    The Intern Cupcake and Raspberry Rex Cupcake
    Thomas L.

    Cute little cupcake shop. Went with a friend to pickup a wedding cake and got two of the mini cupcakes as a snack for the road. They had nice layers of flavor and different textures although the cake portion was a little dry.

    Because who doesn't want a rainbow sparkly unicorn cupcake?

    Clean spot, friendly folks, delish cakes! These little cakes in a cup are super cute! They are decorated beautifully, the taste is what you would expect... nothing that blew me away but a solid dessert spot and a place I would trust for a party or a special event : )

    First time coming here. It's a nice and clean bakery. They have wheat free items to choose from. I'm not much into chocolate filling. So I picked up the Daisy Hayes cupcake. White cake with strawberry mousse and vanilla buttercream. It was so delicious. Parking is side street only. No parking lot available.

    I love this place! It smells so good, the instant you walk in the store, and the staff is very friendly, helpful and quick! I love the concept of getting a full-size cupcake or a mini one to taste and try different ones. And, the flavor choices are mouth-watering delicious! The first time I went I got full-size cupcakes, and the last time we got a dozen mini- ones and it was fun cuz everyone in the family got to try different ones! I am so grateful that this cupcakery is in my neighborhood! I highly recommend them for any occassion!

    I have followed Fat Cupcake on social media for awhile, I honestly don't recall how I found out about them but hadn't been able to get to their Oregon City location. I was ecstatic to find out they were opening a new location closer to me and I just had to make it to their grand opening! I visited their new location in SE Portland off of Woodstock and it was beautiful! The shop is bright and welcoming and has several great photo worthy designs for a cute backdrop and photo op. It's not a huge space but if you plan to take your cupcakes to go then it's perfect but there were several tables to stay and enjoy your treats on sight. Since it was the grand opening we got free party cupcake [vanilla cake with sprinkles] and it was perfection! One the cake is so light and fluffy and the perfect amount of sweet. It melted in my mouth SO good!! We also snagged some minis to take home and enjoy later and they were also very delicious and moist! I am a little biased when it comes to chocolate flavors because I am a sucker for chocolate but my favorite flavors we tried were the Black Velvet and Dough Boy!

    The branding is cute, and I was sold by the social media presence and reviews left by others on Yelp and Google. Being a foodie, having a sweet tooth and always seeking to find the "best in its category" locally, I am sharing my honest feedback based on my experience. The store I went to was in SE Portland, coming from Beaverton, about a 30 min drive. It's a very cute and small store with a vintage vibe to it, no onsite parking but close enough parking available in the residential street nearby. They did enforce safety precautions for covid (limited capacity and mask requirement), which I appreciated. The ladies at the counter and whoever I placed the order with on the phone were gems and a delight to work with. Great attitude and customer service. They even accommodated a slight tweak in my order (not custom) an hour before I picked up. They have everyday flavor offerings as well as limited/seasonal flavors (for Easter they had carrot cake and hoppy easter cupcakes) in both regular and mini sizes. You can also go the custom route but there is a minimum order of 12. I did not opt for that only because this was for my virtual baby shower and I didn't need a dozen cupcakes all to myself, just for the decor. I ordered 6 of the regular sized ones in: The Intern, The Professional, Lemon Doodle and White Velvet. The box was nicely packaged and wrapped in saran wrap to preserve it in the fridge until it was time to display/eat. Coming to the taste of the cupcakes, I reallllyyy did not like the mouth feel of the frosting, but that's just me. It felt very greasy/oily in the mouth which I wasn't a fan of. While it wasn't exactly the cheap buttercream frosting that some of the grocery store bakeries have, it also was not like the cool, fluffy frosting with that delicate balance of sweet and creaminess- it just felt like I had a bunch of shortening in my mouth. The cake itself was underwhelming, not to be critical but I have had boxed cake mix that was more moist and flavorful. The cake flavors unfortunately were too bland to be anything noteworthy. The combination of the texture of the frosting and the dull cake flavors was not a win for me in the cupcake department. I will continue my search to find the perfect cupcake in Portland! If you're looking for something cute, reasonably priced and don't care so much about the cupcake flavor being generic, it's a great place. But if you're looking for a truly exceptional flavor/texture experience, perhaps this wouldn't be the top choice. Ultimately, my rating was based on the exceptional service I received and not the taste of the cupcake as much, because that's completely subjective and people have different preferences when it comes to what appeals to them personally.

    I'm going to keep this simple. These are the best cupcakes around. Fat Cupcake has a great variety of cupcakes including this one, The Charlie. Which is Chocolate Cake, a peanut butter cup baked inside, and peanut butter buttercream. The cupcakes are are always most, never dry. When you have the urge for a great cupcake, look no further. You won't be disappointed!

Crispy, airy, buttery and oh, so delicate, my raspberry cruffin was the dessert dreams are made of! If you've never had a cruffin... what are you waiting for?! It's croissant dough baked into a muffin shape. And the particular version I ordered today was filled with sweet and creamy vanilla custard and raspberry jelly. My mouth is watering describing this now, a true sign I'll be returning to experience this delicacy time and time again. There are three locations of Twisted Croissant in Portland, and this is the only one I've visited. The interior has a classic Parisian bakery vibe, clad in white subway tile from floor to ceiling. The bakery case in front of the store is beautifully stocked with fresh pastries, perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee or tea. However, be advised, there are only two tables in the back of their public space, so it's not particularly inviting space to sit and enjoy your breakfast. Given the location, I assume there is outdoor seating in the summer months, but don't quote me on that. Regardless, run here if you haven't been. These baked goods are worth the visit!

If you can't finish the croissants day of, make sure to retoast them in the toaster oven! It will still be buttery and flakey and delicious!

This…read moretime around, the day we after we arrived in the city, the owners announced that they would be closing permanently as of Dec 28, 2026. Sad times! JinJu is my favorite bakery of the year and we had already planned a visit over the weekend before the news ever hit. We drove on over on Sunday for one last hurrah. Oh my god the line. We got there a bit over 15 minutes before opening, figuring that things wouldn't be too bad, but by that time the line stretched down the block, around the corner, and almost to the alleyway. I counted 70 people in line ahead of us. By the time the bakery opened at 8AM, there were at least another 60+ people in line after us, marching further down all the way to Vancouver Ave. Insane line. We didn't reach the door until after 9AM and then it took another 10 minutes or so to get to the front of the line. Our total wait was 1.5 hours and it was still worth the effort in my opinion. By the time we got to the front, the Ham, Bacon & Gruyere and whatever was in the bottom left case (Almond?) were already out of stock. The Butter and Chocolate were both running low with perhaps 10 pieces left of each. While the operation is winding down, the quality is still as high as ever. We went with our old standbys - the Butter Croissant, Chocolate Croissant, Spinach Feta Tart, and Morning Bun, all just as good as I remembered. I'm not even going to describe them again since they were pretty much 100% identical to my first two visits (for those curious, refer to my previous review). Portland is really losing something special. I hope Jin and Q take a well deserved long vacation and then open another concept in the near future! PS: After our multiple visits, I was never able to obtain their Almond Croissant. That's definitely my white whale, never to be achieved at this point!
