Best Dessert in Hillsboro

"Created by the people behind Boxer Ramen, Little Big Burger, and Yakuza, it’s unsurprising that Blue Star was an instant sensation. Since their opening, the brand has become Portland’s reining donut king with eight locations in the area as well as outposts in Los Angeles. Their brioche-based donuts are topped and filled with ingredients more typically associated with that of a high-end pastry chef in flavors ranging from old fashioneds to creme brulee with a shot of Cointreau syrup."

"Ask anyone what some of the best donuts in Portland are and Blue Star will eventually make its way into the conversation. Made with brioche dough and high-quality artisanal ingredients, these donuts are the real deal. We highly recommend getting a box of 12 and sampling as many flavors as possible, but our old standbys are the buttermilk old-fashioned, valrhona chocolate crunch, and real maple bacon."

"As fun as it is to wait in line for an hour for a donut with cocoa puffs on it (plot twist: it isn’t), this donut really isn’t that great. Thankfully, there are other places in the city with shorter lines and better donuts. One of these is Blue Star."

"Although Papa Haydn, an old school Portland institution, is famed for its extensive pastry case, the triple chocolate cake stands out from the rest due to its relative simplicity. Diners looking for an elevated version of a nostalgic, birthday-party-style chocolate cake should look no further. The restaurant has several other cakes worth sampling, and the old-school NW location has plenty of room for groups looking to skip straight to dessert."

"A Portland dining institution, Papa Haydn are full restaurants, but they are best known for their huge selection of desserts. Desserts are available for carryout and are often from the ooey-gooey chocolate and dairy-rich school of pastries, but hey there’s nothing wrong with that. They often look like something you’d expect to see on the British Baking Show."

"Papa Haydn has been around for decades and is a great spot for beautiful, decadent desserts by the slice. Think cakes, cookies, cheesecake, and tortes. Order the Mt. Adams Cake, made with hazelnut-coconut cake, praline, Viennese buttercream, wild huckleberry compote, and a huckleberry buttercream."

"One restaurant that appears on just about everybody's best-of Portland list is Andina. With the tagline, "A Taste of Peru in the Pearl," Andina has taken traditional South American cuisine to the level of fine art. Located in the heart of Portland's Pearl District, the neighborhood is comprised of boutique shops, art galleries and old industrial buildings converted into high-end lofts."

"The atmosphere is romantic, the Peruvian food is nothing short of inspired and there’s usually live music. Andina is located in the Pearl District at  1314 NW Glisan St, Portland, OR 97209."

"Ruby Jewel has been a local staple since 2004, and with locations in Downtown, North and Southeast Portland, you’re never too far away from a scoop shop. Aside from its rotating cast of 15 hand-crafted flavors, what Ruby Jewel is really known for is its ice cream sandwiches, which you can customize in a shop or find in a local grocery store freezer when you have a craving.

"Pix is the Parisian princess of the Portland sweet shops, showing up in international guidebooks and is a de facto stop for many visiting guests and locals alike. Part quirky “date” bar serving champagne and other cocktails, part daytime cafe with the usual fixings, and part dessert shop, the funky French thrift store decor and late-night hours only add to the vibe. Yet, Pix is also a serious patisserie and chocolatier featuring classic small pastry offerings such as Dobos torte, Gateau Opera, Macarons, and various creative creams, cakes and tarts."

"At dessert hero Cheryl Wakerhauser’s Pix Pâtisserie/Bar Vivant, napkins litter the floor, scarlet damask lines the walls, and Champagne enthusiasts play a game of pétanque in the courtyard. Portland seems miles away in this world of wacky European vitality and sparkling wine obsession. Wakerhauser has been baking bonbons and French macarons since she opened in 2001, but in 2012 Pix moved to East Burnside, bringing savory Spanish tapas, an expanded cocktail menu, and a beautiful space to the sweet equation."

"Credit goes to Pix Patisserie for coming up with the most socially-distanced, convenient way to abate sugar cravings at any hour of the day. Owner Cheryl Wakerhauser refurbished a 20-year-old vending machine, only to fill it with Pix’s signature macarons, mousses, truffle cakes, and even party favors like sparklers and cocktail mixers. The Pix-O-Matic is open for takeaway orders every day for 24 hours; note that the machine is restocked and cleaned at 10 a.m."

"Random Order is a neighborhood café that makes cakes, pies, and other baked goods, but also sources from bakeries such as the Pearl Bakery. Yet when it comes to house-made pies, this is where Random Order really shines. Expect a dozen or so choices on any given day, including Banana Rum cream pie, Vanilla Apple Salted Caramel, or Oregon Cherry."

"A stop at Blue Star Donuts was definitely non-negotiable (sooooo yummy), and then we headed to our first brewery. We were looking for good food, which forced our hand a little, and ended up at Deschutes. But later we went to the much smaller 10 Barrel Brewing on a whim, and were delighted by the fun rooftop patio on what ended up being a gorgeous day."

"Voodoo Doughnuts is a Portland classic, and Blue Star is a local favorite. Check out this map for some doughnut guidance."

"85C Bakery Cafe, Tigard - A dozen bakeries in the Portland suburbs Lizzy Acker/The OregonianLizzy Acker/The Oregonian. This newly-opened pastry wonderland in Washington Square Mall is the place to go if you are looking for fruity treats. The mall cafe is Oregon’s first outpost of this Taiwanese chain and it is already one of the most-popular spots in Washington Square."

"85°C Bakery Cafe is an international chain that first opened in New Taipei in 2004. The bakery has enjoyed great success and locations have spread around the world. The lineup includes buns from Taiwan, Japan, Denmark and Europe with a mix of sweet and savory options."

"Bamboo Sushi is the first sustainable sushi restaurant in the world. Yep, you heard me right, and it’s located right in Portland, Oregon. Bamboo is dedicated to sourcing only fish that is sustainable, and in a world where 76% of the world’s ocean fish is overexploited, that’s a tall order."
