Des Croissants Paris

I used to travel to the Glendale area to get croissants but this place is much closer and the quality I had here was better!!!! I got a chocolate croissant, a danish with raspberries, and a latte. 🥐☕️ The chocolate croissant was soft, flakey, buttery, and every bite had decadent chocolate which tasted high quality. the mouthfeel was on point 👌the raspberry danish had a flakey croissant-like pastry and a vanilla custard that was smooth, creamy, and had the most delicate flavors!!!! 🍮 It was like France and everything was so good I forgot about my coffee! 😳 I came around 30 minutes after they opened on a Saturday and there was no wait. Everything tasted fresh! The vibes are immaculately French 🇫🇷 (french cafe jazz in the bg!), their team is French and many of the customers spoke French to order. Most of the customers seemed like regulars that were raving about the things they ordered from their last visit. In the back they have a little shop room where they sell specialty items and apparel. The vibe in there is soooooo chic french and they even have a little table where you can drink your coffee in there!!! I thought it was so charming I loved it ☺️ Overall I’d definitely come back for the amazingly high quality pastries and low key, chic French vibes!!!! The prices are consistent with the Culver City arts district ($6.50 for a chocolate croissant 🫣) and you pay for what you get so it can be justified. I’d still come back, throw money at them, and try the quiches. 🤤 Definitely come when they open when everything is magical and FRESH!!!!✨✨✨✨

Des croissants Paris is an authentic French pastries shop and “boulangerie”. We love the croissant and chocolate croissant with special kudos to the “chouquettes”. Chouquette is a small, hollow French pastry made from choux dough, similar to a cream puff but without the filling, and this place prepare them like in France. You will love them or if you do not know this pastry, you must try it at least once in your life. They also have a small French market at the back with goods from overseas.

I first discovered their pastries at the Culver City Farmers Market, and what stood out most was the richness and freshness of the ingredients. You can truly taste the quality of the butter and dough in every bite. Excited to visit their store, I initially went on a Tuesday—only to find it closed! They’re only open a few days a week. This time, I made it on a Friday morning, and it was bustling! The shop is spotless and exudes a charming Parisian vibe. From the friendly merchants to the cozy atmosphere, it feels just like a bakery in France. 🇫🇷 I highly recommend the raspberry Danish and raisin escargot (such a fun name!). The raspberry Danish is filled with incredibly fresh, juicy berries, while the escargot has just the right amount of plump, moist raisins. 💕 The customer service was warm and professional, and the coffee was surprisingly good. Plus, their prices are more reasonable than others in the neighborhood. 👍👍 The only downside? The restroom is for employees only, so I had to cut my visit shorter than I’d have liked. Overall, I highly recommend this spot and will definitely be back! 🇫🇷❤️

We stopped in to try their Kouign Amann. It was flaky, buttery, and had a nice carmel on the bottom. I understand why its considered one of the best in LA. We also got a quiche Lorraine. Unfortunately, even after 5-10 minutes back in the oven it was still ice cold. We each had a bite and threw the rest out. We have had much better elsewhere. They had a line out the door, the whole first 30 minutes they were open. They had 2 small tables inside and one outside.

I went almost an hour out of my way to try the croissant here after a rave Parisian croissant review. The bar is high and this is difficult to achieve. I really wanted to like it. I ate it right away, around 10am on Feb 22, 2025, so no photo of the crescent. Unfortunately, I was let down, greatly. Maybe it was a bad batch but not excusable in a French bakery, where the baker has a French accent (real or not). The crescent pastry looked a bit off and it definitely did not sound right, was not flaky beyond a couple spots in a very superficial layer, did not have the right elasticity at all throughout, and the taste was not good. 0 to 1 star. Even Costco has better. I also got a 5-layer flaky pistachio cream dessert for my wife. She didn't like it, and she likes pistachios. I actually liked the pistachio cream filling but the flaky part had the same issue as the crescent pastry. I don't think I'll ever go back, sadly. The bit of pistachio cream was not worth the $15.

Delicious food!! Fresh bread 🩷❤️ If you are Brazilian sometime you can get Pao de Queijo. Cheese bread..😋😋

Met Aline & Sam at our Restaurant in Marina Del Rey. We went to Des Croissants Paris for a Sunday lunch. Excellent display of Bakery goods. We ordered a variety from the display . Sat outside & enjoyed the quality Croissant, pastries & baguette. We cannot wait to go Back. Thank You Aline & Sam ! Highly Recommend !

My partner and I discovered this just by driving by. The unplanned stop was a great idea. Croissant Kouign Amman, and Ham & Cheese Croissant were all delectable. The amman had the perfect amount of crunchy caramelization on the bottom. Would go out of my way to return!!

One of my absolute favorite vendors at the Mar Vista Sunday Farmers Market! I haven't made it to their brick-and-mortar yet, but I've been enjoying their pastries from the Mar Vista Farmers Market on Sundays and I'm hooked. Some of their items sell out fast, so if you plan to visit, go early! I keep meaning to stop by their main shop, but they usually close before I get off work during the week. Let's talk about the pastries, pure perfection. The brownie is super moist and fudgy, literally melts in your mouth. Then there's the blueberry danish, which reminds me of a danish topped with the best part of a blueberry muffin, absolutely amazing! I've only had it once and have been dreaming of it ever since. Their Basque cheesecake was another gem I only caught once, and I've been on the lookout every Sunday hoping it returns. They also have delicious croissants (regular and chocolate), cookies, and these raspberry mini cakes that I can never resist. Everything I've tried has been phenomenal, you really can't go wrong here. I'm hoping to try their savory pastries soon, especially the spinach and cheese and tomato and cheese ones that always catch my eye. Service is consistently wonderful. The young lady who usually helps out is super sweet, always patient, and happy to recommend her favorites (which honestly are all amazing). She adds to the charm of stopping by every Sunday morning. Overall, this is easily one of my top vendors at the farmers market. If you love pastries and baked goods, make this your first stop you'll thank me later!

I am always on the hunt to try baked goodies. Decided to come to Des Croissants Paris because of their chouquettes, which are not commonly found at most bakeries. Chouquettes are airy French pastry made from choux dough and covered with crunchy pearl sugar. They are essentially like cream puffs without the cream filling inside. It's light, airy and subtly sweet from the sugar crystals on top. I also tried their original, plain, croissant, which was flaky on the outside and had a light butter flavoring. It was on the drier side though, but glad it was not oily and it did not leave my hands covered in grease afterwards. I've definitely had better croissants They do sell tea beverages, but no coffee or lattes. I asked the owner if he can add milk to the tea to make it into a "latte-like" drink and he was very hesitant to. He even gave me the feeling of "what a weird request." I ended up not getting a drink for this reason. Overall, it was nice to try once for me, but I wouldn't go out of my way again to come here.

This place is a really charming and cozy spot with a great vibe. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and feels thoughtfully designed. What I truly loved is the variety of pastries--they have an amazing selection, and everything looks (and smells) incredible. They also have a little shop in the back, which is a nice touch and adds some personality to the place. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the spinach and feta croissant. I got two croissants--one plain (which was delicious) and one with spinach and feta. Unfortunately, that one was a miss for me. I've tried this combo at other places and usually love it, but here the proportions seemed off--way too much spinach and not enough feta. I couldn't even finish it. Unless you're really into spinach-heavy pastries, I'd skip that one. But everything else? Absolutely worth trying. Great coffee, great vibe, and amazing pastries

Tl;dr if you want authentic, high quality French pastries / baked goods - you NEED to try Des Croissants Paris!!! I'm a recovering southern France foodie, and by that, I mean i had just come back from a 2 week long excursion in the Mediterranean, where I was the epitome of American gluttony. From 5:30am wakeups, strolls around the city, 5-7 small meals from mom and pop shops - my mouth was a 'mouf'. After coming back home, my heart (ok, honestly my stomach) couldn't stop yearning for that perfectly packaged flaky, buttery, croissant and espresso combo - and after trying half of LA's supposed best - i finally found it. The store is cute and gives off that French vibe. The service is very friendly and helpful (OK that's the one big change from (most) of the Paris stores), and then food.. omg the food.. utter perfection ‍ (If you can't see the emojis, its a chefs kiss). I devoured the Pain au Chocolat immediately with my own coffee, got up, and ordered another, plus a traditional croissant, and the last baguette. Y'all, I kid you not, I cleaned out the bag. Each item was freshly made in the traditional French style, with all the sourced ingredients and steps followed to a tee - no skimping. I'm literally just rambling at this point, but if you want to try a piece of France in our city - this is it! Oh, and they're only open for a few hours a day. And.. you can't get them daily (at this location). Hope you get all the noms you want~

Let's keep it real. A good croissant is hard to find.... But no need to look any further than this completely charming neighborhood spot! Have been looking for the best of the best croissants in LA and didn't realize this one was practically in my backyard! It's open only a few days a week and the croissants are so flaky and buttery, made with a lot of care and presented perfectly. Several of the offerings change for a different experience every time. Service was great and quick, I ended up getting 5 different items and all of which were amazing! Pricing is moderate but for the quality totally worth it. There is a great little seating area in the back with beautiful natural light and also some things you can buy like jams/jellies and other French items. Street meter or neighborhood parking but watch the street signs for any restrictions! Although a parking ticket might be worth getting for one of these croissants! I absolutely will go back!

Small French bakery that feels a little hidden along that Washington Boulevard corridor in Culver City. I saw somewhere that they have really good croissants here along with other French baked goods and I had to check it out. Parking was fairly easy to find especially on a weekend morning. I was a little surprised because I thought it was going to be a little more crowded. The lady who I can only assume is the proprietor was very friendly and sweet. I ordered a croissant, some coffee, and a baguette to go. The croissant is so flakey and buttery. Seriously so good. Now, I don't make any assertions that I am a croissant expert, but all I know is that I enjoyed every bite of the croissant. And sitting in that small cafe has its own sense of charm in and of itself. Just an amazing small gem of a spot in that Washington corridor and a place I would frequent for the baked goods and coffee.

Pretty sure this is my favorite croissant in LA and YES, I realize that's a big statement. I've tried a ton of them. You walk in and instantly the smell of butter and freshly baked pastries hits your nose. Best smell in the world, I swear. Everything I've tried here has been delicious, from their Croissants to Almond Croissants to Kouign Amann to Pain au Chocolat! The people working here are always super friendly and helpful too, making the experience an easy 5 stars!

What a cute bakery! They have fresh squeezed OJ in the front and cute oil paintings of pastries on the walls Raisin Croissant 10/10 (flaky but juicy) Herb Scone 10/10 (a giant red lobster biscuit) Ham & Croissant 10/10 (better as you get to the center, the juiciest piece of ham)

Best French baked goods. Visiting my daughter in CA, she lives in Santa Monica, she has a lot of French bakeries within walking distance of her place but we drive to Culver City to Des Croissants de Paris. Le pain aux raisins is amazing, les chouquettes are light and fluffy, Les croissants are baked to perfection. Honestly everything is divine including customer service. Small cafe ambiance with superior baked goods.

Service is quick and very friendly! Recommend warming your croissant, sooo fresh and flaky! Not heavy at all. Cute cafe interior and outside tables too! Warm and inviting

You can simple close your eyes, point and not be disappoint by the universe choosing your pastry to enjoy :) I discovered this place by walking by when visiting the Culver City Art Walk and glad I did. I can't wait to go back. A cute and small artisanal bakery on Washington with limited seating but worth the visit and try a few delicious French pastries to go along with your coffee of your choice. Tried their Kouign-amann, cheese and ham croissant, and went back to try their escargot. All super delicious! Service is friendly! Awesome and helpful staff :)

Ayoooo!! So in the hunt for the best Kouign Amann in Los Angeles Des Croissants Paris did not dissapoint. Very cute bakery in Culver City and very busy with customers. This review is strictly for the KA. I give them 4 out of 5 stars for it being on the smaller side for $5.50. (Make it Bigger) Taste wise it had the perfect caramelization on the bottom, the layers of the dough were very nice and the inside was slightly dry but overall i would return again! Service was great, they accept cards. Street parking so you may need to drive around. Cute coffee shop next door. Check this place out all you Kouign Amann Lovers!

I know that Des Croissants Paris gets lots of rave reviews, and this is the main reason we tried the pastries here. We were especially looking forward to having the Kouign Amann. Well ... they were good, but not fabulous. They lacked the traditional crisp caramelized crust we expected. Also disappointed with the "hazelnut" croissants. The shop is small with outdoor bistro tables. Service was very good. Street parking only -- I parked two blocks away on a Saturday morning.

Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 10/10 They don't toast bread but it's really good! I personally wish they toasted cuz Inlove that extra crunch! But the service and vibe were really cute and nice, and they have a lot more seating than it looks like because they have a whole little room in the back! Very cute bakery on a very cute street

Adorable place and great location. I usually love almond croissants, but lately they've been consistently overcooked and dry. They didn't seem this way when the café first opened.

We just got back from Paris where my wife got addicted to Pain au Swiss and we discovered Chouquettes. We found Des Croissants and their pastries are as good as anywhere in Paris. Very friendly team and charming little spot. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Experience. Friendly Happy Gal at the register. Drew my cup art, made my coffee. Soul Happy. Thank you so much!

I love Paris. The culture, architecture, food and atmosphere. The gastronomy of Paris is unbelievable and to find a decent boulangerie is definitely a task here in SoCal. Stumbled onto this little bakery and was super excited when I heard the lady behind the counter speaking English with a French accent. Although I developed a gluten intolerance, I had to transport myself back to the City of Lights by trying their kouign amann, escargot, almond croissant, pain au chocolat and ham and cheese croissant. The airiness of the pastry definitely is authentic and the taste so good. Definitely will stop by again as soon as I get the gluten outta my system LOL!

Our third time here and it was as good as the first time we've tried some of their pastries. Friendly staff. Place is small but I don't mind it at all. I just order one of each and of I go! :) The ham and cheese croissant and the "queen" are my favorite.

Ok ok ok... so if you've read any of my reviews, you may have noticed that I have very little patience for any business serving bad bread. Well I'm pleased to report that if shitty bread is the problem Des Croissants Paris is the solution. Just excellent. The gal told me that they import their flower from France. I do not think that is an unnecessary step. Maybe that's one of the reasons it's so good! Maybe the finest croissant and pain au chocolate I've had in the states. I'll be back!

I stopped here for breakfast with my family and it was an absolute delight. The croissants were perfect--flaky, buttery, and truly reminiscent of the ones you'd pick up at a pâtisserie in Paris. This is an authentic French bakery with real attention to quality ingredients. We had the ham & cheese croissant, the chocolate croissant, and coffee, and every bite was pure perfection. A genuinely euphoric experience and easily one of the best French bakeries in LA.

We've been coming here since this bakery opened and it has never been disappointing . We recently tried the spinach and goat cheese quiche and it was 5 stars. Our toddlers eat anything from here so it's always a nice treat for them. If you're in the area come on in, you won't be disappointed! My favorite would have to be the Kouign-amann, cinnamon rolls, and the croissants!

Scrumptious raspberry danish croissant (fantastic even cold) and bread pudding (which needed a quick warming-up). Coffee (Americano) was alright. Their forte is clearly baked goods. I'll come back to try their quiches that looked good at a glance. The only criticism I have is as usual the bloated (LA) prices which would prevent us from coming over infrequently than we normally would.

Wow! What an amazing French bakery in Culver City! The croissants here are my favorite now in LA and they are buttery and flaky and so delicious! They have a variety of French pastries to choose from that they make daily and it feels like you are transported to Paris once you walk in through the door! When I stopped by recently one morning, I got several items which were their Kouign Amann, Spinach Panier, and a plain croissant! Everything was delicious and flaky and buttery! The Kouign Amann was rich and decadent and the croissant was full of layers and flaky and you could taste the butter! The panier was crispy and had a great amount of the filling in the middle and was a great snack. Service here was also an easy 5/5 as the person helping me over the counter was friendly and answered any questions I had with ease and I can't wait to come back soon for more delicious pastries!

This place has the best pastries in town. If you don't go here you're missing out. I just got back from Paris recently, and they place is can blow a lot of the Parisian boulangeries out of the water.

I have been all over the world, I can't find better than right in my own backyard. It's all amazing. World's best almond croissants.

Excellent croissants and pastries. Pro tip: Don't try to eat 'em in the car or you'll have a lap full of croissant flakes in seconds. Or maybe that's worth it ...

Favorite French bakery in LA! Partner is from France and it's our weekend tradition to grab bread/pastries from here. Love their pain au chocolat and escargot au raisin. Highly recommend!

Legit French bakery. The pain du chocolate is really delicious. I was told the flour and butter are imported from France.

This bakery is unassuming but you'll be very pleased you stopped by! Pastries are delicious and there's quite a variety of options. The savory panniers were especially delicious and unique since most people don't offer them. We had a mushroom one, a spinach cheese and a tomato cheese one. The croissant filled with chocolate chips and vanilla cream was also especially great. Almond croissant, a classic, had a great filling to bread ratio which we appreciated very much. 5 stars for aesthetics and 4 stars for taste and texture. The shop is spacious with cute seating both inside and outside. Team was friendly and explained what each pastry is graciously.

Really lovely bakery. We got a ton of things including the Kouign-amann, chocolate croissant, almond croissant, feta spinach croissant, ham and cheese croissant, palmier, and the canele. Everything was wonderful and they made a great latte as well. It's so nice to have found this place in Dover City. We will definitely return.

Okay, so this was like, um, yeah, DAMNED good -- I'm pretty much a snob with a croissant, because why eat one that isn't flaky and perfect, why? So, you'll have to take my word that this spot is terrific and makes an incredible piece of bread. The croissant was excellent. The pastry was magnificent. And the loaves were capable of making us question our existence -- that's how good they taste. If you count calories, you'll need to find a new hobby and get yourself down to DES CROISSANTS PARIS!

I had Des Croissants back when they used to be at the farmer's market, and I'm so happy that they were able to open up a store front! Their croissants are beautifully light and buttery - very similar to ones I've had in Paris before. I love their classic, but their pain au chocolat was really good too. The worst part about this place is probably their hours (they're not even open on Sundays!) Definitely jealous of anyone who lives nearby, as they definitely have some of the best croissants in LA.

The food is awesome!! I love the croissants, the tarts, and the cookies. It is such a charming place that really add something sweet and delicious to this town.

There are definitely some pros and cons with this place. I'll start with a good.... as I usually do, The shop itself is very cute and has outdoor seating which is nice. The staff is also friendly. The almond cake with the rum frosting was delicious, but the pastry chef does not make it very often, which is a bummer. So the negatives are with two issues. The first issue is the cost is a bit high. The second issue is the croissants themselves are lacking in enough filling for the chocolate and the almond croissants. For this price, the lack of substantial chocolate and almond inside of the croissants is a disappointment. If you want to set yourself apart, pack these things with enough filling to justify the cost. The same applies to the ham and cheese croissant.

Amazing. Please don't come - I want it all for myself!! Charming and d e l I c i o u s.

I got a chocolate croissant and it was the best one I've had! Service was super friendly too. I wish they were open more days out of the week but it's definitely worth stopping by when they are open!

A lovely local gem. The kouign amann and almond croissant are beautifully well made and the crispy shell and flaky airy layers show that the owner-baker really knows what she is doing. She is such a sweet person and absolutely deserving of your patronage.

Yummy authentic French pastries! They even have an escargot croissant. I enjoyed every single thing - cute and clean interior. Lots of street parking, right next to Super Domestic Coffee.

The croissants are amazing here. We tried the butter, ham and cheese and chocolate. All three were delicious with a great flaky texture and buttery flavor. The chocolate was not overpowering and excessive, which I often find with pain au chocolates. The cheese was so good and flavorful. I can't wait to go back. The only issue was $18 for three, which I guess is standard but still a little pricey for bread regardless.

Finally, a French bakery with the true taste of France . Eversince my friend came back from Paris a few years ago with one of the best tasting croissants I've ever had in my life, I've been searching for a French bakery in LA that can bring that on. I haven't had any luck until I tried this place. Samuel's (owner and chef) croissants are so buttery and flaky, but it doesn't break apart and get crumbs all over you. Ham and Cheese is screaming my name, too, along with his chocolate chip cookies. It so reminded me of that authentic croissants from Paris.. I will go broke coming to this place because it's so addicting! If anyone knows any delicious French bakeries, please let me know because this place only opens Thurs-Sat, closes at 1pm, and runs out by 11 or 12. lol. And it's 30 mins from me, which I don't mind driving to, but someone is complaining about my obsession and the long drive to satisfy my taste buds‍. Lol. OPEN MORE DAYSSS PLEEEEASSSE!!

The almond croissants were so yummy! I went around 1 pm and there was only one other couple in front of me and the service was amazing! Very nice guy. It felt very cozy and home-like in there.

Great neighborhood spot with amazing baked goods. Sit outside with a coffee and a croissant.

Not much of a selection, the croissant and canele were rather dry. Service wasn't very interested, it took them a while to come out to help us. OK, but not worth going back to.

Amazing bakery and friendly service. Croissants are the best! Get your coffee next door at Super Domestic.

While I unfortunately never heard of Des Croissants during their early Farmers Markets days, I'm glad to have come to their brick-and-mortar. I came on a Sat morning (they're closed on Sundays) and there was a very short line and plenty of pastries to choose from. Croissant - was lovely. Good lamination and I loved the flaky crust. Each bite was tender and airy, but could taste the butter. Pain Suisse - similar to a chocolate croissant but with some vanilla creme. Was delightful. Street metered parking available.

Went on a Sunday late morning, been wanting to try this place for a while. It did not disappoint. Got croissant and chocolate chip with pastry cream croissant and both were delicious. Ate them there (have a few small tables and chairs inside and outside) and asked them to warm up croissant. So flaky, buttery and delicious! Would highly recommend. Friendly and excellent service, as we asked about almost every item in the case before choosing.

I have a special love affair with croissants, and I would definitely rate these good. Not great, but good enough to return for one. They are well formed, they are pretty flaky, and they taste pretty good. They could, however, be a little flakier year and buttery.

Wow the croissant was so buttery and delicious! Highly recommend checking out this place if you're in the area! They do have limited hours. Will be back soon to try more treats! I do wish they sold coffee as it would pair perfectly with the croissant :)
