Inside
Arthur T.

3.5 rounded up to 4! Been a few times now.. First time, I ordered: salt and butter roll $5 ea salt and butter garlic $5.30 almont croissant $6.30 Definitely a large spread and variety of items. Earlier you go, the higher chance for salt bread, but they do have certain times that they bake it. Why there's a line: they have only one cashier taking everyone's order and they bag the items one by one. Definitely could be more efficient, but is also the appeal to give them a try. Decent amount of seating inside. Parking is relatively available in the lot.

Came by for some dessert the other day and it was a mediocre experience. After spending time in Paris last month, I was surprised that I hadn't run into a Saint Honore at local bakeries. Staff were wearing uniforms matching the bakery colors although the bakery seemed grimey including fog on the mirrors and windows. ...maybe it's cultural? The Saint Honore seems a touch off. The base was a crispy flaky cookie topped with some flavorful whipped cream along with several cream puffs. Pricing was premium at $12.5 for an individual pastry. Packaging was excellent, including a nice paper box along with a paper bag for a single pastry.

Let's start with how to find the place- n the Bank of America plaza. Look for the mustard yellow building next to the Bay Spa and Eye Boutique Optometry Crossiante is open during the following days and times listed on their door: M-Th 7:30-5:30 Fri- Sat 7-6 Though we got there on a Sunday and they were open so yay for us. The sign also says No Cash Accepted, No dogs or pets in other. But of course service dogs are welcomed. The open floor plan makes the place look spacious with about ten small circle tables and two long tables with a small counter space right at the entrance for a single quiet breakfast and large groups as well. It is an open first come first seat set up. Menus are located once you come in for drinks and brunch items. Surely will have to take advantage of their array of brunch items at the next visit. Looks promising. Even the fresh squeezed orange juice looked refreshing. This trip only allowed for pastry grab and go before hopping on the plane. I would've liked the pastries to fit into a box but they came in their own paper sleeves and into the paper bag with handles. Missed the mark there for all that effort. The pastries 1 Croissant 1 Almond Croissant 1 White Sesame & Honey Croissant 1 Matcha Lemon Croissant 1 Matcha Pain Suisse au Chocolat 1 Cube Croissant 1 Salt and Butter Roll 1 Eclair - Mocha Everything was delicious. Can't wait to come back for more

Huge selection

Very aesthetic pastries and a huge selection. Didn't love the classic croissants. The good: - Aesthetic. The branding and packaging is on point. Everything is super cute and coordinated, and pastries are presented beautifully. - Selection. Filled croissants, cubes, loafs, sweet, savory, anything you can think of and a lot you could never dream up - they have it all The not so good: - The setup. The pastry case goes all the way along the line until the cashier, so you have to order your pastries before seeing everything that's available, or you have to squeeze ahead through people to peek at the other pastries which feels flustering. By the time I got to the cashier, additional pastries had come out that I missed out on. - lack of crisp. Classic croissant and pain au chocolat (and every type of viennoiserie I tried) had nice structure, but zero crisp. Everything was just soft on soft. I prefer my croissants to have a bit of crisp on top

Tried a bunch of stuff at Croissante the other day: Kouign Amann, matcha pain suisse au chocolat, chicken spinach & cheese croissant, mango croissant, white chocolate matcha scone, and the chocolate covered salt bread (yeah we went a little overboard lol). Favorite by far was the white chocolate matcha scone. Not too sweet at all which I liked, and you can actually taste the matcha instead of it just being sugary. Would 100% get that again. Mango croissant was prob my second favorite, kinda refreshing in a way I didn't expect from a pastry? Kouign Amann and the matcha pain suisse were solid, nothing crazy but good. Chocolate covered salt bread was interesting... not bad just not something I'd go out of my way for again. Least favorite was the chicken spinach & cheese croissant. Was hoping for a good savory option but the spinach and cheese combo tasted a little off? not sure how to explain it, just kinda funky and didn't sit right with me. Overall pretty mixed but def some standouts. Would come back mainly for that scone tbh.

I should have kept this as a secret, but I'm the one to spread kindness and pay it forward. A few months ago, I had my first bite of an actual croissant while visiting France. Since then, I never looked back after Costco croissants. Im welcoming you to Croissante Bakery! It's located in Santa Clara and I remember going there for their soft opening. I went around 9 am on a weekday and the line was nearly out the door. It smelled so good when I walked in! They have straight up authentic artisanal pastries and breads. Good selection, but limited depending on the time and day. I can confirm they are solid croissants and even if you never been to France, this is the spot to try. *chefs kiss* Now don't be flaky - just go!

garlic salt bread, mixed berry danish, ham and cheese croissant, salt & butter bread, chicken croissant, truffle salt bread
Devonna D.

Loved everything we tried and will be coming back to try more. Croissants were so flaky and crispy! Salt breads are a must get but is best eaten fresh as texture changes after some time Came here on Saturday around 11am and the line was out the door. Waited around 20-30 minutes before we got to choose our pastries. The place is huge with lots of seating, it was busy but we were able to snag a seat of 2. If they are out of a pastry you want to try, you can try asking if it will be available. The ham and cheese croissant wasn't on display when we were picking but they informed us they would be available in the next 5 min and wrote a note on our tray. RATING Truffle salt bread 9.5/10 - my favorite out of everything we got Garlic salt bread 8.5/10 - little sweet for my palate Salt bread 9/10 - simple, great texture ham and cheese croissant 8.5/10 - super mayo-y but delectable chicken croissant 8/10 - great flavor, chicken was a little dry Mixed berry danish 8.5/10 - a LOT of cream to fruit ratio, but delicious nonetheless Mushroom danish 9.5/10 - amazing flavor!!!

I had seen Croissante all over social media and was curious to try it but didn't want to wait in the long line. I went on a Sunday afternoon and waited about 20 minutes. I only ordered pastries as I had lunch elsewhere, but their food looked delicious. I had their Palmi Carre (cookies and cream), double chocolate pain a chocolat, and their French toast half cube? I forgot the name of that one. The pastries were fresh and had a nice crisp to them. My favorite was the palmi. The French toast pastry was crisp on the outside and had a moist interior that's was lovely, I was hoping it had a maple flavor to it but it didn't. There are MANY options to choose from so I will be back to try more. This is now one of my places for French style pastries in the South Bay.

Blueberry hazelnut chocolate croissant
Tina L.

Love how fresh the pastries are and the crispiness. I tried the blueberry hazelnut chocolate croissant and loved the blueberry infused filling with the chocolate. It makes so well together. I've tried the plain croissant before, but was a little bit disappointed but overall, I think it's a really nice sitdown place although the pastries are on the pricier end

Sheila J.

Brunch spot next to Bank of America with lots of pastry options. I didn't realize there was such a large menu. I had to be up early so I beat the line and I think that's why it was so enjoyable. I picked out some croissants sweet and savory and got them to go. The matcha croissant was good. I also got a sandwich on a crunchy baguette roll. They had little cream puffs 5 for $6 that I gave to my family. Overall I would come here again if I can get here early to beat the line and when they come out fresh in the morning, I don't think they would be good late in the day.

Artichoke and cheese pastry, matcha chocolate croissant, almond croissant
Johana P.

Who knew this little spot tucked away on El Camino could be such a gem! I trusted Yelp on this and they did not disappoint. Stopped by in a warm Saturday afternoon and they were constantly stocking up to keep up with the demand. Everything we tried was very tasty and we will absolutely be back! My only feedback is their A/C? It was soo warm inside, it was a bit uncomfortable so we only stayed for a bit.

cube croissant french toast americano strawberry shortcake
Shane C.

We almost skipped this place on our san jose food tour, but it ended up being the SO's favorite spot. Cube croissant french toast - i think the name speaks for itself. the crust/edges were so crispy and crunchy, a nice sweet subtle glaze. I loved the savory+sweet of this pastry. It was not super sweet and paired well with the americano. The strawberry shortcake had a velvety whipped cream with fresh strawberries. The cake was airy and soft. Reminded me of cakes in asia / japan. Its not too sweet so you could prob eat 5 of these without feeling sick. Service was fast and friendly! Great spot inside, its loud and a bit cramped but tons of character!

Blueberry cube (monthly special)
Elodie T.

Update: I came with a group and we got a bigger selection of pastries - raspberry hazelnut pain au chocolat was DELISH and the different salt & butter rolls were a huge hit with the group. I'm still not super impressed with their drinks offerings though. Cappuccino with oat milk tasted diluted (espresso flavor not strong enough).

Do you make gluten-free croissants or do you make croissants with the French flour?

We don’t offer gluten-free croissants, but all of our croissants are made with 100% label rouge (premium) French flour.

Do they use French flour for all their pastries?

Is there a gluten free selection?

No BUT French flour is very different than American and if you are gluten sensitive with American products it doesn't mean that you will necessarily feel the same. I have multiple employees that eat gluten free and they ate croissante pastries… Read more

Do they offer strawberry iced lattes?

Nope! That sounds yummy though!

Do you have free wifi?

Yes, you need the password.

Hello - will your location be open on July 4th Thursday? :)

From my research of their website, they should be open. They even appear to be taking orders online! I hope that helps!

Are any of the breads vegan (no egg, milk, or butter)? I am wondering particularly about the baguette, french country bread, and walnut cranberry country bread

As far as I know, most of their lean breads (like the ones you were questioning) do not contain dairy. I know there are lean breads with a dairy filling or inclusion.

Is there any croissant without eggs?

Unfortunately, all croissants have eggs in them .

Are there still lines first thing in the morning?

Yes I went there even at 930am and there was still a line. I went another day around 2pm and no line outside but still wait inside.

WhatCoffee in Santa Clara was such a good little find…read more I was actually on my way to another coffee shop when this place popped up, and I'm so glad I stopped in. It feels like one of those tucked away neighborhood spots that you almost want to keep to yourself. The inside is bright, open, and spacious, with a really calm and welcoming feel. It's the kind of place that would be perfect for a relaxed coffee break, catching up with someone, or just grabbing something delicious on your way through downtown Santa Clara. I got the iced raspberry matcha latte, a chocolate muffin, a ham and cheese croissant, and the banana chocolate croissant. Everything looked so good that I honestly wanted to order every pastry in the case, but apparently that would've been completely unhealthy or whatever. The pastries looked fresh and beautiful, and it seems like they bake them in house. My son absolutely devoured the chocolate muffin, and I really enjoyed the ham and cheese croissant. It was simple, comforting, and exactly what I wanted. The banana chocolate croissant also looked amazing, and honestly the whole pastry case was tempting. What really stood out though was the service. There was only one person working, but he was so cool, calm, and genuinely pleasant the whole time. I asked him to walk me through the pastries because I wasn't totally sure what each one was, and he patiently explained every single one. Even when a line started to build, he still handled it so well. He acknowledged everyone and let them know he'd be right with them, which makes such a difference. People feel seen, and it shows that he's paying attention instead of just letting everyone stand there awkwardly. They also offer sandwiches, and even though we didn't try them this time, they looked really good from the photos. The price point looked around $17 to $20, but they seem packed and made with higher quality ingredients, so I'd definitely be curious to come back and try one. Overall, WhatCoffee feels like a really solid neighborhood gem. Good drinks, beautiful pastries, friendly service, and a bright welcoming space. We'll definitely be back.

There was some issues with our reservation but the lady who helped us was super nice and was able to resolve the issue. The cat lounge pass comes with a complimentary drink! We got checked in and ordered our drinks before heading to the back where the cats were. We were given shoe covers and an overview of what to expect and what to do/don't with the cats. And before we go in, hand sanitize! I love how the group is limited so it isn't too crowded and the cats do not get overwhelmed. You get a good amount of time with all the cats. All the cats were very friendly and super cute! I had a great time! Drinks: - yakgwa einspanner: the korean cookie cream top was not too sweet and perfect combo with the cold brew. It came with a small yakgwa (korean honey cookie and it was yummy) 8/10 - green grape ade: a little sweet for me, tasted a bit artificial but it is as expected from a sparkling grape soda 6/10 Overall, had a great experience! If you love cats and Korean cafe drinks, this is the spot for you! Would definitely come back! Staff were friendly especially the lady who helped us out!

There is a kiosk for ordering, as well as paper menus on display for you to look at, topped off with what appears to be a photobooth on the side that you can take pictures inside of for fun. I decided to get the Lavendula Latte, which the barista delivered to my table. I had forgotten to adjust the sweetness (though thinking now I can't remember if there was an option for that) but the drink had a nice balance of sweetness. Only complaint I have is that the menus lacks photos (not sure if it's lag or if there genuinely are no photos), but I'd say that the drink looks okay.
