Bar Vivant

Great place to pick up birthday cakes 24x7. The small sizes of the cakes pack a big flavor punch and it was excellent. The quality of the ingredients was top notch. We used the vending machine and the taste was great. The price could’ve been a little more customer friendly. $12 per cake. The vending machines idea is great.

Really tasty & beautiful cakes, and the fact that you can eat fancy French cakes at 4 am is a definite plus in my book. There were intetesting trinkets besides the cakes in the vending machines, so that was also pretty neat. A Zoltar machine is always a plus in my book, and the free photo kiosk there is a fun touch. The vending machine does put a $35 hold on your card, so be aware of that & if you're going with friends, it's probably easier to order together. Most of the desserts were around $12 and very well worth it. However no forks when I visited so either BYOF or be prepared to eat it with your hands, because you might have to. I ordered Un Fantôme Un Couteau Une Nuit for the name alone & it lived up to it.

This place is without a doubt the best bakery in Portland. Everything we've gotten here has been delicious and also gorgeous. The individual sized desserts in the Pix-O-Matic are great for a little splurge and taste testing their different desserts. Then for a special occasion, you can get a full sized version of something you already know you love and pick it up through the very convenient cake lockers. It's not cheap but the prices are fair given the consistent quality, plus the time and skills needed for such elaborate desserts.

Amazing gourmet dessert options. Just so no one is disappointed, this is a photo of the serving size. It's pretty conservative, but the quality is top notch. I know it feels weird to spend $12 at a vending machine, but again - these are gourmet options. Worth every penny. I like to visit these machines after a failed date to cheer myself. Works like a charm!

Such a fun experience to pick up dessert after dinner. The 24/7 vending is is filled with tasty treats and random other knick knacks you might expect to find in Portland. I switch up the dessert every time and have not been disappointed yet. I got the Shazam! this time and it was one of my favorites. Loved the salted almonds and caramel in the cake. There's also a Zoltar machine!

I LOVE Pix! They are one of my favorite places to go for coffee and dessert. The hardest part is picnic g which amazing delicacy to try. I love how creative they have been during the pandemic, the pix-o-meter is awesome. I wish they would bring back dining inside even if just the bar and a place to sit and enjoy the dessert. But the pix-o-matic is great and the new additions are even better.
