This past summer, i cannot recall the number of times we had stopped by this Cuppa Yo location. It…read moreseems to be a local favorite and I can see why. I'd say mainly because there isn't much going on in North Plains. But here's a little bit about Cuppa Yo: = Location / Parking = It's only about a quarter mile away off the Glencoe exit, in the newer shops area of North Plains. Plenty of parking. Only be aware of the indoor daycare center next to it. Actually, that's perfect... Feed the kids froyo and drop them off all hyped up and crazy at daycare haha! = Tha FRO and YO Toppings = They have your typical vanilla, milk chocolate, strawberry shortcake, dole whip, and tart. But really love the fact that when I've been here they would rotate flavors with things like salted caramel, root beer, cake batter, coffee, and a good mix of fruity sorbet types from berries to tropical POGs. And I'm pretty sure I've seen some gelato flavors too. I mean for me, it's like a new visit every time! As for toppings, they've got plenty! From cereals to waffle bits. Boba, cheesecake, crushed candy bars, peanut butter chips, fresh chopped fruits, to mochi, to nuts, and a nice variety of sauces! You name it, it's likely there! Pricing is by the ounce, so typically with a large and small cup, I know we've spent between $15 to $20 total (with tip). Really not too bad, in my opinion. Plus i like utilizing the Square point system. = Service = The kids running the place have been welcoming and receptive. Never have I seen them mad or bored or on their phone ignoring people. They keep the toppings area clean, and I've seen them wipe down tables and mop the flooring. Sorry, I'm just observant with these things. But trust me, I've been to some nasty Menchie locations, like the one off 185th, which is simply "bleh gross!" = TL;DR = Go back to the top and READ my review! This may be a franchise location, but I know I've ran into the owners who seem really nice. Plus they run this place well. Therefore, I'm in support of these guys 100%!!!

This was our first time visiting and it's in the perfect location after a morning of fun play at…read moreHappy Play next door. When we entered, we were immediately greeted by the lovely staff that told us that the first Wednesday of the month is "No Weigh Wednesday" where there is a flat rate for both the small ($6) and big cup ($9) as long as content of the cup stays under the rim. What a great deal! The space is bright and open and filled with accents of fun colors - very appealing for the little kiddos. They had about 10 choices for froyo flavors from your classic vanilla and chocolate to seasonal and fun ones like the spicy watermelon sorbet and I'm sure there are other flavors on rotation as well. There is a wall of dry toppings bar filled with candy, cereal, waffle cone pieces but my favorite is the "wet" toppings bar filled with fresh fruit and boba and my favorite topping of all - tiny little mochi bites! I also love that they had different colors of these too! Another surprise was the color changing spoons and the little whimsical touch of finding the toy yoda scavenger hunt when you are enjoying your yummy froyo in the shop. Treat yourself to some froyo next time you're in the area!

La Provence is still a very solid breakfast/brunch place, especially out the burbs. The portions…read moreare still pretty hefty though prices have gone up over the years along with everywhere else. I avoid brunch on the weekends because it's just too busy and chaotic but weekdays are pretty nice. It's good, but not waiting for half hour good. I also come in pretty often for bread and pastries though you have to get in early or things will sell out. Service is always fine. I miss when they were open for dinner/happy hour because I liked their food back then.

On August 28th I was part of a larger (14) group planning on having breakfast to La Providence…read moreOrenco Station. As we dribbled in we found our table setup and waiting for us with paper menus at each place. Very nice except for the fact that the paper menus had no prices on them. Since they do not do separate checks, each of us needed to know the price of our breakfast (plus 20% gratuity) so we could give the correct amount to our group leader to pay the bill after the meal was done. There was some unpleasant discussion with the host about the menus and pricing and why we could not order from the regular menu. The hostess told us the kitchen could not handle large groups so we had to have a reduced menu...surprising since this has never happened at any of the other La Providences we have eaten at as a group. My feeling as were some of the others is we are certainly not valued here, and the kitchen is more important that the customer. Not a good way to start off the morning. The wait staff (very pleasant) took our orders and then in a short period of time began delivering our orders...I do take exception to the waitstaff handing the person their plate rather than sitting it in front of the person. This is never more apparent as when they tried to hand a blind man his plate which of course he could not see. How embarrassing and rude! My food came and after just three small bites I could no longer stomach the dish (Tiramisu French Toast). I stopped eating and pushed the plate away. I will note that another one in our group had the same dish and ate the entire thing. When the waitstaff came to clear our dishes, she asked me if I wanted a box. My reply was "no, the dish did not taste good". At that point she said "you should have told me and I would have gotten you something else". I was a bit indignant that she thought I should run her down somewhere in the restaurant to tell her about the bad food...it is her job to make sure everything is OK. (she never came by after serving the food to ask if everything was OK). So, my reward for sitting through the hostess abuse when we came into the restaurant and then being served inferior food was to pay full price for my three bites of food that upset my stomach plus a 20% gratuity. At the very least this meal should have been comped! This is just bad management all the way around. My family has been in the restaurant business for 50 plus years, if we treated out guests like this, they would never come back. AND I never will come back to this restaurant who is so disrespectful to the customer! Shame on you!!

Tous Les Jours is my all time favorite bakery and my go-to for any cakes.

The pastries are mostly light and mildly sweet, which I personally enjoy because I'm not much of a heavy, sugar-bomb style baked goods. If you like delicate flavors, this place hits. The service is really good and the ambiance is cute. My favorite's are here: Macarons (Specifically the pistachio & rose), red bean bread, and all the pastries. I tried their coffee couple of times, and it was really good. Overall, a must try if you haven't. I don't know anyone so far who doesn't like Tous Les Jours :P

I just wish this market was more of an actual legit market and less tourist gift shop vibe. On to the details of my visit: I'd been looking forward to a solid local market and this one had been on my radar for a while. Unfortunately this wasn't it. It felt more like a typical Oregon roadside tourist trap with the standard "Made in Oregon" stale chocolates, granola, sweets, etc. The produce sections was relatively tiny and only about half of it looked really good. The frozen meat sections was almost entirely out of red meat, there was a tiny amount of fish and then frozen chicken too. However, the prices are tourist gift shop too. Think $10/lb for asparagus, $18/lb for chicken thighs, $10 for a dozen chicken eggs, $14/lb for ground beef, etc. I eventually just looked through their baked goods and noted the bread was date stamped that it was baked 2 days prior and priced at for a $14 loaf of sourdough. My favorite Portland bakeries all offer freshly baked (as in that same day) sourdough and other loaves for $9-$12. Anyhow, I ended up choosing some local brownies and which looked good but ended up being chalky, dry and clearly several days old. I'd love to see a larger selection of prepared foods to enjoy on the pretty back patio too. They just had a bunch of those pre-packaged sandos & wraps like one finds in an airport. Why not add a little pizza oven and or grill for weekends? Anyhow, there's much potential with such a pretty place like this one but it isnt quite there enough for me to make the 30min drive from Portland again.

An enjoyable place to visit in rural Helvetia not far from Hillsboro, OR…read more Upon arriving, I was impressed by the beautiful large rosemary bush with lots of bees busy enjoying the lovely little lavender flowers blooming! When inside the large red shop, so many options of local food, beverage & handcrafted items for sale: cookies, pastries, candy, honey, fresh milk, meat, wine, coffee, sandwiches, chips & so much more. Once done wandering thru or shopping, there is the expansive views out back where one can picnic on the grass, sip some beverages or munch on goodies purchased inside. Also available are table & chairs on the side of the market structure that allows for looping back inside or towards the front parking lot. The grounds are nicely manicured with a variety of beautiful specimen plants to be in awe of. Hopefully you'll go with intent to slow down, relax, linger & enjoy this jewel of a place to visit. Be sure to check out their posted calendar of events as also available on their website.

We always order the round steak pho, and I usually ask for my steak raw on the side. The broth is incredibly clean, balanced, and full of rich beef flavor. It's easily my favorite pho broth in the area, and we've tried a lot of places. The vinegar garlic on the side is a must for building the perfect bite. The shrimp and pork salad rolls are always fresh with great peanut sauce, and the Vietnamese iced coffee is strong in the best way. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is family-owned, and you can really taste the love in the food. The space is always clean and well maintained. I live in Ridgefield, Washington, and whenever I come visit family in Hillsboro, this is the place I want to eat. This spot deserves to be way busier than it is. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out.

After eating lunch next door, I felt like having dessert. I had been to a Sesame Donuts on Scholl's…read moreFerry, and they had a case with vegan donuts. I was curious if this particular Sesame Donuts had vegan donuts. I was checking out the shelves and didn't find any donuts that were labeled vegan. I thought I would ask on the off chance that they did have some, not expecting it. I asked the gal at the counter, and she told me they had some in back and needed to add the finishing touch. There was chocolate or maple, and a couple others. I got the maple one. It took a little bit of time, but it came out pretty warm and the maple glaze was warm and oozing. It was tasty. If I were to get it again, I think I would ask for the glaze on the side, and dunk the donut in the glaze. Not sure if that's an option..but it should be!

I purchased a Living Social coupon and it was due to expire. So, I while I had planned to use this…read morecoupon during the sunny summer months,alas, here it was late October and the rain had started. This property is off the beaten path, but well signed and you have to know in advance that this location is at the end of Dick Road (so keep going). I had looked it up on the map and noticed that fact so I knew that at the end of the road there would be the vineyard. We pulled up to a house but it had various golf carts and other implements around so it appeared that no one resided there. The sign on the front door said join us outside on the patio just down the stairs. So, we followed down the stairs (I'm not sure what you do if you cannot do stairs--it looks like you maybe able to pull around on another side but I'm not clear on that) I would probably call first if I had any kind of mobility issues. We walked a little ways and saw a lighted room and so we went inside. Turns out this is the bathroom and not where they were wine tasting. We kept walking through the patio and there was no one in site. Finally, we spotted a large tent that was put up and the tasting area was set up there. We walked in and were casually greeted by a young girl who proceeded to tell us what they were out of and wanted to know if we wanted to taste a wine. I said that we had a coupon for the lunch basket and she wanted the info off of that and she would go and make it up. She then took off to go do that leaving us huddled on some damp chairs under the tent with another couple. It was about 48 degrees under the tent and they had heaters for the outdoors but they weren't lit. The YS and I were beginning to think we should get the food to go and forget the wine. Then the owner Melinda came out and asked if we wanted to taste a wine and proceeded to tell us a bit about them and we decided to split a tasting. She told us about how their vineyard as well as their farm acreage (they have about 70 acres). While we were talking the girl brought out the food and set it down not saying anything to anyone. I later asked Melinda if that was for us and she said yes. Melinda also quickly lit the heaters when she got out there she said that her helper (the girl from earlier) didn't know how to do it. I think the girl needs some training as she's doing a great business a real disservice. We ended up eating our lunch which was very tasty and bought a bottle of wine to enjoy with our lunch as well as two bottles to take home. I will say that our first impression was not a great one based on the girl and her demeanor we were going to eat and leave. Melinda is very friendly and customer service oriented. I will definitely be back again. If we didn't have two wine club memberships already we would have joined theirs as they have fun events with the wine pick ups as well as other events open to the general public. Beautiful setting, I would highly recommend.
