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!

Inside, they have a cozy setup with some tables for seating. Wifey and I ended up grabbing a Brownie and a Ham, Thyme & Gruyère Croissant. Both items were delicious! All of the staff are very friendly and welcoming here. There is a reason why this spot has over 1,000+ positive reviews!

The pastries themselves were absolutely delicious. We had the morning bun, chocolate croissant, and…read moreham-and-cheese croissant, and all of them were excellent. The drip coffee was great, and the latte was creamy while still having a strong coffee flavor. The downside was the cleanliness of the seating area. We sat at a table facing the display, and after we finished eating, I noticed spider webs all over the walls(as you can see in the pictures). It made me wonder how a place with such a big reputation allows the establishment to get to this point. Please clean the establishment more thoroughly. Dust and spider webs should not be falling near the food your customers eat.

If you can't finish the croissants day of, make sure to retoast them in the toaster oven! It will still be buttery and flakey and delicious! I love getting their bon bons as gifts for others (too expensive to just get for myself ) and my favorite pastry is their snickers bar. Gosh, not much else to say because others have such a good job with their reviews. They're currently looking for a new location and I'm sad to see them leave their old spot on Williams.

It's clearly a popular spot, and from what I hear, getting there early is key if you want their famous croissants. Everything we ordered was amazing a rocky road cookie, a chocolate croissant, and the ham and cheese croissant. Even two days later, everything was still tasty. The flaky layers were especially impressive. I'm a big rocky road fan and had never tried it as a cookie before this one was a winner and tasted fresh, not processed at all. Definitely looking forward to visiting in person next time.

They have a great selection of pastries. The croissants are so amazing. You can tell it's a good croissant from all the fluffy layers. It's got a good egg wash on top which makes it crispy on top and soft and buttery on the inside. I also had to get the tiramisu latte. It was made to perfection. I like my coffee sweet so this was right up my ally. I also got a cookie and brownie. When you heat up the cookie and brownie a bit, it's a little taste of heaven! If you're in the area, don't sleep on this place. It's a must try!

Stop by and try their desserts. They were so good. I forgot to take a picture.

Usually when visiting a new place I try to visit a different place every day, but St. Honore had such a selection I had to get 2 a day and still didn't get to try everything.

Make sure you get it heated, it melts the maple-eee goodness just enough and to mix the sugar with that salty goodness of the bacon....Sorry I got lost in the tastebud memory of it all. Going early in the morning, service is quick and friendly and you could easily find a seat amongst the locals. The one morning when I ordered a sandwich my food came out quickly and warm. Loved this place. Wish I were closer or visited more often!

You can really taste the quality in the buttery crusts . The key like pie especially deserves the hype! One thing I really love about this place is that they're always rotating seasonal and occasional flavors, so there's usually something new worth trying. The fruit pies taste fresh instead of sugary, and even the cream pies feel balanced and light. It's the kind of dessert spot where you end up thinking about your next slice before you've even finished the current one The shop itself is cozy but be prepared because it gets bust even in the evening. There's usually a line and seating can be limited, but honestly it makes sense considering how loved this place is. Definitely one of the best dessert spots in Portland.

For a real treat, get a ham& cheese croissant warm for breakfast, follow-up by an exquisite buttery kouign-amann (hard to pronounce but *absolutely* worth the effort).

But that's a small downside for how good everything else is.

We've had a couple of their sandwiches, which were fresh and delicious. You can also get a salad on the side with fresh vegetables and a tasty dressing. The only thing we haven't liked is the coffee. No matter what kind of drink we've had, it just hasn't been good. Otherwise, it would be 5 stars, easily. As for the service, the people who work there come across as a little intense and overly serious, but they are also quick and accurate. The restaurant itself has a nice cafe feel. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for some tasty treats and delicious breads.

Staffs were super hard working during busy lunch hours and they're cranking out delicious sandwiches. Huge fan of the Chopped Bada Bing Sandwich! The Sesame bread was very well-toasted.

A half is more than plenty for one sitting though. The Tu More Mole Sandwich was also super unique. This one only has one size, it seems. Very tender chicken mole stuffed to the brim with tasty salsa. Prepare lots of napkins for this one. There are some indoor seatings but their location is connected to a food pod area with cool outdoor patio seatings. Will definitely be back for more!
