    Order: lemon croissant, and vanilla latte hot ProsS the croissant was really really good! Not super tart or super sweet. It was just right. The latte was okay not my fav. Cons: n/a

    Ocean Roll
    Jeanie N.

    You could tell me that Sparrow Bakery sold nothing but the Ocean Roll and I'd believe you. This is a very specific craving in which I used to drive to Bend for but now I only have to cross town to get it. Ocean roll is a cinnamon roll on steroids. It's elevated, it's got the cardamon crispies that you Hoover into your mouth because it would be a waste of precious gold if you don't. It goes incredibly well with tea. It's too big for me to finish in one sitting so I get to enjoy more in the afternoon or if I have willpower, the next day.

    I absolutely enjoyed my visit to this location. It has seating indoor and outdoor. They were quick to take my order and provided excellent customer service. I enjoyed the variety of items on the menu. I really enjoyed the bacon breakfast sandwich, 10/10. The Lox Bagel was phenomenal as well. The atmosphere and vibe are welcoming, and the area feels safe.

    This was our first time to Sparrow, and my husband and I loved it! Between us two, we got a chocolatine, an ocean roll, a vanilla bean latte, and a caramel latte, and everything was so good. The pastries, especially, were fantastic. The chocolatine (a rolled croissant with chocolate chips) was still warm and was beautifully laminated. The ocean roll (a vanilla cardamom roll) had a lovely light floral cardamom flavor, which was so nice when combined with the fluffy and partially caramelized dough. We loved these pastries and will definitely be back. We stayed while we enjoyed our pastries and coffee, and it was a nice place to hang out. I'd definitely recommend coming here!

    Pumpkin spice latte

    My husband tried an Ocean Roll at a Yelp event and has been wanting to bring me here ever since. Now that I've tried one, I'll be dreaming of them. I'm a major cardamom lover and the balance of spice and sweet in this giant roll is just right. I'd honestly say balance is the main word for everything I got. In addition to the Ocean Roll, I got a lemon twist, an iced pumpkin spice latte and a non-bacon breakfast sandwich. The pumpkin spice latte didn't have a ton of pumpkin flavor, but it was a delightful fall spice latte. I don't like my coffee too sweet, and this was just right for me. The breakfast sandwich was delicious, too. The crunch of the croissant accentuated the soft avocado, cheese and egg inside. I've been thinking about it ever since and am honestly holding myself back from going back as I write this... wish me luck

    Great little bakery in St John's! The bacon breakfast sandwich changed my life. We also got a couple of their pastries (the lemon twist and ocean roll were both yummy). It does get pretty packed on the weekends if you want to sit inside so keep that in mind!

    26. Chicken Waldorf

    A sunny little coffee shop in the St.John area. I've had their bakery elsewhere before but I can confirm that it's better right at the source. They got a pretty comprehensive pastry showcase, as well as breakfast sandwiches and bagel sandwiches (apparently, they make their bagels in house as well!). I went with their Ocean Roll, Waldorf Sandwich, and a 16 oz Americano - a big treat to say the least. The Ocean Roll was decadent. The taste of cardamom really stood out, making the roll a little sweet and a little savory; very unique! The Waldorf Sandwich was their hand-rolled croissant filled with chicken salad. Their croissant was on the breadier end of croissants but still buttery and worked great as a sandwich. They're very generous with the filling as well, huge chunks of chicken and apples, making for a refreshing and filling salad. The sandwich was big, can easily be shared. Got a bite of their Lox Bagel as well and it's tantalizingly good. Their Americano was decent but nothing to write home about. Will be back for their baked goods for sure!

    I was pleasantly surprised at the size of this croissant. Crispy, crunchy, & sweet from the pistachio. Would have tasted even better if it were slightly warm. The cardamom latte was sweet and tasted as it sounds. I would come back to try more of their drinks and pastries!

    Was looking for something quick for breakfast before our long drive home. The Sparrow was opened early, had our to-go to favorites... english muffins, banana bread (sold in a slice or loaf), cinnamon roll (sold individually or 4 pack), cute holiday sugar cookies, and more cookies on display along with scones and bagels. Too bad their oven wasn't working so no hot sandwiches but no big deal, their lox bagel was good! Service was friendly and fast. I love their setup, merch, and will visit again. Ty team!

    This cafe was cute and we tried a few pastries. I thought the croissants were good but definitely a bit different than your traditional flaky croissant. I would almost describe them as bready.

    The Ocean Roll is amazing and so are the rest of their pastries. I typically go here mainly for the pastries but their lattes are also pretty good. The interior is really small so don't expect to sit inside but there is some additional seating outside on nice days however I typically just grab it to go. Service is typically quick and nice so moves well on those busy sunny weekends.

    These Ocean (Cardamom) buns are the bomb!

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!

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.

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.
