Brotherbird Milk & Croissants created this bubble tea mochi croissant recently, hopping onto the bandwagon of boba trends and I had never actually tried their croissants before. I’d seen them on instagram but like never really travelled the way to get them, so I had rather high expectations from the hype. 🥐

I was rather disappointed. I ordered the Rocher Croissant ($5) and the Boba Croissant ($5.50) at the Stateland Cafe where they have this small popup glass display of their croissants. Perhaps it became a little soggy and the crust had absorbed all the filling, but the boba croissant had barely any filling left and the pearls were all that were inside a pretty soggy crust. Maybe because I went late at around 6pm? But I think if something spoils or loses quality in a few hours, maybe they should pipe fillings upon order?☕️

The Rocher croissant was okay I guess - it was filled with nutella and coated in chocolate. It was also a little soggy, but better than the boba croissant. It’s coated with chocolate so I see reheating it as a bit of an issue. Maybe I’ll come back and try them fresh; but at this point I don’t really understand what the difference between a mochi croissant and a normal croissant is.

Verdict: 6.5/10

Visited Konditori the other day near Haji Lane ✨ their Red Velvet Croissant really caught my eye because it was so so pretty and I heard a lot of good things about them!

Firstly, it’s Halal! There’s not many good Halal dessert spots that people know of, so it’s nice that it’s in a relatively accessible place! 😊 Also, it’s mega delicious - just look at that cream cheese filling and it’s covered in chocolate and red velvet cake crumbs! Super good and quite affordable at a price tag of $5.90 considering it’s quite a hefty croissant! The staff are so nice and friendly too ✨👏🏻

Verdict: 9.5/10

My absolute favourite of all the croissant flavours Sugar Thieves has put out!! This was their Earl Grey Raspberry Croissant that they launched over the National Day Weekend.

The earl grey cream was so flavourful and the raspberry jam was a great touch to cut throught the sweetness!

Verdict: 10/10

I think my love for croissants have never been stronger with this particular pastry from Petit Pain.

This beauty takes three days to make and is quite an indulgent treat but SUPER worth the butter consumption 🙂 the hint of sea salt also makes it so much better!! ($3 for a plain croissant)

Even though it’s quite a fair bit away from where I live, I don’t mind popping over to get these golden brown beauties for myself!!

Verdict: 10/10 (best plain croissant in singapore right now) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hallmarks of a good croissant have to be the honeycomb interior, how flaky it is and how rich the butter taste is – all 3 things that Bakery Brera nails! (Plus their cruffins are SO good) ⁣

The croissant was $3.70 if I’m not wrong and the cruffins were $5 each! Not bad for quite a hefty pastry! I’ve tried their Kougin Amann too (??) spelling this always gives me a headache... ⁣🍞

Verdict: 10/10

I already love croissants but wow this cruffin truly blew my mind – albeit on the pricey side but it was the perfect blend of my two favourite things, matcha and croissants. It had such a ooey gooey centre and the crust was perfectly flaky... true perfection. However, I did have a gripe about the standard of service. I do understand it was a busy day for them but the service staff had actually left our cruffin in the toaster and forgot to heat it up for us or just heated it up and left it in there for 20 minutes as we waited. When we retrieved the cruffin, it was barely lukewarm. The flavours did sort of make up for it, though.
