The chocolate here is great! I liked everyone I tried, but the Thai is phenomenal. Both my friend and I loved our drinks. Friendly staff and lots of options.

Baristas were very nice and gave good break downs of their recommendations. Their chai latte was my favorite and my brother loved his s'mores mocha. We thought the butterscotch latte was a bit underwhelming in flavor compared to the others. We splurged and got the bon bons which were our favorite chocolate. My brother liked the espresso chocolate but I thought the wine one was a bit odd, can't put my finger on why. It is a fun space where they have their production shelving coming out into the cafe and you can see some of the workers in the back. Kind of a woodsy industrial vibe. Parking was very difficult to find but we also went when the convention center had something going on. Lastly, my only complaint would be that the chocolate bars are not scored in any way. No lines for east breaking, no embossment. So you either break it apart with your hands or like I did, cut it with a knife into smaller pieces, but then you lose a lot of the smaller, finer pieces. Anyway, cute and yummy shop, and a great place for gifts.

The s'mores mocha and Tillamook cheddar rosemary scone were delicious! Also snagged some of the Oregon maple bon bons, which were pricey but really tasty and benefitted the nonprofit Oregon Maple Project. (Who knew Oregon had a maple scene?!) Just know that their food options are limited to pastries, some of the food pictures on Google reviews are outdated. :)

I like this place as it is today. They have good coffee, the staff is friendly, and their chocolate is amazing. But I REALLY miss Cup & Bar. I understand they have rebranded and are no longer partnered with Trailhead. But like many others, I feel complete and utter destain toward whoever decided taking away their food options- particularly the avocado toast- was a good idea. Also, the space has been transformed from what was once a bustling cafe into an uninviting, lifeless shell of the magic it once was. I am sure it has been difficult to rebrand and move away from your former concept- but in doing so you took away a beloved gathering place, and left a significant void in the hearts of your friends and neighbors.

I got the s'mores latte. It was beautifully presented, but the latte itself was pretty flavorless. It was also incredibly cramped and not very inviting inside.

Extraordinary chocolate and extraordinary people. A must to visit, or (re)discover.Highly recommend walking away with chocolate to share with others. Their adventure series is ??✨ ?

Ranger consistently has the friendliest baristas in Portland who also happen to make great coffee drinks. The baked goods are very high quality, and the whole place smells like chocolate. Oh, and the chocolates are nuanced and delicious. What's not to love?

Delicious!!

Great staff at the front counter, unforgettable delicious cookies, drinks and a 1lb block of chocolate! This is where I did most of my holiday shopping and everyone I gave an item to was STOKED. The fact that there's a chocolate factory right off East Burnside Street is AMAZING. Go check them out!
THE BEST CHOCOLATE EVER. The owner personally works the counter and came to spend time with us, bringing samples and being so very kind.If you get the chance, come and support this company because they are worth each dollar!

Ranger Chocolate is such a gem! I have loved everything I have had the opportunity to enjoy from Ranger. The people who work there are the kindest and so helpful and knowledgeable. I always feel welcome. I miss being able to buy their chocolate easily when I am back in Tucson. (I'm placing an online order as soon as I am done with this review). A few favorites are the Thai chocolate bar, the Mayan, the Milk, the Pinot Noir, the caramels (any flavor) and the turtles (sublime).

I used to love this place when it was more focused on the coffee experience, but things seem to have changed. The barista wasn’t aware of allergens in the specialty drinks, and I was not allowed to use my laptop at the main tables, despite the shop being mostly empty on a Sunday afternoon. The vanilla latte I got was tasty though, so at least there’s that!
