Croissants

Has anyone ever tried the Authentic Gourment croissants? I like the idea of individual portions that are fresh baked. I've been getting croissants at Costco and they are pretty good.

I have been getting them for years and love them. I'm currently on auto-delivery for the mini croissants.

In my dragone list ( I learned that word yesterday), I have listed to buy the crossants of Sams. I tried them once and I like them as well.

Cosco is like Sams, correct?

@DecorDiva - They are amazing! We bought them the first time they aired and have kept our freezer stocked with them ever since. At this point, I think there would be a revolt if they weren't included in major family feasts (or anytime we have brunch).

I have tried them. I'd say they are are good, not great, but easy to store and bake off from frozen. My opinion, they are a little too airy/flaky, but costco's are a little too bready.

Have been to France a few times, and loved the French croissants. 😁

Thinking of ordering.
Are they really imported from France, and use real French butter?

Cost is no object if quality.

@EatWell - Yep! And your whole house will smell like butter when you bake 'em.

I used to order these when they first came to The Q and absolutely loved them! My entire family raved of their deliciousness😊. After some time, they were shipped loosely in a blue plastic bag, resulting in some being stuck together. A few were also broken. That ended the love affair, but I still recommend everyone try them, because they are exactly as described.😊

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I order them every year for Christmas. Our family loves them.

@Dinaki Hello Lovely! Costco and Sams are member only warehouses with bulk shopping in most cases.

We LOVE the Members Only Pesto in the meat area. It's as good as homemade. I pour it into a microwave safe container and keep it in the freezer.

When I want some I jist microwave so the top softens, and scoop it off, place the container back in the freezer.

I don't think they are any better than those you get at Sam's or Costco.

They are fabulous. Actually they were so fabulous I ate more than I should have.

Get your croissants in the freezer dept at Trader Joe's. You can't beat the price. They are great.

I agree. Williams-Sonoma has great frozen croissants also. But pricier than TJ and you have to thaw overnight and then cook in the morning.

I love these so much and have ordered 3 times but I can't justify the 70.00 bucks anymore. It's too much.

Traders Joe has some good croissants in the bread section and didn't know they had some in the freezer section. If I ever get there again I will check it out.

If they're still the same as when they first started having them, they're good. I still have some that I had vac-sealed in twosies, from several years ago, as there were so many in an order that I can't use them that quickly. But they vac-seal well and will stay good for very long.

But my favorite variety of these was the ones that had half of them filled with raspberry and half filled with lemon. I got those on AD but they killed it halfway through my AD and I've never seen them again. If they still had those I'd still be purchasing them.

thanks everyone for you input! I may try Authentic Gourmet. The nearest Trader Joes is an hour away. But if I ever get that way, I may try theirs.

I have tried the ones from Q, TJ and Costco. Never tried from Sam's.

The ones from Q were by far the lightest and most flaky of all. A true croissant, not a roll.
