Twisted Croissant & Patisserie — Restaurant in Portland

Edit Aug 2025 - they sell leftover pastry 😑 While I’ve loved Twisted Croissant for years and recommend it to everyone, today the chocolate croissant we received is Not Fresh. Pretty sure it’s leftover from yesterday. I know that day-old croissant taste, chewy, not crispy or flaky. They don’t even bother to re-toast it. Very disappointed.

Not sure if I’ll give it another chance. At least not this location. ——————- Can’t go wrong with this spot, raspberry rose cruffin is always good, we also tried the seasonal apricot croissant tart w/ fromage blanc which I like even more. Crispy croissant layers, nicely apricot jam not too sweet not too source, the bottom is like a cheesecake. A lot of sitting in this spot. Less...

Sorry I wasn’t rude but cutdown the star rating as I didn’t like the taste of the one I tried. I updated my rating as it may not be fair to...

Visited during their soft opening and the pastries were delicious. I can’t speak to the coffee but the baked goods are a great addition to the neighborhood.

If I can provide some constructive feedback, everything is HUGE and seriously decadent, which seems to be their signature style. It definitely looks like a successful formula given the expansion, but I’d love it if there were some smaller and simpler options besides just a plain croissant for those without such a sweet tooth.
