Pix Patisserie



Both locations in Portland are heaven! The review below is based on the Division location.

After a night of drinking/eating out on Division, I needed something sweet…enter Pix :) This place has any special treat you can think of (and all are house made by their amazing pasty chefs): signature deserts, pastries, ice cream, chocolates – you name it, they have it. They also offer a long line of coordinating beverages, from coffee to specialty beers and dessert wines. The shop on Division is small and has an eclectic style. Random table pieces are mixed together, and the bar seating reminds me of an old-time soda shop. It is always full of people, either enjoying their deserts in house (or in front of the shop in nicer weather) or running in to grab some items to go.

We sat at the counter and ordered our own little sampler:

1)2 scoops of the “Manic Panic,” which is peanut butter ice cream with a caramel ribbon and pieces of their Queen of Sheba Truffle Cake mixed throughout…HEAVEN! This ice cream was so delicious that I hunted down the Manager of Pix on Division for details on the ingredients – thanks to Leb, he is super friendly and helpful!
2) One piece each of the “Pistache” (Pistachio and almond paste meld together and), “Pix Nutella” (Chocolate hazelnut ganache) and “Pink Flamingo” (pink grapefruit infused ganache) chocolates, with a glass each of the Pinot Noir.

I enjoy being able to just order one piece of things here, rather than whole desserts, so I can try a variety. Everything we ordered was melt-in-your-mouth, enjoy every morsel good. I would go back here weekly just to try new flavors of chocolate and ice cream if my body could sustain the sweets, LOL!

Great place for the sweet tooth, on any occasion!
