The Best Croissants In Perth to Transport You to Paris

Any decent home cook out there can manage a batch of muffins or banana bread, but to make a buttery, crisp, flaky croissant by hand is a process that’s altogether more time-consuming; with many steps and precision needed when it comes to temperature control, and high-quality butter required.

This is why we’re lucky. We can hang up the apron, head to a bakery, and get our hands on some freshly baked, world-class croissants here in Perth. Get to these places early in the morning - this eternally popular baked good tends to walk out the door quickly. Best paired with a delicious Perth coffee, of course!

These are the best croissants in Perth, for mouth-watering treats your soul will thank you for. 

Chocolatine at Miller + Baker

Miller + Baker is one of the few bakeries in Australia that mill their flour, and it shows. Freshly milled, their nutrient-dense WA wheat flour is used for baking the next day. The result is impossibly fresh and delicious baked goods, of which their Chocolatines are no exception. Giving the choc of a pain au chocolat an upgrade, the quality and flavour are unmatched.

Almond Croissant at Wild Bakery

We say try the almond croissant, but really, any will do from Wild Bakery. This bakery is passionate about keeping its processes simple, using only the best ingredients and baking fresh on-premises.

What started as a mission to make bread that's better for the belly without unnecessary additives, Wild Bakery has grown to provide delicious loaves and sweet treats for the people of Freo. You can pick up your croissants in-store, or find their yellow van at weekend markets across Subiaco, Fremantle, Victoria Park and Palmyra.

Pistachio Croissant at Arthur Bakery

Joining the pistachio craze one crumbly pastry at a time, Arthur Bakery has introduced its latest creation - the pistachio croissant. The double-layer French croissant features a green and gold stripe finish, creamy pistachio filling and a pistachio crumb. If pistachio isn't your thing, the signature chocolate Brigadeiro is the next best option.

If you've already sampled a few of the treats from Arthur's that blend French and Brazilian flavours in their modern bakery, you'll know this will satisfy the strongest croissant cravings.

Plain Croissant at Whisked The Right Wei

Started by Deric, a talented and passionate pastry chef who has worked under greats in the game and visited the croissanterias of Paris, Whisked The Right Wei is a stripped-back bakery, offering traditional and delicious baked goods,

Almond Croissant from Goods Bakery

This West Leederville bakery's dedication to handcrafting pastries means visually perfect and irresistibly delicious croissants. The double-baked almond croissant soaked in vanilla syrup, filled with almond frangipane and topped with sliced almonds is beyond mouthwatering. The effortlessly cool vibe of the bakery and the wafting aroma of freshly baked goods add to the overall experience.

Almond Croissant at North Street Store 

North Street Store in Cottesloe has earned a cult following for its exceptional baked goods, and its croissants are no exception. Baked fresh daily, these croissants are celebrated for their flaky, golden crust and soft, buttery inside. The almond croissant is one of their most popular sweet treats, filled and topped with a delicious crème patisserie, almond frangipani and a good sprinkling of flaked almonds.

16 North Street, Cottesloe 

Pain au Chocolat at Teeter Bakery 

Made with Hunted and Gathered 70% chocolate bars and Lescure lamination butter, the small batch pain au choc at Teeter is a must-try for croissant enthusiasts. You can get your hands on them at the pastry shop door on Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings - but get there early because these babies sell out fast.  

145a Claisebrook Road, Perth

Zonts Bakehouse

It’s hard to choose the best on field at Zonts, who create a joyful selection of taste sensations thanks to plenty of monthly specials. A spin of the wheel could land on a croissant filled with housemade Pandan kaya (coconut jam) and coconut filling topped with pandan biscuits and shredded coconut, or perhaps a chocolate custard-filled croissant topped with dark chocolate and honeycomb shards.

The best-seller, according to the Zonts crew, is the twice-baked pistachio. They employ French-style artisan baking, but Zonts will change your perception of a standard butter croissant -  they push croissants to the limit. 

228 James Street, Northbridge

Monthly Cruffin Special at Sugar & Nice 

This popular Inglewood bakery bakes some of the most delicious monthly cruffin specials.  Sugar & Nice prefer to call them croissant pies; cruffin is a word requiring too much of an explanation. These weekend-only treats rotate flavours monthly; you can even drop in a flavour request!

Previous flavours have included strawberry and basil sherbet, birthday cake pudding, a jammy lamington version and lemon meringue pie, with pretzel butter and brown sugar meringue. Delicious!

Vegan Almond Croissant at Carina's Kitchen

Vegans should beeline to Carina’s weekly stall at the Growers Green markets in Fremantle on Saturdays - her vegan almond croissant is impeccable. As is the rest of her range; all made with wholesome ingredients and all-natural, with a fantastic selection of vegan, gluten-free, egg-free and dairy-free baked goods available.

Plain Croissant at Harvest Boulangerie Patisserie

Any Doubleview or Scarborough local will point you to Harvest Boulangerie Patisserie for a pastry hit: it sits on the Brighton Road strip along with gourmet foodies’ haven, the Brighton Road Food Market. The plain croissants are heavenly, along with the crowd-favourite ham and cheese croissant along with must-buys like the 100% organic flour sourdough with cranberries, sultanas and walnuts,

Raspberry Almond Croissant at Chu Bakery

A spectacular hot pink raspberry dusting makes Chu Bakery’s almond croissant with raspberry compote a visually exciting offering, but we’re here to tell you it’s just as enjoyable to taste. An amazing hybrid of an oozy jam-doughnut style jam fills this almond croissant, with fabulous frangipane cream.

They’ve been making this croissant since they opened their doors in 2016, and it continues to walk out the door by the trayful. Keep your eyes peeled for monthly, limited-time-only croissant specials.

498 William Street, Highgate

Pain au Chocolat Croissant at Mary Street Bakery

Doughnuts are probably the first thing that comes to mind at Perth’s OG bake lords Mary Street Bakery, but their choc croissant is pretty high up there and worthy of inclusion on any best croissants round-up. Dunk it in your coffee and let that chocolate centre ooze its way into your heart.

Hazelnut Stuffed Croissant at Knead 

A small bakery doing big things, the family-operated Knead is opposite the Scarborough Beach Pool and beach; an ideal location for a post-dip carb refuel. Knead is the king of heavyweight sourdough and focaccia, so pop that in the brown bag, but don’t overlook their sourdough croissants, especially their hazelnut stuffed crescent of goodness.

Traditional French Croissant at Maison St Honore

You might remember Maison St Honore from their time spruiking macarons at farmers markets; these days, they have some delightful bricks and mortar premises - a cafe/garden in Caversham, stores in Floreat, Mount Pleasant and Ellenbrook, as well as their macaron factory in the Swan Valley.

But we’re not here to talk about macarons - Maison St Honore, the traditional French bakers they are, have more than one trick up their sleeve - after the macaron, they nail a traditional croissant. Their pain au chocolat is equally hard to resist.

Fried Chicken Croissant at Croff Bakehouse

If you love to try new flavour sensations, you’ll enjoy the beautifully presented Croff Bakehouse treats. In the kitchen is Singaporean self-taught baker Giselle Sim, who runs Croff with her husband Harold Bong, and loves croissants more than most things in the world. The savoury fried chicken croissant (classic croissant filled with fried chicken, ham and cheese) fuses Korean flavour and French baking tradition into one contemporary croissant. 

There are meals to be made of the croissants here, with dumpling croissants, cheeseburger croissants, and even beef rendang croissants. However, if a ham-and-cheese croissant crossed with a ham-and-cheese toastie sounds up your alley, try their croissant loaf!
