Croissan'Time French Bakery

This was our go-to breakfast take-out place which was very close to our AirBnb during our 3 day weekend trip. Everything was excellent. Pastries were extremely good and not overly sweet, we loved the quiche and my wife loved the coffee. I knew when I walked in the first time and saw the long line that it must be good (the line moves quickly). I struggled a bit with what to order, but the employees behind the counter were top notch and had me set up with the perfect box of breakfast items very quickly.

I’ve been driving 20 miles every other weekend to come here since 2004! Everything is exceptional! If you want to bring a SPECIAL dessert to someone… I recommend their designer cakes, or their miniatures. I come here for their sandwiches too… my favorite is: prosciutto, Brie, lettuce, tomato, balsamic vinegar, and a little mayo on their fresh baguette! And, for dessert, I always get an almond croissant! As far as atmosphere, my husband and I love sitting outside…. I feel I’m in a garden… and if an occasional crumb falls to the ground when my husband‘s not looking, I get visited by little birds. I highly recommend Croissan’Time!

A bit of style over substance; the food looked better than it tasted. The key lime tart was OK, but what shocked us were the almond croissants. They were oddly damp all the way through, as if they had been frozen and microwaved, or stored in plastic while they were still hot and steaming. No flaky, crisp, layers to be found. Given the name of the bakery, we thought the croissants would be at least average, or at least better than what we could purchase from a grocery store. Very disappointing.

Lovely shop with an array of sweets to choose from! I came in search specifically for beignets for a friend. They had a few and she loved them! It was my first time trying one and omg it was delightful! The filling was so good. I will be back to try some food because the smells coming from the bakery’s people were eating was heavenly. I noticed there was a section that looked like a butchers section or maybe a market of some sort where maybe you could buy meats and other assorted items. It’s a neat place! I didn’t like that there was no structure as far as serving customers so things can get out of hand quickly. I was waiting to be served and was skipped over even though I was very clearly in front of the people who the cashier helped next. I do feel he did that intentionally, but I waited patiently anyway for the next cashier to help me as I was on a mission for a friend. Otherwise I would have been OUT OF THERE! The redemption came once I tasted the treats on my way to her house. They were delectable. So I’ll give them another shot and hope the clerks pay attention to the order of the “line”. Really there didn’t seem to be a coherent line. Just patrons here and there so I could see how it might get confusing, but surely you’d think to ask who is next to maintain order. Anywho definitely check this place out. Amazing desserts, clean, can get busy in the morning time so prepare yourself, but well worth the effort!

Yummy croissant with spinach and mushrooms topped with Swiss cheese. So large I couldn't finish it in one sitting. Great looking and tasting pastries. They give you a sugar stick for your coffee. The have a deli department and a great selection of French foods, jams, and treats. I can definitely recommend. I will be back! Staff not so great but, The food was!

I had a very disappointing experience at this bakery. Came in the morning to take some products home including some fresh bread and quiches but unfortunately I found the quality to be below expectations. The products lack freshness and flavor. Service was horrible! The staff were not attentive and their tone was dismissive. Overall a bad attitude, poor customer service and very rude. Honestly, this place doesn’t worth the drive. I won’t be coming back.

Quite simply the best French bakery and market in all of South Florida. I've been going to Croissant Time for over 30 years now, and the consistency is incredible not only within their baked goods and deserts, but with service and ambiance as well. The market aspect of it is small, but has amazing French offerings, and some from other European countries. Also, the best baguette I have ever tasted in my life outside of France. All their bread is amazing. I know I'm gushing over this place in my review here, but it's beyond deserved. Their chocolate mousse cake may be one of the best cakes of all time.

Great little place to grab a bit really good for tasty treats. service was good could sit inside or outside. coffee was okay.

Such a cute little shop with every bakery good you could think of. It smells amazing in here and the line moves very fast for a Sunday morning too! They have three separate spaces as well as a full relic with meats and cheeses in one. The croissants were amazing and the quiche tasted so great. We got a chicken/ mushroom quiche and a salmon croissant sandwich.

Fantastic French bakery with good atmosphere and great but pricey food. 4 star food: the food itself is great but prices are roughly double what you expect. 4 star service: the counter staff is friendly. The service is primarily self service, which seems odd at a premium price 4 star ambience: outside it's an older strip shopping plaza. Inside it's good quiet ambience

Always delicious French style variety of cakes, pastries, sandwiches and wraps Consistency is the quality of the food quality and preparation It's order and pick up at the counter but sometimes if sitting outside a waiter will bring the order and it's very homey friendly and relaxing ambiance Recommended for breakfast, brunch or lunch and early dinner ( I think they open till 7:00pm or 5:00 pm depending on which day of the week

I have been coming here for around 10 years now, a friend of mine told me I had to try this place for the loaf of bread called "Eppie" -sp-. I went, I was instantly hooked, I have turned so many people onto this GEM, I mean it, it's a GEM! If you get there early enough for the Eppie bread or browse there decadent variety of sweets and all kinds of other great choices. Want one better??? Come by here, order a sandwich made with fresh bread have a seat in the courtyard and people watch in the casual atmosphere while enjoying what I promise you, a mouthwatering delight! Whatcha Got? THIS IS IT!

I've actually been anxious to try this place because I been wanting to find a good bakery place like in France. Finally gave it a try today and wasn't disappointed with the pastries. Plenty of options and I tried 6 pastries for $18. Seems like the store still developing on their other items such as the wine. Overall nice clean place.. staff are welcoming. Pastries are so good. I highly recommend this place. I definitely will be returning.

Whenever we need a sweet pastry, cake our go to is Croissant' Time. Always on point. And all the workers there are pleasant. The layout is very nice. There's a reason this place has been around for a long time and hopefully for more to come. Highly recommend, will be back!:)

Highly disappointed. This bakery has really gone downhill since I previously visited. The plain croissants we ordered were a shadow of what they used to be when I would come here. They were hard. The coffee was also disappointing. My wife ordered a cappuccino. It was $6.85 for a small! The quiche was also underwhelming. Service not so friendly. No smiles or greeting

I love this place, but the bread is a bit empty inside and pricey for what you get. But It's worth it for the taste, though.

Cute place, friendly staff, excellent croissants, desserts, and sandwiches! I stumbled on this restaurant today, and I am absolutely glad I did. I ordered a tuna salad croissant sandwich, which was made with all fresh ingredients. The croissant was perfectly flaky on the outside, fluffy and airy on the inside, with a chunky, savory tuna salad. It really hit the spot. As I am writing this review, I am thinking about going back in to order an eclair... because, Why not? It has to be just as spectacular as the croissant! ... Umm, yeah, so I definitely went back in and got a fruit tart, a mini eclair with vanilla custard and fruit, and a pistachio macaroon. Who told me to do that?! So freaking good! I almost bit my bottom lip. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I sat outside and enjoyed my sandwich and pastries! Everything was fresh, handcrafted, and delicious! I WILL be back again very soon!

Nice selection of sandwiches and desserts. Indoor and outdoor tables. Good service.

The way I heard of this place is from work. We had few of our costumes bring us treats from here and they were always delicious and fresh. This time I decided to drive by and check this place out. They have such a big selections of pastries, cakes, deli, food and drinks. The staff is friendly and helpful! It is in a pricey side depending on your budget but it's worth trying out!

A French bakery in Ft. Lauderdale with a large assortment of pastries and breads. There are tables where you can eat in or take out. A favorite of mine.

Whenever I'm in the area, mostly for cruises, I always try to stop by here for some great French bakeries. They have the BEST French baguettes in the US. I love this place because as soon you walk in, your sensory starts to kick into overdrive. The fresh smell of breads, croissants, etc fill your nostril. There is no other places that I have been to in the US comes close to it. My only regret is not being able to buy everything and bring them home with me. So if you are not local, make sure to stop by here if you get the chance. You won't regret it

I have been there a number of times their croissants fresh crispy outside and soft pillowy inside yum had their pate sandwich oh gosh my arteries thanked me for the deliciousness!! Their cookies and desserts always make every one happy

How did I drive by this bakery so many times without stopping in? It's located conveniently on North Federal Highway, in a brick-red strip mall next to USPS. I stopped by on a Sunday morning and followed the live guitar music, which led me inside to a large bakery that is bigger than it looks from the outside. Despite being packed, there was plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Established in the 1980s, this place is uniquely French and comfortably casual. Walking in surprised me--I was stunned by the rows and rows of croissants, French specialty pastries, and sweet and savory cakes. The menu also serves sandwich options. To the left, you'll find a huge selection French cheeses, cured meats, and dainty chocolates. To the right, you'll find the espresso bar and indoor seating. Service is fast, and prices are slightly on the higher side. We ordered double espresso lattes, which was served with rock candy, as well as a breakfast croissant (topped with turkey, brie, and pickles). I hope to come by again soon, next time I am going to try the kir royal. Give this place a try! You definitely can't miss it--just follow the advertising on the road with balloons.

Food is good but small portions and overpriced. Rude employees who rush you screaming who's next all the time . Just stand there and let the customers take it all in , I'm sure they'll Ask to order when ready or stand there like a manikin, just don't be so pushy with customers . Most ridiculous thing is they wouldn't even cut my baguette sandwich into 3,. I had to do it myself with a plastic knife , they said they can only cut it in half . The most ridiculous thing I ever heard . Time to move on . Similar place on Oakland park blvd with nicer employees

The fragrance of delicious pastries permeates this small shop. There are several items from which to choose. There are fancy cakes, pastries, sandwiches and coffees. We stood in a line for about ten minutes but we were able to see what we wanted to eat. One very nice thing about this shop is that they often offer a smaller version of the pastry. That way we can try several!!

If you enjoy zoos and by that I mean being an animal in a zoo completely surrounded by other animals on crack with a staff that has no idea what the hell is going on you will love this place. No order, no direction, asking you what you want from the other side of the restaurant when you're following the directions on the floor that tell you to order at a certain spot and no one is there. Have no idea how good the food is because I left before I could order because the chaos was too much.

The women working here were so attentive and graceful. It's a very small space and a little overwhelming with the GORGEOUS PASTRIES! There's a massive variety of beautiful baked goods. The prosciutto baguette transported me back to France with one bite. Will be back.

We came here for lunch on a Saturday and it was pretty crowded. There was live music on their patio (a guy and his guitar) and the line inside was confusing for this first-timer. There are two halves of the place including a third, more grocery-like area to the far left. I see in some pictures they used to have arrows on the ground, looks like during COVID. I think they need those back. I ordered pastries and sandwiches from the only line there is and paid at the end. I had a designated person helping me the whole time which was nice and we got our pastries right away. We were able to find a table inside and got our sandwiches within 10 minutes. I got the Pan Bagnat and it was good, but I ended up wishing I got the Bechamel. The bread was really good and my sandwich was loaded, but was a bit messy to eat. My pastry was a Nutella one that was pricey, but well worth it!

Yummy pastries and the quiche was great overall the food could be warmer in temp but cut place to grab a quick bite fresh oj is yummy

I was visiting this place since 2005 and anytime I am back I pay a visit to Croissan'Time It's a good place to have a sandwich (on freshly baked baguette what can go wrong?) they do bake bread on the premises if you would like to take home. My favorite sandwich is with smoked salmon but there is a big choice to choose from. They do offer soup of the Day - every day is different! I also like their quiches (they have them in different sizes and flavors) . Leak quiche is my favorite The choice of pastries is big and sizes are different (mini and regular) There is a small stand of gourmet French food and alcohol if you want something exquisite! Cakes are very tasty too and different sizes if you need to take for celebration If you like truffles - I highly recommend Grand Marnier truffle dusted with powder- delicious! The flavor is dense and heavy! You'll need only 1-2 bites to fulfill your chocolate craving. Please visit this spot and enjoy! I am sure you'll find something here that will be bringing you again and again!

More like 3 1/2 stars this time, but I've been here many times in the past and had better experiences. No matter what, it's still pretty good -- especially their wonderful French bakery items. The restaurant has been around over 30 years. It's expanded a bit since I first started coming. There's inside and outdoor seating on the patio, but many people do takeout. It's located in a busy shopping strip (with other restaurants) on the west side of US 1/Federal Highway. You order by the pastry cases or the "main" counter. There's now another little room with all sorts of other "fine foods". In addition to their namesake croissants (and there's quite a few), there are daily baked breads, a wide array of pastries -- individual and specialty cakes and pies. All are made on the premises. The "to eat" items are hot entrees, salads, sandwiches, and a soup of the day. They can customize items as well for a charcuterie plate or a mini version of your choice. Did I mention their cookies and chocolates? Anyhow, we were able to snag one of few inside tables. You pay by the "other" counter. I ordered a tomato/mozzarella salad. It was pre-made and I was told to get it from the case. I'd wanted a salmon one but they were out of them. My husband got a two scoop tuna salad. His was made fresh -- and was much better than mine. Each salad came with a choice of roll (sour dough, French, etc). We also shared an almond croissant. That was delicious --filled with lots of flavorful almond paste and topped with copious slivered almonds. It was not overly sweet, either. My kind of dessert. I'd definitely return, but next time get one of their sandwiches that I've enjoyed on my previous visits. Plus one of their yummy pastries, too, of course.

Always delicious!!!! And the prices are great! They have both sweet and savory croissants that are equally good. The customer service is also always amazing

Freshly baked goods, cafe style dining. Indoor and outdoor seating available. You can order bulk to go, or sit and take something from the display or menu. The pastries are excellent so fresh! Loved it

I have been going here since I was a small child. Not only are the pastries amazing but the food service bar they offer is amazing as well. It's a cute little place but can get busy. Has some small seating availability inside but they offer tons of shaded seating on the patio. Live music sometimes on weekends. 12/10!

The food is some of the best food I have had. It is probaly the best authentic French bakery in the country. I highly recommend the ham quiche. The cappuccino is outstanding. The staff is super friendly and kind and so is the owner. It has a very kind atmosphere inside.

Awesome bakery goods but owner and staff could use some customer service training. I understand they are busy but they are rarely friendly even when they're not slammed. Feels like a scene from Soup Nazi.

The bakery seems very old timey and has a traditional look to it. Nothing about Croissant'Time is modern, but the taste from the desserts are classic! We got the raspberry chocolate soufflé, two chocolate pastries, a key lime pie, and croissant for tomorrow morning. I loved my chocolate pastries. My fiancé described his key lime pie as so-so. I absolutely loved the service we had at the bakery. I'd definitely come back if I was in the area and craving French style pastries.

By far my favorite bakery in Fort Lauderdale! Friendly staff and amazing pastries! I don't think I've had one thing from here I didn't like. I've recently become obsessed with their selections of croissant sandwiches, they are perfect for a quick lunch.

Their croissants are really amazing. Buttery, soft and flakey. I wasn't a huge fan of the bread or the sandwiches but honestly, they could make just croissants and they'd be worth the drive.

This place doesn't miss!!!! Food is always great here. Cheapest ticket to France!!!! Fresh bread, cakes, and food all day!!! Friendly staff. Can't go wrong with this one!

I'm not a big fan of croissants, but i'm a big fan of this one. The croissant had the perfect amount of chocolate. The espresso was the perfect pick-me-up and I loved the sugar stick! They have so many options so I will definitely be back to try more things!

Today I stopped by Croissant Time. Long time customer. Among other things I bought the smaller size chocolate croissants. When we ate them at home I was shocked to discover how bad the quality has become. The "fresh" croissant bought at 10 am tasted stale, felt like the quality of the butter was also poor and just a thin line of chocolate on one side. This is disgusting! A bakery that prides itself on its French patisserie goods and is actually named "Croissant " Time serves this kind of awful choc croissant. Even costco or Publix would be better. Such a disappointment. I'm not going back and will caution others to watch out for their baked goods.

Great croissants. Lovely ladies at the counter but sometimes the owner comes off as a little boujee , just saying !

Very disappointed with the food. Beside that. Interior had a face lift. Very nice but still doesn't alleviate the congestion at ordering & checkout counter. Very poor selection of French pastries. We have been a customer for over 20 years & this may be our last encounter. We selected eclairs, chocolate & plain pastries, apple turnovers, French bread. We had coffee & hot chocolate there. Pastries & bread not fresh. Very dry & tasteless., for our $55 bill.

Sacrilege! Anyone that gives this place anything less than five stars is nothing but a biased hater. They are the BEST French bakery in the tri-county area. Absolute treat! If I had a critique is the staff sometimes is a bit snooty. A small pittance for the love and time put into all the little puffs of heaven.

Always enjoy this place. I always feel like a kid in a candy shop here. Positively scruptious!

Food is great and the coffee is The best... the problem is the line.. always a madhouse and if you would only like a coffee.. you must stand in the only line which is everyone ordering and picking out pastry... it is maddening. They should have a separate line for coffee or a quick pastry. Also, outside tables are old and half of them are wobbly.

There are view good bakery places that absolutely delight you upon entry, eating, and dining. This does all of them well. We wish we found them earlier in our trip because we would have gone daily. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The restaurant looked wonderful and that you could tour without pressure. And all of it is a perfect recipe of have a relaxing time. We will remember this bakery fondly and will hold other bakeries to the standard from this place

The best fresh, flaky croissants ever! I always have a croissant craving and this place is my go-to. Ordered an assortment of butter, chocolate, and apricot croissants-- this box won't last me too long because I simply can't resist!

Went out for a drive and decided to drive to Croissan'Time. It's a cute spot and there is outside sitting. I did find some things pricey for the actual size of the item. The desserts were very tasty and the baguette was just right. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. That I would buy over and over again. Overall everything we ordered was really good.

I was craving an authentic croissant and my search for one led me to Croissan'Time. Sacrebleu! How have I not been here before? Founded by baker and pastry chef Bernard Cassehey in 1986, it has been open at Sunrise Square on Federal Highway ever since. As soon as I walked in the door I was immersed in the smells and sights of a wonderland of French food. As I made my way around I saw that there are three rooms to explore. The first is the fine foods area stocked with frozen and refrigerated items, foie gras, caviar, salmon, wine, exotic cheese. The next room is the bakery with its cases of breads, croissants, cakes, tarts, miniature pastries macaroons, and homemade chocolates. Finally there is the deli where they prepare sandwiches on fresh baked bread, quiches, croque-monsieurs, and crêpes. The selection of delectable bites, both sweet and savory is staggering. They have the most beautiful cakes to make your celebrations extra special and if you brought a box of pastries from here you would be welcomed wherever you go. The line was quite long on the day I visited so get here early. They open at 7. !

The flakiest, freshest breads and croissants outside of France! Such a great bakery, and amazing staff. Very fresh and quickly made. Can't wait to go back.

Maybe it has slipped a little since the new owners took over. I had an almond croissant which was soft and soggy. Not what it used to be. Also none of the help speaks English. My wife asked for ice with her coffee. No ice was given. I had a double expresso which usually comes with a spoon (for stirring a sweetener) and a twist of lemon peel. Neither of those were provided. This is a fabulous business but needs more attention to detail.

Pretty good spot for authentic pastries and deserts. We were looking for a spot that had strong unique deserts. This place tries hard to be a 5 but still comes up short. But a worthy pit stop if you live or drive close by.

Stop listen and get to this restaurant as soon as possible. This is what a bakery is all about what great service unbelievable taste the croissants are to die for five stars the bread amazing I don't know what else to say. I wish I found this place Sooner

Excellent pastry bakery in Fort Lauderdale FL. Multiple options of freshly baked bread and pastries. Minor drawback. Limited seating indoors and out, hence the high takeout traffic. Great service. Will certainly return on my next visit to Fort Lauderdale.

The best, hadn't been here in years and I forgot how good it was. I ordered a cake for a work event and it was delicious and beautiful. Everyone was raving about the cake and it was worth every penny. I will definitely be coming back more often. The service was great, they helped me carry the cake since it was a big one and the girls were really nice and attentive.
