Apr 26 2022, 3:00 pm

There’s one pastry that you can never go wrong with, and that’s the croissant – fluffy, buttery, crunchy and all that good stuff in each bite.

Lucky for us, there are a handful of bakeries in Toronto that are sure to serve you that experience with their croissant creations.

New and established bakeries never lack in the city, but finding which one to go to can be a struggle.

Here are six Toronto bakeries that bake exceptional croissants:

If you have to try one thing on the Bonjour Brioche menu, that’s their signature croissants. The French Bakery has been serving the Toronto community for about 25 years, so they certainly know a thing or two about creating delicate pastries.

Back in 2021, these cube croissants were all the rage, thanks to social media. They were so popular that the Little Pebbles team had to limit purchases to one per person. The croissants are all made using European-style butter. If you are wondering how to eat it, go ahead and take a bite or cut it into slices.

Hazukido brought its Japanese croissants to Toronto back in 2020, and since then, they’ve expanded across the city with a bunch of locations; that should speak for itself. Their croissants are perfectly fluffed and come in both sweet and savoury options. Chocolate fan? Try their Hazelnut Chocolate, a Honeycomb croissant covered with premium chocolate and hazelnut.
