Susan Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I now need a croissant. Since ED is suddenly so middle class there must be a croissant delivery service?

philosophie Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 This is a grave matter and should be discussed as a community. To Boulangerie Jade, I tell thee!

Peckhamrye Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Ayres in Nunhead do an excellent croissant. Made on the premises, not bought in then baked.

phobic3000 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 La Scala do the best croissants, buttery and always fresh. But they opened my eyes with a Portuguese tart recently, they are yummo!

Superb lamination. Genevieve also makes one of the best flat whites in all of the South East.

Angharad_L Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 I've tried General Store before. They were good.However, they leave them next to the door to go cold and hard. This croissant positioning disturbs me! Am currently trying a croissant in Blackbird Cafe. It's good but it's no Boulangerie Jade.... I will try La Scala next! The great croissant debate of the middle classes rages on.

MirandaS Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I'm assigned the croissant run every Saturday morning, which mean getting up early to head to Cafe Viva who have the best almond croissants. As they only stock a couple they are often sold out so the next best is cafe trio.

Jeremy Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I think Viva and Trio have the same suppliers. At least, lots of their things look identical..

MarianaTrench Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I had a croissant from Andersons this morning (Bellenden Road) and it was delicious. I do love Trio for their cakes and coffee though (and staff).

pearl1 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Seriously now, the best croissants are definitely from Boulangerie Jade but the best almond croissants are from Blackbird Bakery..

Mustard Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Third for the Lidl croissants, especially considering the price. They reheat well over a day or so.

Angharad_L Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Had a croissant today from Patisserie Valerie when out and about. Not as good as Boulangerie Jade. I haven't tried the Anderson's ones as they always look a bit small and squashed and sorry for themselves. Hoxton Hotel do a great croissant, but it's a bit far to travel every morning.

Jeremy Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Anderson's croissants and pastries are just too dense, bready and hard for me. Not a patch on the ones in Trio/Viva...

PSJ Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Such a shame that croissants are restricted to breakfast and brunch. I'd love them for dinner or an nice desert. (With apricot jam).I do like BJs offerings within the Se22 postcode.

Liz_21 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 This thread is the BEST. Finally, I've found a community I can call home.I've conducted tests on all the mainstream supermarket brands - Lidl is certainly a strong contender with a great aroma, hearty size and good rip-ability. Points off for flakiness though. Tesco is your best option if you enjoy a crunchier crossaint. It is Sainsbury's however, that wins it for me. Consistent crossaint goodness in every bite. I look forward to branching out and testing all the named local establishments above.
