The Best Croissants in Texas
Discover > Best Of Texas > The Best Croissants in Texas
If you ask me, every kind of French pastry deserves its own holiday. But if any snack warrants a National Day named after it, it has to be the croissant! A scrumptious treat made of buttery, flaky goodness, baked to airy perfection? Sign me up for life, please. Whether you enjoy them plain or with a delicious filling, croissants (how long do croissants last?) are versatile little viennoiseries that are equally as great for breakfast as they are as coffee-time snacks. So, this National Croissant Day, it’s only fair that we brought you a handy little list of the best croissants in Texas, no? Read on, while I go and perfect my krwah-sahn pronunciation!
Mademoiselle Louise
1725 Main St. #1, Houston,
TX 77002
This downtown bakery offers a host of delicious croissants and other baked goods, prepared authentically with high-quality ingredients. Chef-owner Federick Fortin comes from a lineage of pastry makers in Normandy, so you know your croissants are going to be as close as possible to their French counterparts.

Easy Tiger (North Austin- The Linc)
6406 N Interstate 35 Frontage Rd suite 1100, Austin, TX 78752, USA
Unapologetically dark, with slightly burned ends. That’s the signature croissant here at Easy Tiger, a haven for people looking to have a relaxed time with some beer and bread! David Norman’s bien cuit, or well-cooked croissants, come out of the ovens looking picture-perfect. Flaky with dozens of layers, buttery with just the right amount of sweetness. You’ll be spoiled for flavorsome croissants is all we can say!
La Casita Bakeshop
580 W. Arapaho Rd. Ste. 230
Richardson, TX 75080
Once Maricsa Trejo’s wholesale operation turned full-time retail last year, there’s been no looking back! Her croissants feature a beautiful honeycomb structure that’s a testament to her perfect baking technique. You will also discover an array of inventive croissants that include Thanksgiving dinner croissants with turkey and cranberry sauce, “everything croissants” with confit garlic, green onions, and cream cheese (how long does cream cheese last?), rosewater coconut cream (how long does coconut cream last?) croissants, baklava croissants, and the list goes on!
