Here we go again, it's been about 6 month since my last Portland trip, so Craig (#craigsentme) thought it was time to go check the scene. We managed to get in town for brunch, so it was fitting to start with a coffee at ProudMary.
First stop ProudMary
2 Woodblock Chocolate
Our welcome at Woodblock Chocolate, was nothing short of spectacular, Charley, the founder, was so gracious, giving us a very extensive tour of his shop and laboratory.
3 Coquine
According to a few critics, Coquine has one of the better chocolate chips cookie of the city, so we had to grab a few, and an order of rye pancakes while we were at it...
4 Cloudforest
The other bean to bar manufacturer, is Cloudforest, they are especially known, for their innovative bar flavor combo.
5 Alma
A quick stop by Alma, the wonderful chocolate shop of Sarah Hart.
6 OK Omens
After a short stop by downtown, where we discovered PARK AVENUE FINE WINES, we decided to try
OK omens. The food was delicious, and we managed to be early enough to meet the chef de cuisine, Justin Woodward.

7 XICO
XICO is a modern Mexican food restaurant... After all those years, I just can't believe Craig didn't force my hand before, what a loss! We only went there for a quick dessert, but the friendly staff and the new take on Mexican food makes me hungry for more... to be continued.
