It’s National Croissant Day and we’ve got the rundown on the best places to sample this Austrian and French delicacy! Seen as a staple in many bakeries, this buttery pastry is nothing short of delicious. Whether you want a sweet or savoury feeling, a croissant truly caters for all.
The top bakeries and pâtisseries with delectable croissants:
Patisserie 27
The variety of croissant flavours at this bakery ranges from chocolate and brie to cinnamon raisin and almonds. Located on Jane street, the spot also offers other French favourites like brioche and macarons.
TASSO
Tasso is home to some of the best chocolate croissants in the city! You definitely want to be there early as they’re all sold out within a few hours of opening. While their cinnamon rolls are to die for as well, you definitely don’t want to leave without a bite of the croissant.
Fleur du Jour
This high-end French pâtisserie located on St. Clair West offers a fine taste of France with their hand-made croissants. It’s not just the almond croissant that is a must-try but also their dessert items including cakes and pastries.
Nadège Patisserie
While Nadège may be known for their macarons and cakes, their croissants are quite the hit as well. The savoury mixes include a salmon cheese cream croissant and the sweet-tooths can indulge in the chocolate and almond croissants. You can also purchase them by the while, with a box of viennoiserie consisting of croissants and pains au chocolat.
The Tempered Room
Located at Queen Street West, The Tempered Room is a croissant haven in the 6ix. Their menu has everything from Ferrero Rocher croissants, chocolatine to their signature Croissant aux amandes (stuffed with housemade frangipane).
Bonjour Brioche
In addition to being to a popular spot for all-day breakfast and brunch, their croissants are one of a kind too. The uniqueness of the croissant is a result of a three-day process of dough-making and baking, which enhances the flavour.
Happy National Croissant Day, 6ixers! Make sure to check out these awesome spots and tag us to be featured!
