This review is for their Marionberry pie. I didn't exactly buy the pie from this main location, but…read moreI bought it at a local farm just down the road from my home. Took it home, heated it up in the oven and took one bite, and I was in heaven. This is the first time I've ever tasted marionberry and I found out that this fruit was developed here in Oregon back in the 50s. I'm used to raspberries and blueberries, but this is a very unique berry, especially made with this pie that has a really nice and delicious crust. Now I've decided what pie to serve during Thanksgiving. Can't wait again to have this pie in a few months.

This has been my go to for a pie for a dessert or other occasion…read more The hubby prefers pie to cake so we often will have birthday pie. They make these fresh and ready to go but they have the option to take a frozen one to bake later on. There are many other food items and trinkets here that I have not tried so I look forward to trying them in 2025.

I'm typically not a pie person, but Lauretta Jean's completely changed my mind!! Every pie I've…read moretried here has been so DELICIOUSSS and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. You can really taste the quality in the buttery crusts . The key like pie especially deserves the hype! One thing I really love about this place is that they're always rotating seasonal and occasional flavors, so there's usually something new worth trying. The fruit pies taste fresh instead of sugary, and even the cream pies feel balanced and light. It's the kind of dessert spot where you end up thinking about your next slice before you've even finished the current one The shop itself is cozy but be prepared because it gets bust even in the evening. There's usually a line and seating can be limited, but honestly it makes sense considering how loved this place is. Definitely one of the best dessert spots in Portland.

Blue Goat is my absolute favorite place to dine in Amity. And I know, Amity isn't a huge town, but…read moreeven if it was filled with restaurants, I know Blue Goat would still be the best. I love everything about them: Locally grown produce and meat, and a short, curated menu so you can depend on anything you order to be exemplary. They have prepared items if you just want a little something to grab and go, and they also sell their meat and produce too! We've dined here a few times, and I always try to order a goat or lamb dish as that is not something I would cook at home, and I know it will be skillfully prepared and tasty. For instance, we recently had goat empanadas....so darn good! Love them! We've also had the lamb barbeque. Their fries are ridiculously crispy and yummy, salads are always good, and for dessert the chocolate cake or cookies have been delicious. Don't forget to wander around a bit while you wait on your order (Which is always quick!). They have fun artwork, cute mugs, even dog treats! In December they had some sweet handmade ornaments and bulbs in planters. They are only open 3-8 Friday and Saturday so might take a little planning ahead, but they are so worth seeking out. If you are in McMinnville, it's only a little drive, and if traveling from that area to Salem, maybe make a pit stop in Amity for a tasty treat?

My wife and I took an overnight trip to Mcminnville area and I searched for somewhere nice that we…read morecould eat. I came upon Cypress and although the menu seemed limited at first, their options were all intriguing. We set a reservation for 5:30 on a Saturday. When we walked in there was only one older gentleman in the whole place so we were greeted promptly and sat immediately. I was wondering that since no one was there, that I perhaps made a mistake. That was NOT the case. Plants lined the ceiling and the bar and made the space beautiful and inviting. Very nice ambiance! We started with a special appitizer, Halloumi cheese and sweet potatoes. Oh man, absolutely incredible flavor and texture. That season and sauce on these were spectacular. If they are offer this, get it! We then had their seasonal salad which also was fantastic! Light and flavorful and we ate every bite. She got the salmon and I got the short rib and a side of brussel sprouts to share. All were incredible. The flavor experience here is off the charts. We kept saying how amazing the meal was all throughout the evening. I had 2 old fashions and my beauty had 2 paper planes. Both cocktails were far above average. They were excellent! You can't have a great overall experience without a fantastic server. Harmony was amazing! She checked in on us regularly ensuring everything was good and filling our waters. By this time the place was filling up with guests but we still had the same level of service. Thank you, Harmony. The pricing is what you would expect for an amazing meal. It was just over $200 including top for 4 drinks, 2 entrees, 1 appetizer, 1 salad, 1 side. It was so worth it! This was an incredible meal that my wife and I really enjoyed! Thank you, Harmony and thank you Cypress. Don't you go anywhere. We will be back next time we are down this way.

To be honest, when our plans to go bowling and have lunch at Big Al's today fell through because…read morethey didn't open till 3, but we still wanted to eat (and hadn't had breakfast yet at 1:30), I tried every option I could think of to not go to Bannings. When we moved to Oregon, it was under construction but we kept hearing how good it was - in fact, all the local FB pages would gush about it when a newcomer would ask about the best restaurant. And once it finally opened, we tried it, but it was kind of like Marie calendars and Shari's, but local. Ok, but not what we had expected for all the hype. So, after trying a handful of options it seemed Bannings was the only place we could still get breakfast so I begrudgingly agreed. Well, I was mistaken! I got the breakfast enchiladas and a strawberry orange mimosa. Now, the mimosa - I'll get that out of the way first. It was weird - it looked curdled. It just had mashed strawberry at the bottom and it actually was quite good. I'd do a normal mimosa in the future, but good. But the enchiladas - delicious. Like, I'll come back again and again for those. And they didn't charge me extra for the avocado, which I think is righteous because I asked for no hash browns. But not all places would do that, they'd nickel and dime even if you passed on one side for another. Additionally; my husband likes a savory breakfast and a sweet one too - so he often gets two breakfasts and though he may not eat all of both he gets that savory and sweet. Well, the omelettes come with 3 pancakes. Perfection. And, I took 3 bites of them - I usually might try 1 or not at all - they are very very good. Last - it did not break the bank. I've about ruled out breakfast out because of how crazy expensive the places that should be reasonable are. This was reasonable - PLEASE DONT CHANGE!! All in all 5 stars, will be back for breakfast; and hey - when I'm wrong I can admit I was wrong! Give them a try if you haven't!
