Where to Find the Best Croissants in Brisbane

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 seeking a sweet or savoury new flavour, Brisbane’s bakery scene has something 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.

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!

Croixssant

One of the newest bakeries on the scene, Croixssant is getting creative in order to dish up some of the best croissants in Brisbane.

With Melbournian origins, this south-side bakery follows a labour-intensive, three day process to craft the perfect croissant. Then they decided to take it to the next level, by expanding the menu to sugar-drenched masterpieces like the pistachio croll (croissant roll), or savoury surprises such as the cheeseburger or eggplant parmi croissant.

And for the vegan and dairy-intolerant among us, you’ll be chuffed to know that you can score a vegan treat too, with a wide selection of dairy and egg free options!
