I love Tillamook cheese! When I heard that they were in the airport, I was hoping that they would…read morebe on the way to my gate. They were. They had a nice food counter at the back of the store, with a lot of different items. I would've been glad to go for a grilled cheese with tomato soup, if I had not already just eaten at the airport lounge. The place smelled good. I hear sometimes they have samples available, this time they didn't. Besides the food counter, they did have a good amount of their cheese available, in both blocks and bags. I got two bags, a black pepper cheese, and a cheese curds, both for only 11 bucks, and that was before the military/veterans discount. Those aren't airport prices, those are street prices. I was very pleased. I tried both of my cheese when I got home. You could definitely taste the black pepper, but it didn't over power the cheese. They played very well together. The cheese curds were creamy, with a little bit of the "squeak" that you expect with a good cheese curd. A great store, worth a stop. Thanks.

This place is so cute and it totally fits the Oregon vibe. The store is decorated like a campsite…read moreand everything is camping related from top to bottom. Their main specialty here are the s'mores and it comes in different flavors. They have some unique ones like monkey business, the green thumb and even a berry one. They are quite expensive as their special ones are $6.50. I got the monkey business which was a special one and it comes with two graham crackers that are not like the ones that you see in stores they're marshmallows are vanilla flavored, and the monkey business one came with chocolate and fresh bananas inside of it. There's no seating so you have to stand in the store to eat it there is one straight ledge of a table, but it might get taken up if the store is busy. You just order at the kiosk in the front and they take Apple Pay and credit cards. Overall, this is a great experience to just be in that ambience which really fits the Oregon vibe. It is pretty pricey so I probably won't come visit this place again.

My friends and I stumbled on this place during our trip to Portland and were so excited -- as a…read moretotal s'mores lover, this spot did not disappoint! The whole vibe is so fun and immersive, like stepping into a cozy campsite indoors. We loved being able to pick from all the different flavor combos on the menu. So many fun options beyond your classic s'more! The marshmallow was perfectly toasted, gooey, and melty in every bite, and the staff behind the counter were friendly. If you're ever in Portland and have a sweet tooth, this is such a fun, unique stop. We already can't wait to go back and try more flavors next time!

I also tried their cheeseburger and it did not disappoint! The burger had the perfect crispy edges, the cheese was melty and delicious, and something about that perfectly toasted bun just brought everything together. Simple, classic, and done SO well. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area! I'll absolutely be back!

We rolled into Cascade Locks on a Sunday in July, the kind of Gorge afternoon where everyone within…read morefifty miles has the same idea: get out, get sun, get a burger. Eastwind Drive-In sits right on Wa Na Pa Street, red and white building, that iconic soft serve and hamburger sign swinging out front like it's been doing this since before any of us were born. And it has. The line was out the door and down the sidewalk by 3pm, easy thirty minute wait, and nobody seemed to mind. That tells you something before you even taste the food. We ordered the double bacon cheeseburger, and it did not disappoint. Real griddled beef, two patties, melted cheddar doing exactly what melted cheddar should do, crisp lettuce, all of it stacked on a sesame bun that held together through the whole ordeal, which matters more than people think when you're eating standing up in a parking lot with a dog giving you the full guilt trip. Speaking of: we took our food down to the park by the lake, picnic tables under the trees, and Willow, our English lab, decided that burger was the single most important object in the entire state of Oregon. Nose right up against it, patient as a saint, working every angle. She didn't get any. She deserved some. That's the tension of loving a good dog and a good burger at the same time. Prices are fair for what you get, hamburger starts under seven dollars, the shakes and soft serve looked like the real draw for half the line, and the menu board out front covers everything from tater tots to Italian cream soda, which is a detail I did not expect and now can't stop thinking about. If you're passing through Cascade Locks, Eastwind Drive-In is worth the wait. Bring cash patience, bring an appetite, and if you bring a dog, be ready to share eye contact you won't win.

We came on a Saturday about 40 minutes before closing and had about a 10-15 minute wait. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I'm usually not a huge donut person, but I really enjoyed the smaller size of these. It made it easy to try several different flavors without feeling like it was too much, and I loved the variety. I also tried their chai matcha special and really enjoyed it! I will definitely bring friends or family who are visiting to try these out!

Still, kudos for being one of the few businesses that have a birthday special (no longer "freebie").

I've walked past Croffle Crew at Clackamas Town Center a few times thinking, "Man, that looks…read morefancy. I'm gonna have to try that." Well, today I finally stopped and apparently my taste buds had been waiting on me. I went with the avocado toast and salmon lox, and let me tell you, that avocado was amazing. Everything on that thing worked together perfectly. The croffle had that waffle-like texture, but it didn't overpower anything. It was just the right amount of crispy, savory, creamy, and delicious. I ate that thing like I had somewhere important to be... which I didn't. The food came out in less than two minutes, which is faster than I can decide what I actually want to order. The inside was clean, fresh, open, and simple. Nothing over-the-top or trying too hard. It felt like a place where you could actually sit down, relax, and enjoy your food without somebody blasting music into your soul. And the crew? Great people. The gal working the counter had me laughing my ass off while I was ordering. I don't even remember exactly what the joke was, but apparently she was funnier than my breakfast, and that's saying something because this avocado toast was putting on a comedy special of its own. Five stars. Great food, quick service, clean atmosphere, friendly people, and a croffle that made me wonder why I waited so long to stop. I walked past this place several times thinking it looked good. Turns out, it wasn't just looking good it was damn good.

This charming little gem has opened recently in the last year in a nook behind the Clackamas mall…read more And it is an absolute delight. It is a very open space with high ceilings. Although it is mostly composed of white shades, there's a calming mint color to contrast, with small pops of pink. At certain times of the day, it can be particularly busy, and the noise levels can be high. There is a combination of both sweet and savory options. The food is centered around croissant dough being formed into waffle shapes. When my coworker and I went, it was during the February special, which premiered certain flavored croffle and drinks for a limited time. One of the types we had was the Burrata & Prosciutto. The creamy burrata, the salty, satiny layers of prosciutto, contrasted with the sharp and sweet notes of the balsamic glaze was mouthwatering. The croissant base made for a great vehicle for the toppings, being soft in the center, and flaky on the exterior. The Nutella, Strawberries & Bananas Croffle was an instant classic, albeit a little heavy on the Nutella, since they stuffed some more of it in the interior of the croffle. The seasonal Berry in Love was absolutely fantastic. The fresh berries and house-made compote with the slightly sweetened whip was not heavy on the palate at all. For the drinks, we got the Sweetheart Latte, which was a light blend of rose and vanilla. The Blushing Matcha was incredibly smooth and earthy with notes of tangy raspberry bits over foam. Overall, it was a great experience. Both the food and drink are excellent. But expect prices to be more on the expensive side. The staff was also informative and hard at work behind the counter. I have already been back to this establishment a couple of times.

I also tried the Koki Koki Blend coffee, which was smooth and not acidic, just how I like it. My friend got the matcha soft serve. The staff explained that the matcha didn't have any syrup or sweetener added. The slightly bitter matcha blended really well with the sweetness of the soft serve.

Whew! Loved Cheese & Crack Snack Shop and will be thinking about it for a long time to come =')…read more Came here from a recommendation from a friend as an afternoon snack. Hubs & I shared the Beecher's & Brie Brulee and The Cheese & Crack Sundae. The Beecher's & Brie Brulee was honestly very good and shareable for 2 people. I've been a bit obsessed with brulee cheese since having it in Italy, but rarely see it anywhere so I was excited to see it here! And it was delish. Like an adult's lunchables, you can build your own sweet or salty or savory bite! Yum! The Cheese & Crack Sundae was delicious Vanilla Soft-Serve with a chocolate ganache and toasted marshmallow that make it like a s'more ice cream sundae. Really loved it, as it was *not to sweet* and I loved the toasted marshmallow bites. Service was fairly quick. They have one unisex restroom that was fairly clean. Parking is easy (street parking) if you don't mind walking a little.

Visited on a Wednesday night, thinking maybe there wouldn't be a long line, but I was surely wrong!…read moreWaited about 25-30 minutes, but I felt that it was worth it (for once!). The cones are $4 and you have the option to add flavored "dust" such as espresso, matcha, beet, and malt. My wife chose the malt dust with an added chocolate cowboy hat. She was very pleased with, but found the ganache at the bottom of the cone entirely too rich. Each cone offers a large amount of ice cream, and there did not appear to be sizes, but all in all, a very instagrammable and delicious cone. I opted for the banana pudding sundae, which consisted of the vanilla soft service and banana pudding topped with two Nilla wafers. I do this this could be a bit improved by adding Nilla wafers throughought the cup, but it was creamy and satisfied the sweet tooth nonethless. The indoor space was cozy with a few seats either facing the kitchen or the window. There's also an outdoor platform that most people opted for since the line really made inside feel crowded. Staff was friendly and delivered orders accurately in spite of crowds. I would love to return to cheese plates and/or the brie & marionberry sammy. Would 100% recommend if you're looking for a sweet treat with both traditional and more creative flavor profiles.

Shiba Inu, Mochi and yes. I saw some comments about prices being on the higher side. I recognize what people are saying. It's unfortunate that so many things seem to be getting out of reach of many Americans.

I'm old school and we managed to both save and invest during our working lives. And now in retirement, we still don't spend like there's no tomorrow. If we can't afford something, we just don't do it.
