I got some pastries to go and I'm blown away by how cute and delicious everything was. They looked so good, no one wanted to eat them. They looked like a piece of art. The pastries were so big that 3 people were able to share one with their coffees. It was the best treats ever! read more

I've been having a hard time finding a bakery that makes laminated pastries since moving to the North Texas area from Denver (think Bakery Four and Black Box Bakery) and this bakery hits the spot. The typical bakeries in this area (Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen etc) are often chains, and focus on soft breads such as donuts and cakes, with the token boring croissant, and the Asian bakeries (also chains) offer a completely different style of breads, so to finally come across a place with innovative crisp laminated pastries is a treat! Note - they do not sell breads. I visited on a Friday morning around 8am and although there were only two people ahead of me in line, they were already out of almond croissants and I took the last sausage roll on display (but the bakers were probably baking more). There was a continuous flow of people in and out. The location is definitely set up to be a to-go place and NOT somewhere you come to sit and eat. No ambiance. No need to bring the friends and family, just send someone to buy a box of treats and enjoy at home. Being in a strip-mall complex, parking is easy. read more

Had this place bookmarked for a while and finally got to try it. Man, am I disappointed. I came in for the almond croissant, because I have yet to find one that I like as much as my fave one in Vegas. While the croissant itself here was good, the almond paste filling was lacking and I wish there were more almonds on the crust. The Nutella suisse pastry was also good but the Nutella filling was sparse as well. The garlic croissant had a sweet filling?! The only pastry I enjoyed was the mango yogurt cream, because I love mango anything. Walking in, the interior was not very welcoming. It had an industrial building feel to it. There's just a few seating on the side but there's room to add more. The place does not make you want to stay and enjoy your coffee and pastry and perhaps that's the intention. Pastries could be displayed in a more eye appealing way. The staff was just there to box up your order, like a donut shop. Not rude but not friendly either. This place is just not for me. read more

Tried this place 3x. Overall, not worth the price/drive. If I had to, I WOULD recommend the mango, red bean, egg tart, and regular croissant. Their pastries are flakey on the outside only, often dry inside, yet no butter taste; they probably use margarine or mediocre butter? NOT fan of their: Nutella (dry), Ganache (dry), Beef Sausage (super salty). As a pastry lover, I'd much recommend D'Caramel in Southlake if you're gonna spend $4-6 each. Theirs are flakey and buttery (like they use premium real butter). Agree that their interior and service are meh. I'm usually fine if their food is worth it but they aren't. read more

New favorite breakfast Pastry place in McKinney. It's a rather small store and they sell food in small batches, and are open until they run out (which is usually by noon)! Service is always good, and the place is always clean. Super flakey croissants, Croissant beef hot dog, and chocolate ganache.. too good! Can't wait to try the rest of the things soon! read more

I felt like a drug deal was going down as I said,"Get me two from the back." What was I referring to? Their almond croissants that had been completely sold out when I visited a day prior. I know it makes no sense that I was on my way to the gym, but let's just say this is cheat day worthy. The ambiance of this establishment would benefit from wide plank wood paneling flooring to give it that real Parisian vibe. Right now, it's just a concrete pick-up and go space. Seating is on the right side but sparse. The clerk is sweet and had sympathy when offering options or checking in the back for items I wanted to order. I love how they have a great balance of savory and sweet pastries. The portions are large. Almond croissant had a flaky crust and soft dense inside. There was some aftertaste from the scent in the bakery itself. It's not bad but I'm not sure if it's an extract they add to the pastry itself. This place works with limited quantities so when something is sold out....it's gone. I just think if they see a need for slightly more inventory they should bake more. I was here at 8:00am and the almond croissants weren't on the floor?! Clearly, patrons are dashing to get this daily. Thank you sweet employee who thought to fetch more from the back! read more

I get the hype. HUMONGOUS and beautiful pastries for less than $5 each? Insane. I came around 9:30AM, and most of their cult favorites had sold out. However, you can order online before 5PM and your order will be ready for pick up the following day. I got the creme brulee donut, chocolate croissant, and creamy croissant. Everything was delicious, but the creamy croissant is a must order. The cream is so soft and light, and it pairs so well with the beautifully made pastry. McKinney gem right here! read more

I have to update my review! Again, hands down this is my favorite spot! Today I saw they had egg tarts and I couldn't resist. And first bite...heaven! It was perfectly flaky with the phyllo dough crust, buttery, and the egg custard was not too sweet and had the creamiest texture. Angels made this. Just look at the video and you'll be counting layers for days. And it's huge! Not my fault if you drooled on your screen. read more

Freshly baked and scrumptious pastries baked by a well trained, certified Michelin chef. The staff (especially Emily) is friendly, accommodating, patient and helpful in aiding to make a decision on which delicious treats to pick from. I always look forward to Sundays after services to visit the boulangerie to see and taste what beautiful creations the chef has for du jour. read more

They are close all the time. Are they still in business? They have the best tasting croissants but man oh man, they do not follow their own business days and hours. That's a good way to drive repeat customers away. read more

Hands down this is officially my favorite place in all of DFW! My only regret is not visiting sooner because my life was not complete without these. I've had this place on my radar for quite some time. It's a had a Yelp bookmark on it for over a year but it's a 30-minute drive in a direction I rarely go. I'm hoping this stellar review gets to the owners so maybe they can open one of these...in my front yard???? Please!!! Cremcrittos specializes in all things buttery and flaky. They didn't know they were speaking my love language. I will pass up any cake, donut, cookie, dessert for a French pastry any day of the week. This place takes those pastries to a level you'd never dream. I tried the cream croissant, almond crossiant, kouign amann, strawberry cream, cookie craffle (I may have made that name up), and some kind of croissant filled with caramel. My favorites were the cream croissant followed by the strawberry and cream one, with the kouign amann, the cookie waffle thing coming in at a close third and fourth. The second visit (DO NOT JUDGE) less than a month later I got something new. It was a waffle croissant and the holes were filled with the most perfect gooey but so slightly chewy caramel. I wish I remembered the name. Dang was perfect... the best ever!! The caramel waffle is my official favorite. Thank you Cremcrittos for bringing me such joy. Don't ever stop making these good things and please, I beg you, please make sure that caramel waffle is available every single day!! read more

Cremcrittos - Be still my buttery flaky heart!!!!! - Bakeries Near Me - McKinney, Texas

This review is based on a to-go order. My first impression of them was extremely good! My family had ordered a variety, but I had looked forward to trying their Kouignn-amann. The last time I had one was from Village Baking Company, and since then I have fallen in love with this particular baked good. It tastes essentially like a caramelized, rich croissant with layers of pastry and butter and sugar between each layer. Oh yeah, it's as delicious as it sounds. Luckily this bakery had exceeded my expectations on my fixated treat. The size was more than generous, and I would argue that their pastry is just as sweet and buttery as I would have expected! Absolutely delicious, and I would order it again to try with other offerings. I'll definitely have to try this and other pastries with a drink while I'm at it next time I'm in the area! read more

I've had this book marked at least 2 years so... Goodness Gracious as my dearly departed grandmother used to say...wow! I just sampled the cream filled crescent and it's heavenly. The Yelp reviews on this are definitely legit. I got here late,10:30am and they were 1/2 out of their offings. Although wat was left looked amazing. This is a definite.... Go!! read more

tasty and crisp/flaky croissants and pastry. Get there early because this is not their bakery location, so once they are out, they're out. Very clean and efficient service. They have chairs and tables but this is not a restaurant, so ambience is that of a European bakery: you buy your stuff and head on home. read more

Crafted pastries. The croissant was super flaky and delicate. The chocolate ganache was perfect as it wasn't overly sweet. They sell out fast and the surrounding neighborhoods are lucky to have them conveniently nearby. The service was also excellent read more

A friend recommended that we try their cronuts but also gave me the heads up if I arrive "too late" in the morning that certain pastries will be sold out. As they bake only certain amount of each of their pastry. I recommend to come either very early on a weekend or make an online order the day before 5pm to schedule pick up for the next day. So far I have been lucky to get everything I want as long as I arrive before 9am on a weekday. But even then I feel like I am clearly up their shelved as I'm getting their last cinnamon sugar cronuts and crème brûlée My personal favorite is their Cronut and almond croissant. My kids love their crème brûlée. Their Cronut is layered beautifully. If you would cut your pastry into halves you can see all the layers. It's buttery on the inside but crispy (not flaky) on the outside. The perfect balance of sweetness and other flavors if you get their fruit tart or almond croissant. A perfect treat that everyone enjoys! Totally worth trying at least once!! They also have point reward system!! Don't forget to sign up!! read more

The last time I had a croissant this delicious was over 25 years ago in France. No doubt, every item in this bakery is made from scratch. The perfect croissant is made from yeasted dough, layered with butter, and has many folds that create that distinctive classic croissant. Light, airy, crisp, with a deeply caramelized buttery flavor. The owners certainly know what they are doing. If you've never tried one, you must start here. These croissants are a labor of love that's absolutely worth your time and money. I've tried nearly every single one, and I've narrowed my addiction down to two favorites: #1 Black Tea Cream Cruffin (looks like a cinnamon top hat -- delicious cream filling) $3.75 ea. and #2 Creamy Croissant $3.60 ea. Extra bonus: Join their rewards program!! Every time you make a purchase, you earn points. Those points go towards one free item of your choice. Local and family owned. It's my favorite type of business to support. read more

My friend and I first tried to come here on a Saturday around 11:30 am but discovered they were completely sold out and closed upon arrival :0 We then pulled up the next day at 7:30 haha. These pastries were amazing, I got the crème brulee donut, milk chocolate cronut, strawberry cheesecake Danish, pistachio yogurt danish, and the gianduja cruffin which is basically hazelnut and was also my favorite! Service was very prompt, you order at the counter and they box them up for you and you can take them to go or eat at the tables inside. It was very clean and bright inside. I'm very interested in trying out the rest of their pastries and will definitely be back in the future! read more

Not exaggerating when I say this pastry shop is a gift to us suburbanites. Where else can you find this level of execution in a "simple" pastry? Arrived 30 minutes before close on a Thursday. The person working the counter (owner?) was very gracious in helping me select pastries. She even threw in a free cinnamon bun to try out. The chocolate cronut was next level. Chocolate ganache, cocoa powder, and endless flakiness In searching around Plano/Allen/McKinney, Cremcrittos seems to be the best, if not the only, pastry shop worth visiting. read more

Amazing delicious pastry!! Customer Service is excellent and they always have new pastries on the menu.

The best pastries in McKinney and area. They have a wide variety of unique pastries that you know take talent and training to make.

Really good! Employees are very friendly. They do sell out fast so make sure to calm earlier

This pastry shop is crème de la crème! 10/10. I just wish they had higher production volume that i didn't have to rush to get there! They run out quickly! A sign that everything is super fresh! It's a must try pastry shop and surprisingly in McKinney, TX. read more

I had my first Kouign Amann in a California bakery and it had passion fruit. Ever since I've gone back to Texas, I've been craving it. When I came to this place during the weekend, it wasn't busy at all. Few people come and go. No one really stayed to eat their pastries. No one seemed to get the Kouign Amann either. A lot however, would get croissants. Shared some pastries I picked up with some friends and they agreed that the Kouign Amann was the best out of all. Wished the pastries were serve warmed and wished the almond croissant were flaky have that almond extract flavor in the paste. read more

If you want to find the quintessential croissant, you need to get it from here! This is the only place in DFW that made my husband say the croissant reminded him of France. He knows as he worked there for a bit. I pretty much had given up finding airy flaky crunchy flavorful croissants in Texas until I stepped into Cremcrittos. You can smell the butter in the air the minute you walk in. You can't go wrong with anything here, literally. Just grab what you can. A few ladies ahead of me bought out the entire almond croissant section. Even though I was there before 9am. No worries, I'll be back to taste that croissant next time! I however did snag a raspberry croissant, chocolate croissant, ham and cheese croissant and a cronut. Some made it home, others left crumbs in my car on the way... lol. read more
