Cakes are indubitably mediocre. Maybe I’m just spoiled by my unrealistically unapologetic standards. I blame my parents

During our visit to Portland, one of the places I was most excited about was Papa Haydn. They seem to have loads of amazing looking desserts! I saw that they also have tasty looking food too. So was double excited.
We were welcomed with warm and friendly staff. And we arrived about 10 minutes before their happy hour ends, which they call “Cocktail Party.” We quickly put in our drink orders, Papa Haydn Espresso Martini. It was so good! Strong and sweet, decadent and flavorful.
We also ordered some food food from their Cocktail Party. Roasted Cauliflower Bites and Cubano Slider. Cauliflower came in a small, beautiful copper pot. They had a nice amount of cream coating, but cauliflower pieces were a bit harder texture than I preferred.
Cubano Slider had an amazing aroma, and packed with flavor. It had melty cheese, every bite was delicious. It came with loads of fresh salad too.
Then, from regular menu, we added an order of French Onion Soup ($12). The soup came piping hot! Broth was earthy and flavorful, very comforting. It was a perfect soup!
Now, time for desserts! Deciding which dessert to order was not an easy task. Everything looked and sounded so good! There were three of us, and we ordered four desserts in total.
Raspberry Gateau was velvety and creamy, very chocolate-y but somehow not heavy. Raspberries were ripe and tart, a great way to balance the sweetness of the chocolate. So good!
Baked Alaska had chocolate in the middle that was a bit thick, making it hard to cut/slice to eat. Otherwise, it was delicious! I wish if the cake was a bit bigger, as it was sliced thin. It sure was delightful.
Passion was mostly passion fruit mousse with raspberry mousse center. Mousse was light and velvety, and passion fruits puree was amazing!
Boccone Dolce is one of their most popular and well-known dessert. This one was quite big, and was like a Pavlova, melt in your mouth. It was just unbelievably delicious, every bite was heavenly!
Our visit to Papa Haydn was a success! We enjoyed all the food, drinks, and desserts! The staffs were all friendly and polite. Every dessert was as good as I had hoped. I am so happy we got to go try their desserts!

Visiting from Texas, I didn't expect to be blown away by the filet mignon, easily one of the best I've had. Just the right amount of char and a sweet sauce to balance the bitterness. The broccoli and potatoes wanted a little salt but that may just be my palette. Really enjoyed the cocktails as well, they weren't overpowering and really delivered on the described flavor. Brittany's service was attentive and much appreciated, the entire staff was very pleasant as well.

Restroom smelled like meth, however the cake was phenomenal! 😋🍴
This place is amazing! The food and atmosphere were all amazing. We got the French onion soup, butternut squash soup, and the croque monsieur sandwich. Everything was amazing. The staff were super friendly and attentive. We also got two great desserts, I’m not sure of the name but they were both delicious. Couldn’t reccomend this place more.

Waiting 30 min to have a slice of cake that you literally walk by on your way in is unacceptable.

Honestly 5 stars alone for being open for lunch during the week, especially on Mon & Tue when everything seems to be closed. Everything we had today was yummy: warm burrata, nicose salad with salmon and fried chicken salad. Food came out in a timely manner!

In town for a few days - I’ve had lunch here twice. I had the Cubano one day and a burger the next. Loved the Cubano and soup.
The service was great. Place was clean and not too loud.

Service was super friendly from everyone except one server (slammed our coffee down on the table, splashing 2 out of 3 cups, no apology or napkins offered and walked off) + service was generally slow (I appreciate it was busy but we only ordered black coffee & cakes). Cakes were delicious, Haydn's Comet was SO good! Thanks to Jesse.
