After an aggressively satisfying dinner (and a couple of drinks), we needed a reset. You know the feeling--too many carbs, suddenly fighting for your life, and the only solution is caffeine. We wandered just off the main downtown strip and stumbled into this little gem. Immediate warm welcome, which I always appreciate, especially when I'm in a post-meal haze. Then I saw the pastry case... and wow. It was one of those moments where you genuinely consider making poor financial and dietary decisions just to try everything. The croissants alone? Massive. I'm talking oversized, beautifully layered, stuffed with different fillings and topped like they're competing for a prize. A younger, more reckless version of me would've ordered at least three without hesitation. My only "complaint" (if you can call it that) is that everything is so big. I wish they had mini versions--like a tasting lineup--because I wanted to try everything but also didn't want to commit to a full-size pastry I knew I couldn't finish. Shoutout to the people who can, though. I respect you. I kept it simple with a cappuccino plus an extra shot (non-negotiable at that point), and it was exactly what I needed. Bonus points for the service--they actually brought it out to the table, which felt like a small but appreciated touch. They've got both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can vibe however you're feeling. Overall, a perfect little stop to recharge and pretend you didn't just eat your body weight in carbs. read more

A charming place! The staff are absolute sweethearts, always ready to help -- whether it's with choosing something from the menu or tidying up the outdoor patio seating. I ordered coffee both to go and to drink at the café but for some reason, it tasted much better when I had it there than when I took it to go. As for the food, it's simply mouthwatering. Whether in the morning or right before closing, the pastries are equally fresh and delicious. (I didn't get a chance to try the cakes, but they were all beautifully decorated.) I bought croissants right before closing to have for breakfast on my flight the next day -- and I was so glad I did, because they were absolutely fantastic! read more

This is truly the best French cafe & bakery in CFL! Everything is fresh to order and tastes delicious. A nice change of pace from all those fast food places. Tasty food and great service! I love the apple turnovers and fruit pastries! I recommend them to anyone! read more

Found this place while strolling. I wanted to keep things simple and try the plain croissant and a raisin roll. The plain croissant was perfect! Buttery, Flaky and reminded me of the croissants in Paris. The raisin roll had the perfect amount of sweetness and raisins. Also 10/10 The service was friendly, there was only 1 young lady assisting everyone. Could be because it was a Sunday evening. The ambiance was somewhat quiet. read more

Gorgeous pastries!!! I got a surprise bag from Too Good to Go and it was spectacular. I'll definitely be going back. The team was really friendly when I picked up. I was worried about parking, but it turned out to be just fine. I'd imagine it's a different story on weekends though! I took my order to go, but there's loads of street seating a a few inside spots to post up. I can just see myself working away at one of the outside tables with coffee and a delicious breakfast. read more

Another pretty good bakery in winter park. Loved this donut and the chocolate twist at the bottom, the fruit pastries were not my favorite. This place is beautiful inside. Very well maintained, super clean. They have a glass wall and you can see them working. I thought that was pretty cool. Haven't had their drinks but I need to come back for one because they looked pretty good just didn't have much time. Service was okay. read more

I am a sucker for a good croissant. It's probably in my top three favorite breakfast item and favorite bakery item. I think the croissant here is one of the best, if not the best, I've had in as long as I can even remember. I am still thinking about that perfect buttery, flaky bite. I had them warm it up a bit, and it was a game changer. It just melted in my mouth and had everything I want in a croissant. I also ordered an almond croissant. This one was a bit different in that it wasn't just frangipane on the inside. They combined it with a pastry cream, so it had a more luscious and smooth interior. I liked the flavor and texture, but it was a bit sweet for me. My son devoured it though! I can't attest to anything else on the menu since I ordered just the croissants for take-out. Service was quick and the two working the counter were very friendly. I wish this was a lot closer to me because I would definitely be a regular. Whenever I'm in the area I will definitely be stopping by. read more

I really wanted to love Croissant Gourmet, but I don't think the prices are commensurate to the quality. The latte was not good at all and was way too milky. The server was kind enough to add an extra shot to it after letting me know their latte only comes with one shot of espresso. However, it still was pretty poor quality after the extra shot. The egg and cheese croissant was good enough and came with a small side salad. But for over $15 for it, I don't think it's worth the price, and I probably won't be back. read more

Croissant Gourmet was a treat for brunch from my daughter one Sunday we were in Winter Park. The croissants are fresh, flaky, and full of flavor. I got the one with the different breakfast meats and cheddar cheese. The staff was warm and welcoming even dealing with the morning crowds. It also seems the perfect spot for a quick breakfast or an afternoon pick me up. It is a little on the pricey side but worth it. I'll be back! read more

What a great coffee and breakfast shop at a very fun downtown Winter Park area! This French cafe/bakery was our favorite morning stop for a latte, pastry and breakfast sandwich. They have croissant breakfast sandwiches that are freshly cooked and large! I am usually a two breakfast sandwich guy, but just one from here absolutely hit the spot. The croissants are soft and flaky, just like they are meant to be! They also have a lunch and kids menu, but we were only here for breakfast. Croissant Gourmet is the perfect stop for breakfast or to grab a coffee and a snack to stroll. Next time we are visiting Winter Park, we will be back! read more

The service was really great! You place your order at the cashier and they give you a number to take to your table. The servers were very nice and helpful. It's a very casual breakfast place but you can tell it is loved by the locals. The croissant sandwiches are really big, i did not expect that. They are also delicious! Highly recommend this place! read more

If I'm craving an almond croissant, Croissant Gourmet is always the place I know I'll need to go. When trying an almond croissant for the first time here years back, the staff told me that the secret to making it extra tasty is to have it heated up and they were right, there's nothing like the flaky croissant with crispy edges and a warm almond filling throughout. Croissant Gourmet is a peaceful place to enjoy some peaceful moments with a book and a treat or alongside a friend with great conversation alongside their huge wall of windows (or sitting outside when the weather is nice!) - definitely worth checking out. read more

Sad to say they have a beautiful display, but the flavor wasn't there. I ordered a traditional eclair to go. We got ask the way home, about 30 minutes, and I bit into it only to find out it was frozen! Not fresh. Also, they use to make an egg soufflé which was delicious. They told me they changed the recipe but I tried the new ham and cheese option. It was terrible. The entire center was the taste and texture of béchamel sauce. read more

My perfect coffee scenario? Meinl coffee (renowned Austrian coffee distributor), a perfect croissant, good service, and sitting under an awning close to Park Ave which gives the European flair and ambience. Croissant Gourmet meets all of that. I also like their new location on N Orange Ave. read more

We were having dinner in Winter Park and planned on stopping by the bakery to pick up some pastries for a brunch we were attending the next day. They were supposed to be open until 9pm as it said on the door and on Yelp. We opened the door to enter the bakery at 8pm and the 2 young girls behind the counter looked us and said: "We're closed". Not, "sorry we're closed"..... just "We're closed". So, we turned around and left. We will not be using this bakery again. read more

Croissant Gourmet has amazing pastries and coffee. The vibes are very mellow and is located in the beautiful park avenue. I had decided to enjoy my coffee and croissant (which was FANTASTIC) inside the cafe while doing class work. My one complaint is the actions of the staff. I hadn't been greeted when walking in and when I finally was addressed I felt almost as though I was interrupting the employees conversation. Aware that I may have been over-analyzing the encounter, I let it be. However, as I was sitting in the cafe - being the only patron inside- I had to listen to the young employees complain about the conversations they had with the day's customers. I felt like a total bother just being there, which really stinks bc this place has such potential. read more

I decided to visit randomly on my way to car, and am SO glad I did! They had a full selection of pastries available, along with the chia oat pudding that I ultimately selected. While there's no coffee menu available, the employees are happy to tell you what drinks can be made - I got an iced maple latte with oat milk which was delicious. Service was also perfect - both employees I spoke to were so fun to talk to, I actually bonded with one over her tattoo of a Taylor Swift lyric! Ambiance is not overly cozy with minimal decor, but that's also how I knew the food and drinks were going to be good. read more

Spontaneously walked into this cute little bakery and wasn't disappointed! Very chill vibes inside. My husband and I both ordered an iced latte with a double shot of espresso and they were great! I got vanilla and he got hazelnut. They were sweet but you could still really taste the espresso flavor coming through which was wonderful. We also ordered a key lime pie. I will say, it doesn't look like a traditional key lime pie but it had all the elements of one! I'd actually prefer this over an original pie. It had a delicious meringue whip on the top with a little piece of dark chocolate, and then the "key lime" part was amazing!! It was fluffy and super tart. The bottom piece was a very crumbly graham cracker of sorts. It was so good. The perfect amount of tartness, sweetness and crunch! The pie was definitely the star of the show. Our lattes and pie were also out super quick. Definitely will be retuning! read more

Food pastries looks and taste good. Service is ok, ambiance is casual and small inside.

We were passing by this place after church one Sunday and decided to pop in for lunch. It's a tight squeeze as you stand in line to order, but there are a few tables inside and more on the sidewalk outside under the awning. The food was pretty good, although very expensive. 2 croissant sandwiches, a side of potatoes, and a drink cost us almost $50. The sandwiches were very good and the potatoes weren't bad, but the iced tea I got was flavorless. It all could've been excellent and I still don't think it should've cost that much, especially for a quick service spot. read more

We ordered a "Too Good to Go" box from croissant gourmet earlier in the weekend. We were provided an entire French pastry/cake. It was delicious and includes flavors of passion fruit and chocolate.

I would like to visit again to order off the menu. read more

My friend and I wanted to try a something new so we decided to go to Croissant Gourmet. We've walked by this place a million times and never noticed it because it's on a side street of Morse off of Park Ave. It's a cute little croissant shop with pastries and hot breakfast items as well. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. You place your order at the counter and then someone will bring it to your table. We ordered the Salted Caramel Cappuccino and it was delicious, literally a hug in a mug. The croissants were warm and flaky but the chocolate one was our favorite. We ordered the American Breakfast and it was good, I just wish they would've cooked the bacon a little more. The French Toast was good too it was nice and light. This meal was very satisfying and didn't make you feel overstuffed. Everything pictured was shared between 2 people. The staff was very tentative with taking plates away, cleaning our area, and asking if we needed anything. I can't wait to comeback and try some more of their beautiful pastries. read more

The server was outstanding very nice helpful. I was a little bit disappointed when I went to order a crêpe with Nutella strawberry and banana, but they told me they only have banana at the other location, but either way the strawberry Nutella crêpe was outstanding. Only recommendation I would have is maybe try to get banana at this location as well. Besides that, this crêpe was outstanding. I'm a crepe enthusiast, so I eat a lot of crêpes, and I love this one. The whipped cream on the side was wonderful as well. My boyfriend got a coffee. His coffee was great. I would 100% return. AWESOME. The restaurant itself was very nice.

I have yet to be disappointed by anything from Croissant Gourmet and I'm surprised I haven't left a review yet, so this is a bit overdue. The flavor and quality of everything I've ordered here has been 5-stars every time. I love the crepes, croissants (chocolate is my favorite) and the Parisian panini sandwich and recently discovered the delectable ham & Swiss croissant... wow I WILL be coming back for it but living through my pictures of it for now. The coffees and espressos have always been fabulous although recently I've been enjoying the hazelnut latte with oatmilk... yum! Treat yourself to a pastry to go!! The staff have always been helpful and tentative and the establishment always presents itself as clean and inviting. The reason for -1 star is the lack of price transparency. I always feel like it's a gamble with my orders as there isn't any clearly labeled pricing on anything and I find it frustrating, not cool to find out after ordering that my lunch is nearly 30$... anyway, I really enjoy everything I have here but they could be more price-transparent. Another review said it is on their paper menu but it really should be on the board as well. read more

This is acute little bistro in down town winter park. It has very limited seating inside and some cute outside tables. The service was friendly and quick. They primarily serve coffee and pastry but do have a small selection of sandwiches. I made the mistake of thinking that they would have breads for sale as well. Out of all the tings I got, the bread pudding is by far the best. Some oth the other items I got were a bit too sweet for me. It is a cute spot to stop if you are in Winterpark. read more

Small, quaint cafe just off Park street. Simple cozy decor with Sinatra era type music playing in the background. Limited indoor seating, but several outdoor sidewalk tables. Nice, friendly service. The food was good but I thought a bit pricey. I had the moulin rouge - smoked salmon, mushroom, spinach, Swiss cheese crepe. I thought it good, but tough at ~$17. I also had a large latte. It too was good, but just a tad bitter. The best was the Apple strudel. Very tasty flaky croissant with apple, currant, and nut filling. read more

Came here early in the morning and was not disappointed! Everything looked delicious and inside smelled so good! There are lots of seats outside to sit and enjoy your food too. I didn't like how their prices were not listed on the menu inside - I had to ask for a paper menu to see the cost. The croissants are huge and around $4-5. I had an almond croissant and it was delicious! They heat it up for you too. The croissant sandwiches were pretty expensive at around $13+. read more

Bailey and I stopped here for an iced latte and a croissant during our walk in town. They have outdoor seating which means I can have Bailey with me. They brought him out a bowl of water which is a star in my book! The latte was great and they have oat milk. The croissant was good but I asked for it warmed and it came out cold. Not sure if they can't warm them or they just forgot but it would have been better warm. I haven't had their cooked food so reserving a star for coming back to try it. I'd definitely recommend it for folks coming into town. read more
