About Athenian croissants, which are better than Parisian ones

Handmade, delicate, aromatic croissants are offered by bakeries in Athens; they are quite capable of eclipsing the world famous French ones with their taste.

Just imagine: it crunches slightly when you bite into it, and then delivers a sensual pleasure, spreading with an unforgettable taste and literally melting in your mouth. On January thirtieth, the world celebrated International Croissant Day. In connection with this event, we decided to introduce you to the best croissants offered in Greece, classic and new ones, which you can enjoy every day!

Bread B.C.

A completely unique bakery opened a year ago in the center of Halandri, where skilled professionals who are passionate about their work work. They offer numerous visitors real slow-ripening sourdough bread and a variety of delicious products, including delicate croissants that take 72 (!) hours to get into the window of this amazing establishment.

The ritual of their preparation consists of kneading, fermenting, raising the dough, resting it and baking. Yeast dough does not tolerate fuss, and the success of the process depends on many factors. The result exceeds our wildest expectations. In addition to everyone’s favorite classic croissants – butter, praline, pain au chocolat, almond – they offer many options for every taste: melomakarono croissant, salted with egg and potatoes, Snickers with chocolate-peanut cream and peanuts, with caramel, chocolate and caramelized peanuts.

Overall

The famous and popular croissantry was born from the dreams and became a reality of three friends and skilled pastry chefs: Ioannis Kikiras (known as a member of the British pastry group for many years), Alkibiades Zervas and Spyros Pappa. They dreamed of a store where they would offer real croissants with high-quality French butter, made with boundless love. Their business opened in the midst of a pandemic, it was a small store in Praxitelius, tells CNN Greece.

Literally from the first days, queues lined up in front of the establishment with a bright pink neon logo: some wanted to try classic croissants, others were attracted by original new products, and still others, having tried both, could no longer deny themselves the pleasure of high-quality pastries literally every day. Now Overoll has four stores in Athens, one in Thessaloniki, it has already conquered Cyprus and is tirelessly winning new fans of its unique, melt-in-your-mouth croissants and other products.

Τρομερό Παιδί (Terrible child)

The bakery-pastry shop “Τρομερό Παιδί” opened in Ilisia at the height of the pandemic. Four years later, queues line up outside this establishment every day – they sell delicious bread and simply incredible sweets. The reason for this popularity is a combination of several factors: they use only natural yeast, Greek grain, French technology, and they put their love into each product. Of course, skilled bakers could not ignore everyone’s favorite croissants. After trying them, visitors begin to complain of “addiction,” and the confectionery shelves are empty every day already in the morning. This bakery is definitely worth your attention.
