Every time I'm in the OC and I'm looking for a place for a sweet treat, Maison de Croissant was always high up on the suggested search results list. Only recently was I able to visit and try their croffles and other sweets. Did NOT know that this was inside the H Mart food court in Diamond Jamboree. Parking is horrendous and the driving there is horrendous as well. Probably the easiest and least horrifying option just to automatically default to is to just park in the overflow lot right next to the plaza. There's no indicator for the parking garage so on a particularly busy day, you can head all the way to the top, find nothing and navigate through the hell crowds trying to leave. Ambiance is a very casual, counter order business in the food court. There's seating there, but we ate really close by. Definitely something you have to eat immediately or the texture will not be optimal or it might get soggy. We got the tiramisu croffle and they toasted it and put it together for us there. The lady working there packed it up nicely in a to go box and we got some cookies (regular ones and almond crisp ones). It's a bit sweet, but they're dessert pastries so that makes sense. Goes great with a brewed cup of tea. Croffle had a nice semi-chewy texture and the tiramisu flavor added a bit of a coffee taste to it. Good balance of the cream and croffle. The cookie wasn't too bad either. Overall not a bad to go dessert spot. read more

This bakery is located inside the H-mart. In addition to the bakery items, they have a drink menu and fresh taiyaki and croffle also. A croissant for under $3.00 is a good deal. I usually come on weekdays and parking is available. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Stopped by Maisin De Croissant with my girlfriend and several meetup acquaintances for dessert after lunch. She ordered 3 stuffed waffles for us. Nutella, custard, and red beans. All were good, the Nutella was my favorite. Other members had cheesecake and waffles. Everyone enjoyed their sweets . Ordered at the counter and the cashier rang a bell when our orders were ready to pick up. Prices were reasonable. Note that there is a food court inside the H Mart and that's where Maison De Croissant is located, along with several other options. Casual counters with tables arranged in the center of the food court area read more

I'm always in the mood for dessert, so checked out trusty Yelp and discovered I was minutes away from this 5 star bakery. Taiyaki and Croffles made on the spot. Fresh pastries , friendly service, let's keep this mom and pop shop going. They are too far and few between. Oh, and did I mention their namesake "croissant?" Get a lot if you live far, refrigerate and toast with butter...voila! Can't get enough! read more

Following Google Map's directions, I discovered that this is within H Mart. Parking can be a bit of a challenge within this busy center; fortunately, I succeeded to find space convenient to the store's front. For my first croffle experience, I chose their Strawberry Croffle ($6.50). Initially, I'd intended to bring it home to share; however, it was explained to me that it's best within a relatively short period; therefore, wanting to experience it at its freshest (right off the waffle iron), I selfishly decided to find a seat in the neighboring eatery and enjoy my mid-afternoon treat right then and there. I loved the light texture of this warm croissant+waffle, generously topped with a delightfully thick-&-fluffy whipped cream, adorned with beautifully red, tasty strawberry slices (5-stars)! Oh, I think hubby would've so enjoyed this, too! Having their own comfortable seating area, separate from the noisy market would improve my dining experience. Service was appreciatively very pleasant, patient, and helpful. read more

Chocolate dacquoise 4/5 Can taste the almond pieces. I didn't think it was too sweet, but I can see where it may lean a bit sugary. Def hits the chocolate craving as the buttercream is nice and chocolatey. Outside is a teensy crisp with a chewy and less cakey inside. They also had matcha, and maybe strawberry and/or vanilla. Solid for the area! I also got a croffle, but since it wasn't fresh, it def wasn't as good as it was a bit stale. I'd only come here for a fresh croffle! read more

The croffle was ok. It looks better then it taste. As a pastry enthusiast I give this endeavor 3 stars for its attempt. Service is friendly but slow. This establishment is located within H mart and is good stop if your there but don't honor of your way if you're not. read more

Maison De Croissant - Blueberry croffle - 10/10 - Bakeries Near Me - Irvine, California

These pastries are delicious! BUT I found it rather odd that they were served COLD to us. Being skeptical about how they should taste, I did a little digging through reviews here and it sound like they were supposed to be served warm. Ours had definitely been sitting out for awhile... I'm just disappointed we weren't server the correct experience; I can't imagine how insanely delicious they must taste fresh off the waffle maker. The location was empty, we were the only costumers so I don't see why they couldn't have made us some fresh ones, or at least reheated them. Smh. On a positive note, of the two croffles we enjoyed the Carmel one best! read more

Maison De Croissant - Caramel Croffle and Strawberry Croffle - Bakeries Near Me - Irvine, California

This bakery is located inside of the HMart at DJ, towards the right side as you enter through the front. It's a small bake shop, but they've got a lot of really interesting selections. I was craving macarons, so luckily they had some. We ended up getting the 9 piece for about $23. The lady working the register was really sweet and friendly. Of the 9 flavors, most of the ones I got were fruity flavors. The cheesecake flavored ones were probably my favorite, as they had really prominent flavors to them. These macarons were definitely very pretty to look at, but I wish they had a stronger flavor. Some of the shells were brittle and crispy, which isn't ideal on an macaron. I'm glad I got to try them, and know that there's a store inside HMart that carries macarons. read more

Boyf and I came here for dessert after dinner. Parking is a bit hectic for a Saturday night. This place is located inside of H-Mart. We got 3- a strawberry, blueberry, and tiramisu croffle.

Maison De Croissant - 3 for $15.75 - Strawberry Croffle Blueberry Croffle Tiramisu Croffle - Bakeries Near Me - Irvine, California

Was searching on Yelp for any new dessert places and came across Maison De Croissant, located inside of H Mart. Turn quickly to the right once you walk in and you'll immediately be greeted by the displays of desserts and baked goods. Wanted to grab a muffin, but the price was a bit hefty at $4-5 per muffin, so I opted for the croffle instead. Each croffle is advertised as freshly made with a variety of flavors that you can choose from. I chose the caramel, which came with cream, caramel drizzle, and a Biscoff cookie on top. The lady helping me immediately turned on the machine after I ordered, which took awhile to warm up. Even though they had some already made on top of the machine, she made fresh ones for me and the customer after me. Wow, I have to say that I really rented the dessert. It was about $5-6, which wasn't bad at all. The outside was crispy but it the inside was chewy and not too sweet. Eating each warm bite alongside the coldness of the cream provided a great contrast. Was a bit sad that the croffle was finished in a few bites. Highly recommend checking this place out if you love desserts, especially waffles and croissants. They also serve drinks and macarons if you want to grab other items! read more

Maison De Croissant - Tiramisu Croffle - Bakeries Near Me - Irvine, California

Maison de Croissant is located inside of the Hmart and is a small bakery that specializes in their croffles. Parking can get difficult especially on the weekends. Not too impressed by the croffles. It was not warmed up and tasted a little stale- as if it was left out for a day. The red bean topping we got was alright but there was just a stick of butter on top that was rock hard. Not appetizing at all to have to break apart and eat a stick of butter. Our favorite was the blueberry croffle which the cream's consistency was light and airy and it reminded me of a cream cheese/yogurt. I think that if the croffles were fresh and hot that this would've lived up to our expectations but we have definitely had better. Will probably stick to another dessert place if we are in the area. read more

There's no way this place is rated so highly It's hilarious how their entire bakery is basically straight up packaging Costco bakery items and upselling it for outrageous prices. The croffles are also way too expensive - $6.25 for each one after tax. For that price, they better be making the croffles fresh but nope - if you're unlucky, you'll get a crusty pre-made one that's been sitting with the flies for who knows how long. Get your bread next door at 85C and make your croffles at home. read more

A hidden gem inside of Hmart. These croffles are delicious! Warm and crispy on the outside and soft and buttery on the inside. It's not too sweet which means eating the whole thing is no problem. We got the strawberry, chocolate, and tiramisu. We also got the brown sugar oolong milk tea which was made to order. Everything was so yummy. Jenny had a couple of orders ahead of us but made each order with a smile. Parking could be a little tough since the Hmart does get crowded but worth the traffic for this. read more

Madison De Croissant is located in the H Mart in Diamond Jamboree. The service was great and we were able to get 3 fresh croffle (croissant + waffles) within 8 minutes of orderingz the croffles were divine. Just smelling them while we waited was agonizing. The texture is more on the waffle side, with hints of the croissant flavor. The creme is very smooth and not too sweet, which was a concern at first. It's in the H Mart food court so there is plenty of seating around. We took ours home and even with the 20 min drive they were still absolutely delicious! There's plenty of other pastries available and we cannot wait to come back for more! read more

The Croffles are perfectly cooked. It has a slightly crunchy exterior with a fluffy interior despite it being topped with delicious cream and topping. I had the tiramisu croffle and my wife had the blueberry croffle. Both were excellent in their own right, but the tiramisu one had a wonderful coffee flavor the coated every bite. The cream to waffle ratio is perfect and the complement each other without overpowering one another. Best croffle in Irvine. It's in our to-go list and will be back again! read more

I got the tiramisu, chocolate, and strawberry croffle! It's located inside the H-Mart at DJ/ Diamond Jamboree in Irvine!

The strawberry one was my favorite because you can't go wrong with its simplicity, but the others were delicious too! read more

Maison De Croissant - Tiramisu Croffle Chocolate Croffle Strawberry Croffle - Bakeries Near Me - Irvine, California

I was looking for a sweet treat and this popped up. Located inside H Mart made me a bit skeptical but still went in. We got a couple of cronuts, one strawberry and one tiramisu. The strawberry was delicious. Fresh strawberries and a generous portion of whipped cream. My favorite was the tiramisu; fabulous!! There was a subtle caramel taste on the crust and just the right amount of coffee. Not too sweet, but just right. Topped off with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. Both were served hot making it all even better. Though made to order, the wait time was very short. Will come back soon! read more

My friend and I came late one night not knowing they had already closed, but she still made us the croffles even though she could have easily turned us away.

Maison De Croissant - Strawberry croffle - Bakeries Near Me - Irvine, California

Parking: Easy parking at the Hmart plaza. Near/In diamond jamboree, the actual store is inside Hmart. Super skeptical about the reviews, even the displays looked too good to be true. Got the strawberry cream croffle. This is my favourite dessert now and I would definitely just drive down to OC (hour drive w/o traffic) just to get this. I also got a white peach iced tea that also won all the points. Super refreshing so the combo was a flavour explosion in my mouth without being overwhelming in terms of sugar. I couldn't have been happier. The croffle was just the right amount of texture without overpowering the strawberry. I'm not sure if the cream is made in house but the way it melted over the croffle was just perfect. It does take some time for them to make, look around Hmart after you place an order, it takes around 5 minutes. Eat it warm and eat it there or in your car. The worker told us it would get soggy if we stored it for too long. Ugh so delicious. read more

Happened to be in the area and we found this gem. My favorite thing we tried was the waffle croissant with fresh whipped cream and strawberries. It was lite and sweet. I could've eaten two of those. My son tried the one with chocolate whipped cream and Oreos and he said it was also good, not too rich. I didn't enjoy the blueberry whipped cream, the flavor felt fake. I ended up scrapping it off. The line was long when we got there but the lady working was efficient and we got our sweets quickly. As a plus, you can do some grocery shopping at market when you're done with your lovely dessert. read more

This place is tucked away in H Mart in Diamond Jamboree. We were walking around when we spotted this place and decided to try it. There are a ton of options as far as croissant go! I decided to try the strawberry one. It came out extremely quick. After ordering, I received it within 5 minutes. The croissant was not as warm as I expected it to be, but it was perfectly crispy with whipped cream and fresh strawberries on top. It was pretty decently sized for the price. Not that I would go out of my way to come here just to get this, but I would definitely try another one if I was in the area. read more
