Likely the best birthday freebie in town, Pip’s Original gives out a dozen free birthday doughnuts to those who come in on their birthday — or within the next seven days. As always, every doughnut is made hot and fresh to order. Those willing to shell out a few extra bucks can pair the doughnuts with some of the city’s finest chai. Visitors need to be able to prove their birth date (via a driver’s license, for instance).

Customers of this Portland chain of cheery cupcake shops can receive a free full-sized cupcake on their birthday. Visitors can choose from a long list of fancy flavors like chocolate cake with espresso mousse or pink champagne with vanilla buttercream, as well as vegan and wheat-free options. Fat Cupcake also operates locations in Happy Valley and Oregon City.

This chain of fondue spots operates a downtown Portland location, where couples on dates and groups of teens on prom night dunk bread and fruit in raclette or beer cheese. After a birthday meal of apple slices and duck breast in molten cheese, customers of the Melting Pot get a complimentary box of six chocolate-covered strawberries. A purchase is required, and there’s a limit of one box per table (sorry, twins). Something else to keep in mind: If strawberries are hard to find, the Melting Pot sometimes swaps them out for a similar, in-season fruit.

Drinkers can chase down all that birthday cake in true Portland fashion with an ice cold beer. Portlanders can visit any Rogue pub to join its Rogue Nation Citizens program; those who sign up at least one day before their birthday can get a free 32-ounce beer. Rogue is open for outdoor drinking on the patio, as well as takeout.

This Brazilian steakhouse chain offers birthday guests a free dessert after a meal of picanha and beef ribs. Dessert options change often, with things like creme brulee, cheesecake options, chocolate brigadeiro, Ghirardelli cake, Key lime pie, or tres leches cake. It’s open for onsite dining, as well as delivery and takeout.

Portlanders can stop in the Portland City Grill for stunning views of the city below, plus a free chocolate ganache lava cake for diners on their birthday. Those interested should let staff know when making a reservation and they’ll take care of the rest; gluten-free diners can swap out the cake for creme brulee or sorbet. No purchase necessary.
