Quick answer
If you want a rich, nutty flavor with a chocolate kick, order the Chocolate Almond Croissant. If you prefer a lighter, buttery pastry to pair with jam or coffee, stick with a plain croissant.
What's inside matters
The Chocolate Almond Croissant from Kneads • Bakery • Café • Mill is filled with chocolate and almond paste, giving it a dense, sweet center. A plain croissant relies solely on layers of butter and dough for its flavor and texture. Your choice depends on whether you want a built-in filling or a blank canvas.
Occasion and serving
Chocolate almond croissants are often served as a dessert or a special breakfast treat. Plain croissants shine alongside savory items like eggs or as a base for sandwiches. For a Mother's Day gift or pastry box, the chocolate almond variety adds a festive touch.
