    Another stellar gluten free restaurant in Portland! Kirari West is a place that oozes with quality. I was impressed with the location and how cute the restaurant is. They definitely take pride in the establishment - and it the food is just as good as well. This gluten free menu is full of delicious items. My favorite of them all was the cinnamon roll. When it's hot and fresh this thing can't be beat. It's pillowy soft and perfectly sweet. Eating it is a glorious experience that I think just about everyone would enjoy. You can hardly tell it is a gluten free item. This is quite possibly the best gluten free cinnamon roll I've ever had. On the savory side of things, I also enjoyed a turkey and avocado sandwich along with a bowl of minestrone soup. I'd say the sandwich gets about 80% there in terms of comparing with a standard sandwich. Gluten free bread typically has less chew than glutinous bread, but I was still impressed with how close it gets. The soup was a touch too salty for me, but a soup and sandwich combo is never bad. I also ordered a smoothie which I highly enjoyed. It was fun having the little bits of texture in it to give a nice mouthfeel to the drink. It was nice and cold and perfect for the hot summer day we visited on.

    I ordered the jackfruit panini. It was delicious with the kale salad on the side. I will definitely visit again and thought it was the perfect location to work and snag a meal. I want to try the smoothies or açaí bowls in the future. It was very clean!

    Excellent gluten-free options here as a dedicated facility! The store itself has a chill vibe, is very clean, and service is friendly. You order at counter and they bring food to table, and can watch some of the pastry chefs at work. We got the custard bun and almond brioche, and had asked them both to be warmed while we ate there. The custard bun was soft, pretty light, and filled with custard that wasn't too sweet. Delicious! I think the texture of bun made it feel like it could have also gone really well with something like pão de queijo, since it had a little bit of density to it. The almond brioche was also excellent! Overall, I really enjoyed this place, and would definitely consider returning.

    Tuna salad

    So yummy! I've been dying to try this place out for a while now, and I just so happened to be in the area for it. Note there's only street parking available, but there's lots of shops and stores around nearby to walk around. :) I walked in around noon, was greeted kindly by all the staff and there was already a decently sized line but the line went by super quickly. I like how there's laminated menus right as you walk in you can take over while you wait to order at the counter. I ordered their tuna salad with sweet onion dressing, as well as their mango smoothie. I am STILL thinking about the salad!!! It was so fresh, the dressing was to die for soo flavorful. The smoothie was also super refreshing to wash it all down! I can't wait to stop by once more after my monthly skincare appointments across the street, it'll bet favorite treat to look forward to

    The most wonderful cinnamon gluten-free

    I went to Kirari West again and somehow it was even better than last time. We got the cinnamon rolls and the Japanese-style custard bread and I genuinely considered canceling the rest of my day. Absolutely, unapologetically, mother-effing DIVINE. If I lived closer, this place would be a problem. A delicious, carb-scented problem. I already drive 30-40 minutes just to get my hands on these breads, and I would do it again without hesitation. Yes. Yes. And yes all day long. I need more of the Japanese custard bread bread. I am currently drooling. Please send help. Or bread. Mostly bread... with custard. The lovely taste of the bread that's not too sweet filled with custard that is also the perfect amount of sweet. The cinnamon rolls... if you are gluten-free, I would definitely run to this place. The customer service is so kind whenever I ask about any other allergies they make sure to know. The seating is a fun filled modern vibe. we made a few friends haha. I love that you can buy bread there and the bread is also delicious. See you at kirari West! Ps. Save me some pastries for me! Cheers mates!

    Excellent pastry | gluten free We stopped by here for the first time to pick up some bakery goods. The bread is excellent! We picked up 2 Japanese custards, blueberry scone, and a cinnamon brioche. This is a real treat coming here because it's gluten free and not too sweet. The Japanese custard is really good with lots of custard. The brioche is popular too. They also have an almond brioche. $25 for 4 pastries. This looks like an excellent brunch spot. They also offer quinoa bowls and health foods. They have a nice selection of smoothies I'd like to try next time.

    Love this place. Have been multiple times and ordered multiple different items, always good. Great place to bring a laptop and work. Daybreak bowl, cluckwork bowl, cinnamon brioche, mango-go dance smoothie all recommended

    Almond brioche, Japanese custard bun

    This place was so good we actually went back. We were on the hunt for a gluten-free bakery and heard that this was the place to stop at. At first we were just going to get drinks, as we wern't hungry at the time so we started off with a berry smoothie and a strawberry matcha. Both were quite good. After some encouragement, tried the cinnamon roll. That sealed the deal that we needed to come back and try some other goodies. Day two we got the French toast with bacon and egg, Japanese custard puff, and almond brioche. All of these were delicious, and provided enough food for brunch for two. The mark of a good gluten-free baked good is that you don't even know that it's gluten free. The egg was well cooked, so was the thick cut bacon, and to my surprise dipping the Greens from the salad in the double berry vinaigrette with like eating candy. The French toast was thick cut, dence and eggy, paired nicely with the syrup. The almond brioche was probably one of the best I've ever had. The Japanese custard puff was delicious, especially the custard! Highly recommend giving it a try whether you can eat gluten or not!

    Tuna Sandwich and Soup
    Zach S.

    My wife and I are always looking for delicious gluten-free restaurants and had the pleasure of stopping at Kirari West. We got their tuna sandwich, which came with a delicious chicken and vegetable soup, a London Fog, and by far the best gluten-free cinnamon roll we have ever tried. Needless to say, Kirari West made a regular of us. The place was clean and quiet, with a nice rotation of different music each time we visited. Not to mention the welcoming staff. Whether you're gluten-free or not, we HIGHLY recommend coming here.

    Japanese custard bread and a cinnamon roll

    Fresh and delicious Gluten Free cafe! Loved the complete GF menu. My best friend has ciliac, and there was no concern for cross-contamination whatsoever. The food was spectacularly fresh, and packed with quality ingredients. The baked goods were so tasty and didn't resemble any of the typical GF options. Highly recommend the Japanese bread with fresh custard. The best! Only wish there were more options on the menu. Service was great! Patient staff at the counter answered all of our questions. Ambiance is casual cafe. Not quiet but not too loud.

    Everything is gluten-free!!!! Walking in the ambience is gorgeous. Lots of seating. The music isn't too loud and you walk up when you are ready to order. There is no pressure to be ready by a certain timeframe if you need that extra moment to look over the menu. I also love that there is a pastry case towards the front and you have the ability to buy bread to take home which I ended up doing. it has been a long time since I have had a custard filled donut if you will and this did not disappoint having champagne poetry next-door always made me a little jealous because nothing over there is gluten-free however it was such a smart decision to place this restaurant where it is because I never feel left out and having this many options to turn to while my friends get their sweet treat.

    Incredible gluten free bakery! Everything is gluten free and the ambiance is so cute! Service was great and everything was very clean. Went on a Tuesday and there was no wait. I got the Japanese style custard bread and cinnamon roll. Delicious!! Orange juice was also very cold and tasty.

    I visit Portland 1-2x/year. My last time in town was right when Kirari opened, and I loved the food! But I thought it was kind of weird that they didn't have coffee. I still don't see it on the menu or in any reviews--do they have coffee now?

    We visited Twisted Croissant to pick up some treats to tide us over on our drive back up to…read moreSeattle. Walking in less than an hour before closing, we were surprised to see most of the items still in stock! We ended up picking four things to try: Vanilla Bean Kouign Amann ($7) - This pasty has a sweet yet salty exterior that's complementary in flavor rather than clashing. It's accentuated with a crunchy glazed and caramelized sugar layer that's on the sweeter side. The interior is interesting. There's a cavernous gap right in the center that's filled with a sickly sweet melted sugar syrup. It's unpleasantly sweet and very cloying. The puffed and filled area is large enough that it compresses the other layers so the kouign amann is dense. I've never had a kouign amann quite this sweet before. (3/5) Meyer Lemon Olive Oil Cake with Thyme ($5.50) - This cake is so moist and rich, thick and dense, fatty and rich, that it feels like I"m eating a slab of butter. I'm sure it has just as many calories too! It's quite sweet, although not nearly to the level of the kouign amann. Overall, it's just a really rich and decadent cake. (4/5) Blueberry + Vanilla Cream Brioche Donut w/ Earl Grey ($6) - The top of the pastry is dressed with a cream that has an unmistakably strong bergomot earl grey taste. I wish there was way more cream - there's essentially only a dab on top! The rest of the donut is filled with a custardy light blueberry and vanilla jam. It's not too sweet and has an excellent high quality blueberry fragrance, creating an exceptionally strong blueberry taste. The jam is not too thick and is somewhat syrupy from sugar. The donut itself is really soft and extremely airy. It's the fluffiest donut I've eaten in a long time. (5/5) Raspberry Rose Cruffin ($8.50) - This pastry has some fun dehydrated raspberries sprinkled right on top of a light and fluffy cream that's not too sweet. The cruffin base is buttery in taste and great lamination even when filled with the custard and rose/raspberry cream. This is a heavy cruffin that's very filling. (5/5) Twisted Croissant certainly does some some really delectable treats. It's one of my favorite bakeries in Portland!

    Twisted Croissant was definitely one of my favorite bakeries in the city, however, they have…read moresignificantly raised their prices, and the pastries are much smaller. I'm not sure that I can justify spending $7 to $12 on a single pastry. This will have to be my special occasion bakery, I suppose. Additionally, I had a less than pleasant exchange with one of the employees. It kind of caught me off guard because that has never happened before. Maybe she was just having a rough day.
