We decided on croissants after an early morning appointment and as we have tried most of the French cafes in the area, we realized there was one we hadn't yet tried - Croissant Gourmet. I don't know how we missed this one. We both opted for the large plain croissant which was one of the best we've had. You order at the counter and your order is delivered to your table, either inside or outside. We decided to eat on the spacious outside patio on this nice spring morning, but the inside is also very nice. I'm sorry I didn't take any photos of their display of beautiful pastries, but we will be returning shortly and I won't forget the photos. You will enjoy the pastries, coffees and the friendly service. read more

This review is for the newer location that's on N Orange ave. In appearance its beautiful, and elegant but there is just something about the other location that has a charm this one is lacking. I think it's because of the overall ambiance of where the other location is situated. The cobblestone streets, the outdoor seating and trees surrounding it make you feel as if you really are in Europe, but enough about that; how was the food you ask? Usually when I go to croissant gourmet I always get their.... You guessed it, their croissants. I will admit that both CG bakeries are probably the only places where you will get a decent croissant in Orlando. That being said, I rarely stray from getting one when I do visit, but I was really curious about their crepes, and I love them so... I ordered the one that had the smoked salmon, goat cheese and spinach, it came with a side salad, it was around $17 if I remember correctly. Immediately I noticed that the crepe is thicker, and in taste more eggy. I don't know if that's done on purpose but it's not what I'm use to in a crepe and in all honesty, I probably will stick to just croissants in the future with them. Despite the fat n eggy crepe, we all loved our meals. We took one of their guava and cheese stuffed croissants home and shared it later in the day after dinner. Man.... they should take that guava and cheese croissant over to France, it'll blow their minds!! Also, their drip coffee is great. I drank a large cup black faster than I care to admit. Staff here was just like the other location, very kind and obliging. read more

Wow, I can't believe this was my first time here! I drive by this location all the time and decided to stop in on whim for a solo breakfast one day. The interior is gorgeous and the pastry display case was fully stocked when I arrived. I was impressed by the variety of croissants and sweet treats they had, and everything looked delish. I was more in the mood for something savory, so decided to order one of their croissant breakfast sandwiches. I placed my order with the kind gals at the counter and they gave me a number. I decided to go with with Chef's Signature which is a ham & brie cheese omelet on a plain croissant. It also comes with a side of mixed fruit. To be honest, I was pretty underwhelmed by the sandwich. There was not much flavor at all and the ham inside was kind of wet which also made the texture weird. Maybe this signature French dish just isn't my thing, but I wouldn't get that one again. I don't doubt that they have plenty of other delicious items on their menu and I'd definitely visit again. I capped it off with an affogato which was perfection. read more

Stumbled upon this bakery on the Too Good to Go app, and I was so delighted I did! The cafe inside is very nice; with ample seating available. My pickup process was smooth. In my box, I got their blueberry croissant, chocolate croissant and the chocolate roll twist. My favorite was the blueberry croissant, the filling was perfect! I am looking forward to trying their savory items next time read more

Cute place in park ave. Very friendly wait staff and service was quick. They have a large showcase of desserts which looked amazing, but was more in the mood for something savory so I got one of their breakfasts croissants with egg, mushroom and bacon which came with a side salad. It was good overall, but I was expecting crispy bacon and the bacon was kind of soggy which was kind of off putting. My friend got the same thing but with ham instead and I think hers was the better option. Still want to come back and try the desserts. They have outside seating as well read more

The staff is very welcoming, the interior is well thought out and beautifully decorated. There's a glass wall separating the bakery and the dining room room so you can see where all of the magic happens. The food is displayed beautifully, as the first food stylist had arrived in the morning and perfectly placed everything, it was such a pleasure to see, especially if you are one for aesthetics! Food was delicious and staff was very flexible. My partner had the avocado toast with a fried egg on top as they were out of poached eggs. I had a croissant with an egg omelette with cheddar cheese and mushroom, the omelette was beautifully cooked, the croissant tasted raw and upon closer inspection, it appeared to be as well, I consulted staff about this, and they advised me the croissants appear this way and become this consistency because of the omelette - not something I've ever experienced before and have had many croissants in this style; but luckily the service was great and they swapped the croissant out for a new one and toasted it and served my omelette on the . For our toddler, we ordered a side of eggs as we were forewarn. The kids meal was quite large. And the side of eggs was absolutely perfect for him. We definitely will return, I'm keen to try the eclairs and macaroons! read more

I was driving home from Orlando and decided to stop in Winter Park on the way. It is a very charming little town with an ideal downtown area around Park Avenue. There are many restaurants and stores along that street and a few side streets. I decided to try this place for breakfast. They have several breakfast croissants as well as many beautiful looking pastries. I opted for the breakfast croissant that had eggs, ham and cheddar cheese on it. It was delicious. It also came with a small fruit cup, which was also delicious. I also ordered a cappuccino. Service was quick from Jose. read more

This place is cute, good presentation of the food, and a nice concept. However I have been twice now and to be honest I feel like they are lacking in quality ingredients. We spent over $60 for two people for breakfast and I feel for the price the ingredients didn't match up. Hope they can improve that. read more

Love this location! The inside is beautiful and clean with lots of windows, outdoor seating is spacious and nicely tucked away from the main road, can't go wrong sitting either inside or outside.

The best by far! In-house made breads, pastries, and treats all designed perfectly and the taste does not disappoint. The atmosphere is clean and takes you away from home into a French environment that you can love. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I cannot wait to return to try all of their other delicious treats. I had a croissant omelette sandwich and a fruit tart along with an iced coffee. Everything was delicious. Customer service was attentive and friendly. read more

I finally got to check out the new Croissant Gourmet location in Winter Park. It's such a cute spot, definitely more spacious than the original Park Ave. location, which is a big plus if you're meeting up with friends. There's on-site parking (huge win), and the interior has a sleek, modern vibe with a nice open view of the kitchen. It feels bright and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed breakfast. I ordered the eggs benedict (with an add-on of smoked salmon), and my friend had the croissant with eggs and ham--both were delicious. We also split a Nutella crepe, and wow... so good! This place was the perfect spot to meet up, grab a bite, and catch up on life. Definitely recommend for your next breakfast or brunch outing in Winter Park! read more

I tried a berry cheese danish. The flavor was saved by fresh berries, but the cheese part under was gritty and lacked the rich cheese flavor that even prepackaged danishes have. It was also wet and loose which made the pastry soggy. My friend ordered a meat soufle which had a decent creamy and savory flavor, however was much too salty. Also, the meat seemed to be only bacon. If it were some sort of sausage or ground meat with a thicker filling (again, this mixture was very loose) like a pot pie, then it would be worth trying again. Overall it was not reminiscent of a Parisian Boulangerie and the prices were a little jarring read more

The place is absolutely stunning inside. Everything looks delicious. They have an area where you can see the people in the back baking. I have not had their drinks yet but all the sweets I have tried from this place have been amazing. This time I placed an order using the too good to go app since I saw it was available and I have been before so I knew it would be good but I was not expecting a full box for $5! The donut was heavenly!! read more

Highly recommend the cookies, light and buttery and not too sweet. They have a homemade graham cracker that is particularly delicious! Also very important to note is their bread pudding... wow. I was pleasantly surprised to see that their version includes chocolate chips and while it seems a little dense at first (I took it home) once I popped it into the microwave for about 45 seconds it was delightfully light and very filling. Feel free to share but you'll probably want to keep it all to yourself. Next up I want to try some of their sandwiches and soups, looking forward to another visit! read more

We've been to Croissant Gourmet a number of times now and it's one of our favorite places to go for lunch. Even in the summer, it can be really hot out, but the shade they have allows you to have a little bit of outdoors air without melting too much in the heat. One of my favorite things to get is the chicken salad sandwich with a side salad it's truly my favorite thing to get there, though there are many great things on the menu, both sweet and savory. The people there are always so friendly and we love bringing family and friends there who've never been. For some reason, we found this to be a much more pleasant experience than the location that is just off Park Avenue. Perhaps it is the space or the popularity but the service, the food and the environment are much more pleasant at this on Orange Ave. Definitely check it out when you get a chance! read more

I went there for the croissant. It is good, but nothing amazing. The chocolate mousse thou, was superb. We tried the regular croissant (which was ok), the hazelnut one (was good, but got soggy), I also ordered the croque monsieur, thinking that was a twist with a croissant instead of the bread, and I got frustrated when it came just the regular, I explained to the server about it, and she said that this was what I ordered and done. Ok. It was very good, I just got expecting the croissant on it. read more

I have always loved their location off Park Avenue but I try to avoid Park Avenue now unless I have a specific store I need to go to, it's always so crowded now. This new location is wonderful. It's bright and spacious with lovely outside seating away from the street. You can watch them make the pastries through the large glass windows. Same quality pastries but they've also included fresh breads including sourdough at reasonable price. I think I'll get to go more often to this new location. read more

I have always wanted to try the one on Morse Avenue but never got around to it. Recently we were in the area and stopped at Mama Napoli for bread then decided we were so close we would try CG. The parking lot is huge though to exit from the rear you have to traverse some not so great roads. I am sure this will be addressed in the future. Nonetheless, The ambiance is bright,clean and welcoming inside with nice outdoor seating also. There is an amazing amount of romm inside and out. There are sweet and savory items but we opted for sweet to try the first time. Both pastries were excellent with flaky dough and just enough sweetness. The variety is excellent with much to choose from, regardless of your preferences. The size of the items is proportionate to the price so you get what you pay for and I do not mind paying more for quality. The servers and service was excellent despite how busy the location was. I could see the employees pitching in to help each other. The kitchen is not open but see-through so you can see the products being made fresh. Overall, a nice addition to the area as we will revisit when we are in the area again. read more

it's a very beautiful clean spot with a nice Parisian music. The croissants are excellent. We enjoy the the one filled with cream. I hung out with my daughter and they also serve sandwiches and they have wine. A great little I'm easy to get to spot in the middle of Winter Park. read more

Hate the inconsistency! One day the croissant is flaky and then on another day mushy croissant. The decor is nice but they need to make sure the food they serve is fresh. My husband and I were disappointed. read more

Croissant Gourmet - Inside the restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Long overdue review for this bakery location since I have been here more than 10 times since it opened. Food: I have tried a lot of the bakery items such as carrot cake, monkey bread, apple turnover, croissants, apple tart, bread pudding, chocolate crossaints, etc. one thing I can tell you.... They really focused on quality and balancing their flavors. I usually find pastries very sweet or overpowering. But Crossaint gourmet has done such a good job in creating a light sweet balancing pastries throughout each item and it is consistent. For example: they have one of the best carrot cakes with a light sweet balancing cream and carrot w/ the cake part being a little salty to counter the flavor with the walnut. Literally they have the best carrot in Orlando so far. I have tried them all from glass knife, Gideon, sister honey, charlies, Publix , Whole Foods, etc. The monkey bread is done similar where the honey keeps the top part of the cake and the bottom is a dry cinnamon bread layer. Combined together it goes so well with a cup of coffee. In addition, I love their apple turn over because it is so crunchy with a mouth full of apple filling in it; especially when it is warm. I do wish it was a bigger pastries haha The prices for this pastries are on the higher side but not as expensive as glass knife or other bakeries and restaurants. Definitely worth the cost. 5/5 Service: very helpful and super attentive. They clean up their patio fast and it prevents flies flying around. Furthermore, I love when they bring your latte to you if you drink there, they give a small Madeline to go with it. Even though it is tiny, the detail and effort plays a crucial impact to the experience. It makes the experience better. 5/5 Atmosphere: great atmosphere especially for a date or to come read a book. They are trying to regret a chill casual Parisian atmosphere coffee shop with the music and vibe. I wish they can put up a fake wall outside to hear less of the cars driving around. 4.5/5 Overall this place is awesome. Plenty of parking and everything. Definitely worth checking out just based on their quality of their pastries read more

They have another location in downtown Winter Park but I like the ambiance at the Orange Ave location better. Inside seating can be a challenge during busy times, which is only a concern during bad weather. Otherwise, outside seating is shaded and lovely. I've had the chicken salad croissant and blueberry almond croissant- both flaky and delicious. The lattes are wonderful in depth and flavor. And the staff are genuinely nice. Croissant Gourmet is such a pretty little escape! read more

Great Service good croissants! Quaint location in WP with amble parking. Both indoor & outdoor dining

I actually dream about their croissants- they are that good. The chocolate is my favorite, but all the others I have tried are wonderful as well read more

The person who posted about the treat that had berries on it that was displeased, I had actually different experience. It wasn't too sweet and the cream in the middle was perfection. The coffee was strong how I like it. The omelet croissant was amazing as well. The staff was eager to please. This will be my go to spot! Can't wait to try the other goodies. read more

Charming little bistro. Fresh food. Beautiful pastries, yummy soups and sandwiches, etc. Free parking.

They use flour from France! Seemed to be good quality - tasted amazing! The staff were nice and it's a cute ambiance.

Had a delicious chocolate pumpkin bread and croissant while watching my kid's baseball game... the croissant rivaled anything I've had in Paris. Cute place, friendly staff! read more

Please correct address. Also please bring coffee special Tuesday to this location. Many loyal customers enjoy this. And please please put the sugar and stir sticks on the customer side. Having to ask each time for stir sticks and such is a major pain in the rear. Love you guys. Why would you change these silly things for this amazing location. read more

Best Croissant and French bread I had in the Orlando area. Service is self order and ambiance is really French. Lol. We loved it!

My fourth time coming here... everything is absolutely amazing! From the staff, the decor, the nice outdoor eating area and don't even get me started on the food. The croissants are so lightly, fluffy and soft I want to make a pillow out of them and have the best sleep of my life. Absolutely everything is great! This is honestly such a great spot! If you have been curious about coming here, I wouldn't recommend walking here.. I would run! read more

Have been to this location a couple of times both to eat in and for pick up. Delicious croissants! Both hubby and I loved the BLT. Clean, comfortable, it smells amazing, the inside chairs are comfy, and there's a cool vibe. We''ll be back for sure. read more
