BBQ Pork Pineapple Bun, Red Bean Pineapple Bun, Hot Dog Bun, Egg Tart, Sponge Cake
Amanda M.

I came here again to order another birthday cake. It was easy to order and pick up. Cake was not too sweet, lots of fresh fruit and loved the cream. Sorry no pictures of the cake again. Also ordered some freshly baked bread, such as their hot dog bun, coconut cocktail bun, pineapple bun and bbq pork pineapple bun.

This is our favorite Chinese bakery both for the usual baked snacks (bao, tarts, egg tarts, sesame balls, raisin bread), and their amazing birthday cakes! 8" Cakes are only $25 that are 2-3 layers high with fresh fruit and light whipped cream topping both in the middle and on top. Be warned that their most popular items will often sell out by the late morning or early afternoon, so try to go early or call ahead to have them reserved for later pickup.

Pandan cake 10 inches

Ordered the pandan cake for my mom's birthday and it was delicious! Very light, not too sweet. Everyone loved it!

I've been shopping at the Winco near Mei Sum Bakery for a while now. I didn't even realize this place that I'd seen some good reviews for was right here! It's easy to miss in this little shopping mall. Thanks as always to other Yelpers for pointing out hole in the wall places that are worth checking out. I stopped by around 11am on a weekday, worried they'd be low on stuff. Not so. Of course, I don't know what I may have missed but there was plenty to choose from! I got some old favorites that I knew I would like as well as some things that just looked good. I don't remember the exact numbers but I think I got 6 items for like $11. It was less than I expected! I enjoyed everything I got! I'm not an expert in Asian baked goods so you may be a harsher critic than I. There's plenty more I'd like to come back to try and I'd order some of the same things again.

This is still a solid place to get some quick pastries at a reasonable price. It's best to go earlier to ensure a better selection of items. This visit I had their hot dog bun, bbq pork bun, and a Pineapple bun with taro inside. The selection was minimal as I came later in the day.

Quite a hidden gem. Great selection of well-sized savory Chinese pastries, everything tasted fresh and not like the kind where you know it's been sitting out for days. Really enjoyed the Pineapple BBQ Pork Bun, Pineapple Custard Bun, Egg Tart, Dry Pork Bun. Bring cash with you - otherwise it's a $10 minimum for card. If you're just buying a treat for yourself, you might be surprised how much you're getting once you realize all the pastries are between the $1 to $2 range. Service can be quite sluggish. Even though the staff are quick, customers can take a while to order. Can't blame them entirely though; the pastries are so affordable, how many are you supposed to buy?? Should I save some for breakfast tomorrow? Get a batch for mom? Coming back again next time I'm 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!

If you're looking for a big croissant with the possibility of unique rotating flavors, you've found…read morethe perfect spot! 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!

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!

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! 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.

You got empanadas, suman, all sorts of baked goods, sans rival and much more. Grayson was helping us out. He was great to chat with, and that really makes a place memorable. So glad for relatives who told me about this place. They are out of state but found it on social media and asked if I knew about this place. Now I know. There's only street parking, it's Portland. There's also a neat park a couple of blocks away, so that can be a great spot to enjoy your treats from here. We were there around 2pm so it wasn't busy. It's a small place so keep that in mind. But if there's a line, it's definitely worth the wait. Coming from the Bay Area, I'm happy to know a place that can fulfill some of my filipino bakery cravings.

They had a variety of pastries, both sweet and savory, to choose from and the service was so nice, telling us about the different Filipino dishes and even recommended their favorites! Got the ensaymada, mango and ube, and a chicken empanada (not pictured). The ensaymada was light and airy. Used real slices of mango to top it off but the glaze seemed like an artificial glaze, which didn't bother me too much or take away from the pastry. The empanada was very good, ratio of ingredients inside was good and the bread itself was very flaky. Had a solid experience and the staff was all so nice. Will come back to try their other pastries!
