Twisted Croissant & Patisserie

What a perfect spot with a perfect pastry! if you're looking for some delicious pastries I'd recommend this spot. I believe this is the second location but they're both amazing! I usually get the Cruffin and take some back home because it's just so gooooood. The texture and crunch hits perfect and the raspberry inside the Cruffin just makes it better! The service is always great. Portland is great. Friendly. Welcoming. Happy. Cheerful. Outgoing. Thank you. The location inside is pretty big. Plenty of seats. Park on the street. There's a water dispenser if you're thirsty. Great spot to chill and catch up with your friends. Awesome place for some pastries

The pastries here are out of this world! The pan suisse (sp?) is my favorite. If you're looking for a fancy or special breakfast pastry, this is your place! The solid location is clean and bright and the staff was friendly and helpful.

This place is alright. We tried the raspberry rose cruffin, the creamy coconut puff, and the butter croissant. For me the measure of any pastry place is the based on the quality of the croissant and this place didn't disappoint. The shop has a nice seating area and it was nice to get out of the heat and enjoy a little air conditioning while having my coffee and digging into our desserts. The bathrooms are nice and clean. I like any place that has a self-service water station.

Blue Star has nothing on this donut! Wild Strawberry and Fromage Blanc- perfect combination of sweet and tart plus fluffy fried dough!

Back home in my neighborhood and I had no plans to post any reviews. I'm vacationing from my responsibilities (job and foodie wise). Here I am minding my own business and then all of a sudden they open up a big time bakery right in my neighborhood and right in my face. What's a guy to do? Been to Twisted about 3 times now. The offerings are ridiculously delicious. This Marion berry pull apart is a seasonal offering and it knocked me over completely. Dense, fruity, flaky, and it's a pull apart. How do you not love that? I know the makings of a great bakery when I see one. If this place was here while I was growing up I would be 446 pounds. Congrats Twisted. Keep going strong. (4.6 Stars)

Nice to see that Twisted opened up another shop in the center of SE Sellwood. I've been to the flagship bakery on NE Broadway several times. Twisted knows how to male laminated pastries! Buttery layers of deliciousness! They make croissants and "chuffins" which are basically a mash-up of a croissant and a muffin. They are available in a number of flavor combinations and they really hit the spot! Buttery, flakey and totally yummy! I'm a huge fan of anything lemon and their lemon meringue croissant has just a hint of lemon filling and a piping of meringue on top. It adds sweetness but it doesn't make the croissant too sweet, if that makes sense. The cardamom orange croissant knot is also fabulous, I love any pastry that has cardamom, it gives it a "what is this flavor" moment and then turns into a smile. The raspberry, vanilla, rose chiffon is what dreams are made of! Oh, my! Get there early as they sell out quickly. Actually, if you have your heart set on anything specific, get there early. They make what they predict to sell that day as these pastries are all meant to be eaten fresh. So while there is a pretty large variety, there are finite amounts of each. For those savory lovers - which I am also a fan - they offer ham & cheese croissants, a spinach and mushroom cruffin and several other options. My favorite is the Monte Carlo, a croissant filled with turkey, ham and Gruyère cheese. The croissant is buttery and has a light maple glaze, the sweet complimenting the turkey & ham filling. It's topped with crumbled bacon so it hits all taste points! Savory, sweet & salty. Fabulous for breakfast or lunch. Check them out, it's a twist on the traditional croissant, in a good way!

Miki, who was a pastry chef for about 10 years said "Wow, this is a really talented pastry chef!" The pastries were as tasty as they were beautiful and inventive.I think I win. I had a black sesame brioche donut. As if the very name we're not enough... on biting in I found it was filled not only with black sesame paste, but whipped cream. Wow, did this work! So good!Miki had a fruit tart, which sounds unspectacular, but was anything other than that! The pastry itself was a gorgeous study in modern technique for bringing forward all the hundreds of layers in the millefeuille, such high level technique! Miki said they sure don't skimp on the real butter either! Altogether what would perhaps otherwise been simply tasty was a wonderful combination of flavors and textures. We WILL SO ABSOLUTELY be back!Pro Tip: Westmoreland, or simply the "Moreland" part of Sellwood-Moreland is often overlooked, but it is a wonderful slice of old Portland with many funky little shops centered around the intersection of Bybee and Milwaukee, especially Northward. We found a wonderful gem shop, a truly unique soaps and incense store, lots of pub&grub spots that will really take you back, most with breakfast all day, and even a great bike store! So, come not just for pastry (but, you MuST include it at some point!) but for a great little day of shopping and food!

Cute ambiance. Friendly staff. The service was sensational. Food is superb. At the time of visit there wasn't much of a variety, but that means I must visit again.

Trendy bakery serving up picturesque croissants! Arrive early before they sell out. The croissants are buttery and crispy and 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.
