Croissanterie La Marseillaise

Worth the indulgence: Authentic croissants in Vancouver

Hidden in plain sight amidst Granville Street’s bustling entertainment district, this specialty bakeshop is a must-try for those of us who swoon over crescent-shaped pastries. Handmade croissants are crispy on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside, and come in a range of sweet and savoury flavours. Think spinach and cheese, gooey chocolate almond, ham and cheese, pain au chocolat, and croissant breakfast sandwiches stuffed with eggs. Unlike most Vancouver bakeshops, Croissanterie La Marseillaise is open late until 9:30 pm throughout the week, making it a great spot to pick up a flaky pastry after dark should the mood strike.
