The Best Bakeries in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Credit goes to Pix Patisserie for coming up with the most convenient way to abate sugar cravings at any hour of the day. Owner Cheryl Wakerhauser refurbished 20-year-old vending machines, proceeding to fill them with Pix’s macarons, mousses, truffle cakes, and even party favors like sparklers and cocktail mixers. Stand-out pastries include the Amelie, a chocolate mousse entremet with a candied hazelnut center and a crown of orange-flavored creme brulee, as well as the classic opera cake. The Pix-O-Matic is open for takeaway via the vending machine 24 hours every day; customers can also order large-format versions of the desserts for pick-up." - Michelle Lopez
