I lucked out with street parking around the corner and after a brief wait in this pocket bakery/cafe, I purchased one each: rose croissant, vanilla rum canele, and a lemon morning bun. Tiny spot, but loaded speed cart and stacking bins with quality products. I also enjoyed my brief convo with the counter person. The few indoor tables and the sidewalk benches were all full. No worries, since for me, it was a very brief visit. If you are interested in the classics, but with fresh, innovative twists, Nuvrei is a obligatory stop while in downtown Portland.

The most lovely spot!…read more Nuvrei is a petite bakery and coffee shop whipping up delish pastries and drinks. We popped in for breakfast and got a Veggie Bagel, Egg and Cheese Croissant, and an Iced Latte. Everything was made so intentionally! The Veggie Bagel was probably one of the best bagel sandwiches I've ever had. It consisted of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, dill, schmear, and I chose the everything bagel to pull it all together. The Egg and Cheese Croissant was so simple, but so good. I think they're known for their croissants? It was super buttery, flaky, and insanely good! I love that their egg was cooked over-medium instead of the usual scrambled. Super yum! It was just so good. It tasted home-made and full of love.

Everything is very high quantity. It's very apparent that the bakers are very experienced.read more

This allows for patrons to wait inside without feeling congested but also means you'll have to be quick whenever a table does clear out. The selection of items here aren't much so most people probably come here for their lunch/entree menu. They assemble everything fresh it appears-- they heat up croissants at the griddle and use the toaster oven to heat up others. The cookie was intensely dense and rich in chocolate. The larger sea salt flakes added such a nice contrast to the sweetness.

We visited Twisted Croissant after seeing a surprise bag pop up on TGTG for end of day treats. When…read morewe arrived, about an hour and a half before close, they still had a decent number of pastries in the display window, all of which looked amazing. Pricing seems to be quite high, especially for Portland, but the quality also seems to be stellar. We dug into the food after we got back to our hotel room: Seasonal Big Breakfast Croissant ($11) - This hefty croissant is topped with thick cut bacon rolled over a slice of tomato slathered with pesto. It gives a salty and savory umami punch, specially when combined with the caramelized and crunchy cheese layer draped over the decadent croissant base. The croissant is stuffed with a mixture of salty and herbal breakfast sausage pieces, mushroom, egg, red bell pepper and cheese. There's plenty of filling but the lamination still looks astoundingly good. At many other bakeries, adding anything at all inside causes the laminated layers to collapse and a giant air-filled bubble to develop as the moisture causes steam to puff the interior layers together. This one, on the other hand, still has tons of distinct flaky layers, buttery and slightly sweet. I don't know how they do it. I especially love the presentation of this croissant - it's essentially a box with a design that resembles a wrapped Christmas present. (5/5) Raspberry Rose Cruffin ($8.50) - This cruffin is much taller than similar pastries from other bakeries, reaching perhaps four inches tall including the whipped icing, embedded with extremely tangy dried raspberry bits. I think it's supposed to be rose flavored, but the raspberry overwhelms any flowery notes. The cruffin is rolled in sugar, adding additional sweetness. The interior layering of the croissant is fantastic. It's exceptionally flaky and crisp, super buttery and rich in taste. After baking, the pastry is filled with pastry cream and a bit of raspberry jam. Overall another excellent croissant. (5/5) Seasonal Apple Crumble Danish ($7) - This is another layered pastry with a gorgeous design. It looks like it's made with two pieces of dough (puff pastry?) - a puck on the bottom then another wrapped around. The crispness on the sides is more pronounced than the other two croissants. The bottom isn't nearly as crisp, but it holds up to the heavy filling. The filling is sweet, cinnamony, and earthy with cooked down apples that still have some bite. I especially love the sweet crunchy crumble bits sprinkled on top! I don't really enjoy eating apple pie, but I found this one to be delicious. I was really impressed with the pastries I got from Twisted Croissant. This will be a definite revisit the next time I'm in Portland. (PS I'm really jealous that Portland has so many top-tier patisseries... I mean, Seattle has some great ones, but Portland really knocks it out of the park with the overall number of exceptional bakeries) Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms

They also offer espresso drinks though we did not get any this time. We came on a Wednesday morning and there was only one person working. It was surprisingly busy for a random weekday morning but service was still warm and friendly. The space was open and bright and spacious with an iconic croissant light. Plenty of table, window counter, and couch seating. Clean bathrooms and you bus yourself. My daughter loved her Marionberry Custard Tart. It was creamy, with the iconic Marionberry sweet and tart flavors, and the crust was flakey and crispy. The Lemon and Poppyseed and the Vanilla Bean Kouign Amann pull apart croissants were both hefty in weight but a flavorful delight! That Raspberry Rose Cruffin looked bomb so we will definitely have to come back to try more classic and seasonal flavors. The perfect treat!

They took us there and we enjoyed several of their delicious baked goods as well as drinks. My iced coffee with a cream top was pretty good. The coffee was as a little strong but I really enjoyed the cream top. My daughter in law had the strawberry matcha and liked it a lot and my son had the sparkling yuzu, which he thought was tasty. The thick pulp & peel gets a little stuck in the straw though. I would go back for the buns. They are crispy on the outside but soft inside. They reminded me of a croissant only without all the laminated layers. But they taste buttery and rich (the just right kind of rich, not too much). Everything has a little coarse salt on top, which I loved. The original was great, as was the chocolate, and the cream one had delicate whipped cream that oozed out when you bite into it. My son got a Nutella & banana that he loved too. They have some savory buns as well. The garlic one looked great and someone sitting next to us said it was filled with a buttery mixture inside. Next time I'm trying that!

We ordered the matcha cream top, the mentaiko and the berry cream salt bread and I have to say the…read morementaiko was definitely the start of the show. The flavors blended so smoothly and it was such a unique taste that I can definitely foresee myself craving and coming back for it! That being said, while the berry cream is a classic it wasn't anything too special (though we did get if freshly baked and it was warm with just the right about of crisp and saltiness). The matcha was a big disappointment - the cream top definitely detracted from the matcha notes to the point where I couldn't really taste the matcha at all. Service was amazing and the staff were quick to give us suggestions on what to order when we were torn between flavors. The interior was minimal and aesthetic and I loved spending the morning here relaxing in the sun. Came on a Sunday morning and there was no wait at all! Will be returning in the future for more salt bread, especially if they come out with more unique flavors like the mentaiko.

Limited outdoor sidewalk seating, but inside, there's a lot of seating at a few tables and along a lengthy banquette.

The staff person greeted me warmly and was patient while I perused the menu. I chose to sip onsite a 9oz drinking chocolate which was served with whipped cream and seltzer water on a tray. Definitely not something to guzzle, but to savor slowly and pick up on the complex flavor and luscious texture. A wonderful find!
