Golden Croissant — Restaurant in Nederland

I went by Golden Croissant to get a cream cheese croissant; I haven't eaten there in a while but remember how good I thought it was. This was about 3 weeks ago at 8am (this is early to have none). They had none. OK they sold out, so got 2 ham/cheese and blueberry cream cheese. Since then, I have gone by twice at 4:30pm (late in day could sell out), again no cream cheeses, but both times i bought other items. On third visit, I asked about the cream cheese and young lady was rude. So, today I went by at lunch time, about noon and went inside. Again, they have no cream cheese, this time i decided to go elsewhere to eat. Not only did they not have any for 4th time, but the guy behind counter was also rude. I said man this is 4th time I've come in here and no cream cheese. He says we have a number to make and when they are gone, they are gone. I said Well if they sell that good, maybe make more. His response was it is what it is. Today I was going to purchase a lunch and breakfast for tomorrow for 12 people. But lack of product, rude service, made me think, I would rather...

Visiting from out of town. Some of the nicest staff & family ownership I've ever met. Spotlessly clean kitchen, which says a lot in my line of work. I was blown away to find many, many items are scratch made in-house especially their buttercream frosting. They can customize sweetness to order. It was some of the best buttercream frosting I had ever had. Light, airy with just the right amount of sweetness. It was just the beginning of King Cake season and I had the chance to take one home. Golden Croissant is known for two things; croissants and King Cake. Needless to say, their version of King Cake was outstanding. I opted for the strawberry and cream cheese filling. Light, moist and everything you would imagine pre-celebrations of Mardi Gras. The daughter Anita is an accomplished cake decorator. You can find photos on her Instagram page- Caked by Anita. I would encourage you to support this long-standing family owned business in Nederland. The coffee and espresso were equally delicious. Whenever I'm NOLA bound again, I'll...

Listen, I like the Golden Croissant. I visit this place once every three or four years. I can’t explain why that is exactly. Today, I picked up the lunch special. Small sammie (I chose chicken, almond), with a small SOD (I chose corn and chicken) and a bag of Ruffles. I craved dessert and ordered an eclair and a cream puff. Nope. Just, no to the pastries for sure. The texture of the pastries was definitely indicative of a frozen product. It was like sand with sweetness. Not flaky. Not fresh. Pre-frozen. Bad. The sammie was good. The soup, canned chicken (barely there bits and pieces of it) and little bits of corn in a thickened by corn starch broth - close to a gel like texture. So now I remember that I never really go unless I’m super hungry and I don’t feel like waiting in a long line because it’s not really that good. Say, “no” to the Golden Croissant and head over to...
