Lots of really cool and unique items here. You can attend demos and learn about salts. Theres so many different types available. Theres also a large variety of chocolate! They come local and from abroad so come by and spend some time and try all the things. #localguide
Whenever we come to town to visit we come by The Meadow. If you’re looking for chocolate to take home as gifts or to just eat it yourself this is the place to go. They’ve got 2 walls of chocolate bars which are mostly local. Also grab some good quality salt or bitters. The people working here are always nice and open to talk about the products.
Amazing staff very knowledgeable and will help you find anything you’re looking for. My absolute favorite is their chocolate who doesn’t love chocolate, ask them about portland made Creo Chocolate who collaborates using their salt, My favorite is the nibs & sea salt bar. They have an amazing selection of salt. They also have a great selection of bitters my favorite is Honest John sarsaparilla Yum Yum Yum can’t get enough of it.
If you love fancy salts, you must visit. The truffle salt is amazing!
If youre looking for fancy chocolate, fancy salt, or an excellent selection of bitters, look no further. The Meadows isnt the cheapest place youll ever go, but the selection is impressive, the small staff knowledgable, and you can find things here youd be hard pressed to find anywhere else in the city. If youre looking for a top gift for someone who enjoys cooking or chocolate, this is an excellent place to browse. They also let you sample the bitters and salt. If youre new to cooking with different types of salt, this is definitely a good place to start! They even have starter packs of dessert salts, cooking salts, etc! If nothing else, a great place to browse with out of town friends who like shopping local.
Awesome place! We from them from their book that we bought in ohio where we live. Came here just to see the store! Super nice people. Will be ordering from them when I need more. Nice quality items. Cant wait to cook on our new salt blocks!
Absolutely some of the finest gourmet salts Ive ever tasted.
If youre looking for unique salts or chocolates, this is the right place. Theyve got a salt for everything and samples that you can try. My favorites are the vanilla salt and the chocolate salt. Its not cheap but its good and they make great gifts!
Salt, chocolate, tonics and bitters galore! The Meadow is a culinary paradise with enchanting staff and the largest selection of salts Ive ever seen. Its a little pricey, but totally worth it. #onesmallstep
Who woulda thought you could spend so much time in a store? The salts are surprisingly distinctively different. Bitters are fun too!
Lovely assortment of chocolates bitters and salts. Unfortunately my interactions ( or lack there of) with the salesperson was terrible. She all but ignored me. The only other person in the shop was obviously a friend of hers and they jibber jabbered away and ignored me the whole time. Even after I asked if they carried Soma chocolates she pointed to one bar and went back to her “important conversation”. Perhaps she judged me by the way I was dressed ( tee shirt and shorts) and figured I wasn’t worth interacting with. I guess I’ll take my couple hundred dollars worth of business to world foods downtown. To be fair my partner says she has had good personable interactions with the owner. Wish that had been the case in my shopping experience.
I usually enjoy shopping here, but had an unpleasant exchange with the salesperson today. We came looking for a salt and pepper grinder set like the one some friends purchased for us as a gift from this store. We were told that the grinders were no longer a thing and that they did not have them. Like we were only buying something we thought was trendy but is now horribly out of vogue. No, I like the flakes produced by that grinder. I guess I will buy my trendy salt elsewhere.
Love their black truffle salt, ask to try the popcorn
The only place in PDX that I can find Black Salt! Great salt and chocolate selections. Friendly staff.
Such a random little shop! If you need salt or chocolate, chances are they have that odd flavor.
Great selection of local (& foreign) chocolates, plus salts & a huge variety of bitters. Very nice staff.
The salt selection here is amazing and the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable
Best selection Ive ever seen anywhere for fancy salts and bitters. If youre looking for anything besides, you probably wont find it here - they are a very specialized shop.
Great selection of salts, bitters and chocolate. Also beautiful flowers and very helpful, friendly staff.
Great little shop for gifts! Bitters, chocolates and other artisanal items. The cashier was super awesome and gave me some great suggestions
I have no idea how salt, bitters and chocolate make such an interesting store. Definitely worth a stop next time you are wandering down Mississippi.
Fantastic store full or flavored salts, chocolate, flowers and cocktail bitters. Freindly staff, always go when Im in Portland.
Best ever flowers for a healing friend of the heartBest service, kind, compassionateCreative, adored by the recipientCould not be happier with the choice of flower shopsAbout to call again
Great place in Portland. We got truffle salt, lemon salt and bunch of amazing chocolate. Staff very knowledgeable and helpful.
Based on the description listed as gourmet grocery, I was expecting a small grocery carrying a variety of food items. Actually, this is a tiny store that basically only carries chocolate, salt, and bitters.They have a good selection of chocolate brands, including Dick Taylor, Patric, Soma, Askinose, Fruition, Amedi, Ritual.They also have samples of some of the chocolate, so you can request to sample them.
Fun stuff and friendly staff who seem to be into the products theyre selling.
Any and every kind of salt you can imagine. They also have a wide selection of artisan chocolates. One of the neatest things is the gigantic stack of salt blocks that they have for cooking on.
The staff were as pleasant as they were helpful. Great selection and exteemely kind and knowledgable. Also the snacks selection is choice, especially the popcorn.
My wife and I had a fun time here. A destination spot for the most specialty salts I have seen in one place.
Artisanal salt, incredible selection of bitters, chocolate & flowers. Very Portland but, in a good way.
Many salts (you can taste them), bitters and tonic (ditto), chocolate (didnt look at it).
Very knowledgable staff! Beautiful flower arrangements.
Great selection of salt and chocolate.
If youre looking for firewater and salt, get your decadence. Oh, and the wall of chocolate is the stuff of LEGEND.
Incredible bitters and vermouth selection.
The selection might be fine but the woman working was aloof, cold, and made me feel unwelcome.
Best salts around.
There are many kind of salt and chocolate, herb oil.
Ive never had flowers delivered before, they helped me through it, were very friendly and thorough, and answered all of my questions along with catering to my requests. They made the whole process a walk in the park!
Excellent Sultan chocolate
Amazing place!
Go. Just, go there now.
Fun store
