Buttery?

I think they're ok. I mean, even W.S.'s are not mindblowingly good -- my sister buys a huge load every year and I'm not a big fan, but will eat one. Nothing is as good as freshly made.

If you really want them to be great, I'd preorder and pick some up the day before and store in an airtight container.

LIDL's -- quite good and only $.49

France has the most delicious croissants. Try there?

So stupid.

Anyone else tried these? I will be in the area in the coming days.

Haven't tried their croissants lately. That place is so good that if I am driving on 495 in the vicinity of the Braddock Rd. exit, I will get off 495 just to go there for a bakery item. Also, their quiches are amazing.

actually just like anywhere else-there are good ones, bad ones and mediocre ones. Even in France.

+1. We buy WF's plain and choc frozen croissants to bake at home. They're pretty 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.

You need to booze on Christmas morning? Yikes.
