Where can I get amazing croissants for Xmas?

Costcos are hit or miss. Sometimes they are AMAZING but I would say only like 1 out of every 3 times. The other 2 times they are alright. And it is not possible to tell just by their bake date - that doesn't seem related. Wish I could tell without buying a whole box of them.

I do love the costco croissants, but who can eat 20 of them?

Trader Joes are better.

Some Costcos will sell you the croissants frozen, then you can bake them at home (like the TJ’s ones.) if you can find that option do it. Bonus if you stuff chocolates in them before baking.

You’re kidding, right?

The croissants at Fresh Baguette are fantastic. My DD has requested them for Christmas morning breakfast.

Also enjoy the Costco croissants, though the thought of going there a day or two before Christmas makes me shudder! The ones at Sunday Morning Bakehouse in North Bethesda are amazing. OP if you tell us where you're located perhaps we can guide you better.

They really aren’t that good.

They never last more than 3 days at my house.

Think anywhere has any still?

They are stocked regularly. I would not buy them now and hope to eat them on Christmas - they will be stale. Go early on the 24th and get some.

What? Just get the frozen ones. Put out to rise when you go to bed Christmas Eve. Smell them cooking while you open gifts. Then have mimosa and croissants.

TJ used to have great butter croissants in the freezer section, a bag of 8 from Belgium. I think you had to take them out of the freezer a half hour before baking them. Shortly before the pandemic, they switched packaging to a box and the ones they had then were really greasy --nothing like the Belgian ones. Which ones are the PPs talking about? I haven't been to TJ since March, so I am not fully up to date.

Not around the DMV unless you make them yourself.

I think PPs are talking about the ones in the flat, square box. They have them year round - almond croissants and chocolate croissants. You have to take them out to proof 9 or so hours before baking.

I've never seen the plain ones. But like you, I haven't been to TJ's since March.
