Gross Confection Bar Claimed

Portland's Only Dessert Focused Restaurant.

So delicious, it’s gross.

What started as simple kitchen sarcasm grew into the idea to create a dessert focused restaurant and bar named, Gross. Catch the irony? So delicious, it’s gross. We truly believe that our guests need and deserve somewhere to go and enjoy the sweeter side of life. You’ll be surprised by our flavor combinations.

A fun spot for desserts and cocktails. We ordered the carrot cake and basked Alaska, and a couple of cocktails. The drinks were strong and tasty. The dessert was perfect! Although we didn’t try it, the cheese board seemed like a perfect snack as well. Just a lovely atmosphere to enjoy some company.I will say the desserts were very very sweet for my taste. As a dessert person, that’s a high bar. But others may love it.

We're not local, but wish we were! This is our third time in Portland and we always make sure to stop here. Unique and delicious desserts and coffee. Service is always friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is cozy. Everything is homemade and put together thoughtfully. Definitely worth checking out- my personal favorite is the Gross confection mess!

Super nice staff! Great desserts and drinks! Will usually be a wait, though seems like 8:45-9 was a bit slower. Super awesome pink peppercorn goat cheese ice cream on the steamed pumpkin cake!

A restaurant that ONLY sells dessert for dinner? YES PLEASE. And, with locally sourced ingredients, sign me up! This is such a nice place to have an intimate date in.If you want something rich in that Maine Blueberry flavor without the extra calories, the Blueberry Sorbet is perfect before the main course. The Toasted Olive Oil cake with freeze dried raspberries and pistachio ice cream, every texture, flavor pairs well with one another so well that you'll be asking for seconds.As a Transgender woman, myself, seeing a queer-owned dessert shop thriving gives me hope and joy for the future. Please support this business! It's worth every bite. Delicious 😋

Menu changes regularly, we enjoyed a brown butter cake with apples and topped with Parmesan cheese, as well as a spiced pumpkin cheesecake assembly that was very creamy, like a mousse. Definitely inventive desserts styles but the flavors were all top notch!

My dream restaurant! I love this concept. I am so frequently disappointed by restaurant dessert menus and find myself craving something specific. I love that this restaurant is dedicated to desserts and has something for every craving. The Gross Confection Mess was amazing!! I wish they had one of these everywhere.
