BEST CROISSANTS IN AUCKLAND 🥐🥐🥐
I personally liked the plain once more than the flavoured ones.
The plain ones are still super crunchy even if you get it for take away and eat later. The fillings for flavoured ones can be quite sweet.
The only downside to this shop is they sell out too fast..!! 🥹🥹🥹
Lovely pastry range when they’re not sold out! Nicely crusted with a decent amount of filling. Black sesame was yum, almond is pretty decent. Still holding the spot for the top pastry bakery out there but mibo is up there! Customer service could be a touch friendlier imo (but maybe it was just on the day, that particular hour ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) and not feel like being judged in their small cafe space for taking a hot minute to choose.
So I got an almond croissant for 8 NZD and a pistachio croissant for 8.5 NZD. At first, I intended to have these babies for dine-in with a coffee, but since the place was full (I think I arrived at around 12-1 pm?), another takeaway, then.
First, the almond croissant. Solid 8.5/10. The shell was still crunchy even after it got hit by Auckland's strong winds during my way back to the apartment. Gotta say I love the filling they used here, smooth almond-flavored cream with very moderate sweetness. And I think they also put fine grinds of almonds too? Overall, the croissant macthed perfectly with my homemade iced latte.
The pistachio croissant was quite similar in terms of sweetness/taste. Although, I discovered that the shell was slightly better, crunchier, and more solid than the almond one (?) might be just my feeling tho. But anyway, I can tell that they used real grinded pistachio nuts in the filling. Because I actually bit a small chunk of pistachio nut that was sooo hard lol. But it's alright, 8.5/10 👍
Overall, for this price point, these are solid croissants.
