I've visited this Papa Haydn location several times now with some visits being for lunch/dinner, but most recently I went with family just for dessert since their selection is easily one of the very best in Portland! My two personal favorites are the Passion (which has such a unique and wonderful blend of indulgent flavors) and the Raspberry Gateau, but honestly it's hard to go wrong here. The manager dropped by to check how our desserts were tasting and was very friendly and down to earth. On previous trips here, I also remember enjoying the pork loin and croque monsieur sandwich which tasted even better dipped in some French Onion soup. The entrees were good, but the desserts were definitely the star of the show for me. Their service is also consistently great, though if you're planning to come at peak dinner time I'd recommend making a reservation to avoid a wait.

Whether you want to eat a sweet here or take it to go you can’t go wrong. I have enjoyed their desserts and tea selection and is great. Recently took a slice of this German chocolate cake and it was so good. Selection is smaller than their NW 23rd location.

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding cake experience! From the beginning, the process was smooth and stress-free. We ordered their cake tasting box and were blown away by the quality and flavor—it made choosing flavors for our wedding incredibly hard (they were all so good!). We ended up selecting three different flavors for the big day, and all of them were a hit! Many people came back for seconds —it was that good.
I had been super anxious about someone having to pick up the cakes and drive them an hour to our venue in 100° heat. But the wedding cake representative assured me that the cakes would be fine—they're well-packaged and stable for transport. And they were right! Everything arrived perfectly. They held up beautifully for the rest of the night.
Every slice was absolutely delicious—moist, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We froze our leftover slices, and months later, they still taste just as good as they did on our wedding day (if frozen properly). The prices were very fair compared to other companies we looked into—especially considering how delicious the cake was. We’ll definitely be coming back to them for all our future cake needs. Highly, highly recommend!

I truly love this place however anytime that I am trying to order coffee or pastries at the counter. I generally feel like I’m being ignored. There could be up to three or four people working behind that counter, and they are literally too busy talking to each other to even look at me. Overall, the experience would be much better if staff would actually engage with the customer. Is it really so hard to acknowledge someone and let them know you will be right with them if you are busy?

The food was pretty terrible. The fondue mixture was offputting, grainy with an overpowering flavor. It got more distressing when you could’ve made fries in the pool of oil included in salmon salad. Never mind that the ravioli was undercooked and the chef clearly has stock in the pepper provider, as that’s the only thing I tasted. The marionberry cheesecake was made with chalk and the graham cracker crust was thick enough to be sold as OSB at Lowe’s. Although the crème fraiche and compote was an interesting idea. Both my dining partner and I felt ill afterwards. So I mean, maybe a spot for entertaining you nemesis? But that may be a little too cruel.
Always delicious. You just can't improve on perfection, especially when dessert is involved at this level.❤️

Superb steak and eggs. Perfect medium rare with a crust. Eggs were a perfect over medium. Cubano benedict also great. The desserts are on an entirely different level than anywhere else in town. 10/10

Our wedding cake from Papa Haydn was absolutely perfect! It was not only beautiful but delicious—the ideal addition to our perfect day. Every bite was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We received so many compliments from our guests!
If you're planning a wedding in Portland, I highly recommend Papa Haydn for your cake. They truly helped make our celebration even more memorable. 10/10 would recommend!

The patio is beautiful. It's an oasis for a little time away from reality while enjoying a little French Onion soup or one of many dessert delights.

Thank you Papa Haydn's and Amelia, our waitress. PH has always been a fabulous place for desserts. But tonight they made a 15 year old extra happy. (And the parents too). Thank you for accommodating such a large group and being so kind and excited in celebrating the teen years. Cheers!
