Award-winning bakery for croissants, kouign amann, & French pastries
"At long last the Nicaraguan-French croissants wizards at Arsicault have a third location. One might say “at long last” as the line at the original Arguello Boulevard bakery is unreasonably long. While frangipane croissants and baguettes flow easily at the second Civic Center spot, only this newest outpost boasts views of Oracle Park alongside the phenomenal pastries." - Eater Staff
"Bon Appetit gave Armando Lacayo’s temple to pastry Ariscault Best New Bakery in 2016 and in 2019 he decided to expand into the United Nations Plaza. The shop reopened in July of 2021 and features indoor and outdoor seating, with daytime security personnel. Oakland’s Mr. Espresso is the shop’s dark roast balance to the sweet decadence of raisin kouigns and not-too-buttery croissants." - Paolo Bicchieri
"A short, enthusiastic note about the chocolate croissant: it’s “fluffy, delicious, and crunchy” with hot, melted chocolate inside. The pastry smells fresh from the oven, sometimes slightly salty when extremely fresh, and staff are described as nice and the interior warm. The reviewer also mentions other croissant varieties (ham and cheese, strawberry jam) and suggests bringing friends or family." - Dianne de Guzman
"Arsicault Bakery is famous for its croissants and will be located at Mission Rock." - Lauren Saria
"Arsicault Bakery is one of the city’s most popular croissant destinations and is among the first new tenants of the massive Mission Rock development." - Dianne de Guzman
