Best of Both Valentines Sundae
Rebecca B.

This place is great! The staff is super nice and the treats are really tasty. It's just like an ice cream shop, but there are options for scoops of cookie dough. I thought I could handle the cookie dough, but it is so rich and sweet I could barely finish my sundae. If you are a huge cookie dough person this is a must try! My husband who doesn't really like cookie dough even liked it.

Perfect spot if you LOVE Cookie Dough! Just like an ice cream shop is this Cookie Dough Cafe located in downtown Portland. It smells really good just like cookies and you can choose your cookie dough flavors and it eat just like ice cream. Workers are super friendly, lots of different options of sizes and flavors to purchase cookie dough. You can even eat the cookie dough straight from there! I don't think I paid attention or know if people actually try to bake the cookie dough with their leftovers. But a fun spot and nice sweet treat if you're looking for a pick me up! We got the birthday cake cookie dough and it was great. There are even options to get cookie dough and ice cream as well as additional toppings. There isn't much street parking but typical city parking around the shop.

Our flight into Portland arrived late and we got to our hotel even later, so I decided to just stay in and DoorDash a couple things. This place was presented as an add-on to my main order and since it was on my list of places to try, I went ahead and ordered a couple scoops of the cookies n' cream. To put it simply, it was super good. I'm normally not a fan of cookie dough but the cookies n' cream flavor was super tasteful. I would definitely order again.

I was shocked when I saw this place on Google Maps because I could have sworn I saw this concept on Shark Tank a long time ago. And I was right! Turns out they didn't end up closing the deal as it seemed on the show. The actual desserts are FANTASTIC!! We were in Portland for only 4 days and ate here for all 4 days. I loved the original cookie dough and Oreo + cookie dough flavors, paired with the cookies & cream ice cream. It wasn't busy any of the 4 times we went, so service was fast and I was able to talk to them about the history of the business. Ambiance is relaxed and seemed good for a date night. Easy parking right in front. Prices were very fair and the cup was big enough for two to enjoy. I loved it and wish it was nationwide. It could be very successful!

Brownie batter doughwich and m&m cookie

A small cookie shop in downtown Portland. A little too sweet but super satisfying to eat. I ordered the Doughwich and my fiancé ordered just the M&M cookie. Although not pictured, it is a sweet skinny cookie with a bunch of M&Ms for you to bite into. The Doughwich is just batter mushed into a sandwich with ice cream in the middle. The Doughwich is already premade as they keep this frozen in the back. This dessert option comes in a few flavors. You do not get to pick the ice cream flavor, only the dough sandwich part. I sadly dont remember the rest but two of the options i debated were the Brownie Batter and the M&M cookie dough. As pictured, i chose the Brownie Batter, which sandwiched a sweet and tart raspberry flavor. I will have to come back again to try the rest of the dessert options. So far the Doughwich has won my heart and will come back to try the M&M cookie dough flavor.

Cookie dough served like ice cream! I know! I'm in! At least I thought I was in. I think they do a great job and offer a cool product... in fact it's one that I had thought I would love. Turns out... I don't really want to eat that much cookie dough. I was "Doughed Out" after a few bites. A great concept and worth a try, and for those of you who need cookie dough served with a side of more cookie dough I think you will love it. I'll give a 4 star on the unique idea but a 3 star for my pallets. For me, I'll get ice cream next time.

It takes $0 to be nice to someone and wow this place delivered on that!! Special shout out to Ella for taking her time to get to know my friend and I, while explaining the cookie dough and ice cream selection. She also was able to recommend some nearby fried chicken places when I mentioned I love fried chicken. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! She's the sweetest and never rushed us while we made our decisions. My friend ended up deciding on ice cream while I opted for cookie dough. They have a handful of flavors each for you to choose from. The cookie dough is obviously heavier, so if you're looking for something light, I'd go with ice cream. The scoops are $3.50 each. Definitely coming back for some sweets before we leave town!

Yum! Looking for a quick dessert place on the way home from dinner downtown. Was happy to find this place still open and find friendly staff and yummy cookie dough. Everything was clean, staff was wearing masks and gloves and very friendly. The best combo we liked was one cookie dough scoop and one ice cream. Otherwise, the 2 scoop of dough was too sweet.

everything cookie dough with coffee ice cream
Emily O.

This place is SO good! we came here for some dessert after having lunch down the street. I got half coffee ice cream and everything cookie dough. The dough was the perfect consistency and went great with the ice cream. Big shout out to the employee who was working at the time. I unfortunately did not catch her name. She was so sweet to us, and while we were in there a homeless woman came in and was borderline harassing her, and she handled it SO well. We weren't really sure what to do, but another employee came out from the back and was there with her. Will absolutely be back!

Holy goddamn what a place. Pastries were perfect & unreal, not of this plane, i am not worthy. I…read morewas so delighted by the lemon poppyseed pull apart croissant. Wickedly creative & so delicious. I could actually enjoy & appreciate the poppyseed flavor too. How cool is that. We also had a passion fruit doughnut which was utterly exquisite. Flaky & tangy & juicy. So freaking amazing. & lastly the pear crostata. Again just an outta this world flavor profile w perfect pastry. There were like 10 more things to try too. A special special dreamy place. If i was a local i would be a regular.

We visited Twisted Croissant to pick up some treats to tide us over on our drive back up to…read moreSeattle. Walking in less than an hour before closing, we were surprised to see most of the items still in stock! We ended up picking four things to try: Vanilla Bean Kouign Amann ($7) - This pasty has a sweet yet salty exterior that's complementary in flavor rather than clashing. It's accentuated with a crunchy glazed and caramelized sugar layer that's on the sweeter side. The interior is interesting. There's a cavernous gap right in the center that's filled with a sickly sweet melted sugar syrup. It's unpleasantly sweet and very cloying. The puffed and filled area is large enough that it compresses the other layers so the kouign amann is dense. I've never had a kouign amann quite this sweet before. (3/5) Meyer Lemon Olive Oil Cake with Thyme ($5.50) - This cake is so moist and rich, thick and dense, fatty and rich, that it feels like I"m eating a slab of butter. I'm sure it has just as many calories too! It's quite sweet, although not nearly to the level of the kouign amann. Overall, it's just a really rich and decadent cake. (4/5) Blueberry + Vanilla Cream Brioche Donut w/ Earl Grey ($6) - The top of the pastry is dressed with a cream that has an unmistakably strong bergomot earl grey taste. I wish there was way more cream - there's essentially only a dab on top! The rest of the donut is filled with a custardy light blueberry and vanilla jam. It's not too sweet and has an excellent high quality blueberry fragrance, creating an exceptionally strong blueberry taste. The jam is not too thick and is somewhat syrupy from sugar. The donut itself is really soft and extremely airy. It's the fluffiest donut I've eaten in a long time. (5/5) Raspberry Rose Cruffin ($8.50) - This pastry has some fun dehydrated raspberries sprinkled right on top of a light and fluffy cream that's not too sweet. The cruffin base is buttery in taste and great lamination even when filled with the custard and rose/raspberry cream. This is a heavy cruffin that's very filling. (5/5) Twisted Croissant certainly does some some really delectable treats. It's one of my favorite bakeries in Portland!

Holy pie! How does one write a review for the best pie shop and bakery one has ever been to? I…read moresuppose it's one word at a time. So here we go... I've heard about Lauretta Jean's pies for quite some time but have never actually made it inside to get me some and when I finally did make it in, it wasn't pie that I ordered. Overwhelmed by the fabulous display of baked goods that erupted in my face as I entered through the door, I did the one thing I said to myself I wasn't going to do - I ordered something other than pie. Ok, well now, I guess I just have to go back because I know there's some pie there calling my name. Cute and adorable, Lauretta Jean's is all it's reputation makes it out to be. Service was friendly and came with a smile. Ordering my chocolate cream puff was easy and quick, even with a short line ahead of me, and I downed that delectable treat so fast it made my head spin. I wish I'd gone back and gotten some pie as well but hey, you know that just means I have to return. Check out some of the kinds of pies: salted honey, lemon chess, chocolate honeycomb, tart cherry and more. As well as pies, there were brownies, cookies, scones, biscuits, rugalach and more fabulous items filling the display case. Quick - go get you some! And have an espresso to top it off! You won't be disappointed.

I came here right after having a big breakfast, so I didn't get many things. Definitely regretted…read morethat after returning to Seattle. Service was nice. This place seemed so popular, like a cute bakery breakfast shop where you can get some sweet treats for brunch with friends on the weekend. My brownie was huge and heavy. But I only had literally two bites and forgot its existence, and left it sitting in the hotel fridge. All I can say is, it was a good brownie, sweet, chocolatey and dense, it didn't disappoint me.

And it could have easily fed three to four for lunch. And sauce a great combo of flavors! We opted for the non-sesame bread (I'm not a big sesame fan).

Their jalapeño cheesy bread is a standout for me - it has a spicy kick. I've also enjoyed their Mexican desserts. The lines at their market stalls usually stretch down the block, which says a lot about how popular their offerings are. I recently stopped by the brick and mortar location on SE Stark. While I enjoyed the sandwich I tried, prices were definitely on the higher side. The space itself could have used a midday cleanup - they were quite a few crumbs on the floor and some chairs left out of place. I got the Get Him To The Greek half-sandwich, as well as a full sandwich of their special (forgetting the name now). I will definitely come back when I'm in the area and looking for lunch or when I spot them at a market!
