Walked in on a sleeting day and made my first terrarium with some hot peppermint tea. Folks in there were super friendly and knowledgeable. All great vibes.

Really fun experience but very expensive and the food/snacks are awful

My partner and I had a wonderful experience here. The process of building a terrarium was very easy with the guidance of the team there. We found it especially calming and enjoyable to be surrounded by plants as we created our tiny worlds. Local beverages were a great added touch. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for date spot, friend group activity, or solo activity! Good vibes all around.

Awesome place! One of the best shopping experiences I have had in a long time. Couldn't recommend more.

Great atmosphere with so many plants. The owner was working that night and was very friendly and knowledgeable. Great concept and well implemented. Very good for a date night. You can bring your own glass or select one to buy from them. I selected a glass brick that looks great on my windowsill at home.

The owners are extremely knowledgeable about everything in their shop, and also so helpful. They make the environment so friendly and welcoming, whether you're building terrariums, or just there to browse the plants. I highly recommend coming here, and I hope they stay in business for a long time!

Went there with our kids last summer. Traveled With our terrariums to North Carolina and then California. They are full of growth. Every city needs this business. We had so much fun with our three kids. The owner accidentally knocked over one of our kids creations but was so nice and gracious that it continues to be my sons best memory of our month long east coast trip

Terrarium is my favorite business in Portland, It’s a great spot for local regulars to come enjoy a drink and some snacks, play games or build terrariums. It’s also an awesome place to bring people who are visiting for a unique and fun experience. 10 out of 10 would recommend ?

This a great little shop! Its so vibrant and alive inside! I love that this tends to be a place you can spend as much or as little time as you like. There are plenty of options for shopping for plants, they sell drinks, and you can also make terrariums. I also had fun looking at example terrariums and all the different sizes they had for sale or on display in the store.We stopped in hoping to make a terrarium, asked a few questions first to understand the process, picked out our vessel, took a seat at a table, and they brought us some plants for our terrarium. At the end, they came around to add water and little bugs to the terrarium. We appreciated how helpful the staff was in answering our questions, giving helpful tips, and explaining everything. We also like how they were hands-off while we built the terrarium, letting us take our time and have fun with it!
What a great little place! A group of six of us came here on the recommendation of a friend and it was worth it! It used to be an old bar & has a cool, underground feel. There’s a wheelchair accessible entrance as well. You choose your jar first. There is a nice selection, round, squares, even a cute little mushroom one! Then you find a spot to sit at the tables and they have bowls of rocks, dirt, and tools. Someone will come by the table and explain what to do. The gentleman who helped us was fantastic! He clearly loved his job and was so knowledgeable. It was awesome to see someone working but so happy! He also cut plants for all of us and distributed them. There are extras you can pay for as well like stone creatures like ladybugs or turtles or stone headstones. Then these obelisk stones as well (not really sure what they are called?) we got a white ladybug (extra $15) you can kind of see in the terrarium picture and an obelisk (extra $15). The glass bottle we chose (medium size option was $55). The things included in price was the small rocks, large rocks, dirt, and microscopic bugs (that help your terrarium do it’s thing).There are drinks and food to order as well like water, beer, and wine. For food, it’s a bit random stuff. We got the chicken nachos and the chicken was fantastic! But the rest was just average things. Nachos you could easily make at home but it was nice they offered some sort of nourishment.Overall, we had a great time and highly recommend this place for a date night, friends, work party, or family time!

We had a great time building terrariums at Terrarium! The staff is very knowledgeable and super helpful. They have a huge array of plants, glass, and cool additions for your terrarium. There are snacks and drinks to enjoy while you’re there. We’ll definitely be back!

AMAZING place for family and friends together project. Great indoor plants selection and the team are very helpful. Must visit to appreciate the effort put in this spot

Had a good time building my own terrarium with my girl! Wished the food side had more to offer. Clearly microwave nachos for $15 and "microwaved to order" mac and cheese felt out of place in such a natural feeling place. That being said I understand food is not the focal point but I think it deserves more loveEdit in response to owner: while I do emphasize with the capabilities of the kitchen and I do appreciate the locally sourced food I am going to reiterate that if you understand your kitchen is ill equipped to put out food that's been prepared to high quality food standards (cheese melted in oven or under a heat-lamp) that it is not the responsibility of the customer to fill in the gap with their wallet. Knock it down to $10 and you're fine
