First time at Gross - Excellent Coffee, delicious deserts made from scratch. Gorgeous brick rooms with high ceilings. Our server was wonderful!!
We chose Gross Confection Bar for a Sunday night dessert and cocktail. This is a great spot for both! We split the apple crisp creme brulee, which was stellar. The wait staff were friendly and went into great detail on how each dessert was prepared and made. We both enjoyed this unique bar in the Old Port.
This place is truly wonderful. My wife and I were in Portland for the night and stopped by here.
The desserts are absolutely delicious! The execution was spot on and creative. It is not a normal restaurant experience. Only problem was the creme brulee was not really as firm as it should of been. It was more soupy than a smooth creme. But that could of been the apple crumble topping.
The server we had was very nice and very attentive. She was truly great.
The atmosphere was just like every other restaurant in Portland dim lights and brick walls. Which is fine by me.

A dessert experience for savey globetrotters in need of a sweet symphony of flavors! Jacob at the bar, practically dared me to go for the affogato with basil custard. Sounds odd. Blows your mind and delights your palate. Tried the chocolate coconut crémeux and if heaven is this good, I wanna go now. Is that what they mean by "to die for!"?
Literally haven't experienced anything like this outside of Europe. Hopefully there are enough conesseurs of fine confections to appreciate what they offer here and let it thrive! I'll defo be back next time I visit Portland.

Why hey dessert someplace that isn't known for it? Gross solves that for you. They do dessert really well and I would recommend stopping here after dinner. The service is excellent, it really makes a difference. If you have multiple people in your party, I would recommend getting a trio to share. The blueberry moose, pistachio financier, and chocolate cake are excellent. I particularly liked the combination of pistachio and rose cream. They have cheese, charcuterie, and after dinner drinks too.
Had an amazing experience at Gross Confection Bar. Outside seating was very nice. Servers were very nice. The charcuterie board and the deserts were all amazing.
Holy moly that was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before! The desserts were out of this world delicious. If I’m ever back in Portland I’ll be sure to come back here!
Absolutely the best desserts I have ever eaten. Unfortunately, now I'm not going to be satisfied with any other dessert from anywhere else. The layers of flavor were somehow both separate but also combined well. The server was so knowledgeable about the food and was also just an all around great server. The atmosphere was great, too.
