with no idea of what to get first. Walking into Hungry Hero is the same way: how do you decide what to get when it all looks so amazingly yummy that you want one of everything? Since I was the only person in the shop at the time, I slowly made my way past the bakery cases, taking in every single item, trying to decide what looked the best (haha! everything looks fabulous!) and then settling on several things because I just couldn't make a decision. I finally chose a piece of Basque cheesecake with salted caramel, a lemon cupcake and one each of the macarons (fruity pebbles, vanilla, salty chocolate). The Basque cheesecake was delightfully wonderful with the salted caramel sauce making it super yummy; the macarons were tasty and sweet; the lemon cupcake was full of that lemon flavor I love so much. This is definitely a place I'm keeping on my "go back there" list because it's a place to go back to time and time again. Looking forward to the inside seating opening up again, because it'll be nice to grab something delicious and then eat it right there. read more

We asked Hungry Hero make the cake and desserts for my daughter's wedding and everything was truly out of this world! The cake was beautiful, moist, and delicious. We also got several other items like cupcakes, cookies, and bars and everything was such a big hit! It's a really spectacular place and I highly recommend it! read more

It has been a while since I was back here and I had several reasons to return. This amazing business has delicious desserts! They care about people! They support schools! Today, I went to pickup a donation they they graciously made for a school event and we are so appreciative. The cookies were delish! By the end of the night they were all gone too. I also bought some treats myself because I love their stuff and I got to try some new things. The staff are helpful, patient, and kind. I need to go more frequently. Glad to see they've survived these last few years. read more

This spot has my heart! It calls to me! Their cupcakes and their coconut Bailey cremes if you need a fix of eye candy and baked sweet tooth perfection take 18 minutes to unwind on the drive through the fields to the adorable historic district of Sherwood where you find the instagram post worthy bake shop waiting to greet you! They are stocked with usual goodies and some holiday specials. read more

The delicious and beautiful treats are displayed. Order at the counter as you see all the choices.

Because I value consistency, I did two things yesterday; I ordered a cake for today, and I used a local baker that consistently produces beautiful (and tasty) results. Bailey knocked it out of the park with this 8" lemon masterpiece, just in time for my daughter's 22nd birthday. Every desert on the menu is a BOGO - with your desert, you can feel good about supporting a small business that values diversity and inclusivity. I appreciate the fact that Alex and his amazing team go the extra mile to make everybody feel welcome, and it makes me proud to share this small town with them. read more

The Hungry Hero Dessert - 8" Lemon Cake - Desserts Near Me - Sherwood, Oregon

Ordered a cake from Alex and Ryan for an elopement ceremony. Very easy to work with despite me being a few states away (Colorado) Super accommodating when I asked for the cake to be delivered instead of picked up at the last moment. They were able to add some nice flowers and rubber ducks to the cake (marrying a duck fan lol) to make it fun and unique. I like that we were able to do two flavors. Everyone looooved the Red Velvet but the general consensus on the lemon was that it was too sweet. All in all a very pretty cake, we had a ton of leftovers so the size was great for our party making sure everyone got some, and a pleasure to work with. I would order from them again. read more

I have yet to have something from The Hungry Hero that wasn't exceptional. Their sweet treats are so delicious and I think about them often. I have never been to their store front, but always get something when they do pop-ups at Nordstrom at Washington Square Mall. These pop-ups are usually very busy, but the team working moves with urgency and efficiency, all while maintaining a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. If you want a delicious sweet treat definitely check them out. Everything is good, you won't be disappointed. read more

Cutest little bakery around! My family and I have been here several times and each time the staff is super kind and welcoming. They offer many tasty treats and priced very well for the portions. Quality ingredients and satisfying for the sweet tooth! Very creative and fun desserts. Favorites are the red velvet cake/cupcakes, brownies, and monster cookies!!! Definitely one of our favorites to visit for sure!!! Street parking and small/fast lines. Love it here! read more

Perhaps the luster has worn off a bit, but it feels that about a year ago the quality started dipping a bit. I noticed that their lemon bars, which are one of my favorite items, now have a super hard crust rather than being crumbly like they used to be. I also used to follow their Instagram page until it got super political; I don't even disagree with most of what they are saying, but it's a massive turn off regardless of party affiliation. I just want to see photos of their baked goods and news about the business! The owner is obviously free to say what they want and I highly encourage them; but I'd be careful about posting political opinions on a social media business page (no matter the stance or if it is "correct.") The service is still excellent and everyone is friendly; the shopfront is still one of my favorite things to see in downtown Sherwood. Don't want to end this on a downer but I will still visit because the product quality is still good. read more

Looking for some great cookies? Look no more. This place has some of the best cookies I've eaten in a long long time. The Ugly Cookie, Cereal Killer, and Choclate Potato Chip cookies were just amazing. The exterior texture of the cookie was nice and firm, along with the interior being soft and right amount of chewiness too it. The pumpkin basque cheesecake was also great. Overall, everything is good here. read more

This dessert shop is nothing short of AMAZING!! The shop, itself, is both fun and beautiful. The desserts were incredible! We had the chocolate pudding, browned butter bar, and cherry chip cake. I do not like overly sweet desserts and, in my opinion, each had a perfect balance of sweetness and richness. This does not mean it wasn't sweet or rich - it was both but allowed you to enjoy the flavor of textures of the dessert without overwhelming your tastebuds with sugar. Service was also fantastic and we will absolutely be back! read more

Addicting is what first comes to my mind in describing the Coconut Bailey cookie I just ate. The cookie was both crunchy and chewy. The vanilla cheesecake, we got with raspberry jam on top, was spectacular! Perfect texture and sweet but not too, flavorful. This is cheesecake you'd expect from a Michelin Star restaurant. The lemon bar had a nice balance of sweet and tangy. Very friendly and welcoming staff. For an intimate shop they have quite an array of cookies, brownies and bars to chose from and a few cakes. It's difficult choosing as it all looks delicious. read more

Absolutely delicious Cake and Cupcake. And really wonderful guys.

Sherwood serves up a winner! Upon entering I was struck by the cute factor and overall aesthetics. I'm a Pecan Pie and Pralines nut (get it?), their version is in the upper, upper echelon. The price to portion is fair. The owner(?) felt bad how the slice rested in my to go box so he included extra; what a lasting impression and way to ensure a return visit. The counter gal was so nice. The display case was a little cookie-heavy in terms of selection, but maybe creations rotate periodically. Looking at photos from Yelpers it looks like they have much to offer. I'm sure I'll bump up to Five Stars after a second visit. read more

I was introduced to this place from a good friend who ordered a coconut cake and rice crispy treats for her birthday. Before we could leave I was BLOWN AWAY by how amazing they were. I mean...you can't stop until it's all gone. That's how good! I even went back the following week and order more for my wife's birthday. I appreciate a business that serves food from the heart and is committed to taking a chance to share their gift with the community. Please support this place by ordering treats, being kind to the staff and say thank you every once in awhile. Small businesses like this are ones that set the standard of what it means to truly serve the community...everyone included! read more
