Stick with frozen TJ croissants.

They have them in the bakery section too. Just saw them in NoVa this morning. Those are not frozen, of course.

Whole Foods has started stocking chocolate croissants in a refrigerated case. I have purchased them a few times and they are quite good.

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.

Agreed the new ones at tj aren’t as good. Even my six year old noticed the difference and said they weren’t good like they used to be. Fresh directs are very good and they also have a multigrain version.

They really aren’t that good.


Ok, then tell me what is better around here.


NP, but I like the ones from Le Caprice in Columbia Heights.
