The pastries and drinks definitely live up to the hype but the customer service is lacking. Aside from one guy taking pastry orders everyone seemed to not want to be there and inconvenienced by any simple question. Super awkward to be looking over the pastries while an employee just stands in the corner looking dejected. I hope they are not being overworked or mistreated. It's small inside no tables but you get in and out pretty fast. read more

Stopped in on a Friday afternoon and it was still a struggle to find parking but there was no line. I tried the Earl Grey Morning Bun and that was a party of sandy flaky buttery goodness with a subtle hit of Earl Grey tea. Their brown butter chocolate chip cookie was satisfyingly gooey and rich in the center with a crusty edge. It freezes well too. The interior is homey but only a few wooden benches to wait for your drinks. It's a grab and go type of bakery staffed by a super friendly team. read more

True this local Pasadena spot after seeing it go viral for numerous reasons on social media. I had to try both coffee and pastries although the place is known for pastries. There was a long line on a Friday morning still and the set up was a little odd. The line to pay covers half of the pastries displayed so I missed out on ordering some I didn't see. It was a very busy setting and ordering feels rushed. My order came out to around $40 for 4 pastries and a coffee. The pastries were good, not great and so was the coffee after mixing. I'd recommend it if the line isn't too long and you're in the area but it wouldn't be something I'd go out of my way for again. Parking is also not the best. read more

Salted Butter is a small family-owned business founded by Haruna & Johnny Romo. Haruna started baking her signature treats in her tiny kitchen and has now expanded to a small storefront. For the record, there are very few things I will stand in line for and food is not one of them, especially in the heat or the rain. Every time I drive by Salted Butter there is a line - rain or shine. I finally got lucky! I passed by around 1:15 pm and there was no one outside so I pulled into the parking lot. There were a few people ahead of me inside, and about 30 seconds later there was a line out the door. However, there were plenty of pastries in the case and more freshly out of the oven. A nice young man was taking pastry orders. If you want a beverage, you request it at the register when you pay. They use La Colombe coffee, which is like. The staff were all friendly and worked well together. I can imagine they must be tired at the end of the day. I heard the man tell someone that the Cinnamon Bun is their signature item, so I ordered it. It's different than a standard cinnamon bun because it is made from croissant dough and not a rich dough. The inner layers were light, flaky, & buttery. The cream cheese icing was thin and not overly sweet and the cinnamon filing wasn't overbearing. It had a good flavor & consistency and I like that it wasn't heavy. I also liked the crunchy ends and could taste the quality. However, I wouldn't stand in line for it but if I happen to pass by and there isn't a line I'll stop in and give something else a try. *Shared parking lot or street parking. *Order cakes & pastries online. read more

This is a very small grab-and-go shop with almost no seating, and the interior felt a bit stuffy when I visited. The latte was actually pretty decent, but the pastries were disappointing, especially for their price point. I tried the Earl Grey morning bun, and the texture was oddly tough and dense. It was also extremely sugary. I think they were going for a crunchy sugar crystal topping, but there was so much that I literally had to shake 3/4 of it off to make it more balanced. Unfortunately, the Earl Grey flavor itself was very faint, so it mostly tasted like sugar and bread. I also got the ham and cheese croissant. I ate part of it shortly after buying it, and the flavors felt muted overall. The ham was a little rubbery, while the cheese had an oily yet chalky texture. I reheated the rest at home in the toaster oven, which improved the smell, but not really the flavor or texture. It may have just been an off batch, especially since I came midday and the pastries may have been sitting for a while. Service was mixed. Half of the staff seemed welcoming, while the other half came across as a bit standoffish. Even though there was no line when I went on a weekday, I still felt somewhat rushed while ordering. Overall, the coffee was solid, but I think there are better spots in Pasadena with both stronger pastries and a more welcoming atmosphere. read more

We tried a box full of pastries delivered by a friend. All the pastries were very crispy. Not too sweet, other than the cookie. Wish some had a stronger flavor profile that's it, Peach pastry: bread was very crispy and it was pretty peachy. Just imagine an apple puff pastry but with peach. Early Grey Morning: was mostly pastry with a hint of earl grey, I would have personally enjoyed more of an earl grey flavor. Brown Butter Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie: was very sweet but nice and chewy. The sweetest thing we had in our box. Bacon Potato Croissant: was crispy and creamy, mainly potato and croissant. Ham & Cheese croissant: was ok, as it sounds, it was ham & cheese. Very croissanty. A lot of bread. read more

Salted Butter Company is a breath of fresh air in the LA bakery scene. Right off the bat, the hospitality is standout -- I'm talking the kind of attentive, genuine service you usually only find in fine dining. From the person taking my order to the team boxing pastries and making coffee, everyone was incredible kind. They even went out of their way to find a sticker for my son. In today's world, that level of service is rare and much appreciated. Be prepared for a bit of wait, as the shop is always bustling and indoor seating is unfortunately non-existent. However, the staff works efficiently to keep the line moving. As someone who can be a bit indecisive at the counter, I ended up ordering a bit of everything. Here is the breakdown: -Cinnamon Roll ($6.50): A clear crowd favorite for a reason. It's made with laminated croissant dough, giving it an airy, flaky texture. The vanilla bean cream cheese glaze hits that perfect balance of sweet and tart. -Earl Grey Orange Morning Bun ($6.50): Another winner. The bun is buttery and crispy, with the Earl Grey tea and subtle citrus notes coming through beautiful in every bite. -Ham & Cheese Croissant ($6.75): This is a very high-quality, artisan take on a classic. It features next-level flakiness and rich, gooey Gruyère. My only wish? I'd love to see a version with Jalapeños for a bit of a kick! -Chocolate Croissant ($6.00) & Chocolate Chip Cookie ($4.50): Both were solid. The croissant was delicate with a great crunch, and the cookie had that perfect salty-sweet profile thanks to a hit of sea salt. -Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Danish ($7.75): I didn't get a bite of this one -- my son claimed it immediately, as he's a huge dan of anything strawberry. I tried the Brown Butter Maple Latte ($6.90), which was a bit too sweet for my taste and it didn't quite incorporate the syrup fully into the espresso. On the other hand, my wife's Spanish Latte ($6.90) was excellent -- smooth, creamy, and much more balanced. While the pastries are undeniably top-tier, there are two things you should prepare for: the crowd and the cost. Since there is a lack of dedicated seating, it's more of a grab-and-go destination than place to linger over a morning coffee. It's easy to go overboard when everything looks this good, but it definitely left my wife with a bit of sticker shock! I'll definitely be back, though I might have to make it a solo mission next time -- or at least keep the receipt hidden from my wife! read more

Wow! This place lived up to the hype. I ordered the Spiced Spanish Latte and the Vanilla Bean Latte and they were spectacular. I also had some savory breakfast items, a butter croissant and an apple fritter that reminded me of my time in Paris. The pastries were buttery, flaky and delectable. If you're in the area or if you are not, make the trip. They will not disappoint you! read more

I'm so glad I got to check this place out. They had a better selection than I was expecting, pretty unique stuff. The staff is also super friendly so that made it extra nice. It's a small place but I usually just grab stuff to go. They have a little parking too but depending on the day the 30 minute limit might not be enough time. The earl grey croissant was a bit subtle but still nice to try, the pastry itself was excellent. read more

Salted Butter - selection of pastries - Desserts Near Me - Pasadena, California

I really wanted to like Salted Butter but just no.. To be honest, this rating is more about the gap between the hype and the reality. When you're paying premium prices, you expect a certain level of excellence that just wasn't there. The line moves somewhat fast though. The croissant cinnamon roll was a letdown, especially the frosting which was too thick which is pretty hard to justify for $8. And the apple fritter was too dense and gummy. Everything was overly sweet. The overall inconsistency make it hard to say I want to come back and try more things. For a place this famous, the quality just doesn't live up to the price tag. Parking is an inconvenience too. read more

Salted Butter absolutely lives up to the hype, but you're going to work a little for it. Parking is rough and there will most definitely be a line. Do not let that scare you off though. Once you are inside, things move pretty quickly, even if it feels a bit chaotic and packed. The most important part is the pastries. Everything we tried was solid, but a couple really stood out. The croissant cinnamon roll was my favorite by far. It is not your traditional cinnamon roll. It is flakier, lighter, and just a really fun, elevated take on it. The Earl Grey morning bun was another standout, perfectly fragrant without being overpowering. We also ordered the apple fritter, brown butter almond croissant, and blueberry cream cheese danish. All good, just not quite as memorable as the top two. Overall, yes it is crowded, yes it is a bit of a scene, but the treats are absolutely worth it. read more

I came on a Sunday afternoon and there was no line. I had the cinnamon roll, brown butter sea salt chocolate chip cookie and salted brown butter maple latte. The cinnamon roll was so flakey. The taste wasn't like a cinnamon roll, but more like a pastry with the frosting outshining the pastry. The cookie was good and the right balance of flavors. The maple latte wasn't bad, but didn't taste the maple much. I know that I came in the afternoon and I was expecting a pretty empty display case, but I am glad it wasn't. The staff was very friendly. There aren't any seats really, but three benches in the perimeter of the common area. There are some parking spots available in the plaza. I want to come back again and get more than once cinnamon roll. read more

I've been to Salted Butter twice and both times, service wasn't great. I understand there's a line, but that doesn't mean they have to rush you out. In the process of that, both times, I was either overcharged or missing a pastry in my order. Parking can be difficult, so your best bet is to park where Vons supermarket is at and walk over. Pastires are okay, not great. I won't be coming back, but wish the business success. read more

Delicious pastries! My friend and I came at 9:15am on a Thursday and there was no line outside. We had maybe 3 people ahead of us already ordering and paying for their purchases. Most items are in the $6-7 range. Food: The regular croissant was buttery and flakey. The whipped ricotta hot honey was delicious and also super buttery and flakey. Definitely eat them fresh because it tastes amazing fresh. The cinnamon roll was really yummy and I loved that the frosting wasn't too sweet! Also I loved that the frosting stayed soft/melty even after a few hours later. The apple fritter was on the sweeter side but my toddler loved this one! She loved how soft and fluffy the middle pieces were. My brother tried the spinach artichoke one and he said it was delicious. Overall, this is a solid bakery. The wait time definitely affected my rating. I don't think it's worth waiting if there's a long line. I would probably wait 5-10 min at most. If I'm already in the area I would definitely come back to try more of their savory items. One downside is the parking. They have a shared lot and very few parking spaces. Most spaces are also only 15-30 min parking. They also don't have tables for you to sit, just a few benches in the store. read more

If you love croissant type of pastries, you'll love Salted Butter! I arrived not too much longer after they opened on a weekday, and the place was already buzzing. There's limited parking, so other than just the fabulous pastries, I can understand how hard it can be to make it in on a busy day. All the pastries were beautifully laid out and looked incredibly inviting. There were way more sweet pastries compared to savory ones. I picked out a spinach-artichoke pastry, and a cinnamon roll. The spinach-artichoke pastry was good, but the cinnamon roll would be the item I come back to get. The cinnamon roll is a roll croissant doused in delicious cinnamon roll icing in the best and most amazing way. I incredibly appreciated that the pastry-to-icing ratio was amazing!! I got an iced latte and it was okay. I wouldn't necessarily wait in a long line to come back, but if I'm in the area, I'll definitely be thinking of that cinnamon roll! Friendly service! read more

A bakery I have passed by many times down California Blvd, and there always seems to be a line snaking out the door. Their windowpane includes the following words: "Your Neighborhood Bakery" and "Cakes Croissants Coffee". "Croissants" particularly attracted me in like a magnet, so one fine day I finally stopped by. Customers that morning comprised of businesspeople, medical professionals, and teenagers chattering away while the folks behind the counter were moving around almost feverishly completing orders. I have been on the lookout for croissants with jalapeño and cheese. This place comes close with its ham and cheese. The pastry was buttery with a nice toasty, crispy exterior. The ham embedded within had a nice, salty flavor while the cheese came through with its light smokiness. Although it compares well to others I've tried, it is slightly pricier too. All things considered, it was a very good ham and cheese croissant. read more

Really enjoyed the croissants . We went on a Sunday morning around 9:30 and there was a small line to get in but it went fairly quickly. We ordered the plain croissant, earl grey, cinnamon roll croissant and a chocolate chip cookie. We really liked all 3 croissants especially the earl grey. We would order any of these again. The chocolate chip cookie was good but probably would save the calories and try something different. Service was pretty friendly. The space is on the smaller side but some seating available with 3 benches. Parking is available in the back of the bakery. read more

I can't believe I haven't written this review sooner, but Salted Butter is one of my absolute favorites for pastries. I've actually been following them since the beginning -- I first ordered from the owner back when she was baking out of her apartment. I got a batch of crookies for a friend's birthday and we were instantly hooked. Now, whether it's a weekday or weekend, we pack up the babies and make the trek to Pasadena to try whatever's coming out of the kitchen. Everything has been delicious, but our go-to is the croissant cinnamon roll. And when I say it's the best croissant cinnamon roll I've ever had, I mean it. Buttery, flaky, just the right amount of crunch, and topped with the most perfect cream cheese glaze -- we get one every single time. And I finally tried the crookie today... you guys. It's to die for. My new favorite thing, hands down. They only make them on weekends, so plan accordingly and get there early. Yes, there's usually a line -- but it moves quickly, and it's 100% worth it. Their coffee is also great -- I had the tiramisu cold brew today and it was perfection. The staff is always friendly, and they've got a solid system for keeping things moving despite the small space. read more

Ordered a half dozen for Mother's day. Didnt know about the hype but i am glad i ordered ahead of time because the line was long. I can pick it up and leave. Well, it is expensive for croissant. But boy were they good!. I dont like cinnamon rolls but my mom does and so when i saw the box came with two i was delighted. The good - i have to say the croissant were all good. The flakiness, the crunch and the buttery taste. They are all fluffy and crisp at the same time. Scone is a bit dense but still better than a lot of places i had. Apple fritters - you can taste the freshness of the apples. Its really good as well. The bad - super sweet. Its really really sweet. If you like sweet? Youll love it. Its a bit much for me but once a while its ok. I cant have this everyday nor would i for the price either. The icing is really good because it has a lot of cream and butter in it so it never gets hard and flaky. I get the hype. Just not for people who doesnt like sweet. or just get their savory ones. They taste amazing. read more

Stopped by Salt & Butter on a Thursday around 11am and there was a small line, but it moved fast. They've got the flow down: order, box, pay, done. Perfect for a quick grab-and-go. Parking can be a little tricky. There's a small lot in the back with limited spots, but I lucked out with a quick 10-minute space. Now the important part: the pastries. * Croissant cinnamon roll: flaky, buttery, with a cream cheese-leaning icing, super tasty. * Apple fritter: low-key the star. It's like chunks of monkey bread fused together with glaze...so good. * Brown butter almond croissant: solid, rich, and exactly what you'd want. * Brown Butter sea salt chocolate chip cookie: classic and satisfying. Overall, everything was really good. Not "life-changing," but definitely hits that sweet spot of being a consistently excellent bakery you'd happily come back to. Would return for that apple fritter and try all the other pastries I had to hold myself back from also buying on this trip. read more

Salted Butter Bakery in Pasadena is a tiny bakery with a line that usually stretches out the door. Parking is a bit limited, but people clearly come here for a reason. For drinks we got the iced strawberry matcha and the salted butter brown sugar maple latte, and both were really good. The strawberry and matcha combo surprisingly worked really well together and was super refreshing, especially on a hot day. For pastries we tried a few things. The brown butter almond croissant was super flaky, but the sweet almond filling inside (that custardy almond mixture) was a little heavy for me. Still good, just a bit much. Our favorite was the spinach artichoke dip danish..wow. So savory and flavorful, definitely the standout. We also got the popular cinnamon rolls, which were really good. I loved the glaze on top..it tasted more like a slightly tart cream cheese glaze rather than the typical powdered sugar glaze most places use. Overall it was really good and I'd definitely go back to try more pastries. Just be prepared things can get messy, so grab plenty of napkins. There are two small benches inside where you can sit while waiting for drinks, and the people working there were nice and helpful. Plus there are plenty of spots around the area where you can walk and sit to enjoy your pastries. read more

Finally made it to Pasadena to try these delicious basked goods and they did not disappoint. I was worried about the long line but to my surprise it wasn't so bad on a Saturday morning (10am) There is a small parking lot right behind which is convenient. There are two lines- express line if just picking up drinks and cakes / the other line for general pastries and drinks. The line actually moves pretty quickly. You order your pastries first and then drinks, then pay at the register. They have a main drink menu but often have seasonal drinks as well. In regards to their pastries, they generally change every month. The March pastry menu was looking mighty fine. I ordered the salted brown butter maple latte (iced) and the espresso was strong but well balanced. Not too sweet at all. Really solid latte and good! Ordered a variety of pastries but wish I could have tried more (sad) - bacon potato cheese danish - spinach artichoke dip danish - cinnamon roll croissant - Crookie - chocolate croissant The Crookie was SO GOOD. The croissant was flakey and had a chocolate filling, topped with a baked chocolate chip cookie. Everything was just soft and gooey. YUM. But the Cinnamon Roll croissant was my favorite!!! It was also very soft, flaky, pull apart goodness. The icing is not too sweet, more on the cream cheese side. It was bomb. If you haven't made your way here yet, it's a MUST! read more

If you work near nearby like me, Salted Butter Bakery is both a blessing and a curse. I'm obsessed! It's always popping with lines out the door, but the food is absolutely top tier. The Spinach Artichoke "Dip" Danish & the Brown Butter Sea Chocolate Chip Cookie are my all time go to. I have yet to try their lattes, they look amazing! They have seasonal items so don't fall in love too hard for those items. I will say, their wait time runs fair fast and smooth. The staff are very friendly and sweet :) read more

Finally found the chance to try Salted Butter! This bakery has been trending on social media and honestly, the lines have been intimidating but I finally found time to go! It's located across the street from the hospital and finding parking was probably one of the worst experiences ever. I went on a Saturday afternoon at around 1pm. There's a big parking lot in the back of their bakery but most of the empty spots you see are reserved for the neighboring businesses. They have maybe four spots reserved for their business but at the time, it was all occupied by customers. I was lucky enough to find a 15 minute parking spot on the curb inside the parking lot. The bakery is on the smaller side. They have a red velvet rope that forms a line outside their shop if it does get too busy. Fortunately, there wasn't a line out the door yet. Walking in, you see a big display case and a drinks menu above it. Unfortunately, we did come a little late so there weren't a lot of options left. We asked what were the recommendations for the given pastries left and we took their opinion and grabbed what was good! We got the Pistachio Chocolate Swirl, Croissant Cinnamon Roll, Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie, and an Iced Cloud Matcha! The total for everything came out to be $~30! There's a few tables available but I did end up bringing this home to enjoy. Food: Iced Cloud Matcha (8.9/10): Wow this was delicious! The matcha flavor was there and the milk didn't overpower the flavor of the matcha. The salted cream top was the cherry on top to make the entire drink stand out. It was a salted cream top so it adds a nice balance to the sweetness of the drink. I think they added a vanilla syrup to the drink which was yummy! It didn't overpower the matcha flavor which was nice! Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie (8.5/10): Yum!! The brown butter was the absolute perfect touch to this cookie. The sea salt sprinkled on top of the cookie cut into the sweetness. I will say that this was on the sweeter side and I couldn't eat this in one sitting. Every bite had a good chunk of chocolate so if you like your chocolate cookies to have less chocolate and more cookie, this definitely isn't the one for you. Croissant Cinnamon Roll (8/10): Oh Wow!! This was a unique one. Instead of a doughy roll, they made this a croissant texture instead. The outer layer was baked so there would be some flakiness but the cream cheese frosting did soften it up. They were not stingy with the cream cheese frosting. Each bite was soaked with the frosting and it added a nice sweetness to the cinnamon-y, warm , and soft layer. Pistachio Chocolate Swirl (?/10): I don't think I'm the right audience to rank this pastry. I got this because of the recommendation but I already knew that this one wasn't going to be for me. It's a croissant with layers of pistachio and chocolate! It personally isn't for me but if you're a person that likes pistachio on your pastries this will be for you! read more

This bakery is very popular. Lines are often long so get here early if you want good selection of various pastries. They are open from 7am to 4pm. I ordered the following beverages: Salted brown butter maple latte: 4/5 Tiramisu cold brew: 5/5 Earl Grey latte: 5/5 Out of the three beverages I tried, I liked the salted brown butter maple latte the least. Although it was good, it wasn't as good as the other two. The flavors of the Tiramisu cold brew and Earl Grey latte were more delicious. I ordered the following pastries: Ham and cheese croissant 4/5. Spinach artichoke dip Danish: 5/5 Croissant cinnamon roll: 5/5 Croissant apple fritter: 3/5 Bacon potato cheese: 3/5 Black Forest cheesecake: 4/5 Overall, all of the pastries were fresh, flaky, and delicious. I liked some more than others as a personal preference. The interior of this bakery is very small. Be prepared to purchase items to go rather than eating at this establishment. I would recommend this place. I will be coming back to try other items. read more

The selection of pastries is rather limited, but the taste makes up the difference and presentation was huge!

This bakery is all the hype right now on Instagram and Facebook so we had to check it out and see if it lived up to its posts. We arrived to find a decent size line (15 people or so) extending out the door and around the building. We didn't wait too long maybe 20 minutes. People are in and out quick as they pick up and leave, because there is just 4 benches (that seat 2 people each) inside for seating (and no tables). As we arrived at the counter we were given a warm greeting and placed our order, lemon meringue croissant and apple fritter. I love lemon meringue pie and this croissant was a perfect clone. Buttery and flaky croissant dough stuffed with lemon curd and topped with lightly torched meringue. The Apple fritter was done in a round mold, flavor was fantastic and the outside was caramelized and crispy and the inside was warm and soft. Did it live up to the hype? 100% Is it worth the wait? 100% read more

I came here Sunday morning with my friend and we arrived around 7:20 AM. Luckily we found parking at the nearby bank, and when we got there only two people were in line and we were the 3rd. Within about 15 minutes the line grew a lot, so I'm really glad we got there early! They open at 8 AM, and once the doors opened the line moved quickly and we got inside within a few minutes. We ordered the brown butter croissant, strawberry cheesecake croissant, cinnamon roll, and apple fritter, plus drinks an iced vanilla bean latte and a hot salted maple coffee. When you order, you pick your pastries first and then place your coffee order at the register when you pay. If you're just coming for coffee, you can skip the pastry line and let them know you're coffee-only, which is super convenient. Now for the pastries: Brown butter croissant-this was my least favorite. It just didn't really appeal to my taste buds. Cinnamon roll- Totally different from what I expected! It's more of a crispy, croissant-style pastry instead of a soft, doughy cinnamon roll. The first bite surprised me because it was so buttery and flaky. The glaze was delicious and honestly really good, even though it's not the traditional style I'm used to. Strawberry cheesecake croissant- wow, super flavorful and delicious. Apple fritter - I didn't try this one so I can't really comment. The cinnamon roll was definitely the standout for me and something I'd order again. As for the coffee... I was a little disappointed. The vanilla bean latte tasted like it had no vanilla at all I kept mixing it thinking the flavor just settled, but nope. The salted maple coffee was fine, but nothing memorable. I personally wouldn't come back just for the coffee. Overall, this place gets 4 stars from me. The pastries are unique and worth trying, and I'm glad I finally crossed it off my bucket list. That said, I personally wouldn't wait in a very long line for it. I still prefer the cinnamon rolls at Badash Bakery. But overall, it's a solid spot with creative flavors and a fun experience. read more

Wanted to come here to see what the hype was about! On a Monday afternoon, there was no line at all. We walked straight up to order and the service was great. I ordered an iced americano. Their default for iced drinks is 16oz, so I asked them for less water and the drink was made perfectly! My sister also enjoyed her iced cloud matcha latte and said the cream on top was tasty. We ordered a butter croissant, a spinach and artichoke dip croissant, and a brown sugar almond croissant. This was a perfect light breakfast. I liked that the spinach and artichoke croissant wasn't too salty! I do wish that they were warmed up though. I'm not sure if this is an option because I didn't ask. Overall, the croissants were good, but I don't think they're worth waiting in a long line for on a busy day. But I would come back on a weekday again when it's not busy! The shop is cute and small with benches for a few people to sit on. There is a clean bathroom. The parking lot seemed a little small and I can see how it could be difficult to get parking on a busy day. read more

Salted Butter - Brown butter almond croissant, butter croissant, spinach and artichoke dip croissant - Desserts Near Me - Pasadena, California

Came here around 8 a.m. and even though the line wrapped around the building, it was not insanely long, it just moved a little slower than we expected. Once you get inside, you can see the full case of pastries before ordering, which I loved because everything looks unreal. The process is pretty straightforward. You order at the counter, move to the other side while they pack everything up, then pay and go once your food is ready. Easy system, just a bit time consuming if there is a line. We ordered the French dip croissant, the artichoke dip croissant, the croissant cinnamon roll, and a chocolate chip cookie. Everything was super delicious except the cookie. I would skip that next time. But the cinnamon roll was absolutely to die for. Both savory croissants were so flavorful and completely worth it. I think the savory options rotate, which makes me want to come back and try more. There is not really space to sit inside, especially when it is busy. It is pretty cramped, but perfect to grab and take home. Definitely worth the hype, just plan for a bit of a wait. read more

So much hype about this place and I understand it. However I do wish there were more variety. Their items are mostly pastry dough based which is cool but would love to see some cakes and tarts! We came here on a Sunday at 3:00 ish and there wasn't really a line. Just about 3 people ahead of us. Got the croissant cinnamon roll, butter croissant and the red velvet cupcake. Everything was so good!! read more

This is the most viral croissant bakery. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. I got their iconic croissant cinnamon roll and pizza croissant to try. My friend even gave me some of her earl gray scone to try which was thick, buttery, moist, with a crisp exterior and floral notes. Not really for me. The cinnamon roll was super cinnamony, gooey, yummy and perfectly balanced to be not too sweet with the buttery flakey pastry. The pizza croissant had good tomatoey sauce, a crispy cheese top, but I wasn't getting any bacon like they said there was in it and it lowkey just reminded me of digiornos croissant pizza. Overall this place eh. Earl gray scone $5.25 Cinnamon roll croissant $6.50 Pizza croissant $6.75 read more
