Bluebird Bakers — Restaurant in Portland

Hmm, I almost never leave a review unless I can leave a good one, but I'm kinda miffed about what's happened with the "chocolate chunk" cookies. Look, prices are going up everywhere on everything, I get it. But to have, like, three pieces of chocolate chunk in a chocolate chip cookie? This is not enough. These cookies now are more like lame vanilla cookies with a hint of chocolate sometimes. Allow me to explain: I'm one of those people who bought these cookies when they first came out at New Seasons years ago and they were dynamite, pure crack, chocolate chunks everywhere. I'd borrow money to buy them. But the things in these packages now? Yikes. The quality of the ingredients seems to have changed (for the worse) yet the price per package has gone up. I splurged to treat myself after a bout of COVID and ... Kinda wish I hadn't. I would not bother buying them twice. Jinju has better cookies I'll bike across town for, that actually have...

I am not a big sweets guy, but I am a sucker for chocolate chip cookies.

My wife picked up some of their cookies at Zupans and I resisted for a few days.

I finally gave in and had one and they are the best store bought (my legal assistant makes the best) chocolate cookies I have ever had.

Lots of chips and a little extra salt.

I am sure they are not cheap (Zupans) but damn they are good.

Cougar Mountain are better? Not even close.

If you wan't the best, buy these.

If you...

I had my first Bluebirds Bakers treat today, The Brookie. From the first couple bites, I knew it was one of the best cookies I’ve ever had! If you like a perfect balance of chocolate and salt this cookie is for you. Delicious, perfectly sized chunks of brownie too! Savored every bite, but can I afford as many as I want? No. They’d honestly make more money if they reduced the price! But never ruin that...
