Lovely bakery, great business concept and delicious cupcakes. Definitely will be back more often…read morethis year. Today I purchased a dozen regular sized cupcakes (Almond-Raspberry: Almond Cake. Raspberry Frosting. Lemon-Blueberry: Lemon Cake. Blueberry Frosting, Chocolate Salted Caramel: Chocolate Cake. Salted Caramel Frosting) at $44.00 a dozen or $4 each. Price went up $5.50, which is to be expected, but still worth the price, in my opinion. Starting Tuesday, March 4th their seasonal flavors will be tropical fruit. Give them a try if you find yourself in Multnomah Village in SW Portland.

They have frozen meat (beef, chicken, pork), dairy, eggs (sometimes), lots of fresh vegetables and fruit, ready-made meals, canned goods, dry food, dessert, and more. Since their model is based on donations, you never know what you're going to get- but that's part of the fun. I love seeing what unusual vegetables and fruits they have. The volunteers are great, and they help new clients figure out the store's layout. They're always available to answer questions. Most of the volunteers only speak English, but a few are fluent (at least at a conversational level) in Spanish and other languages. There is a line, so be prepared to wait awhile. The volunteers set up tents to cover people in line if it's raining. I definitely recommend going here if you are struggling to afford food. It's a lifesaver. It's 100% free to use and doesn't have income barriers.

We had a decent budget but we literally could cut it in 3 and still afford a beautiful dress here! My sister hates attention on her and can't make a decision easily. She gets very overwhelmed and most of the places we had a consultant breathing down our necks! Not here! We were able to try on 15 dresses in a hour. After a full day of shopping we went back to the shop and got a dress she fell in love with here. And on top of it all the dress was only 500$!!!! I could not believe it. We were looking between 2k and 3k but this dress was the one! I just got back from the wedding and this dress was a show stopper!

I've taken several classes here after being introduced through a Yelp Elite event. They had me at…read morestreet tacos! Chef Valentine is so nice and patient, the classes are fun, and at the end, you realize it's surprisingly easy to make good, healthy, affordable food that is delicious! I've taken the pork ramen class, which was my favorite. The broth, cooks in 30 minutes in an Instapot, and it was so rich and flavorful. I went out an Instapot the next day! We also made the noodles from scratch. It took a lot of kneeding to get the texture where it needed to be, but it was worth it! I haven't made the noodles at home yet because it took two of us to manage the pasta sheets and pasta machine, which I don't have. But someday! Also enjoyed the class where we learned how to make Saag Paneer, one of my favorite Indian dishes. Once you learn the technique, you can substitute chicken or lamb for the paneer. Quick, delicious, and far less money than if buying out. What makes these cooking classes so enjoyable is the ease and comfort of the atmosphere, created by Chef Valentine, and the ability to get to know the other people in the class. You all prep and cook together and then share the meal as a community. You can bring beer, wine or hard cider - and if you forget, go downstairs and buy some! People tend to share what they bring which adds to the sense of community. Chef Valentine has taught me knife skills, which I thought I had! Wrong. I was doing all the work and not letting the knife do it's job. It's all about the tools and using them properly. These classes have also taught me patience. Cutting all the veggies for the ramen takes time, skill and patience to get uniformed cuts. Prepping and measuring first makes the actual cooking process go smoother. I've always been a cook, but never much of a baker because baking is about being precise with measurements, which requires patience. After taking several cooking classes at Feed the Mass, I've learned how patience pays off. This Christmas, I baked about a dozen varieties of cookies, including baklava. They all turned out wonderful, according to my friends who gobbled them up and I owe it to Chef Valentine! Classes are located on the second floor of Whole Foods in the Pearl. You can park on the street or in Whole Foods garage. If you spent $10 on groceries, parking is free. Love taking classes here! I bought a book of 5 passes so classes end up being $25 per class, a bargain since you also eat a meal! What I really like is the mission of a Feed the Mass, which is to educate and provide classes to those who can't afford to pay for classes, to teach them how to make a healthy and affordable meals for their family. A meal that costs less than fast food and is far more delicious. And healthier. Taking classes supports this Non-Profit's mission. There are classes for kids, date nights, family classes and even classes where you learn how to prep a few meals that stretch out for a week. So take some classes and learn new skills, have fun and pay it forward! It's a great experience and a fun way to spend an evening with friends, family or as a single...once you walk in the door, you are part of the community.

No matter your skill level (unless, maybe, if you're already a professional chef), you'll learn something new. We made ramen noodles from scratch (!), which were an amazing consistency and soaked up the flavor of the broth well. We also learned proper knife techniques. Chef Valentine has a real passion for cooking and teaching others this important life skill as a means to a healthier lifestyle. A portion of class fees goes towards scholarships for classes for those in need. On the down side, this may have ruined me for instant and non-housemade restaurant ramen, as ours was so good! Now I'll really be saying, I could/should have made this at home!
