the 7 butteriest croissants
Since the age of the internet, silly, superfluous "holidays" seem to have taken over. We rarely see a day go by where there isn't someone on Instagram wishing us all a happy "International Redhead's Day" or unfurling a ticker tape parade in honour of "Talk Like Shakespeare Day". And while we tend to let most of them pass by, today's special day simply could not be ignored: Croissant Day.
So, to celebrate this most glorious of days, this flaky, ethereal holiday, we're rounding up our favourite croissants across the globe. Très bon!
Mamiche
Plump with butter, the croissants from this female-owned bakery are a true tour de force.
Librae Bakery
Toffee-coloured and butter-scented: Librae Bakery's croissants had us hook, line and sinker.
Bakehouse
Once you've dusted the crumbs of a Bakehouse croissant from your jacket, you'll be dreaming of trips to Hong Kong on the reg.
Broodbakkerij Ex
Impossible to create a list of our most beloved bites without throwing one from our hometown into the mix; Broodbakkerij Ex's sourdough croissant is really somethin' else.
Think
Precision reigns supreme in Japan - even in the pastries. French-leaning Think churns out croissants most Parisians could only dream of.
Coco Safar
When Food & Wine heralds your croissant as the world's most perfect, you're clearly doing something right!
Baker Bleu
With a golden, shatteringly crisp crust and a tender honeycomb interior, Baker Bleu's croissants are undeniably good.
Hayley Daen
South Carolina bred, UK educated and Netherlands enthused, Hayley has an insatiable hunger for travel and, of course, all things delicious. A traveller as seasoned as her cast iron skillet, Hayley always knows the best spots for a tasty bite or a cheeky glass. When she's not digging up killer hole-in-the-wall falafel spots in Beirut or trying (sometimes vainly!) to find inspiring exhibitions across the globe, she's busy writing & reading.
