Gross Confection recently announced on social media they would be shutting down the bar/desserts service while remaining open as a bakery. My wife and I came here many a times for an end cap to the night for one last drink and delicious and beautifully made desserts. From times in their dimly lit space that gave off romantic vibes or even enjoying our desserts in the summer sun outside people watching, every time will be remembered. Timing worked out well and we were doing a staycation in Portland and knew we needed to add a stop here one last time. Thankfully we got our names in on the waiting list early enough Friday and got sat as one of the last tables. We each had one last phenomenal drink; my wife and Apricot 75 that had a great tart kick of apricot and lemon. While I enjoyed their Chai Fashioned which spelt like a chai but had that boozy bourbon warming you'd expect. Dessert wise everything sounded good as always but we settled on two. The Goat Cheesecake and Pineapple Cake. The cheesecake was the perfect sweetness without being cloying and the blueberry sorbet on top paired so well. The pineapple cake was moist and tasted so good we needed to scrap the plate clean. I'm sad that Portland is losing this amazing dessert space but glad it's not a complete goodbye since they'll operate the bakery still! If you somehow read this today and have the chance make it in for one last visit tonight before they close their doors!

I wandered into The Bar of Chocolate Café in Portland, Maine, expecting a cozy little cocoa shrine…read moreand left convinced they should rename it The Bar of "Good Luck Walking Straight." I ordered only a chocolate martini, just one, and somehow it tasted like a grown-up milkshake, a sweet silky potion that whispered, "Calories don't count if you drink them." The first sip was like being hugged by a truffle; the second sip was like that truffle winking and rearranging my weekend plans. By the halfway mark, I was negotiating with my brain about whether I needed dinner or just another round of dessert disguised as alcohol. The bartender smiled knowingly, clearly aware that this drink could turn a responsible adult into a giddy cocoa pirate. Four stars because my sweet tooth is still filing a restraining order, dangerously delicious and almost too tempting for its own good.

I decided to stop in and order take out. There were a lot of call-in tickets ahead of me and a few tables already waiting for their orders. She let me know it would be about 30 minutes. No problem. I was able to look over everything while waiting before settling into a very comfy leather chair right next to the door. Great vantage point to see all of the amazing treats they sell. They have donuts, scones, muffins, turnovers and dozens of fudge flavors!! I ordered a couple of donuts to go along with a blueberry turnover. SO GOOD!!! The donuts were perfectly fluffy and sweet and the turnover, flakey fruity and perfect! Great - fresh made to order breakfast sandwiches on a biscuit. They are satisfying - so tasty and filling! They are hearty. The couple that owns and runs this business are down to earth and authentic. I loved listening to them work together, it made me laugh when they had a disagreement, she apologized when I went to pick up and pay for my order. I told her, no need, it was like I was at a family home with real people having real conversations. I highly recommend this business and I look forward to using up the rest of my gift card and once that is done, I will be back for more yummy food.

They also have a refrigerator sections with slices of pies, macaroons, and other treats all packed and ready to go. The service is very friendly, and it feels like you're stepping into a neighborhood shop where everyone knows each other...very welcoming vibe. The day me and my family stopped in, we were hungry for breakfast. We tried the pumpkin spice crumble muffin, the bacon/egg/cheddar on a croissant sandwich, and a cinnamon maple something pastry. All of it was DELICIOUS! All very fresh and made with love. The breakfast sandwich was one of the best I've had...the bacon and cheese was high quality, and the flavors blended so beautifully. There are a few things tables, and a couple of comfy chairs for eating in. We will definitely go back.

And I love Spenceresque type of stores (If you didn't grow up with a Spencer's- think jokey/quirky items, funny socks, etc...) But we really came for the ice cream. I saw a photo of the candy dandy milkshake and I knew we had to stop here. A little disappointed there wasn't more milkshake options but I guess enough. The Candy Dandy was enough for 3 people (although my 3 year old totally thought it was all for him!) It would not have been my first choice but I did enjoy the frosting on the rim of the cup (this was my favorite part.) It was fun! The staff were young and having a good time. Also, very clean establishment and ample parking. Even offer outdoor seating with a nice view.

The menu is a great mix of drinks, desserts, and dessert-drink combos. A group of 5 of us arrived and waited about 10 minutes for spots at the bar. The inside is pretty small but optimized with both bar and booth seating. The decor is so cute and whimsical. I loved all of the details! The desserts are pricey (most are around $15-20), but the portions are big enough to share with at least 1 other person. I got the Chocolate Chip Cookie Royale, which really hit the sweet-salty spot with a warm choc chip cookie, salty sweet cream ice cream, salted caramel, sesame brittle, and tahini whipped cream. The savorier elements allowed me to keep eating and not get overwhelmed by sweetness. My friends got the vegan peach crumble and chocolate cake and enjoyed theirs as well. Come with your sweet tooth, and leave happy and satisfied!

When I lived in the Canary Islands of Spain I had a few guilty pleasures: topless beaches, red wine…read morethat cost less than €1, and gofres. Gofres are these smaller, sweeter, denser waffles that taste delicious with either a drizzle of caramel OR a drizzle of vanilla icing (like what you get on top of cinnamon rolls). I had gofres every day walking to Parque Marítimo. I haven't had ANYTHING like it since coming back to the States, and that's been over a decade now. Segue... The Marshmallow Cart is just fun. Good, old fashioned, fun. It's good for kids. It's good for drunken twenty-somethings outside of Fore Street bars. It's good for tourists. It's good for those of us with a sweet tooth who need a fix but don't want to spend a lot of money. And it's good for those of us who like the idea of s'mores, but maybe don't want to purchase all the ingredients to make them ourselves, because... let's face it... there's always half a box of graham crackers leftover (and seriously, what does anyone ever do with those?). It's run by a staff of fun-loving folks. And they've got fire. So, basically, it appeals perfectly to most people's inner child. There's only two things that prevent me from giving The Marshmallow Cart full marks: 1. Marshmallows are typically made with gelatin. Gelatin is typically made from animal by-products (think bones, skin, and tendons). I don't know (but would update this in a heartbeat if I did) if The Marshmallow Cart makes their marshmallow's with gelatin or if they're vegetarian-friendly and use guar gum, agar agar, or pectin. That being said, as a vegetarian, I'm not exactly rushing to get back here for this particular product. 2. THE WAFFLES ARE DELICIOUS. They sooooooo remind me of my Spanish gofres, but... The Marshmallow Cart doesn't have icing for them. I think the only options are marshmallow or nutella. Allow me a Veruca Salt moment, if you will: I WANT ICING. AND I WANT IT NOW. I would come out of my way for this if it was available. Maybe I should just start carrying my own bottle of it around in my purse? The point... if you like marshmallows (and don't have a plant-based diet), s'mores, waffles (sans icing), fire, and smiling... The Marshmallow Cart will not disappoint.
