    a shelf full of various products
    Jason V.

    Not only is this cute confectioner collating and curating a considerable collection of chocolates cultivated from all corners of the globe, they're also seemingly informed and knowledgeable about each item stocking their shelves. Even from the brief interactions we had with the counter clerk (whom I suspect was also the owner), every question we asked was answered, accompanied by suggestions, the layout and organization of the store was explained to us, samples were offered (and enjoyed), and we ended up walking out with a variety of delectable things each tailored to the particular tastes of each member of our party! Additionally, you'll find an almost overwhelming selection of salts and spices, bitters and books, candies and candles, among other goodies tucked away in every corner. Even someone as sugar-averse as myself walked away with a high-cacao & red chili bar and some seasoning salts, but anyone with a sweet tooth (or not) owes it to themselves to pop into the Meadow and pick the sweetest-smelling (or tasting) treat tailored to their treat their taste buds!

    This cute little shop, sales salt and hand made chocolate. Loved the vibe and cute lady working here. A bit pricy but very unique flavors of chocolates that you cant find anywhere else.

    They have like a thousand different chocolates, ok that's maybe an exaggeration, but they probably realistically have over a hundred different kinds of chocolate to choose from. They are sourced globally and all looked quite enticing, some even have pretty wild flavors like spicy Sichuan flavor. We got some of my favorite Mexican stone ground chocolate and some local filbert (hazelnut's Oregon name) chocolate. They also have good selection of exotic salt and vinegar and other cool stuff. Great to see.

    This is a specialty store for chocolate, salt, bitters, and other delicious things. We try to stop by here whenever we're in town. There are shelves of chocolate bars, organized based on dark chocolate, milk chocolate, local, snd which ones have e inclusions. I decided to try a couple new bars and grabbed a couple Venchi Baciodidama chocolates. They're these chocolates with a gluten free hazelnut wafer in the center and they're addictingly good. My partner picked up a few different bitters to try, and a friend with us grabbed a couple chocolate bars too. There are so many options here and everyone was incredibly helpful when we had questions.

    The Meadow showcased a diverse range of products, including an entire wall dedicated to chocolates, salts sourced from various corners of the world, and an assortment of different products like flowers and enticing candies. Recommend checking this place out.

    The store has got a cute dreamy vibe about it . The huge windows give you a good glimpse of the offerings and you feel drawn inside .They specialize in artisan salts , specialty chocolate bars, bitters and other gourmet items for the bar and kitchen ,Some selection of Oregon and European wines and vermouths ,a full service floristry and books on food and salts . These could make great gifts and/or when you want to treat yourself to the finer things. But the prices are a tad bit higher in my opinion. I have bought a few chocolates and bitters etc. from here but nothing has ever impressed me much . If I am buying $12 chocolate bar /$30 bitters ,I would really expect amazing taste or something unique but the items that I had purchased were alright and nothing that would blow your mind . Its just not good value in my humble opinion . The staff is friendly and sweet and always welcoming . Their flower selection is exquisite and makes the whole store smell fantastic.

    A little chocolate pistachio treat- yum!

    I had visited before a few years ago, so I was pleased to be able to visit today! The clerk was amazing especially as it was pretty busy plus she was busy trying to clean up after a customer who had accidentally dropped an item. They have a great selection of chocolates plus lots of other condiments, but my reason for coming was the salt! I have a couple that I bought last time, and so I thought I'd try another along with a few chocolates. I chose a Halen Môn Gold Salt from Wales which has a light smoke flavor that will be perfect with the baguette I bought from one of the bakery's in the area. Be sure to stop by when you are in the area- and try some of the popcorn with truffle salt!!

    Salt Blocks!

    Loved visiting this place and will have to go back! The wall of chocolate alone is reason enough to visit! The chocolate covers so many regions and all the possible options you could want in a chocolate bar. The also have a wide ranging salt and bitters collection to pick from. The cooking salt blocks are very reasonably priced and great selection.

    Love this place!

    This shop is a MUST for tasty treats! I was a bit overwhelmed by all of the options but the nicest associate name Charlotte helped answer all of our questions and gave us the BEST recommendations. The Chocolat Cafe-Tasse 's Blanc & Cafe is white chocolate and coffee bliss... and then for dark chocolate lovers, there is a Askinosie rasberry & milk chocolate bar that melts in your mouth good! Also, all of the individual chocolates at the register? Get them. They were so fun to try and every single one of them were delectable. And I didn't even get to all of the beautiful salt rocks throughout the store... Thanks again to Charlotte for being so sweet to us, out-of-towners - you helped make our first trip to Oregon [deliciously] memorable!

    Sandra S.

    Great spot for chocolate lovers. They carry the LA based Compartes chocolate bars which I haven't been able to find anywhere else other than directly from the company's website. It is a smaller space so it can get crowded but otherwise great assortment of different chocolates to choose from!

    So many cool salt cubes, dishes, etc
    Lacey T.

    You know when you go to a business, and it's just yours? Like, if someone was designing a gift shop with me very specifically in mind, they could do only little to improve on The Meadow. First, it is located on a particularly dreamy and perfect-for-strolling street. Pretty even from the outside, with a big window and old-fashioned gold lettering adorning the glass. The interior is small, but an appropriate size for what's on offer, and even features wooden shelving and a rolling ladder à la Beauty and The Beast (I know this was real thing before that, but it brings to mind the beloved cartoon, and that makes me very happy). Now, gift shops can veer toward cheesy, but a majority of The Meadow's offerings consist of two of my favorite things: chocolate and salt. How can you go wrong? The bulk of the salt is in the form of pink Himalayan blocks, serving dishes, and their ilk (even a mortar and pestle!!!!). I feel like these blocks have sort of seen their heyday at this point, but if The Meadow can still sell 'em then good on them. I already have a block, otherwise would have purchased one as I still think they are dang cool, and priced reasonably here. They also had a whole span of artisanal sea and flavored salts. Chocolate was mostly craft, with some candy bars and other treats snuck in. Additional offerings included MANY bitters, small gifts, cookbooks, etc. Prices are in line with anywhere else selling these products, and worth it for a superior find. Even if you don't buy anything, it is worth stopping by simply to revel in The Meadow's magnificence.

    This is a well stocked chocolate and salt (yes, salt) store in a pricey neighborhood. The quirky library bookcases decor fits in with the neighborhood and is fun and visually appealing. The curated selection of craft chocolate bars is great. They carry local Portland makers, as well as others from makers around the world. This is good chocolate, but it's also the kind of chocolate where every bar is not for everybody. Craft chocolate brings out the unique tastes of each cocoa bean origin, and this is a good place to experience that and decide which origins (countries and plantations) you like. You may also find the same cocoa beans processed by different craft makers taste different, so this is a great place to learn which makers you prefer. The salt and salt blocks are an interesting companion to sell in the same location as chocolate. A little odd, but hey, if it works for them then good for them. You should visit this store if you live in Portland or are here to visit the town. It deserves your support, and you deserve good chocolate. Go here! Often.

    This was definitely for me! Haha

But when our server was with us, they were very nice and patient with my questions and requests. It's a bit loud when the place is on the full side, making it difficult to have a conversation. I wouldn't bring my girlfriend who is hard of hearing, at least with a group. I'd be curious to try more of the menu. I was very much not wowed by the breakfast. The beverages were however very nice, and I recently had the cobbler dessert and it looked amazing and tasted better. We had the coffee (Extracto, love.), I had a really good hef and my mother a very well balanced Bellini that I was very pleasantly surprised with trying. From what I saw, the lunch sounds very good and I'd be more apt to recommend folks give that a shot if they happened to be going there too. I'm not sure if I'd recommend as a must go stop. Vibe wise, the ambience is overall really nice. I think having rolled flatware, even with just upgraded napkins, would better complete the aesthetic you initially see and feel. This would also connect with the price point of the food and quality of the beverages. As a fellow server, on that note I would expect more consistent stronger visual appearance standards with servers. (Sorry guys! But some of you looked great!) Overall, I'd definitely join a friend for coffee and lunch over there in the future. Just wouldn't be my top pick for a celebratory brunch or intimate dinner with a date or friends and fam.

And for good reasons! The flavors, taste and experience are truly phenomenal. I typically try to visit during the day so that there isn't a long line. If you come anytime after 6 PM, expect to wait a while. It's just that good! The staff is always incredibly friendly and they will let you sample as many flavors as you like before you decide. They have standard staples for flavors and then seasonal ones that rotate every few months. This particular location has very little seating so you should plan to take yours to go. I recommend enjoying it while you stroll on NW 23rd. Otherwise, the staff will be happy to pack up a scoop for you and/or you can take a pint to go! Parking is a typical challenge for this area, but prices are reasonable and you can't beat the service. My favorite part of the experience is that first step into the front door when I smell the fresh waffle cones being made. From beginning to end, it's a scrumptious culinary experience that can't be missed.

Since 1978, this beloved NW 23rd treasure has been spoiling Portlanders with the kind of desserts that make you close your eyes on the first bite.

Our server was warm, unhurried, and genuinely helpful in helping us choose between an impossible array of beautiful options. We settled on the Chocolate Raspberry Torte -- a rich chocolate crust filled with silky chocolate mousse, crowned with glistening fresh raspberries and a ribbon of raspberry sauce -- and the Chocolate Truffle Cake, a towering masterpiece of dark layers, ganache, and a cloud of whipped cream. Decadent and delightful don't begin to cover it. What makes Papa Haydn extraordinary is that behind every dessert is a real story -- a Berlin baker's family recipes, a sculptor sister who turned pastry into art, a dream that has now spanned generations and 700 tons of chocolate. That history lives in every bite. If you haven't been, go. If you have, go again. Portland is lucky to have them.
