| - THE best croissants I've had in the GTA, hands down. When I first saw the prices, I paused and doubtfully thought that, surely one croissant couldn't be worth that steep-ish price ($3.00 per Chocolate croissant). Until I bit into it, and then I understood - yes, this croissant is worth every penny. Authentic, chewy, melt-in-your-mouth, and so addicting.
First, parking. Located in downtown Oakville, street parking in front of the shop is metered and only takes $1.00, $2.00, and $0.25 coins.
Second, the shop. There's only a handful of tables, but it's charming, clean, and very welcoming. It's a little shop with a large variety of drinks and pastries. And as the name implies, this is definitely your stop for all things croissants - they had Almond, Hazelnut, Plain, Chocolate, etc. I was in a hurry (my parking was running out!) so I grabbed just one Chocolate croissant - in short, it was amazing. Delectable. Literally, oozing with chocolate. The pastry itself was so chewy, and the brioche texture really stood out. In terms of texture, it wasn't so flaky as much as it was fresh, soft, and chewy, which I loved. The shape was also different from usual croissants - more elongated, and stuffed with melted chocolate. I can't wait to come back and try out the other 'flavours.' Highly recommended if you're in the area.
For one Chocolate croissant, with tax, I paid $3.15.
