Pazzo Ristorante
627 SW Washington St
You can get bite sized cupcakes. My favorites are "What's Up Doc?" (carrot) and "Red Velvet" (so smooth)! Their business model is amazing. This would be a kinder, gentler world if everyone treated their employees the way they are treated here.

Crazy flavors like basalmic vinegar, black pepper, bone marrow, and other stuff that just doesn't belong in ice cream. Very popular local establishment.

Only "people in the know" are aware of this funky place with its live music. Such a bizarre place (in a good way) to gather with friends. No signs on this old house so you really aren't sure if you are walking into a coffee shop or somebody's private residence. They serve coffee and a limited menu of desserts.

Want to get dressed up and take your special some one for a fancy dinner? Then, this is your place! Great food in a lovely atmosphere (can you say starched linen napkins)? You will feel like a real grown up when the valet parks your car for you. Let them know if it's a special event. They just might do something unexpected.

Authentic Lebanese food. This place never disappoints. The hot pita bread is delivered puffed up, full of air. The mezza plate gives you a nice sample of baba ganoush, tabouli, humus and more. Don't think you'll go wrong with anything you order here.

Entertainment & Activities

If you haven't tried an Escape Room, you haven't really lived! One of the best! See if you can solve the clues and get out before your hour is up. About 30 bucks per person and well worth it.

You will have to pedal so be sure you have people with you who will do their part to get you down the tracks and back. After you've burned up some calories, get yourself to the Tillamook factory for some honkin' big scoops of ice cream. Buy some cheese for the trip home.
