It looks like it has opened up a little bit more than last time and doesn't feel too crowded anymore. The desserts are so delicious and it's fun to try new things on the menu. I've been here a couple times only for dessert. The Mango Tango is always a safe choice if you like tropical desserts, the dark chocolate mousse was delicious as well and not overly sweet. I look forward to trying a few more times next time I go.

I love Pix, both old school and post-COVID iterations…read more Back in the day PIX was for late nights, and honestly I don't really know what their actual schedule is now. They're essentially 24/7 because during Covid they made the incredibly bizarre and ingenious move to put their insanely beautiful patisserie in old school slot-style cafeteria vending machines. So during isolation one could run out in your mask and gloves, stay six feet away from the person behind you, and yank open any door to reveal an amazing little dessert behind each one. It was a taste of restaurants (professional desserts!!!) that we all missed so much. But it wasn't a gimmick that went away like the closed bubble dining pods. The cafeteria vending machines have stayed. I've picked up multiple different styles to have lots of dessert options at a birthday, I've stopped there in the middle of the night for an after-hospital cheering up, it's basically made for wandering over after making love any time of day or night. They somehow stay beautiful, fresh, and delicious in this little gimmicky machine. It's fun, whimsical, and I think some of the best patisserie in town.

When I heard Portland had a dessert vending machine, I knew it had to be on the list of places to…read morevisit! I stopped in mid afternoon on a weekday, so it was pretty quiet, which meant I had free run of the place to poke around and also try to figure out how the vending machine machines worked. Fortunately, all I had to do was actually read the posted directions and voilà, dessert! I was surprised by the price at first, but can't deny and it was a high-quality dessert. I tried the hazelnut chocolate mousse cake which had a name that I've completely forgotten now of course! It took me a while to find it while I was there, but there is a menu on a table that describes what each of the desserts are, since they are only identified by name in the vending machine.

Service is helpful and friendly. They can answer questions and are happy to chat about ingredients. It's not the coziest vibe but it is nice and clean inside the restaurant. I had to write a review after trying the maple bacon croissant. I tore into it straight out of the bag on my walk home and barely saved enough for a photo (you're welcome and sorry for the bite marks!!). This thing is so delicious! It is pricey at almost $8 for 1 piece but if you want a nice fall flavored treat, this may be worth the splurge.

I went in for a double espresso shot and saw the cutest mini croissants you will ever see in your life. Obviously the pastry selection was a bit limited since everything is made fresh, but trust me I can always find something to enjoy.

Holy pie! How does one write a review for the best pie shop and bakery one has ever been to? I…read moresuppose it's one word at a time. So here we go... 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.

This place seemed so popular, like a cute bakery breakfast shop where you can get some sweet treats for brunch with friends on the weekend. My brownie was huge and heavy.

They're open late, making it the perfect nightcap after dinner elsewhere or a cozy stop in the wee hours of the night.

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!

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!
