Macarons...

by chanjyinger at Citysearch

I agree, the service isn't great. It's sometimes a hassle to get anybody's attention. And yes, sometimes the cakes can be a little on the dry side. But they have a great beer selection, and I'll continue going just for the macarons. Convenient area, too.

pix on division is a sweet spot for real

by johnbox at Citysearch

My wife and I recently moved to Portland two years ago. we have been trying to find the time to make it to pix for a romantic evening. Well we had our anniversary dinner the other night and since the kids had grandma we decided to drop in for sweets. OH MY GOSH!!!! I honestly have no clue what others are saying about this place, it is really just heavenly. Our waiter(I think his name was Eric) was more then helpful and very nice. He helped us wade through the immense selection and even recommended two dessert wines that we had never even heard of. THE EVENING WAS YUMMY. We received excellent service and thoroughly enjoyed the desserts.

I am so glad we made the time to go to pix because it is just a great place, hopefully it wont be two more years until we return.

If you go get the shazam or the lemon tart they are both divine!!!!!!

• Pros: great desserts, great service, soo romantic

MMmmm and Ahhhh!

I went in not knowing what to expect. Well actually, I went in expecting great desserts and snobby crappy service. I was wrong about the latter. I didn't get his name, but my friends and I, walked in about the time some police officers where outside asking a man to move on as he was loitering and once we went in, the server was pretty busy. As we were looking at the menu, he was handling some irate teenagers who were angry about something. He was being very apologetic and calm. Turns out these little brats where upset with him because he would serve one of them alcohol with his fake id.

The server was friendly and not worried that we had come in a half hour before closing. He kept a smile and made us feel welcome...as if we were old friends. I go on and on about the service because I find many places here with terrible miserable people giving you a terrible miserable experience. I've been in the service industry for over 15 years, so when I find a place which has a good product AND good service, I make sure to spread the news. If we had gone in and the food was good but the service was snotty, rude, too-cool for school, and such, I would have never gone back. I've just had it with bad service and have made a very black and white stance on the whole issue....even if a place allows even one bad server/barista/cashier...whatever.

Enough about that. The desserts were obviously rocking and thecoffee was excellent. It was expensive. Whatever. You know what you're getting into. I recommend getting vanilla ice cream on your Queen of Sheba Truffle Cake when offered. Will be back! Thanks Awesome Pix Server!

• Pros: desserts, service, late night
• Cons: small uncomfortable stools...I don't care how small your butt is

Portland's Prettiest Pastries

by northwester at Citysearch

Deliscioso treats in abundance. There was so much to choose from eventually you just have to wing it. They nicely pair deserts with liqures and coffees to really round out the evening. Sit indoors or on the sidewalk when the weather is nice. Friendly atmosphere and fabulous suggestions.

• Pros: Beautiful and Deliscious
• Cons: Limited Seating

How Can You Give This Place Less than a Five-Star Rating?

by oneangryraisin at Citysearch

I love this patisserie. Perhaps, it is because I am obsessed with anything French. Perhaps, it is because the thought of doing nothing, but sitting around all day eating desserts from this place makes me rather content. No, it is because this little gem of a place, w/ its decor and delicacies, is a little jolt of sugar-laden joy. Prices are reasonable for what you get. On summer evenings, there may be a bit of a wait, as the Division location is rather small. But there is a new Williams location, so the problem is solved.

YUM

by ebethe99 at Citysearch

I have been to Pix on Division 2 delectable times. The first was after dinner at Lauro across the street and the second was for an afternoon chocolate fix. The after dinner event was wonderful, we had a split of a delicious dessert wine ($15) and berry creme brulee and a uber moist chocolate on chocolate cake. The afternoon event was equally wonderful. I ordered some type of mango wonderfulness and then asked if I could get a hazelnut espresso. My waiter said they didn?t have that on the menu, but would see what he could do. I had no idea he would put hazelnut cream in my espresso to make it lke a dessert upon itself.

• Pros: a sweet-lovers dream come true
• Cons: small size

Great Date Night Dessert

by juliannarowe at Citysearch

This place has desserts to die for - expecially if you like chocolate. The Concorde is so very yummy. It's a great place to have dessert and coffee on a date night. I got a small taste of an onion tart once and been meaning to go back and order one. Haven't been there for lunch yet but I'm looking forward to it.

• Pros: Great Desserts. Chocoholic heaven. Good Coffee.
• Cons: Crowded late night.

Pix rocks the late night hang out scene!

by fisheyedview at Citysearch

It's too bad that the folks below me had such bad service. Our server was awesome! He recommended some great drinks to match with our dessert that we never would have tried otherwise (raspberry beer and blackberry izze). I was so glad to find another cafe/ restaurant that stays open late! We were here around 11:00pm. We did find a table, but they were still quite busy. I didn't find the dessert to be any better than other popular dessert places, but the ambience was definitely more my style (young, hip, and unpretentious).

• Pros: atmosphere, late-night hours, beer & wine available
