Having trouble posting on the blog :/ But again, in case my previous post never shows up– I’m just wondering whether anyone knows the recipe for the Portland Coffe Cake? It used to be me favorite up until two years ago when I developed a gluten sensitivity, and I can no longer eat it! Thank you -Laura

I’m just wondering whether anyone has the recipe for Starbucks Portland Coffee Cake?? It used to be my absolute favorite, until two years ago I developed a gluten sensitivity and can’t eat it anymore. Can anyone help me?? Thank you! – Laura

Hi Julia! Welcome to the blog. I hope you’ll “like” the blog’s facebook page too (widget in right side column.) Portland Coffee Cake is just one of the funny regional offerings that Starbucks does. It seems almost more random to me but yes, Portland gets its own special coffee cake! I’m pretty sure that a reader of this blog uploaded a photo of the Portland Coffee Cake to my blog’s facebook page, but that was eons ago. I don’t know if I could find it now. Glad to hear that this delicious treat is still around!

They have the Portland Coffee Cake, as well as the Classic Coffee Cake, in the Hillsboro, Oregon store. The Portland Coffee Cake is wonderful.

I will gladly take a picture of it the next time I buy one, which will probably be next week. I imagine that an employee of one of the Portland starbucks moved to Bend and brought the recipe here. I have no idea if they’re still making it in Portland.

@Jeanette – Thank you for finding my blog! Hope you will “like” the blog’s Facebook page too.

Does Portland still have a unique coffee cake? I always thought that was weird that for some reason Oregon seemed to have a totally unique coffee cake offering in their stores. But it’s been so long since I’ve even thought about that, and in the meantime numerous food offerings have come and gone.

This might be an odd question, but if it’s no trouble, I would love for you to come back and post a photograph of the Starbucks Portland Coffee Cake. I would have thought by now they would have switched to the same recipe as everywhere else.

Thanks again for finding my site!

I love the Portland classic coffee cake! It’s my weekly treat and they serve it also in Bend, OR at the downtown starbucks. Yummy stuff!

I might be a little late in posting on this but that is a an old Taco Bell or Taco Time restaurant. I can’t remember which, but I am extremely glad it is now a starbucks. The Portland Coffee cake is the best!

Hi Lindsey! I’ll get down there again some time though it may be a while! Very nice seeing you again. Good to clear up all the Taco Bell comments. I think it is better as a Starbucks than a Taco Bell.

Melody!
Thank you so much for coming down to visit! Not only did I enjoy the pleasant surprise of your company, but I know the partners at 3389 enjoyed meeting you! I had told them this may happen one day, but nobody believed me.
Once upon a time this store was once a Taco Bell. About 7 years ago, I believe, Starbucks began renting the space from a local business and Taco Bell built their own building literally across the highway.
We are glad you enjoyed your visit, and it was a pleasure as always to see you!

Thanks!
Lindsey
