Definitely don't come here if you're hoping to get in and out quickly with your drink.

We had some time to waste and happened to park in front. The pastry display caught our eyes so we went inside. We got a rose croissant and the lemon poppyseed scone and they were delicious! We ended up back there after lunch for more pastries and coffee. Everything was delicious and the man serving us was very nice. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area.

My recs: - Chewy walnut chocolate cookie - any special croissant (not plain)
Baristas recs: - pistachio rose croissant (I’d try this next time) - rose croissant - chocolate croissant (I’d try this next time) - canele - chewy chocolate walnut cookie
Bad news first —This is NOT the place to get thin, buttery, european, melt in your mouth laminated layers. The croissants are open crumb so although the outsides look beautiful the insides are like an airy brioche (still tasty and airy, but not the point).
4/10 plain butter croissant — this is normally my favorite thing on the menu at any bakery, but their rendition is not much better than a costco croissant. Maybe if it were fresher I’d give it a 6. If you like airy light croissants and don’t care about lamination, this is for you though! I’d probably like it as a breakfast sandwich ingredient but wouldn’t get it again on its own.
6.5/10 rose croissant — my mom gave this at least a 7. This was noticeably fresher than the plain butter croissant and had a delicate sweet but not too sweet, neat to eat, and natural tasting pink rose glaze with small rose sugar crystals on top. Like an elevated floral glazed donut experience due to the brioche texture. If you want an aesthetic visually pleasing pink fairy princess meal this is for you.
7/10 almond croissant — visually squashed and dense which is always a good sign. Generous sliced almonds Tastier and fresher than the butter croissant. Inside is a more of a consistent fluffy moist crumb than a packet of buttery sweet paste which was interesting and pleasant.
9.7/10 chewy chocolate walnut cookie perfected the top layer of the edge brownie experience. - Airy crisped up shell that caves in under your fingers - TRULY chewy (not dense fudgy or cakey) rich even cocoa middle with that nostalgic mineraly old fashioned baking soda aftertaste - Walnuts halves are large but fresh, thin ridged and not overpowering. 4-5 evenly distributed in the middle to let the edges shine. Thank you for that. - My mom stopped to comment on it without prompting, “it’s a unique chewy not a general chewy” — so better believe. - idea: although this would make a nut hater love walnut cookies, maybe make a toasted smores version without walnuts? That would go AWFFF.
10/10 service — I respect when a cafe staff try to sell their product a little bit before you choose, even if it’s bullshit. He asked if it was my first time, and said something about how this location is new and the bakery has been making croissants for over a decade, and that got me interested. He asked if a bag or a box would be easier (in that situation I was about to go on a long drive so bag was way better and I appreciated that he didnt assume). Doesn’t take much!
8/10 atmosphere: Clean and classy/modern looking space - not great for studying or working with a laptop or staying long. - The place was small so I didnt really bother to check, but at first glance not much inviting seating or outlets - Inconspicuous entrance in a big gray building.

I love this place for a quick breakfast and a great lunch. Traditional and non traditional croissants, savory and sweet pastries. Lunch sandwiches include the use of great cheeses and truffle oil on excellent bread. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches include homemade jelly. Staff are incredibly efficient and fun to chat with. Coffee, both drip and espresso, are top notch.

No half and half for coffee. Croissant didn't seem fresh. Meh
Delicious food and coffee. Tried to go 3 days in a row while in town. Not overpriced. A few seats inside. Not sure what time they really open tho since I went at 720 am and it wasn't going yet.

Modern interior, and solid pastries. The rose crossaint tasted more like a donut, as I think the icing made it so the crossaint wasn't crispy anymore. The almond crossaint was better imo. The sandwich was tasty and I liked the bread.

You already know and love the croissants and cookies but the turkey sandwich at this location is the best turkey sandwich I’ve had in Portland. Amazing location right in the heart of downtown and really friendly service. I’ll be back soon to try the breakfast menu. An absolute gem.
