Almond Croissant: crunch, almond filling and coffee
Meet our Almond Croissant — laminated dough, a creamy almond filling, and the perfect coffee match.
Among the pastries on our counter, the Almond Croissant holds a special place. It starts from the same laminated dough as our classic Croissant — dough built from many thin layers of butter, carefully folded and rested before baking — and then gets an almond filling that turns it into something richer, creamier, and more lingering in sweetness.
The almond filling sits inside the dough, and after baking the croissant is finished with almonds on top. That’s where the contrast we’re after comes together: a crisp, golden crust with toasted almond on the outside, and a soft, fragrant, almost melting filling inside. Every bite carries that mix of textures — first the crunch of the layered dough, then the softness of the filling.
The Almond Croissant is a product that demands patience. Laminated dough is already a multi-step process on its own — chilling, folding, chilling again — and adding the filling requires precision so the layers don’t collapse in the oven. Our team goes through this process every morning, following the same craft principles they learned training with a Foricher master baker in Paris.
The Almond Croissant pairs beautifully with coffee. The warmth and intensity of an espresso balances the sweetness of the filling, while a creamy Caffè Latte makes for a softer, milkier match. If you want something for the morning, our Specialty Filter Coffee also works well alongside it — its bitter notes bring out the toasted almond flavor.
This is a great choice for anyone who wants something more than a classic croissant, while staying in the same laminated-dough family. It’s not too sweet to start the day with, yet it has enough character to be a good pick for an afternoon coffee break too.
You’ll find the Almond Croissant at both of our shops — Aerodrom and Kapistec Petit.
If you love almonds and laminated dough, this is one step beyond the classic — the same craftsmanship, with an extra layer of flavor. Come try it fresh, baked that same morning in our bakery, with the same attention to detail we’ve kept since day one.
