Rimsky-Korsakoffee House, Portland

Fabulous desserts and good people! Truly a place of history and music.

Absolutely, fabulous place. Great desserts great atmosphere! Bring your sense of humor and sit back and enjoy. When busy it can b a bit of a wait for a table and sometimes the service is a little uneven, but the total experience more than makes up for it. The best thing is to take someone who has never been before- hilarious!

Spare me. I hate this place. The claim is that they have good desserts. Right. Pass. What about the name? That should be a big tip off E-U!

Great old house, fantastic Chocolate Raspberry Fools and Cafe Borgia (they use their own home-made fresh orange zest flavoring for the coffees), and the occasionally eccentric and opinionated waitstaff might strike up a chat if it's not too busy (some may even sketch diagrams of the desserts -- or their own cats -- on the back of the menu for you). Occasionally the service is a little scatterbrained, but the place is so cozy and there's so much to enjoy (like live classical music most nights and the current 26-piece alphabetical art exhibit), that a little wait is far more pleasure than trial, and the results are worth waiting for. If berries + chocolate+ cream was an acceptable food group, I'd be there *every* night instead of every other...
