Desserts are nice and cold and for those with food allergies, allergens are neatly labeled on both the informational placard on the side and on the box. The staff keep the machine stocked pretty regularly so there's always something tasty inside. I went with the lemon curd tart this time and it was delicious! Prices for an individual sized treat runs about $12-16 overall.

I stopped in mid afternoon on a weekday, so it was pretty quiet, which meant I had free run of the place to poke around and also try to figure out how the vending machine machines worked. Fortunately, all I had to do was actually read the posted directions and voilà, dessert! I was surprised by the price at first, but can't deny and it was a high-quality dessert. I tried the hazelnut chocolate mousse cake which had a name that I've completely forgotten now of course! It took me a while to find it while I was there, but there is a menu on a table that describes what each of the desserts are, since they are only identified by name in the vending machine.

I got an apricot tart and a vanilla and almond pastry with several sliced caramelized apples on top. Both had crusts that were heavy, dense, with an off putting taste. The inside lacked flavor.

After all these years, it's still one of my favorite places to bring friends who have never been before. Don't come here expecting a full dinner menu - come here for dessert. This is where you end your night. Grab an affogato, a coffee drink, or one of their many decadent desserts and settle in. They're open late, making it the perfect nightcap after dinner elsewhere or a cozy stop in the wee hours of the night.

We waited about 20 min to get seated, which was alright, but then after being seated we waited another 20 minutes and decided to leave because no one had attempted to acknowledge our table.

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!

Why, oh why have I never been to Twisted Croissant before? Located in Irvington on Broadway, this…read morebakery produces some of the most delicious pastries I've had in a long time. Crispy, airy, buttery and oh, so delicate, my raspberry cruffin was the dessert dreams are made of! If you've never had a cruffin... what are you waiting for?! It's croissant dough baked into a muffin shape. And the particular version I ordered today was filled with sweet and creamy vanilla custard and raspberry jelly. My mouth is watering describing this now, a true sign I'll be returning to experience this delicacy time and time again. There are three locations of Twisted Croissant in Portland, and this is the only one I've visited. The interior has a classic Parisian bakery vibe, clad in white subway tile from floor to ceiling. The bakery case in front of the store is beautifully stocked with fresh pastries, perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee or tea. However, be advised, there are only two tables in the back of their public space, so it's not particularly inviting space to sit and enjoy your breakfast. Given the location, I assume there is outdoor seating in the summer months, but don't quote me on that. Regardless, run here if you haven't been. These baked goods are worth the visit!
