Update (Oct 2021): Back in Portland and got a classic croissant at my favorite bakery. The store presentation is different from the time when I lived in Portland but the croissant is still delicious, although not as amazing as I remembered... Original (Feb 2021): Absolutely one of the best pastry shops in Portland. The taste, the texture, the presentation, are all top notch. You gotta try their rose pistachio croissant, it's beyond the world delicious with flaky croissant layers and intriguingly flavorful sweet fillings. It becomes my routine to try something new every time I come here, twice baked chocolate croissant, creme filled chocolate brioche, savory croissants, blueberry muffin, cinnamon roll, everything I had was good and often great. One thing to keep in mind, they don't always have everything available everyday, even the basic croissants, but they seem to like trying new things, so…surprise yourself.

the croissant tasted really differently the inside is softer and more buttery i even feel like brioche chocolate croissant was flaky outside and a bit of toasty smell which i loved really much the staff recommended me the rose croissant and it’s definitely delicious covered by earl grey icing the bread added a hit of rose flavor which is really impressing

I woke up early to come here on Saturday morning when they opened. My friend and I were disappointed by the negative energy from the staff. They seemed to greet everyone else (maybe regulars?) but when it came out turn to order is was awkward because both people working didn’t say anything to us. When we got home we were even more disappointed that they forgot 3 items we ordered. I know many other french bakeries in Portland that offer kind service and delicious pastries, this didn’t make the cut.

Tucked away in the Pearl district I found this bakery because I asked a former Parisian what her choice was best bakery was in the city. Her recommendation did not disappoint. The place is tiny but their selection of croissants and other pastries is large and the ones we had were really delicious. I especially recommend the matcha croissant because you don't really find that kind of croissant elsewhere and it was pretty good.
