Few things can match the simple pleasure of a perfectly baked croissant’s flaky, buttery goodness. Whether you’re a traditionalist seeking a classic crescent or you’re after something fun, Brisbane’s bakery scene has a croissant to satisfy every craving.

Come with us on a tour of the tastiest pastries as we visit bakeries across town to discover the best croissants in Brisbane.

Croixssant

Croixssant falls into the creative origins, whupping up new flavour combos on the regular.

With Melbournian origins, this south-side bakery follows a labour-intensive, three day process to craft the perfect croissant. Always looking to innovate, they’ve taken things to the next level, by expanding the menu to sugar-drenched masterpieces like the pistachio croll (croissant roll), and savoury surprises such as the cheeseburger and eggplant parmi croissant.

Lune Croissanterie

Lune Croissanterie

No list of the best croissants in Brisbane would be complete without Lune Croissanterie. Famous for its crescent-shaped morsels of goodness, Lune is also well known for its almond croissant, topped with a perfect spine of flaked almonds.

Celebrating the creation, complexity and ultimate enjoyment of a croissant, Lune has Brisbanites in such a chokehold that you’ll find lines out the door each morning.

Releasing new flavours each month, this bakery takes pastry creativity to a whole new level with the Lune Lab degustation experience, a three-course set menu that begins with the signature croissant.

Sitchu Tip: If you visit Lune Lab, try dipping your croissant in champagne, as the French do!
