Trendy bakery serving up picturesque croissants! Arrive early before they sell out. The croissants are buttery and crispy, while the cakes are beautifully decorated and delicious. They offer unique flavors like apricot and baklava custard pies.I ordered the chocolate croissant and rhubarb cake. The croissant was tender, and the filling was rich and decadent. Pastries are quite pricey but expected for a high-end cafe, around $7.50-9 per pastry and $4-7 for coffee/drinks. Street parking is available, but it gets crowded quickly, so you might have to walk. This place is perfect for little dates, studying, or a special treat.Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly!

I found this place during a Westmoreland urban walk......and what a great find!!!!!Located along Bybee Blvd. ,close the intersection of Milwaukie Ave. ,this location was conveniently situated about halfway into my neighborhood ramble.The great heady smell of " butta" is the first smell that greets you as you enter Twisted. A positive indicator if you're looking for croissants ?.The pastry selections were plentiful, and all looked delicious . Limiting decisions obviously would be difficult .I selected a marcona almond croissant and an apple cranberry ? croissant , although my eyes wanted 1 of EVERYTHING.Both were buttery and flavorful. Different. Not ordinary and loaded with filling. Coffee and tea were decent, but the pastry was definitely the highlight here.Handicap ♿️ very doable.Service efficient and friendly.It's not inexpensive but definitely value for money spent.Atmosphere is functionally stark and minimalistHighly recommended ?. I'll be back to expand my croissant grazing here at Twisted .

Holy cow! Today I bought a butter croissant and a baklava custard pie with citrus. The croissant was exactly what you should expect in a croissant. VERY flaky but fluffy and buttery inside. Delicious. Now, the custard pie: unbelievable. It's hard to describe how good it is. It's not served chilled so I highly recommend that you take it home and put it in the fridge for a few hours. I've never had anything like it. I hope it's not a one- time item they make. I will definitely go back even though I live 40 minutes away. They are very talented at this joint.

The food here is solid, the pastries are wonderful and creative. Unfortunately, the space and staff feel a little sterile... It's not the kind of place you'd want to sit and enjoy for a while.

Best croissant in town and everything else so far has been just perfect also. They are also at PSU Saturday

Service was awful. Don’t feel like going back even if pastry was fine.

I’m very particular about my baked goods, especially croissants (ok, I’m a croissant snob). I’ve spent enough time in France and in high-quality bakeries elsewhere to recognize that most croissants sold in the United States are terrible.This place is a welcome exception. The quality of their products is outstanding. I visited their Sellwood location with my husband on Sunday morning, and we ordered four items: a “big breakfast croissant”, a chocolate croissant, a vanilla kouign-amman, and a raspberry-rose cruffin. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the store had a really nice ambiance. I understand that it sometimes gets crowded, but we didn’t have that problem this visit.The breakfast croissant was square-ish and oversized, topped with bacon and filled with scrambled eggs, heated before serving; it was crunchy, flaky, and delicious.I expected the chocolate croissant to be a version of the French pain au chocolat (aka chocolatine), but it was unique… a traditional croissant shape with stripes of chocolate on the outside and wonderful bittersweet chocolate on the inside.A kouign-amman is a slightly obscure pastry that originated in Brittany, made with laminated dough and lots of butter and sugar… imagine a cross between a croissant and a sticky bun. They’re usually quite small, but this one was sizable and vanilla flavored. Not traditional, but amazing nonetheless.Finally, the cruffin (a hybrid between a muffin and a croissant) contained a raspberry filling with a hint of rose water, and was topped with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and whole raspberries. It was fantastic.The common element in all of these items was a croissant-style laminated dough, and they got it absolutely right… buttery, delicate, and crispy, almost shattering when you bite into it. The shop makes other pastries, many of which are not croissant-related, but I didn’t have an opportunity to try anything else. I’ll fix that next time I’m back, which I guarantee will be soon!

Making tasty treats with croissant dough? Count me in! (The brioche donuts are pretty good too.)Always so delicious. One of my favorite places in Portland! (Although I did miss the pumpkin cruffin this year. It's my absolute favorite thing that they've ever made and I didn't see it this year.)I know I'm in for a good day if I get out the door in time to make it here before work!

I was disappointed. I recently took a croissant baking class in Paris. The atmosphere is cold and sterile, the server was very nice but into their private chat. NO BATHROOM I WAS TOLD TO GO TO STARBUCKS the only thing left at12 on Sunday was an odd quiche and a bit greasy and cold in the
The cruffin was amazing. And their coffee does not get the attention it deserves. It was overall a great experience. A great place to catch up with friends.

A newer place. In wonderful sellwood. We had the Cappuccino and a ham/cheese croissant. Most of the times these are greasy, stale and dry. Not here. Fluffy, fresh and sumptuous. Okay maybe I got carried away. This is worth a try as the coffee is very good and the pastries varied and good.

Really delicious and high quality pastries and coffee with corresponding $$. A great treat!

The closest thing to a real fresh European croissant ? so good
