The best croissant place I've ever had! Always visited here for breakfast when my friends and I bike from Toronto in the summer. Sarah was so lovely and threw in extra treats . Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

Croissant Express Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

I have heard good things about their croissants from my friends and I came to pick up some croissants on a Saturday morning, but I wasn't quite impressed with them. They have good variety of cold and hot croissants and the prices vary somewhere between $3.5 (plain croissant) to $8 (cheese croissant). I ordered Almond Croissant, Pistachio Croissant and Chocolate Croissant. Almond croissant was too sweet for my taste, the chocolate croissant didn't have much fillings, but I liked the pistachio croissant. I noticed they added the fillings after the croissant was baked, which wasn't what I expected. The girl at the cashier was rather impatient, but the lady who served us our croissants was nice. I think they could up their game with better customer service. read more

Got the Napoleon (C$4.50) totally worth! Very light and airy, refreshing even for a late night snack! The filling is not too creamy and the sandwich layers are very crispy. There is a bit of a vanilla-like aftertaste that felt a bit unnatural, but that's just personal preference. Will try the Mille-feuille next time and eat inside or on the patio. read more

It seems silly that I am reviewing this spot without having an actual croissant here but this is a reminder to myself to get one another day. A friend and I have decided to walk twice a week by the lake before we start our work days. We drove downtown Oakville the other day and parked on the street in front of this bakery. It has just opened at 8am and there was a line! You could tell there were definitely 'regulars' here. Maybe I will become one of them! We both ordered drip coffees to go. The coffee was freshly made. I really enjoyed the flavour so perhaps I'll ask what kind of coffee they serve next time I'm there. The staff were really friendly. It smelled like buttery goodness inside and they had a variety of wonderful pastries and croissants of course. Trust me it took a lot of control not to get one LOL. read more

Ok, a bit small but pleasant and good quality. Thought prices a little high but average for the locale. read more

We visited this shop on Sunday 45 minutes before closing. As soon as we enter the shop countertop lady told us that shop is closing soon. She looks upset and unfriendly. We purchased coffee and some pastry and ask for washroom. "We don't have one", was the answer. Common guys, you sell coffee, snacks, you have and tables on the street and inside and you have no washrooms for customers? Thanks for the worst service in Oakville. read more

Great food and service- one of the best brunches in Oakville. We would go back for sure!

They have great food , but service is terrible.. They close early and ask us to leave in advance of posted closing time . They don't understand customer service at all . Chairs are up well before closing time . It's the owners fault and will lose in the future and 100 be closed once more people see how they operate read more

3.5/5 They were good for what they are but they are not what we were looking for in terms of croissants. I guess I was comparing them to croissants from France which is not even comparable but with such high reviews, a girl can only hope right? Also, their coffee was not that great. We got an Americano and a Café au Lait which wasn't very... Strong. We also tried their chocolate croissant and both danishes, I liked their chocolate croissants more. read more

I was in a rush and I had been wanting to try Criossant Express for awhile so thankfully I had a meeting nearby so I popped in to grab one of their locally famous sandwiches to go. It's a small place, with tons of yummy looking baked goodies, hot and cold sandwiches, fresh breads, and of course croissants. There isn't a ton of seating but with the summer weather they're able to add a few extra seats on their patio where you can dine in a sort of french cafe style (facing toward the street). Amazing, simply amazing! I went with the hot turkey sandwich that was made with your choice of bread (although I LOVE Rye bread, avoid it as it means you get a smaller sandwich) along with the standard toppings. The sandwich uses freshly baked (in house) bread and is toasted until crispy on the outside (like a grilled cheese) and gooey/piping hot on the inside. I carried the sandwich to my car and proceeded to go to town on it while driving to my next meeting and simultaneous scalding the roof of my mouth. Burning mouth and swerving aside the sandwich was fantastic, full marks! Looking forward to returning and trying out they're name sake baked good! Eatcrest Out read more

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. read more

It's a really good thing the owner was there that day, or it could have been a real schmozzle of a breakfast. For starters, it's a beautiful space; warm and cozy, with about six tables for two and a bold marble-top communal table by the window with high stools. There is a mix of provençal and modern in this joint, which is probably thanks to new ownership which stepped in (summer 2010) and gave it a much needed facelift. But it's clear they're still working out some kinks. My date and I snagged a simple quickie breakfast: croissant, two coffees, and quiche. After 15 minutes only one of our orders had been fulfilled, and having to wait for my first coffee of the morning makes me homocidal. Kudos to the owner, who picked up on this and offered us a complimentary cheese croissant for the wait. When my quiche finally arrived, it was the wrong one. It was my month of vegetarianism and while I'm not against bacon in principle, this is a shocking mistake to make. This time the chef came out and apologised, and offered to make me a fresh veggie omelette however I wanted. All in all the pastry and my omelette were really quite good, though our quickie breakfast turned out way longer than we wanted it to be. I have to give props to the staff for taking full ownership of the mistakes made, and doing all the right things to correct them. I would return. Obligatory Title Pun: EXPRESS yourself. Menu Readability: I can't remember, but their business cards are splendid. Need to mention: They have a front patio. What this place teaches me about myself: Being a vegetarian is tough in a meat-eater's world. read more

Happen to see this place while running by and knew that I would have to come back and check it out. So the next day that is exactly what what we did! I got the hazelnut croissant and my boyfriend got the plain one and we shared a cappuccino. We asked for the croissants to be heated up, properly, as in not in a microwave. Oh my gosh, this was the best croissant I have ever had. The hazelnut filling was to die for. It was like white chocolate and hazelnut all mixed together. The cappuccino was really good as well. I am so impressed with the quality here. I saw a lot of people eating brunch and I think we will have to come back to try it out. read more

I liked it so much I ate here twice this weekend. First time I had the first option on the menu (I think it's called Sunnyside?). I'm veggie so no meat. Poached egg with a lightly toasted buttery croissant. I loved the giant fresh roasted tomato! Today I had the eggs Benedict with the veggies and it was even better than yesterdays! Perfectly poached eggs on a bed of fresh baby spinach with a buttery croissant. The hollandaise sauce was perfect amount of butter and lemon with beautifully cooked asparagus and a fresh fruit salad accompany it. I would argue this may be the best egg Benny in town. The coffee was really good too and I like the large cups, they have nice grip. The atmosphere was very French style. They have cute tiny tables and you have to sit close to your neighbours table. I quite enjoyed this because both times I got into lovely conversations with the people next to me. It is easy to get a table as a group of two. I have seen a group of six eat there so it can accommodate most people but there may be a short wait and it may be easier to go as a two. Breakfast will be around $11 with coffee.

Croissant Express Bakery - Roasted tomato! Croisaant! Yum! - Bakeries Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

do not go here unless you're willing to pay $10 for cheese and bread that is the size of a babies palm

A popular stop for cyclists that come from Toronto and need to refuel for their bike ride home. It's a small location, but filled with amazing pastry and sweets, along with some great sandwiches and coffee. I love it! I've come and gone many times throughout the years and am happy to say that the high quality has been kept, making the ride to/from Toronto always a worthy adventure. Great croissants! Great espresso! Great sweet! And some lovely small tables outdoors for when the weather is good. :) read more

Croissant Express Bakery - Great place for a break! Lots of delish pastry, good coffee, nice little and cozy room, tables and seats out front. :) - Bakeries Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

Stopped at the Croissant Express Bakery in search of sandwiches to eat by the lake. Our expectations were blown! I had a roasted veggie and my partner had the chicken veggie sandwich. The bread was super soft, the vegetables and chicken were really flavourful. You çan taste the difference that well prepared food makes! The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and chatted with us as we waited for our lunch. My only disappointment is that we didn't think to buy some croissants or cinnamon buns to take home. Something to try next time, we'll definitely go back. read more

Food is delicious, very fresh and reasonable prices. Cinnamon buns are so moist. Great grill cheese. Friendly staff too!

Had an order of French Toast ($10.95, with side of fruit), Melted Turkey sandwich ($9.95, no side included), and a cinnamon bun croissant. The cinnamon bun croissant was excellent. Flaky on the outside, soft in the centre, just the right amount of sweetness. The French toast and Turkey sandwich were very disappointing. For the price, there was nothing included beside the sandwich and the two pieces of toast. The sandwich and the French toast were both greasy and oily. The turkey was deli-style slices, and no vegetables apart from a slice of tomato. Some lettuce or onion would have been nice. For $10-11 I'd rather go to Stoney's and get a decent sized sandwich with real ingredients. I'll be back but only for the baked goods. read more

Seeing as my favourite Oakville coffee shop (Kafene) closed for good, I need to find a new place to get my caffeine. I remembered going to Croissant Express a little while back for breakfast on a weekend. I also remember trying to visit Croissant Express on a weekday before work and seeing that it had not yet opened. In my drowsy state, I actually missed a couple turns and ended up on good ol' Lakeshore Road downtown Oakville. When I passed by C.E. (on the east end of the downtown zone) I noticed the door was open! There was a parking spot at the end of the row just past the café (no need to parallel park!) so I figured I had nothing to lose. They were barely open. Like their shelves were bare. I guess it was a little early for them and he assured all of us that there were lots more to choose from in the back. A group of 3 was there for a leisurely breakfast and snuck in before me. I was worried I'd be late for work, but the kind gentleman took my order at the same time, and when he found out it was 'to go' got it out to me very quickly. I love my croissants, when done right. I've had a perfect croissant at C.E. before, but not today. My almond croissant was a little squished, so it already wasn't pretty. The almond filling wasn't distributed evenly and a portion of it was slightly burnt! My large coffee (comparable to a Starbucks grande) rang in at $2.00 and was just okay. Not memorable. I was impressed when the staff did not hesitate to prepare a batch of decaf to fulfill someone else's order. He let the gentleman know it would take a while, but insisted he would do it right away, and did. Great service! This place was a-okay, but won't be my replacement for Kafene. The search continues. read more

This place was much better when the old lady was running the place years ago! Plain croissants were nothing to write home about but the chocolate croissant was really good. Free parking before 9am or after 6pm. read more

I have been here a few times and have always left happy. Where they lose marks is the fact that they are probably the most expensive coffee shop on the Oakville strip. That being said I like the outdoor summer seating option, the high top tables at the window as well as the option to grab some fresh bread with your coffee. It's definitely worth a try... While you are there I recommend the bacon,eggs and croissant with a coffee. read more

My go to coffee/snack shop. The coffee isn't the best in the area, but it's $2 for a large. You can get a coffee and a great snack for the price of just a coffee elsewhere! Friendly staff, good selection, good prices. What more could you ask for? read more

food is on the pricey side but their desserts are the thing you can go for! I ordered the Nutella croissant and it was soooooooo good! I am definitely coming back for their croissants and other desserts. drinks are alright but I've seen and had better drinks with their price. one thing I like about the drinks there is that you can make your own drink because they leave the syrup at the counter so you can pump it in your drink rather than having a barista do it for you. read more

I love Croissant Express Bakery and I've been a fan for ages now. I like supporting a local business rather than purchasing from the big chain cafe's down the road. Food is always tasty and I recommend trying their chocolate croissants, though last week I purchased one and was stunned to find that I was charged $3.99 for ONE chocolate croissant. This is extremely steep in my opinion, so I'll probably be visiting a less frequently. read more

Kinda pricey! But I guess it's to be expected in this particular location. The croissants and incredibly delicious and on par the beauties found in Montreal's top croissanteries. I would say they are the best in the GTA! The coffee and breakfast are very good as well, but wished the portions were a bit bigger for the price you're paying. read more

Outstanding choice for breakfast goodies. Everything from the latte, cinnamon bun to the service was top notch!

Back to town from a long trip to Europe and surprised to find the changes that have happened at the Croissant Express Bakery. The bakery has transformed to the most beautiful cafe/bakery in the west side of town or maybe the GTA. Food and the baked goods are amazing. Me and my girlfriend were so impressed by the effort that the team puts forth to make your visit pleasant. I can't wait till we go back again. Delicious, beautiful and well put together. Highly recommend it. read more

This is a go to spot and institution in oakville. They have so many delicious treats and bakery options it's the best of it's kind in this neck of the woods. Coffee brew is average but specialty drinks are quite good. It's a must try whenever walking around dT oaks for sure. I find it's more of a grab and go spot because the inside is super tiny but it's the cosiest place. read more

Delicious croissants!! Good coffee too. You can also order off a small menu and eat in.

There aren't a lot of decent croissant option's in GTA. So by Toronto standards this is a decent place. Which isn't saying a lot. But if you are craving for a TEMPORARY substitute for a Vancouver or Montreal croissant then this is a good option. read more

The Croissants were very francais. But I'm a man who likes to sit down at a bakery with my two kids and talk. However, I found that the croissants here came to me too fast. I was not looking for a fast food experience here, I was looking for a quality dining experience. Would be more stars if the croissants were less "express" read more

I love the place for it's croissants. Incredible pistachio and almond croissant, apt sweetness. Please do try.
