Croissan'Time French Bakery - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Kara Speck

Delicious local bakery that’s been around forever. Never had a bad pastry here. Came in with a friend and was a little surprised at the prices, but inflation is everywhere these days. I’m happy paying a bit more and supporting local. They have both indoor and outdoor tables to eat in, as well as a small grocery store in addition to the bakery. Greta place to go for a sweet treat or light lunch.

Awesome selection of authentic and traditional French baking in Fort Lauderdale!! Spent the day in Broward and found this gem on the way to the beach!! We sampled several pastries and we each had a sandwich on fresh baked baguette bread, it was AMAZING!! Location is cute, staff was nice, and it was very clean.

Since October 1986, Croissan'Time has been delighting patrons at its one and only location with homemade recipes baked to golden perfection. Everything is made from scratch, using the freshest dairy and high-quality imported ingredients. From their breads, croissants, and cakes to their tarts, pastries, and homemade chocolates, Croissan'Time has become a staple for those seeking authentic French flavors. Their deli offers European-style products such as foie gras, caviar, and freshly cut cheeses, along with made-to-order sandwiches on baguettes baked every half hour.

Croissan'Time French Bakery is a delightful spot that combines the charm of a cozy, well-organized store with the allure of authentic French cuisine. Divided into three inviting sections—deli, bakery, and desserts—this bakery has something for everyone. Whether you're in the mood for high-end meats, fine wines, delectable pastries, or classic croissants and cheeses, Croissan'Time offers an impressive selection that makes it a must-visit for anyone who enjoys exploring different cuisines.

The store itself is a treat for the senses. It's well-lit and impeccably clean, with thoughtful decor that transports you straight to a quaint French bakery. The ambiance is both welcoming and sophisticated, making it an ideal place to relax and savor your selections.

However, one small drawback is the use of plastic plates for serving food. While it’s understandable from a practical standpoint, it does detract slightly from the overall elegant experience that Croissan'Time aims to provide. A minor adjustment here could elevate the dining experience to match the high quality of their offerings.

All in all, Croissan'Time is a gem in the heart of the city, offering a little slice of France with every bite. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick treat or stocking up on gourmet items, it’s a spot worth visiting.

As someone who grew up in Europe I accidentally got excited thinking I found a good French bakery ‍♀️ unfortunately I saw a fly sitting on baked goods after had already bought, ham and Swiss croissants, lemon, apricot tarts, raisin and cream cheese pastries, and napoleon. My partner and I were so hungry that we looked past it and decided to eat some of the croissants.. even after they were heating it up for 5 min the rolled piece of ham was cold inside with mushy cream around it that did not taste good. The croissant itself was fine but not great. Overall disappointing but I will say that the staff were sweet.

I was in a rush and needed to grab food quick, so this was the best option i got on my way, ordered a slice of pizza and a bacon quiche , $28 . With the same money i ate fried duck at one of the best restaurants on champs elysee, or you can eat a steak at almost any restaurant in Miami. So, yeah, is expensive, however the employee told me are all fresh so reassured me that is worth it.
I got the food, left and started eating.
The pizza slice had good size, but no taste, the ingredients were there but no taste, i wish i had some salt and pepper, as that may had helped. The quiche was garbage, i threw it. I m thinking about creating a dispute with my bank for that quiche as was a waste of money, it looks old and taste bad. Had not even a piece of bacon in it. Either the guy gave me wrong order, either just taste bad.
So the price is there but has nothing to do with the value. Is just money steal.

You won't find another place with pastries and cakes like this. This bakery is my go to for special occasion cakes. Their mousse cakes are refreshing and airy, and the croissant sandwiches are big and filling. When it's not too busy (during the week), I like to sit outside by the bushes with pretty flowers and watch the little birds while enjoying brunch. Highly recommend.

We were greeted with a smile and individually attended. Questions about the menu quickly answered and ordered with we were able to order with confidence. We love the prosciutto and Brie sandwich in q French baguette. The chocolate croissants were so good we got some to go and eat later at home

Croissan’Time in Fort Lauderdale holds a special place in my heart. Thirty years ago, my husband took me here on our first date. Recently, while back in town on vacation, we drove by and were thrilled to see that it is still in business. Naturally, we had to stop in.

The ambience of Croissan’Time has a nostalgic charm, though the interiors are a bit rough around the edges and could use an update. Despite this, the café remains a stalwart in the community, offering the same delightful experience that has endeared it to many over the years.

We ordered the croissant basket, coffee, and fresh squeezed orange juice. The croissants were buttery and flaky, just as I remembered. One small suggestion I have is for them to make their own jam, which would elevate the experience even more. The fresh squeezed orange juice, however, is worth every penny and a perfect complement to the delicious pastries.

Croissan’Time remains a beloved gem in Fort Lauderdale, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy authentic French pastries and a bit of local history.
