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 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.
