Pix Patisserie / Pix-O-Matic

"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, Janey Wong

"Pix, the dessert shop and bar-turned-vending machine, has released its summer event schedule in partnership with Can Bar, which now resides in Pix’s restaurant space." - Janey Wong

"What was once an internationally lauded patisserie is now East Burnside’s 24-hour dessert destination: a set of vending machines stocked with entremets, citrus tarts, macarons, and more. One of the machine’s highlights has to be the Amélie, an orange-vanilla crème brûlée with glazed chocolate mousse, caramelized hazelnuts, praline crisp, and Cointreau génoise. The vending machines are also contactless, which means fewer people to interact with in the deep, dark night." - Thom Hilton, Eater Staff

"The Pix-O-Matic is a 24-hour patisserie vending machine on East Burnside, from the pastry chefs that brought you the late, great Pix Patisserie." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"Cheryl Wakerhauser, the trailblazing patissiere, was the owner of Pix Patisserie. She is recognized as one of Portland's most influential bakers." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
