Our chocolate croissants, known in France as pain au chocolat, represent the perfect marriage of technique and
indulgence. Each pastry begins with our carefully crafted croissant dough, which undergoes the traditional
lamination process where layers of premium European-style butter are folded into the dough multiple times.
Before the final shaping, we place two premium dark chocolate batons inside, which melt during baking to
create pockets of rich, molten chocolate throughout the flaky pastry.
What makes Café la Reine's chocolate croissants exceptional is our commitment to using only the finest
ingredients. We source premium dark chocolate that perfectly balances sweetness with rich cocoa flavor,
complementing the buttery layers of our croissant dough. Every chocolate croissant is prepared fresh each
morning in small batches, ensuring that when you bite into one, you experience the perfect contrast of crispy,
golden exterior and soft, chocolate-filled interior.
