Coco Donuts

Categories: Donuts, Coffee & Tea
Neighborhoods: Southwest Portland, Goose Hollow

3/29/2011 1 Check-in Here

I love donuts. I once contemplated publishing a coffee-table book of the best donuts in the country, just so I'd have an excuse to travel from state to state stuffing my face with crullers.

Coco Donuts would definitely be in the running.

Their light-as-air donuts are utterly delightful, and the coffee is good, too. The employees are super nice, and I'm utterly in love with the decor.

The ONLY thing holding me back from five stars is the fact that they close kind of early and are usually pretty cleaned out toward the end of the day - right about the time my donut craving ramps into high gear.

Little Big Burger

Category: Burgers
Neighborhood: Pearl District

10/24/2010 1 Check-in Here

Every time I go to Little Big Burger I think the fries cannot possibly be as good as I remember them. And every time, they are.

The burgers are fabulous too, and if my kid's reaction to the rootbeer float was any indicator those are great as well.

But the fries. Oh, the fries.

Fada Salon

Category: Hair Salons
Neighborhoods: Southwest Portland, Downtown

5/21/2010

I just had my hair cut by Danielle at Fada, and - wow. Just wow. I came in with a mop full of just-the-wrong-length split ends and left looking like a movie star. Danielle asked exactly the right questions and turned my don't into a 'do. Highly recommended.

We Village

Categories: Child Care & Day Care, Preschools
Neighborhood: Pearl District

5/16/2010 1 Check-in Here First to Review

We love living downtown, but there are some drawbacks to trendy apartment living - namely, a distinct lack of high-school kids eager to babysit our four-year-old while we have the occasional date night or kid-free outing.

WeVillage to the rescue! It's got everything - great location, friendly staff, gorgeous interior - and they only charge a little bit more than that mythical babysitting teenager (plus you don't have to tip them). They're open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, too.

We love it, and more importantly, our kid loves it there. Yay!

Cool Moon Ice Cream Co

Category: Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighborhood: Pearl District

2/17/2010 1 Check-in Here

I adore Cool Moon. It's in a perfect location (right across the street from Jamison Square in the Pearl) and the flavors are fun and creative (and they'll let you sample as many as you want). But the thing that really won my heart is the hot fudge sauce. I can't even describe how amazing their hot fudge sauce is. It's so good I only ever get vanilla ice cream in my sundaes so as not to distract from the taste of the hot fudge. Lucikly, they usually have at least two different kinds of vanilla, so I'm not wanting for variety. I heard the person after me ordering the Bing Cherry Almond Chip, though, and it sounded good enough to break my all-vanilla streak. Next time!

Samurai Bento

Category: Japanese
Neighborhoods: Southwest Portland, Downtown

2/17/2010

We finally succombed to the delicious smells wafting from the Samurai Bento cart and got lunch here. SO glad that we did! I had the teriyaki chicken, and it was fantastic - not too sweet, not too much sauce, great grilled flavor to the chicken. The veggies were crisp and fresh and there was plenty of rice. I couldn't even finish mine!

Piazza Italia

Category: Italian
Neighborhood: Pearl District

2/17/2010

I had the lasagna. Oh how I loved the lasagna. And, seriously, whatever combination of meats was in the sauce did a little dance with the cheese to make something I can only describe as NOM.

It's not cheap, but not super expensive either. The staff chatted in Italian and everyone was incredibly nice. We're definitely going again.

Maya's Taqueria

Category: Mexican
Neighborhoods: Southwest Portland, Downtown

1/22/2010

Oh, how I love Maya's Taqueria. The quesadillas are big and delicious, and the guacamole...the guacamole is the best in town, possibly in the state. Prices are excellent and they're always super friendly. Yum.

Aybla Grill

Categories: Greek, Food Stands, Mediterranean
Neighborhoods: Southwest Portland, Downtown

1/20/2010

This is my go-to place for Mediterranean food. Their gyros are absolutely to die for: lots of delicious meat, fresh veggies, excellent tzatziki. The hummus plate is perfect for an afternoon office snack (get extra pitas; you'll want them). Service is fast and prices are great.

Campbell Salgado Studio

Category: Photographers
Neighborhoods: Southeast Portland, Sellwood

8/2/2009

We got our business portraits taken at Campbell Salgado, and we couldn't be more pleased. Kim and Francisco were a blast to work with, and the photographs turned out beautifully. We would definitely go again!
