The Good Stuff
Sweet Savoury
The menu covers both sweet and savoury croissants, giving groups different styles to try.
Fresh Making
You can watch the pastry being made through transparent glass, adding useful context to the fresh-baked experience.
Strong Breakfast
The creamy pesto scrambled dish received a 10/10 from one reviewer and was worth returning for.
Coffee Options
Coffee is well regarded, with lactose-free milk available and named drinks such as iced lattes and pistachio latte.
Relaxed Setting
The café has clean, cosy indoor seating plus outdoor seating and a laid-back atmosphere for coffee breaks.
Delivery Available
Customers can dine in, take away, or order delivery, with delivery described as smooth in one review.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try Savoury. If you prefer less sweetness, consider a savoury croissant; one guest specifically returned for the creamy pesto scrambled.
Avoid Rush. Mornings can be busy, so visit outside the morning peak if you want a calmer seat.
Request Warming. Ask the team to warm your croissant before serving if you prefer it hot.
Check Sweetness. Ask about the filling before ordering rich desserts: the tiramisu croissant can have a noticeable rum flavour.
Choose Outdoors. Outdoor seating is available and worked well for a pastry-and-juice visit, while indoor space may feel tight.
Try Lactose-Free. If you need it, ask for lactose-free milk; a reviewer was pleased to find the option available.

Popular Mentions
Tiramisu croissant
A distinctive sweet option, though one reviewer found the rum flavour too strong.
Almond croissant
The almond version was described as crispy and buttery, with almond slivers and powdered sugar.
Flaky Classic
The plain signature croissant was reported to have a crispy crust and was quickly finished.
Croque Madame Truffée
A savoury delivery choice praised for its rich truffle aroma and satisfying flavour.
flaky lasagne
The lasagne-filled croissant was called mind-blowing by a reviewer looking for something beyond the classic.
Common Concerns
Small Space
Indoor seating is limited, and one midweek visit still felt crowded and noisy.
Uncomfortable Chairs
One reviewer found the chairs uncomfortable during a busy midweek visit.
Service Delays
A delayed order had to be cancelled because the rest of the party had finished eating.
Very Sweet
Some sweet items may be intense: the tiramisu croissant was too rum-heavy for one guest and the crookie too sweet for another.
Weak Drinks
One review found the drinks too light in flavour and not good value for their quantity.

The Bottom Line
Flaky Pastry Croissant Co. is a gourmet croissanterie and speciality coffee café in Al Wasl’s City Walk. The main draw is the pastry itself: customers come for crisp, buttery layers and a broad choice of sweet and savoury croissants.
Standouts mentioned in reviews include the tiramisu croissant, almond croissant, creamy pesto scrambled and flaky lasagne. There is more to do than grab a plain pastry. You can watch croissants being made through transparent glass, order coffee or juice, and choose indoor or outdoor seating.
Coffee is generally well liked, and lactose-free milk is available. The setting is clean, modern and relaxed, making it suitable for a quick coffee break or breakfast, though the indoor area is small. Plan around the morning rush if you want a quieter table.
One midweek visitor found the café noisy and the chairs uncomfortable, while another reported a delayed order that had to be cancelled. Sweet creations can also be quite full-on: the tiramisu croissant was too rum-heavy for one guest, and the crookie too sweet for another. For delivery, one customer reported a smooth experience and ordered the Flaky Classic, Croque Madame Truffée and Strawberries & Cream.
