Newly opened asian inspired bakery in Markham that focuses on croissants. Came here to grab a few pastries and was blown away by their flavours. Let's start off by stating that their service was great, staff was so friendly and helpful with me picking which pastries I wanted. Here are the ones that I got: mango pomelo, pistachio, yuzu green, roasted harmony, and chili crab luxe. All the pastries were amazing, with my favourite being mango pomelo and yuzu green. They were flakey, each one with a unique flavour profile, and not too sweet for the sweet ones. Savoury ones were also amazing. I can't wait to come back to try more pastries and their matcha drinks I've been seeing on their menu and socials! read more

Asian inspired bakery in Markham that focuses on croissants and specialty coffee. It's small and cozy with limited seating - staff is super friendly. We ordered the Hong Kong style latte and the Golden Kiss latte both were good and creamy with unique flavors. They do take their time to make the drinks but its not a long wait. To eat we got the mango pomelo croissant and the pistachio croissant - both were flaky, creamy and not too sweet. The Mango Pomelo was tropical & refreshing. The Pistachio was rich & nutty - and my favorite. read more

Cros Croissanterie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This newish croissant bakery in Markham, which opened last November, is a fantastic spot to grab coffee and baked goods after a Yorktech Costco run. Service was efficient (you can place a pickup order online ahead of time). Decor is minimal and seating is limited. The chili crab croissant stood out as unique and packed with flavor. I also enjoyed the mango pomelo croissant, which struck a great balance of sour, fruity, and creamy, surprising me since I usually avoid fruit-flavored croissants. The yuzu green was another highlight, with its excellent harmony of flavours. Best of all, nothing was overly sweet, which is a big plus in my book. That being said, the ube mochi tart missed the mark. Much less ube than expected from previous photos, no noticeable mochiness, and a soggy crust. As for the drinks, the matchamisu was rich, not too sweet, and absolutely delightful. But the golden kiss didn't quite work for me -- Deco on top tasted like stale communion wafers and edible petals just got in the way without adding much taste. Still, I can't wait to return and explore more of their creative menu! read more

I'm absolutely obsessed with the Pistachio Croissant filled with a generous amount of pistachio cream inside. The Yuzu Fizz was also refreshing and so beautiful under the sunlight I also really enjoyed the NEW Ham & Cheese Sandwich; it was debuting for the first time! All the flavours went so well together; I especially loved the dijon mayo. I really appreciate the croissant being not overly buttery like the ones I'm used to (感覺好膩). This sandwich was perfect; I could devour the whole thing, and I was craving for more The Chili Crab Luxe savoury, onigiri-looking croissant was super cute!! Unfortunately, the texture wasn't as flaky as I had imagined when I ate it on the spot. I guess you can ask the staff for reheat options if you want a crunchy/crispy outer layer. I would still want to come back again and try more items! The Asian flavours really hit the spot ;) ** There are small bar tables with high stools by the windows available for customers to dine-in; first come, first serve. read more

Croc Croissanterie is a hidden gem in Markham if you're into croissants with a modern, creative twist. It's one of those places where everything in the display case looks so good, you'll struggle to pick just one. I went with the Mango Pomelo croissant and the Pistachio croissant, and both were incredible. The Mango Pomelo was light, tropical, and refreshing--with a bright citrusy cream and juicy chunks of mango tucked inside a perfectly flaky shell. The Pistachio was rich and nutty with just the right amount of sweetness, plus a generous filling that didn't overpower the pastry itself. The shop has a clean, minimalist vibe and the service was friendly and fast. It's not cheap, but it's totally worth the treat. read more

Cros Croissanterie - Mango pomelo croissant and pistachio croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This croissanterie delivers when it comes to quality and creativity. The crab pastry was the clear standout. It was savory, rich, and layered with flavor. I've never had anything quite like it, and it made for a great last bite. The pistachio pastry and ube coffee were decent. They didn't steal the show, but they were still enjoyable and added variety to the menu. Seating is very limited, and I didn't notice a bathroom, so the space feels more like a grab-and-go setup. If you're coming here strictly for the pastries, you're in for a treat. Just don't expect to hang out for too long. read more

The custard in the mango croissante is really good! It's flaky but tender. The only thing i'd say, there'd a bitterness on the peach after taste. Similar to the mango croissante, the pain au chocolat is also flaky! I think i'll have it warm though. The matcha latte is also good. I would try the matcha desert drink when I come back. This is tucked away in the first markham place. The cafe was tidy and spotless. I appreciated the menu items since it's not offering too many choices . read more

Cozy, small but clean cafe right behind FMP. It's on the same side as Cafe de Hong Kong so it's not easy to miss. The only problem is limited parking spots because a lot of them are reserved. It's quite annoying... Service was quick but drinks took awhile because there was only one barista. Ordered the following items for take out because there were only maybe 5 seats by the windows? HK style latte - Basically a bland version of the Spanish latte... nothing too special Matchamisu - Strong flavour with a honey puff pastry. Almost $10 (after tax) for a drink is pretty expensive. Pistachio croissant - Super crispy and flaky. Favourite one! Ube tart - Pretty unqiue but a little too sweet I'll most likely come back for the pastries only since the specialty drinks are way too expensive... read more

Heard a new croissant store in the area and had to come try it out. I got the special matcha drink which was good, but I wish there wasn't so much ice and a bit more foamy/creamy. The croissants look delicious, I got 3, tiramisu, yuzu and I forget the other one. The tiramisu was really good! read more

Cozy pickup spot of croissant based bakery goods. Service was friendly and fast. Several of the items were being restocked when I got in. There is currently a soft opening promo 10% off with cash. Buy 6pc for no tax. After returning home, I warmed up everything in the microwave for about 15-25 seconds. That might not have been ideal for the ones with filling as they all leaked out like lava and made quite a mess lol. The plain croissant - 4 stars Was soft and still flakey after being warmed, but I didn't get the rich buttery flavour I was expecting. The Pistachio and Pomelo Mango - 4 stars These two had some fillings which were a surprise, they ended up being very watery as I heated them up without knowing they had filling. Not overly sweet but they also didn't have a strong savoury buttery taste to balance the sweetness. They might have been better not warmed up, will have to try them again. Cros Dog - 2 stars Was just an odd combination in my opinion. The fusion of takoyaki sauce, hotdog, and croissant base just didn't cut it for me. The dog also kept falling off the croissant base which wasn't crispy or soft. It was pushed down and not flakey. The Chili Crab - 4.5 stars This tasted pretty good. It was shaped like an onigiri, had a mild-spicy crab mixture inside, and it was filled quite generously. The croissant egg tart - 10 stars It had a superb crispy flakey crunch and a mellow melt in your mouth custard filling. This was my favourite. Vietnamese coffee latte - 4 stars This was my husband's, and while he said the flavour is good and strong, there was no indication on the menu or by the staff that this was going to be an iced latte. It's end of November now, and he was expecting a hot beverage. This is the only reason for the drop to 4 stars for this. The ube mochi tart was also sold out and I wasn't able to try it today. Will be back to try it another time. read more

Venue 5/5 Very nice and cosy pastry shop right behind first Markham place. Not a lot of sitting area only four stools as this is a grab and go store. Free parking in the plaza, although it can be limited as there are a few Hong Kong style cafés, sharing the same plaza. Service 5/5 Staff are very knowledgable of the menu, including suggesting pastries to my friend based on his preferences. We went a little bit before closing and the team they were able to accommodate us and place our orders too. Food 4/5 I got an iced Matcha latte myself, and it had a biscuit in it while my friend got the purple drink with some pastries. I had a bite and it tasted very rich and flaky. I will definitely go back for more. read more

Cute little coffee shop in the plaza across from FMP. Interior is very welcoming and bright. They have all their available croissants on display and when you place your order, they retrieve the order from the kitchen in the back. Staff are very friendly and not overwhelming. They patiently wait while you look around and at the menu not hurrying you to order. Croissants look and taste amazing. It's on the pricier side so great for a special treat! Their drinks are refreshing as well, the Ube coffee I got was fantastic. Had enough ube flavour without overpowering the coffee. read more

IG-worthy croissant pastries that are almost too pretty to eat! This small cafe is located right behind First Markham Place shopping centre. I recommend getting here before the lunch rush because parking can get very tricky. I tried the mango pomelo pastry, filled with a light coconut cream and topped with mango cream & mango sauce in a little pipette. Not overly sweet, bursting with mango flavour, all in a flaky pastry. I wish that this cafe had plates and cutlery though because it was pretty hard to eat at their little window counter. In terms of the coffee drinks, I would pass on these, as I felt they were pretty expensive and didn't stand out in terms of aesthetic or flavour. read more

This place has amazing pastries. I found this place because of yelps home page. While scrolling I happened onto this establishment and saw the reviews and more importantly the pictures. I decided to try it over the weekend. First off, the place was jumping, full of customers (that's always a good sign). But, the wait wasn't long. I chose 6 pastries because as the cashier said it would be no tax. It's like buying 5 pastries and getting one free. On to the review, I had a little bit of all the 6 pastries as I split them with my family WOWZA They were amazing and lived up onto the pics I saw. They were flaky and the cream inside was soft and delectable. They weren't too sweet and had just the right balance of tartness. Oh my, I will be back. My kids already asked when I will get them next. I'm thinking right away again tomorrow. A side note; it seems everybody was getting their drinks. I think that is a must try too. I can wait 5 stars all the way. read more

We went there on a Saturday morning around 11. It was busy when we were there but service was super fast and friendly. Tip: if you order 6 pastries- no tax. My favourite is the yuzu matcha and the chili crab luxe. Yuzu matcha- the torched yuzu on the top added a nice touch with the matcha custard. Chili crab lux - lots of crab and has a little spice for a little kick. Least favourite is the mango pomelo- wasn't a huge fan of the custard inside. It tasted oddly sour. Its definitely very creative but didn't execute well. The drink I ordered : ube drop. Ube was very strong along with the bitter expresso. Not overly sweet at all, a very balance drink. Will definitely come back! read more

I'm glad I stumbled upon this croissanterie shop! The selection seems small but everything on display looked cute. I would have picked the ube mochi tart had I read reviews first, but decided to go with the Yuzu Green and Roasted Harmony. The drinks also looked good but I just didn't feel like one. The Yuzu Green had yuzu cream which was quite tart but it was well balanced with the layer of sweet meringue. I preferred the Roasted Harmony which had distinct hojicha and chestnut flavours that were not too heavy despite the amount of cream. Will be back to try the other items and the drinks :) read more

It's hard to find pastry shops these days with affordable prices until you come to Cros. All 10 of their pastries are under $6 which is unheard of. Their Mango Pomelo croissant is not too sweet with the perfect flaky/soft layers. read more

I finally tried the ube mochi tart again just to make sure. It's one of those things that is so enticing - the thought of that earthy sweet ube taste with chewy mochi in a tart. Very innovative. I think I had really high expectations so it was a bit of a let down. The ube taste wasn't as powerful as I'd like and the mochi was only that little center piece so it was just average? Probably not going to get it again given the price tag but worth a try. The service was usual was very good and you still get that cozy feeling when you enter. Worth a try if you haven't! read more

It smells so good walking in here, we went during the middle of the day so it wasn't too busy here. They have pretty decent drink menu and some pastries, ones that I haven't seen anywhere else. This yuzu green wasn't too sweet and has the perfect custard to pair with it! read more

Saw this place pop up recently and had to give this place a try! It's a small cafe with a few seats for you to enjoy your coffee and pastries. I got the Ube Latte, Ube Mochi Tart, and Yuzu Green. I didn't taste the Ube in the latte but I did taste it in the Mochi Tart. The Yuzu Green had a meringue top with green tea and yuzu cream filling inside. Overall, the pastries were good, though I would probably try a different drink next time. read more

Ordered: - Hojicha Chestnut Croissant (9/10) - Yuzu Matcha Croissant (9.5/10) - Pistachio Raspberry Croissant (8.5/10) The yuzu matcha croissant is a must try! The slight bitterness of matcha cream paired with the citrus punch that the yuzu cream brings was a perfect combination. The hojicha flavour was strong! Unique croissant flavour I don't hear of often. All 3 croissants had a lot of cream filling. They did not cheap out on it! Each croissant had filling ooze out the back with every bite. There were a few people in line but it did not take more than 5 minutes. I was there on a Saturday at 1PM and only 1 item was sold out. However, know someone who went at 3PM and nothing was left so go early! Would I come back to this spot? Yes! read more

Came here at 3pm on a weekend and almost all the pastries were sold out. I ordered the matchamisu and ube mochi tart and it tasted good. Matchamisu was a bit sweet for my likings but it paired well with the puff pastry given with the drink. They had a few, I think 6, high chair seatings near the window as well for those who want to sit inside. Next time I would like to come back earlier to try their other pastries. read more

It was the third time I went to this cafe. The first time I went, I ordered Ube mochi tarts and other yummies. The mochi tart gave me a very nice surprise from the first time. I like the chewy bits within the tart that's why I ordered the tart again this time, however, this time the mochi bits were hard to the point that was hard to chew. The store is small, but clean; service wise, they were fast. read more
