The Hungry Hero Dessert Co

Not a Sunday goes by that I don’t miss being a morning’s stroll away from Hungry Hero. We fell in love with this sweet gem but moved to Vancouver a few months ago. We saved ourselves unnecessary taxes, unnecessary traffic and the rising rent costs by making the move. That being said, we’re sure it was ultimately a mistake now that we’re without those cereal cookies and weekend cinnamon rolls. What have we done?!
Seriously…“Treat” here in Vancouver can’t touch you guys. It’s a poor substitute for the heavenly concoctions from Hungry Hero. We miss you guys dearly.

Soooo good!!! Looked up bakeries in our area and came upon this place and it’s so amazing. Super small, but my husband, daughter and I all got something different And it was all amazing.

Everything is delicious. They are so friendly when you go inside its like visiting friends and you come up with yummy treats. Haven’t found anything that I didn’t want more of!

The BEST desserts and the BEST staff! I was greeted by the friendly staff behind the counter. They explained how the menu was setup since it was my first time there. Items on display are on a first come first serve basis. I got the cookies and cream cupcake, a strawberry bar, and lemon tart/​bar. Simply phenomenal! I will be stopping by next weekend for more!

This is an amazing bakery!!! It is a very small shop but worth stopping in. The yummy smells draw you into this place! I tried the mollasses cookies and they were heavenly. They had many different cookies and treats to choose from. While we were there, they were making some delicious berry pies. I will make sure to go back and try there homemade pies and other goodies!
The whole staff and owners are very friendly and I can’t wait to go back and try more of there amazing desserts!!!

Not only beautiful desserts but so good!!! My fave shop in the PNW. The service is also quick and friendly. Sits in a beautiful little town as well.

The Hungry Hero Dessert Co is a wonderful gem tucked away near downtown Sherwood. The owners are so incredibly welcoming and their shop smelled wonderful! Our plan was to walk away with 4 baked treats and instead we left with 8 different items because everything looked too good to leave without!
As for taste, everything was so moist and flavorful. My favorite was the lemon shortbread and my husband couldn’t stop eating the Debbie bar! They do a wonderful play on sweet and salty. Cannot wait to return again once we’re back in Oregon!

We are so happy that Hungry Hero opened in Sherwood. We love to walk down and get a special treat the the end of the week! They are seriously amazing bakers and their goodies never disappoint.

Not only are the owners fantastic, the treats they make are even more fantastic! Do not miss out on the Sunday cinnamon rolls! My favorite are the potato chips chocolate chip cookies! Love supporting our local families!

OMG the best bakery and the Debbie bars should be a sin! Must go and I love the guys that own the place so friendly and sweet.

Get the Debbie bar! Get anything really… It’s going to be extraordinary! The guys Alex and Zane are such amazing community partners and they’re a total blessing to Sherwood! Now stop reading and get going!!! Don’t forget the Debbie bar :-)

My wife and I just happened upon this bakery today. I had the best lemon bar I’ve ever eaten. Looking forward to going back.

Whoohoo! As good as it gets! Alex is an incredible baker with a talent for making things as delicious as they are unique. Maple bacon cupcakes, Bourbon Bundt Cake, or Banoffee Pie… They are all mouth watering! He has a ton of GF menu items as well and they are equally as good!!!

I love The Hungry Hero Dessert Co. So glad we have a quaint, boutique style dessert shop in Old Town. Alex has a heart of gold! I met him because he opened his shop and almost immediately donated 100 cookies for my friend’s son’s lemonade stand to raise money for his momma’s cancer treatments. Alex’s cinnamon rolls are out of this world! If you want great coffee, try my neighbor’s coffee shop, Symposium, a block away. If you want amazing sweets, The Hungry Hero Dessert Co. will satisfy any sweet tooth! Keep up the great work!

Excellent, top-​notch baked treats. The carrot bundt cake is superb. The cookies and scones are also excellent — of the caliber one would expect from a small-​batch Portland bakery. My only critique is that it is a tiny storefront and they don’t sell either bread or coffee. I will cut them some slack, however, because they are just starting out. Support them, and if they do well maybe they will expand. We desperately need independent, high-​quality food businesses like this in the south metro Portland area.

This place is great! A small dessert shop run by people who really care about their customers. They are very interactive with their customers on social media, and are very down to earth. And their food? HOOO BOY! From scratch made cookies and bars to the best friggin cinnamon rolls you can find. My two favorites are the potato chip chocolate chip cookies and the cinnamon rolls, which are only available on Sunday and run out quickly! They continually sell out, which just shows how good their stuff is. A must try!

What else do you need to say. Great baked goods. If you want anything baked and you’re in Sherwood, skip the grocery store. Come here. I do wish they opened a tad earlier on the weekends so I could get my cinnamon roll on first thing in the morning. Their selection is small-​ish, but growing. And what they have is amazing.

The Hungry Hero is a bakery gem in Sherwood, OR. We didn’t know about this gem until some of their baked goods was served at a birthday party. We tried the cream cheese swirl brownie and French Mac (macaroons). There was other goods too such as apple pie pops and chocolate chip cookies but didn’t get a chance to try it. The brownie was yum-​o-​licious, moist and just enough sweetness. The macaroon had a nice chewiness to it and the filling was amazing. I believe I had the chocolate cream. I loved the blue sugar sprinkles on the macaroon which was a nice touch to the boy’s birthday party. In addition to the desserts, we also had a birthday cake. I wasn’t sure of the flavor but it was good. I almost want to say it was some kind of chocolate. The frosting in between the layers was really good and tasty (not too rich). I’m typically not a frosting person.
One of these days when I’m in the area, I for sure would love to visit the store front. The menu online looks to good not to go in. I’m already drooling. There are many options for events. I’m already thinking about my next event.
See you soon!
