Finally got around to ordering pastries from Kaya Bakery at a recent pop-up in Sunnyvale. I set up a reminder for myself when the pop up went live and ordered the omakase box to try. Pick up was super smooth and I got a reminder email the day before and text day of. Do be aware that the croissants should be heated up (air fryer is preferred) while the brownie and basque cheesecake can be eaten right away so it's not a great box to enjoy at the scene. Instructions on how to best enjoy each item is sent via email and I actually enjoyed eating the pastries over the course of a couple of days knowing the proper storing methods. Everything was delicious though! I loved the special kaya cream nian gao filled croissant for Lunar New Year. The contrast between the chewy nian gao, flaky pastry and kaya cream was amazing. I also loved the bitter viet coffee brownie and the super rich, triple cream basque cheesecake slice. I make basque cheesecake myself and I have to say this one was way better! All the flavors were great and felt fresh and natural vs. some pastries which can be too sweet or artificially flavored. Definitely would recommend if you get the chance to pick up in the bay! read more

Kaya Bakery - Pop-Up Restaurants Near Me

Another unfamiliar business popped on my radar. In one recent weekly promotional email from Neon, this bakery happened to offer some of their goods on a particular Friday. My friend and I both ordered boxes from them along with some other foods from other makers. I opted for the signature pastry set and was happily surprised when I opened my box to find this (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=zI-RhYfzK9HR34m9OL86xA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). Here's what was in the box along with the baker's descriptions: 1. Oolong and Bailey's Irish Cream croissant (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=4EuzcZNQIIVLItpGqCfB2Q&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - Four seasons tea cream, Irish Cream, tasty puffed rice. Seeing how this came, I ate this the same day that it arrived. I was impressed with the presentation and the flavors matched that. In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, this special fused the distinct oolong flavor with the sweet boozy flavor of the Bailey's to make a rich tea flavored pastry. 2. Raspberry lychee rose croissant (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Pv4en7ZLDdtfrzWumdsuIw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - Subtle lychee cream, floral and tart raspberry rose jam. My favorite item in the box, I reheated this in the toaster oven. The fruit flavors shined with the contrast of the tartness from the raspberry and the sweetness from the lychee. 3. Cardamom bun (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=nlmEFbIbqkHIj8hC4UsCNw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - Fragrant cardamom, chewy brioche. As described, the chewiness of this stood out. It was not overly sweet and the herbiness of the cardamom stands out. 4. Black sesame madeleine (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=zSxPDuDgKhsrLNBAWgKMWg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - Nutty black sesame, cakey inside. The black sesame flavor is a bit muted. I also reheated this in the oven and enjoyed the crunchiness of the outer layer in contrast to the cakeiness of the insides. 5. Vietnamese coffee blackout brownie (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=pGz9uVrXB1SnrfQDPs9vbQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - Intense black cocoa brownie, Viet coffee cream, sweet condensed milk. This had the most bold flavors of all the items yet was not overly sweet. The chocolate and coffee balanced each other out but I didn't feel the condensed milk added anything. Thankfully, I ate these pastries over the course of a week so my sugar levels didn't skyrocket. I look forward to trying more of their pastries if they appear again on Neon. Otherwise, I'll keep this in mind if they do a pop up. read more

Came across their pop up in front of Social Eatery on weekend. What caught my attention was their unusual flavors and fillings that I don't find elsewhere. They had nian gao, rose, and savory croissant was the one that caught my attention, Kong. It's 13 spices, crystal noodles, sichuan peppercorns, and chives. I bought three of them and safe to say I did not regret it. Nian gao was a little hard at the end, but it was my fault for waiting too long and did not heat them properly. They gave me heating instructions that are pretty useful. read more

I found about them on social media and was attracted by their flavors and hip vibe. The reality was disappointing. 1) they were to be in Mountain View between 1-3 pm. Seeing from reviewers that there were often lines, and juggling a lunch with my brother and wife who were traveling down themselves, I showed up 10 minutes early. I had to leave by 110 pm for my lunch but there was no sign of Kaya. So in order to pick up the $80 of foods which I had preordered, I had to leave my lunch early before they closed at 3 pm. When I arrived there was a long line with no separate line for pre orders. So people who were just walking off the street were chatting for a long time with the one helper explaining the goods while people who had preordered and paid had to wait ten minutes for a ten second transaction. When I finally reached the front of the line, the owner explained they had been running late. No offer of throwing in a free pastry or anything to compensate for turning a fun event into a stressful situation. Very unprofessional: you have to order their food within minutes of when they send an email alerting people of the popup, or risk being sold out; you pay up front online; you have a supposed 2 hour window which they don't actually honor like any business appointment should be; they don't notify you by text or email they are running late like any friend or business associate would; they don't have a separate pickup line for preorders and make you wait with dozens of other passersby; and they don't try to make it up to you! I felt like my $80 was a hostage which I would lose if I didn't show up in time, but there was no compunction on their side for not being timely themselves since they already had my money. 2) the only way to buy their pastry online is to order their "omakase". Unfortunately this included some pastries whose flavors I didn't want. There was no way to order just the flavor you want, unless you didn't preorder and just showed up praying your flavor hadn't been sold out yet. 3) the cost is much higher than brick and mortar bakeries of similar quality. Eg Fancy Flavors and Le Croissanterie in the South Bay. I hope they adjust their high prices, add an ability to pre order individual pastries rather than be stuck with the omakase box, add a preorder-only pickup line, and most important of all: change their contingent plans to notify customers in real time by text or email if they are running late. Not planning to use them again for all these reasons. read more

Kaya's baked goods have unique flavors executed skillfully. The owners are really nice and happy to talk about the ever-changing menu. The brownie is a standout item, full of rich flavor and not too sweet! read more

Kaya Bakery - Basque cheesecake, Viet coffee brownie, tiramisu croissant bun, and croissant - Pop-Up Restaurants Near Me

We happened upon this place as we were lounging at grapeholic. There was a huge and lengthy line waiting to pickup and we decided to queue up once the line went away. They had sold out of everything aside from the matcha scone so we purchased that one. We were recommended to heat it up for 30 seconds in the microwave. We tried it later that day and it was decent. It was quite dense with matcha powder and the cream on top was a nice balance. Not bad. I would like to try their other desserts to better formulate an opinion. read more

During the pandemic, to relieve the boredom and stress, I decided I had to try every. single. notable. croissant in the Bay Area. After months of eating a ton of butter and flakey layers from Ariscault, B. Patisserie, Alexander Patisserie, Backhaus, Midwife & Baker, Breadbelly, Patisserie Rotha, Manresa Bread, and CA Bakehouse. (Man are we lucky in the Bay Area with so many talented bakers!) I discovered that my FAVORITE flavored one is none other than Kaya Bakery's Lychee Rose Raspberry Croissant. I ate this a day after buying it after following baking directions and was astounded at that all the flavors came through + crispy layers and good lamination. Most of the croissants with creme patisserie were nowhere near as good when it came to flakey layers that held up (with the exception of B. Patisserie). The flavors knocked my socks off, I mean the Raspberry Pistachio from Backhaus is also wonderful, but Lychee?? And Rose?? in a crisp pastry?? I found many of the places with creme patisserie to be decent in description but sort of meh on taste, so I was shocked at how wonderful the flavors were. I didn't have any issues with inconsistency in my pastries. Everything had generous filling and was absolutely consistent and quite perfect. Do yourself a favor and pre-order a box on their website, while making yourself feel great supporting a local small businesses! They do tend to sell out quickly, so its nice to follow them on instagram or sign up for their newsletter. Also their strawberry, jasmine jam is mindblowingly good. I love jam ( esp from Inna Jam, Harrods, Fortnum & Mason, Mariage Frere). And this was just about the best thing I've had. Both the strawberry and jasmine come through in perfect harmony and it isn't too sweet. I've been eating it on my pancakes with honey and it takes the pancakes to another level :). read more

Really great pop-up croissant bakery that offers unique and creative flavors! You can place an order online and pick-up at the specified locations which makes the process relatively easy and painless. I also appreciate that they rotate the pick-up locations between weeks all across the bay area so that I wouldn't have to travel super far just to pickup the orders. The only potential drawback is you have to order the pastry set which comes with 4 croissants at a time which can also be a lot pending how many people you have in your household. For the most parts the flavors are all pretty good, although sometimes it can be hit or miss pending the flavors. For most sets it comes with their raspberry lychee rose flavor with 3 other seasonal or rotating flavors. I personally enjoy all the fruity flavors but the ones with floral flavors tend to be a miss for me since I'm not super into floral favors. In the past I've enjoyed their flavors such as pina colada, matcha, black sesame, and boba flavors. However, in this most recent pastry set, they had a lavender coconut flavor (two flavors that I'm personally not a fan of) and that was one that I just simply couldn't eat. I would say definitely check the weekly flavors and make sure they are flavors you would like as the whole set is around $30 and if you might not like certain flavors then it may not be worth it. However, overall I really enjoy their croissant's texture and would still recommend this bakery! read more

Kaya Bakery - Raspberry lychee rose, banana viet coffee, coconut lavender, strawberry guava - Pop-Up Restaurants Near Me

OVERALL: This bakery gets a lot of hype but it's not worth the expensive price. Their croissants are cute and have unique flavors, but didn't meet expectation. FOOD: I got their box that included a thai tea croissant, raspberry lychee rose croissant, matcha croissant, 2 plain croissants and a strawberry jasmine spread. The spread was amazing. I would buy just that. The two plain croissants were nothing special. They three speciality croissants were honestly a let down. They hardly had any filling in them. The matcha was far too earthy and had that dirt taste (I think they just added way too much into the cream). The raspberry lychee rose was okay but the floral taste was stronger than anything else. SPACE: They are a pop up and operate out of various locations around the bay. In San Mateo they come to Uji Time. SERVICE: I tried to get croissants multiple times. The first time I was going to get some individuals, as they said you could do on social media. I went to Uji Time at the time they said they would be there and they were 30 minutes late. Then they didn't even have everything ready until 30 minutes later. Then they actually didn't have any individual ones for sale. Such a let down. When I finally got these, I preordered because I felt like that was more of a guarantee. The person in front of me wanted to get individuals, again as they said you could on social media, and the person told them they don't do that and have to preorder. She was really upset. People travel into town for these, so it's important they provide accurate information. Since I preordered, I walked up, gave my name, and got my box, so that was easy. Aside from Kaya not communicating well, the people at Uji Time have no clue what's going on with the pop-ups. They need far more information than what they are given. Can you actually get individuals? How do you preorder? Can you just buy a box? Why did they say one thing on social media but in person it's different? They are reflecting Kaya and it's not giving them a good look. I get that Kaya is a small business and has to figure out the glitches. It would be ideal if they had the preorder but also sold a limited number of boxes and individuals. People really want to try them and if they can't get what they expected, they possibly won't return to try again. read more

Kaya Bakery - Thai Tea croissant (back) rose, lychee, raspberry croissant (middle), matcha croissant (front) - Pop-Up Restaurants Near Me

Some of these reviews are ridiculous. Giving a one star review because you thought you'd find a super specific product and then realizing they don't have it? Especially on a new business during covid? Ridiculous. I'm leaving an actual review of my experience with them and their pastries. I love Kaya Bakery and their depastries. Like the other reviews mention, you need to preorder on their website (I've recommend signing up for the waitlist so you don't miss out). i've had Kaya three or four times during SIP and loved all the pastries each and every time. I love the creative twist they put into each of their boxes. It's always something I look forward to picking up. I totally recommend checking them out (and please be kind to new businesses / businesses in general during covid... they're having a hard enough time already). read more

Amazing pastries! Tried the pop up in Mountain View and got one of everything. The croissants had great flavors and very flakey but I would also recommend trying the brownie too! Hope they come back to Mountain View again. Everyone was also super nice and clearly passionate about what they do. They made my Saturday. Pro tip- order online ahead of time. The long line is for pre orders read more

Had a chance to pre-order the summertime set which included: pandan pina colada croissant, matcha croissant, Vietnamese coffee black sesame croissant, matcha croissant , and lychee rose croissant, and a jar of strawberry jasmine jam. The total with tax is $30 so it's not cheap, definitely something to treat yourself to. Join their waiting list and pre-order as soon as it's available, when the announcement came on Monday morning I purchased around 2pm. I believe by 7 pm it was all sold out. The pick up was at Japantown in San Francisco and very easy. We only had the matcha one and the black sesame one so far but I'm really impressed with the quality of the croissants! Perfect air pockets and not the mention they are huge! It's recommended you toast the pastries according to instructions, I would say the top got nice and crispy but the filling was a little more watery than I liked. Overall flavors were awesome, looking forward to new flavor sets in the future. read more

Kaya Bakery - The takeout box of four huge croissants and strawberry jam. - Pop-Up Restaurants Near Me

Amazing pop up bakery that really delivers on unique flavours via delightful croissants. Make sure to subscribe to their newsletter so you don't miss their box release sales! Croissants are amazing - the pastry is flaky but not excessively buttery (to account for the filling) & the provided storage and reheating directions are super helpful to preserve the quality of the pastry. Vietcoffee banana - personally I don't love banana flavours but I appreciated the balance with neither being overpowering nor artificial. Coconut lavender - again, perfect balance between coconut and lavender Raspberry Rose - I could've done with more of the tart jam filling but even for the non-floral lovers, this one was reasonably balanced. Pineapple jasmine jam is delicious on pastries or toast & not too acidic. Pickup in Japantown was convenient but we had to wait in line with patrons of the store they popped up at (it wasn't super clear if there was supposed to be another line) read more

I'm obsessed with pop-up bakery boxes these days and Kaya's is no exception. Their croissants are yummy injected with exotic and untraditional Asian flavors (think ube & lavender, Vietnamese coffee & black sesame, pandan pina colada, raspberry lychee, etc.) in a super inflated, puffy flaky pastry. They are not cheap--croissants are about $7 each (a set typically includes 4 croissants, plus a mini jar of some delectable spread. Mine was jasmine strawberry). Love the melding of French and Asian flavors and techniques to create an entirely new kind of croissant. read more

Kaya Bakery offers cream-filled croissant pastry sets (with some spread options) and they pop up at various locations around the bay for a set pick-up window. Sign up for their newsletter to know where they'll be and what is being offered in each package. They don't support in-person orders, substitutions or single pastry orders, so please keep that in mind. Now onto the pastry set itself! The set I got contained 5 croissants - boba milk tea, ube lavender, raspberry lychee rose, pumpkin spice, mango passion fruit - and a small jar of jasmine pineapple spread. The boba croissant was packaged separately by nature of there being boba (and you should consume it within 2 hours or receiving it), which was thoughtful. The rest came in a nice big pastry box wrapped in a ribbon and containing a small direction card on heating/toasting the pastries. For taste: full disclosure - I am not a big croissant person, but Kaya's croissants were pretty good (they were also pretty large!). The amount of filling per croissant varied a little, but it was a decent amount. The raspberry lychee rose one had the raspberry flavoring in a little pipette that you squeeze into the croissant. Now ranking the flavors for me personally: 1) boba croissant, 2) ube lavender, 3) pumpkin spice and mango passionfruit tied, 4) raspberry lychee rose. Of course all the flavors were great - it was almost immediately obvious to me once I tasted them what the flavor was. The milk tea cream & ube lavender were the strongest for me and that's what I prefer. Pumpkin spice was great, but a seasonal one that I probably wouldn't want all the time. Mango passionfruit was a great tart flavor, but also not one I would necessarily go out of my way for. The raspberry lychee rose one was ranked last on my list, but it was by no means a bad flavor. I expected a slightly stronger rose flavor and couldn't really taste the lychee, but the raspberry was a nice complement to this flavor. The jasmine pineapple spread was delicious - tart from the pineapple flavor, but the tea flavor still came through. Their direction card said it can be used for toast, yogurt, drinks and ice cream, but the options are endless. Even eating it by the spoonful was delicious ;) Pick-up was super seamless. Staff member was gloved and masked up, and just checked my confirmation email before handing me the pastry set. For me, the biggest drawback for Kaya Bakery is their price - with tax and tip (without upgrade or add-on for the spread/butter options) it was over $40, and the add-ons were not cheap either. All in all, I think they are a cute bakery with an innovative approach to the traditional croissant and I think they are definitely worth a try. If they sold some of their filling options as standalones, I would probably buy those, but the croissant pastry sets will likely just be an occasional splurge. read more

Amazing croissants with many different flavors. I like the set package that they have and try to get them a monthly basis, then share with my friends who live all around the bay area (San Francisco, San Mateo, Berkeley). It's nice that they have popups close by. Excited when they will have it in SF. It's nice that they also partner up with Coffee or Boba shops so I can grab some lattes on the side. Their unique flavors I've tried include sesame, matcha, mocha * chocolate, something strawberry. They have other unique ones as well... Best aesthetics and flavor! read more

Kaya Bakery - Pop-Up Restaurants Near Me

*covid-19 review* stumbled across this little gem on instagram and knew i had to try it! kaya bakery isn't in one set location, but does pop-ups throughout the bay area every week with preordered sets - i followed them on ig to see when they would be nearby and then ordered on their website. what i got in my set package: one matcha croissant, one thai tea croissant, one raspberry lychee rose croissant, two butter croissants, one small jar of strawberry jasmine spread what attracted me to kaya was the uniqueness of the croissant flavors, and they def didn't disappoint! my favorite was definitely the raspberry lychee rose filling - it was surprisingly light yet i could taste all three flavors quite clearly. i do wish the strawberry jasmine spread had a stronger jasmine tea flavor but it still paired nicely with the butter croissants! the set is definitely a bit pricey but it's great for celebrating a special occasion with a small group of people or an afternoon tea session once in a while! would def recommend trying it at least once for the flavors read more

Kaya Bakery - what i got in my preordered set! (one butter croissant not pictured) - Pop-Up Restaurants Near Me

this place is sooo good and worth tracking down! such unique flavors and flaky, buttery, croissants. ordered a box around thanksgiving and got pandan piña colada (amazing flavors and cute decorations), lychee rose (came with a pipette of rose syrup, super strong rose flavor which i liked), ube lavender (strong lavender flavor with pods on top, also delicious), and pumpkin spice (only okay imo, but i'm not usually a pumpkin spice person). hope they find a permanent location near me soon! only note is that the croissants are definitely pricy (~$7.25 each), but i'm assuming that's because they're at such a small scale now. read more

The croissants are fluffy and tasty. There's good volume and the layers are nicely separated. People say they like the passionfruit ones, but I personally like the tea-based ones (matcha, earl grey). To be honest, I was never a huge fan of croissants and never sought out to buy croissants, but Kaya bakery as changed my mind. Kaya bakery is new and upcoming and I've bought a few care packages over time (3 times). Admittedly, the initial batch was a little inconsistent - both size and filling had variance. But the recent two care packages have seen very impressive improvement. If I was averaging out the rating across all packages, I'd give Kaya closer to a 4. However, my recent experiences have been great, so I'm more inclined to give a 5. read more

I just stumbled upon the yelp page and found that they were gonna do pop up in Sunnyvale according to website so decided to visit. Waiting in line for 30minutes during COVID times to find that they only take preorders and there were none available to purchase in person. I understand that small local business need to do business efficiently so make profit, however communication needs to be clear. Please state clearly on website or pop up store that y'all only take preorders so we don't waste anyone's time. A lot of pop up business take in person orders. Was really looking forward to try your products, such a disappointment... read more

I've been ordering the care packages for a few weeks and they're amazing! My favourite so far is the passion fruit croissant, the crunchy and sweet croissant paired with he tart passion fruit filling is seriously mouth watering. The flavours keep rotating but there's something in the box for everyone! read more

I am baffled at the people giving 1-stars just to complain about not being able to buy singles when on Kaya's Instagram, they literally said these would be in care packages. Package, package, package. Their website only states that these would be in sets. Also, you can ask if you can buy singles instead of hurting a small business because of your own failure to do so like...*insert question mark meme* Anyway, the first time I visited the coffee shop where Kaya was holding a pop-up at, it was super packed and the owners were scrambling to get everybody's orders together. We heard by word of mouth that it was going to be sold in sets with flavors from Earl Grey to Thai Tea so we preordered ours right away. The cafe was really cozy, we chatted for a bit, and parted ways. The croissants and goodies were really beautiful, but there was very little filling in the middle of the croissant so it was mostly just nice flaky bread. They asked for feedback and we told them as much. The next box collection they did, they tried delivering it themselves but it was too tiring to drive across cities and the croissants were losing their texture (understandably). Kaya also listened to our previous feedback and filled each croissant to the brim. I was super happy about it, because they actually listened! Much like any dessert pastry filled with cream, there's no graceful way to eat these so have a napkin (or five) ready. The taste of the cream is very light and doesn't overwhelm the senses like a lot of bakeries do. It's also not too light to the point where I felt like they were skimping on ingredients. The flavor was just right. I'm excited to see what else they do in the future and wish them well in their endeavors. They deserve nothing but praise! read more

I really enjoy the selection of pastries with each box set they create. Everything from the croissants to the spreads are mouthwatering and amazing! The care packages usually consists of desserts that explore regional tastes like Thai Tea or Strawberry jam. The pastries are perfectly moist, soft, and not overly sweet to the point where you'll feel sick after eating one croissant. Definitely give Kaya Bakery a try, especially now when giving money to local small businesses is so important. read more

This review is a little late but absolutely loved the Halloween spread they released a few weeks ago! I got the deluxe set with the Raspberry Lychee Rose, Matcha Oreo, Brown Sugar Boba, Black Sesame Vietnamese Coffee, and Pumpkin Spice croissants and split it with my sister. As recommended, I froze my croissants and toasted them as I ate my way through them, and each one was better than the last. The fillings were a lot lighter than I expected them to be and I had to stop myself from eating more than one at a time. I'm not a fan of super sweet desserts, but a big fan of floral flavors and the Raspberry Lychee Rose croissant definitely hit both of those marks! Possibly my favorite part of the set was the jar of Pineapple Jasmine spread; there was the perfect balance of fruity and floral and I put it on /everything/. I put a spoonful in my cup before I made my daily morning latte and I think I'm a changed person now read more

Tried a care package ~2 months ago - maybe it's improved since, but thought the quality was really inconsistent. Had zero filling in 5 out of the 6 croissants and only a tiny ribbon of filling in the last... nothing like what the descriptions / pictures seemed to indicate. Croissants themselves were good, but if I wanted plain croissants I could have gotten them a lot cheaper. Other items (a tiramisu and another pastry) were ok so maybe I was just unlucky. read more

My first time visiting Kaya Bakery was at their Red Giant Coffee popup. Since then I've purchased their Care Package several times. All of their flavors are amazing, especially the Passion Fruit, Matcha, and Mocha croissants. The croissant itself is crunchy and airy while the filling is not too sweet, but has enough flavor. They sell out pretty quickly so you have to keep a close eye on them read more

Was craving kaya toast and waited in line only to find out that not only were they not accepting walk-ins, but none of their products have kaya in them. Why would you call yourselves Kaya Bakery and not have any kaya products on your menu? read more

Pre-ordered for their pop up in SF and was extremely disappointed. I tried my hardest not to leave a bad review, but over a month later, I still have a bitter taste in my mouth. Though 2 of the croissants looked nice, they tasted stale and none of the flavors actually tasted like what they were suppose to. On top of that, the sampler box was extremely overpriced - $30+ for 2 filled croissants, 1 unfilled and a couple of little butter cookies. Don't waste your time or money! This is especially true if you're in SF - go to neighbor, tartine or arsicault instead! read more

I have only tried the summer set but I'm pretty satisfied with the variety, especially with the raspberry, lychee, and rose croissant. There's crushed rose sprinkled on top of the croissant which really brings out the rose flavor when I sunk my teeth into it and made me super excited and happy (can you tell I'm partial to rose?) but doesn't completely overpower the lychee either so you can really taste the flavors. I'm actually quite glad they put the raspberry jam on the side because I got to experience the second half of my croissant with it and while the flavors still taste great (I'm also partial to tart flavors) but overall the flavors became a bit messy and didn't stand out as much. I enjoyed the croissant (light and fluffy with crunch to it) but word of caution, perhaps because it's so light and fluffy and holds so much goodness inside, the filling is more than likely to spill out. Also flakes everywhere! If you like keeping your dinner tables clean, break out that plate. The matcha and Thai tea croissants are also quite good, with both flavors on the light side. Their strawberry and jasmine spread is quite generous (it comes in a pretty jar, yeah keeping it for future jam storage). One last thing, if you can manage to not scarf down the whole lot, you can freeze it up to two weeks (there's instructions on how long it takes to reheat it to achieve that nice crunch). Overall I highly recommend trying out these croissants and sharing it with friends instead of hoarding it like me read more
