    Great cafe and bakery! Homy, cozy, and a community hub of sorts. My friend and I enjoyed sharing a Sandwich and tomato soup with coffee to refuel after thrifting at some local vintage shops! Service is friendly. Bread is fresh. Prices are reasonable. Interior is cute and they also have outdoor seating! Clientele runs the gamut from young families to older locals.

    Egg and bacon breakfast sandwiches

    Sunday morning, visiting Portland, we wanted to pick up quick breakfast before starting our day. The line was out the door but it is small place. The workers worked through the line pretty fast. I ordered seasonal danish with cream cheese and blue berry, it was flaky sweet but not too sweet. Breakfast sandwich with egg and bacon, bread was little chewy for me. My friend likes his veggie breakfast sandwich. Street parking.

    It was very busy on a Saturday morning as expected but the line went by quickly. The staff was awesome and helpful. I ordered the breakfast sandwich on bolo roll with tomato relish on the side. Not a fan of the relish. The sandwich was very simple and could have used some type of sauce or maybe spread. The coffee was great though!

    the line was super long to get in so i ordered for pick up instead (was waiting for a separate event in the same area), it was about a 20 minute wait. i got the bacon egg croissant, tastes how it sounds and it was delicious. not sure what they do with their croissants but it was so flakey and crispy (kinda hurt my mouth but still so good). it would much more enjoyable if there was some kind of sauce in the sandwich. for what i got, it was a bit overpriced. however i would get it again if i was in the area, it was convenient, and if i was craving it!

    Biscuit heaven! I can't speak to any of their pastries but I can speak to their chocolate chip cookies (amazing) and biscuit sandwiches (also amazing). Great location in sellwood - there is limited seating so just be prepared to either take it to go or wait for a table! My favorite thing is going to yoga and then coming over here to grab a coffee and something fun.

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!

The staff at various locations is always friendly, service is prompt, and the atmosphere is clean and simple. The croissants have great lamination, and there are other pastry choices too!

Come early because they do run out of pastries. Everything I've ordered has tasted great. The croissants are especially good. Very flavorful and buttery. Lots of unique flavors too, and in the macarons as well. The space itself is small with almost no seating and it's too crammed to form an appropriate line. You have to balance on small steps at some point. Not ideal. I would normally give this bakery 4-5 stars, but I think they deserve only two stars for my personal experiences. The staff has never been all that friendly, and on my last visit (and last for a while or ever) one woman was so rude to me I was so shocked I just stood there with my jaw hanging open until I finally regained my wits and just stepped away. I don't even know what caused her attitude, I had ordered and paid, but she didn't like how I was waiting for my bag of food, I guess. I don't know. But I won't be going back anytime soon even if I lived in Portland. Bummer because it's very tasty.

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!

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.
