Le Croissant Shinsaibashi — Restaurant in Osaka

I must admit I have been a bit fooled by the reviews here. First of all, it opens at 11:30am, so quite late for a « breakfast » category. Second, there’s no seats. So you grab your stuff and you leave. Don’t even try asking where you can sit, « I don’t know » will automatically be the answer. There’s a parallel street close to Nike that has stone benches so you can sit there. The normal croissants are ok. Just ok. FAR from being the best croissants in the world. We took an assortment box and were not given the choice of the croissants to put inside. I hence suspect that we had the unsold croissants from the day before. The flavoured croissants (chocolate almond and caramel) were so dry that we could barely bite into them (after that bite we actually left them because they were not even tasty). The only great moment was the peach or strawberry « breakfast bowl » that contained a few croissants, whipped cream and jam/fruits. These were absolutely delicious. If I was to come back it would be...

I have bought croissants from this branch twice and they were always soooo oishiii! The second time around, I had a huge mistake of unconsciously leaving my wallet in their shop and I only realized it after walking around Shinshaibashi for more than an hour. We arrived at the shop around past 20:30 (almost closing time) and I was so scared that it might not be thete after all... but lo and behold, they have my wallet. There was a line behind me when I was buying the croissants but the staff and the persons next to me were all so honest that my wallet remained in the shop all the time. The shop also emailed me but for some reason my phone did not notify me of the email. I'm just so thankful to this shop, the staff and the head chef for keeping my wallet safe for me. 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️ Lesson learned to always be mindful of personal belongings when travelling. Le croissant is highly recommended! 🥐🥐🥐✨️✨️✨️ Domo...

Wow.

The egg salad sandwich croissant is like Lawson and 711, but on steroids. Place it inside a crispy, buttery, croissant? Definitely one of the best egg salad carbohydrate items I’ve had on this trip. Cute little croissants, about 3 large bites or 4 normal sized bites.

I honestly didn’t care for the kind of overcooked sliced egg inside, but for $2 USD, this is an insane deal.

No line when I went at 4-5pm, i just wish I had gotten 4 more. Would definitely come again on my next trip.

Skip the muscat soufflé, oddly dry and cream wasn’t that good.

Please open...
