Croissante - Santa Clara, California

Visited Croissante almost after two years. Came here when it opened and it was immensely crowded back then so decided to come with a tea reservation this time.

We decided to do high tea with friends and enjoyed our service. The assortment was good but 80% was sweet stuff. A balanced tea with more savory things would have been incredible. While we enjoyed the different delicacies, we felt the sweetness got to us after a point and we couldn't eat more.

Regarding the tea, the team only provides you with one type of tea for the table. This was weird because I have been to several tea places globally including ones in the Bay Area where everyone gets to pick their own tea. Here we had no choice but the table had to pick one. This was not the best after paying so much money for each tea.

The ambience is diff from most tea places too. It was a regular cafe style place and we had to share our table with another group during tea. There were places which fit 4 people and I was hoping we would get an exclusive table for 4 people reserved since this was a reservation after all.

Overall a slightly underwhelming experience compared to most places I have been to for tea.

I'm surprised the rating is not 5 stars. I think it's because this place is so packed that if you rate it 5 stars, you will never able to sit there to enjoy your brunch.

Hot dog croissant was awesome. I love bagel dog and this is much tastier and healthier (less carb).

Hazelnut croissant had jam inside along with chocolate.

Ham and cheese was good! Gruyere cheese. Tasty!

Overall, all the croissant was very fluffy and crunchy. You can taste the buttery taste but not overwhelming like some places. They have interesting drinks too besides coffee/espresso. They also have interesting bread. Will have to try it some other time.

The only bad experience I had was this 50+ years old Asian woman grab the table before getting the food claimed the mom is in line. The server politely explained the policy that she shouldn't hog the table before she purchase any food. (While 4-6 people standing, holding their food waiting for a table), then this lady made a scene said "I don't want to be kicked out, I'll talk to Sean" (I assume is the owner) she went talked to him and then got in line to get food. There was never a mother after she sat back down. What a shame! Felt bad for the workers and management there when you have to deal with someone so rude, blunt and entitled.

Mango croissant is such a must-try, good pastry but the cream with the tart mango is absolutely delicious! They’re very generous with the mango chunks, although I wish they had more of the mango cream inside, it was mostly just plain creamy but still a great and pretty unique combo.

It gets extremely crowded in here, and the line takes awhile. They are constantly putting out more pastries, but they should def hire more staff! Don’t count on being able to dine-in, takeout is the move but still be prepared to wait awhile.

It’s OK. Too busy and chaotic while the baked goods are just 3/5. Mango stuffed croissant was all right, but the plain cube croissant was not fresh and pretty much tasted like nothing. I’m obsessed with bread but I had to throw it away 🥲
I’ll leave it at your judgment but imho not worthy of the hype

They offer a wide variety of freshly baked croissants, including unique flavors like White Sesame & Honey and Triple Chocolate. The bakery also serves other pastries, breads, and coffee.

Alright, today I went to go find a hidden gem and wow am I happy that I did. This place went above and beyond to make the perfect croissant, we tried the croissant cube, chocolate and regular croissant. The croissants had a crunchy exterior not too flakey, with a fluffy but not overly buttery or greasy interior. Just a perfect bite into a pastry to start your morning. You can really tell that they are made with the highest quality ingredients cause wow please go here to try. I will be back to try everything else ♥️💕loved this experience

I highly recommend trying the strawberry chocolate croissant—it's absolutely delicious! The coffee here is also excellent, with the barista consistently delivering perfect latte art, adding a beautiful touch to an already great cup. A must-visit for pastry and coffee lovers alike.

Arrived after church on a Sunday for a meaty and sweaty treaty. Anticipation slowed down as we were greeted with a long line going out the door. No big deal . We placed an order for 6 croissants. Told us a wait time of 20 minutes. We ended up waiting for over 40. Then they got our order wrong and gave us someone else's order. We then proceeded to waiy another 15 minutes.
Other than the subpar service........
Food was phenomenal. We ordered the Ham and Swiss croissant, cheese croissant, and matching chocolate croissant. All 3 were delicious and exceeding my standards.
Be weary of wait times and be ready for yummy food.
