The Best Portland Restaurants on Northeast Broadway | Eater Portland

"While Portland is chock-full of good-to-great bakeries, truly God-tier croissants — airy and soft on the inside, flaky and buttery sweet on the outside — are somewhat rare, making Twisted Croissant a worthwhile destination even those far from Northeast Broadway. In addition to traditional French classics like the butter croissant and pain au chocolat, don’t be afraid to get twisted with creative seasonal alternatives like a Boston cream doughnut croissant or a raspberry-rose cruffin. The coffee is quite good, sparing patrons a trip to another coffee shop in the neighborhood. Twisted Croissant has stepped up its hours and baking volume, but don’t be surprised to find more popular offerings sold out by the afternoon." - Nathan Williams
