Ever had a gourmet croissant? Well, if you haven't, you can now as Flaky Pastry Croissant Co brings their croissanterie to Al Wasl. And if you have had a gourmet croissant, then you still need to check this place out. With the slogan 'It's music to your mouth', each croissant is carefully baked, flavoured and decorated to bring the party to your tastebuds.
Labelled a croissanterie, it is not surprising that the cafe specialises in the classic French croissant - and it's the very first croissanterie in the region. Also a viennoiserie, you'll also find a selection of flaky pastries, combining chocolate, custard, berries and marshmallow across a range of products.
Open from 8am to 8pm, this up-market cafe can give you a taste of the sweet life all day long. Pop in for a Parisian-style breakfast of coffee and a croissant; grab a friend for a brunch of pain au chocolats; or have an afternoon treat of delectable cheesecake-style tarts. Although it is a bakery in essence, you won't find baked breads here however you will find some savoury treats if you don't have a particularly sweet tooth. This makes it the perfect spot for lunch or a light dinner too - you can grab a savoury and sweet pastry all made out of their infamous croissant dough.
The croissant dough is carefully laminated and proofed to create the perfect layers; once the butter is evenly spread throughout the dough, the magic happens in the oven, producing an evenly baked, flaky, airy croissant. You can expect to find the likes of chocolate croissants, glazed cinnamon bun rolls and mixed berry baked cheesecakes. The wild brioche roll filled with a yuzu ganache and topped with a smooth, stiff Italian meringue is sure to get you coming back for more.
