Twisted Croissant

Twisted Croissant is a bakery with two locations in Portland, Oregon. Owner Kurt Goddard began selling pastries at farmers' markets in the Portland metropolitan area before opening the first brick and mortar bakery in northeast Portland's Irvington neighborhood in 2019. A second bakery opened in southeast Portland's Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood.

Twisted Croissant is a bakery with two locations in Portland's Irvington and Sellwood-Moreland neighborhoods. The bakery's products are also available at various weekend farmers' markets.

The business serves croissants with fillings such as ganache, mascarpone-lemon glaze, and seasonal fruit. The Loaded Corn Bread Croissant is made with corn flour and is filled with corn, green chiles, pancetta, green onion, and cheddar cheese. Willamette Week described the croissant as "basically patisserie as empanada". The Monte Carlo has ham, turkey, and Gruyère cheese, and is topped with crumbled bacon and maple syrup.

The menu has also included caramel apple cruff puffs, and "croissant-doughnut and croissant-muffin hybrids filled with fun flavors", according to Michael Russell of The Oregonian. The Raspberry Rose Cruffin, considered Twisted Croissant's "signature", has vanilla custard, raspberry jam, and a rosewater glaze.

Some of the shop's pastries take as long as three days to make.

Owner and head chef Kurt Goddard started selling pastries at farmers' markets in Beaverton, Hillsboro, and Portland (including the Hillsdale and Montavilla neighborhoods) in 2017.

In 2018, Goddard announced plans to open a brick and mortar bakery in northeast Portland's Irvington neighborhood. The 1,800-square-foot space, which opened on September 6, 2019, is used primarily for production and offers limited seating within the 600 square feet dedicated to retail operations.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the business continued to operate via take-out and Uber Eats, except on Mondays. The business was burglarized in 2020. By 2022, a second location had opened in southeast Portland's Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood.
