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!

I ended up getting a walnut roll ($2.50) and a jambon-beurre ($7.00). Although there weren't any ham sandwich in the display case, the woman at the register informed us that they'd be able to make one for us on the spot. The walnut roll had been sitting around in the case all day so the outside had developed a hardened crust that was a bit difficult to chew through. That said, the inside had plenty of walnuts, great flavor, and would have been really nice toasted up in an oven. The jambon-beurre here is as good as it gets: high quality butter on artisanal bread, with a simple piece of ham on top. The pickled onions and pickles on the side were a nice touch as well. I wish more places would offer a jambon-beurre, but sourcing high-quality bread and butter is probably the biggest challenge for businesses. If you're here to get one item, I'd highly recommend either a baguette, or the jambon-beurre.

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.

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!

Both times I've been, I've gotten a meal to order as well as a few pastries/desserts to take with me.

I've heard about Lauretta Jean's pies for quite some time but have never actually made it inside to get me some and when I finally did make it in, it wasn't pie that I ordered. Overwhelmed by the fabulous display of baked goods that erupted in my face as I entered through the door, I did the one thing I said to myself I wasn't going to do - I ordered something other than pie. Ok, well now, I guess I just have to go back because I know there's some pie there calling my name. Cute and adorable, Lauretta Jean's is all it's reputation makes it out to be. Service was friendly and came with a smile. Ordering my chocolate cream puff was easy and quick, even with a short line ahead of me, and I downed that delectable treat so fast it made my head spin. I wish I'd gone back and gotten some pie as well but hey, you know that just means I have to return. Check out some of the kinds of pies: salted honey, lemon chess, chocolate honeycomb, tart cherry and more. As well as pies, there were brownies, cookies, scones, biscuits, rugalach and more fabulous items filling the display case. Quick - go get you some! And have an espresso to top it off! You won't be disappointed.

Location - Located in the plaza at Powell and 82nd with plenty of shared parking. Since it sits at the intersection of two major roads, getting in and out can be a bit challenging if you're going against the flow of traffic. Service - Every time I've visited, I've been in and out within minutes because the staff knows exactly what they're doing. As with any bakery, the selection becomes more limited later in the day. Flavor - I usually go with some type of pineapple bun, and I appreciate that it isn't overly sweet. If I had one suggestion, it would be a little more filling, such as taro. That said, at around $1.50 per bun, it's hard to complain.

While I enjoyed the sandwich I tried, prices were definitely on the higher side. The space itself could have used a midday cleanup - they were quite a few crumbs on the floor and some chairs left out of place. I got the Get Him To The Greek half-sandwich, as well as a full sandwich of their special (forgetting the name now). I will definitely come back when I'm in the area and looking for lunch or when I spot them at a market!
