Jaciva's Bakery And Chocolatier

Coffee cake. Truffles. Sea salt u0026 chocolate caramels. No place better in town. Devastating news, September, 2023, that Jaciva's will be closing soon. They were our source, on our 30th anniversary, for the cake that my wife tried to get for our wedding. They've been my chocolate go to for every Valentine's Day, birthday, and anniversary since we moved to Portland. Thank you for your service

Used to be the best bakery in town... Not anymore. Extremely disappointed with the quality and appearance of my most recent cake. Whoever made/decorated it was amateur at best. The decorations were sloppy and the frosting uneven. I'm guessing whoever made it has never done ganache before. It was just goo, completely unset and not smooth at all. It made my cake (which was no better at all than box cake) look like it was melting. Even the most basic buttercream along the bottom was terribly done. A total waste of money for a tiny cake that a 9 year old could have made better. Maybe someday I'll give them a shot to redeem themselves but after how unsatisfied I was with my recent special order it won't be anytime soon. Jaciva's what happened to you?!😣

Jaciva’s Bakery did a fantastic job with our wedding cake and cupcakes! They were absolutely delicious and our guests loved them! They all turned out looking amazing and well put together! Their staff was very friendly and helped us with picking out what we needed and wanted. We are so sad to hear that they will be closing and we might have been one of the last customers of theirs to have been made a wedding cake!

My daughter ordered a lemon cake for myself and a chocolate cake for my brother to celebrate our 60 year twin Birthday. That was the best cake I have ever eaten!!!! It was beautifully made!!!! My cake was lemon layered and had a beautiful edible flower on top of the icing. The icing was very light and delicious. I want to thank you for making our Birthday so memorable. I could tell that the cakes were made with love. I know that I am repeating myself but I must say, that was the best cake I have ever eaten!!!! Thanks again :-) Kimberly Davenport

I’m so sad to hear that you are closing! You were my go to bakery when I lived in the Portland area and I looked forward to working the Portland Bridal Show for my Aunt and Uncle to get a piece of your cake. We had you recreate our parents wedding cake for their 2003 50 wedding anniversary. It was perfection, down to the swans. May God bless you and your family always. Thank you so much for all the delicious years we’ve had with you!

Came in with my brother, they had a great selection. Got the red velvet cupcake and it was delicious! Overall amazing place.

My family and I have enjoyed purchasing cakes from Jacivas for many years. I recently ordered a wedding cake from them, it looked beautiful and tasted great! We went with a simple icing design and had our coordinator help with placing flowers on it. It was challenging to communicate with their wedding team to both submit and confirm our order, which added stress to our overall experience. To avoid miscommunication with future clients, we would suggest noting which forms of communication are preferred by their team (ie. phone, email, in-person appointments, online portal etc.).

My wife ordered me a special birthday cake and I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was! They absolutely made my birthday cake dreams come true. Thank you so much!
