Salted, filled, in all sizes and colors, here are 8 croissants that offer a twist on the traditional French pastry, perfect for adding a bit of whimsy to your afternoon snack time.


The XXL croissants from Philippe Conticini

If you have a big appetite, this is the best option for you. An absolutely giant croissant, big enough to satisfy your father, mother, nephews and nieces, as well as the entire charming village of La Roche-Guyon. And we’re barely exaggerating. Philippe Conticini breaks all the records, offering a croissant bigger than a head, meant to be enjoyed by 2, 3, or even 12 people. But beware, in order to taste this exceptional piece, you absolutely must place an order.

Colorful Croissants from Chez Meunier

The bakery Chez Meunier offers a variety of colorful croissants, coated in chocolate and filled with cream that are as beautiful as they are delicious. Apricot, pistachio, chocolate or strawberry, the delicate pastel shells hold flavors that are quite traditional, but that blend wonderfully with the flakiness of the croissant, much to our delight. And one thing is for sure, with creations this pretty, the shop outshines everyone else in terms of storefront aesthetics!

The croissant burgers at Aupa Caminito

Head to the 13th arrondissement, to Aupa Caminito, to discover this wonderful creation, as mouthwatering as it looks. A croissant bun, rich in butter, enclosing juicy and tender meat, along with a generous amount of cheddar. Between the ultra tender pulled beef and the crispy puff pastry, this doesn't resemble any other Parisian burger, and just for that, it's worth the visit, believe us. Blending American culture with Parisian tradition, it's undoubtedly the best French-American fusion we've ever encountered.The post is loading...Check out this post on Instagram by Aupa Caminito! Located at 48-50 rue du Dessous-des-Berges in the 13th arrondissement, you can contact them at 06 95 93 39 83.

The haute couture croissants from L’Éclair de génie

We’re not going to lie, these croissants are without a doubt the most beautiful on this entire list. With their little swirls of cream and attractive colors, all we want to do is sink our teeth in right away. And the good news is, not only are they aesthetically pleasing, they are also very, very delicious. The filling is extremely generous (and ultra creamy), the layers are to die for, and altogether they create quite a perfect balance.

Les croissants au fried chicken de chez Papilles

An ultra crispy croissant from Mamiche, with fried chicken, fresh rocket, pickled zucchinis & red onions, jalapeno coleslaw and sriracha mayo. Do we really need to say much more to make you understand how amazing this croissant remix is? Honestly, we're not sure it's necessary, and we advise you to head to the 9th arrondissement urgently to go try this sandwich that is both innovative and comforting.
