Hello, friends from Love Croissants😍!

Happy Monday, Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ , and congratulations on starting this week strong!

Mondays are for reflection and action—take a moment to appreciate what you accomplished last week, give yourself some credit, show yourself some love and get ready for pure awesomeness ahead.

As said before, I appreciate you taking the time to read all the way through, so there’s a special reward waiting at the end. 😉 Love you all, hope to see you this week at the shop!

🥐 Croissant Masterclass – 3 Days of Liquid Gold
If you know me, you know I love learning and sharing knowledge. Making truly world-class croissants is an intricate process, and most people don’t have access to the right knowledge, techniques, or ingredients.

I’ve had many mentors help me perfect my craft, but one of the most remarkable is Alejandro Guerra ()—a world-class pastry chef who has trained some of the best croissant makers in the world. He understands the nitty-gritty of flour, protein content, fermentation, and all the science behind perfect lamination.

So, for professionals who want to MASTER this art, Alejandro and I are hosting a 3-day intensive Croissant Masterclass (April 14-16th). We’re revealing everything—no secrets, no fluff, just pure liquid gold.

PS: If you are not a "professional" but would like to do a short 4-hour class fill out the form bellow, once it's filled we will book it.

🥐 Croissant Specials: St. Patrick’s Rest, Easter Madness Coming Soon!

Chef Diana and I wish you all a Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀 Even though our brains were buzzing with ideas, we decided to pause this week to recover and prepare for an amazing Easter Special. We’re already dreaming up some crazy, flaky creations, and we know you’re going to love them. Stay tuned!

🧈 Behind the Butter: Why We Use French Beurre de Tourage
Ever wondered why our croissants taste different? It all comes down to the butter—real French Beurre de Tourage from Normandy & Brittany. Here’s why we insist on using it:

🔹 Flavor & Aroma – Rich, creamy, and slightly nutty, this butter gives our croissants their signature taste.
🔹 Perfect Layers – It’s specially made for laminating dough, holding its structure without breaking, creating the ultra-thin layers that bake into perfect flakiness.
🔹 Authenticity – It’s the same butter used in France’s top patisseries, and we wouldn’t settle for anything less.

… End of this week's rant. Here’s Your Lucky Love Token. 🍀❤️

I love you all. None of this craziness would make sense without your love and support. You really mean the world to us.

See you soon, and stay flaky. 🥐✨

With love,

Chef Omar Pereney

Bonjour, amigos!

First off—thank you for subscribing to my Love Letters! As I said last week, this is my personal way of keeping you in the loop about all things buttery, flaky, and exciting in my world.

Last week was insane (in the best way), so here’s a little recap:

🏆 BIG NEWS: Love Croissants Named One of the Best in America!

I still can’t believe this—Infatuation just named our Beef & Sausage Croissant one of the Best 11 Croissants in America! Seeing Love Croissants on this list alongside some of the best bakeries in the country is surreal.

This is a huge milestone for us, and it’s all thanks to you—our incredible supporters who have been with us from day one. THANK YOU. We couldn’t be more excited, and you better believe we’re celebrating the best way we know how…

🔥 Krolache Weekday Flash Sale!
If you haven’t tried our famous Krolaches yet, now’s your chance—this week only, enjoy them at 20% off. Because YOLO.

👑 King Cake Marathon – And the Next Croissant Cake?
What started as a last-minute creation turned into an absolute viral monster overnight. The CKC (Croissant King Cake) had Chef Diana and me working nonstop, up to our elbows in dough, trying to keep up with the insane demand. I know many of you didn’t get a chance to snag one, but don’t worry—we’re bringing it back soon with a whole new theme. The Croissant King Cake is here to stay—stay tuned!

🍽️ The Truffle Masters: A Croissant Tradition
We had the absolute honor of participating in Houston’s Truffle Masters 2025, serving up 350 of our legendary mini butter croissants with onion crème, chives, and Kaluga caviar from DR Delicacy. This marks two years in a row of this dish making an appearance, and I have a feeling it’s on its way to becoming a Love Croissants tradition.

We set up shop in the VIP section, had an absolute blast seeing our Houston food fam, and once again, our little caviar croissants were a crowd favorite. Huge thanks to DR Delicacy for the invite and for being a trusted supplier and friend.

☕🥐 Food Founders Happy Hour – Now on Thursdays!
Last week’s Food Founders Happy Hour was an amazing success—flaky croissants, warm coffee, and great company with some of you and a few of my fellow restaurateurs. I’ve decided to move it to Thursdays, so this week, we’ll meet from 9 AM–11 AM. If you’re a food entrepreneur (or just love good conversation over coffee), come hang out!

That’s it for now—see you soon, and as always, stay flaky. 🥐✨

With love,

Omar Pereney

🎙️ On the Podcast: ‘Love Stories’
This week on Love Stories, I sit down with the one and only Krippa Shenoy. Now, in theory, we should be enemies (lol) because we both run bakeries. But in reality? We’re friends, we support each other, and I have so much respect for what she’s building. Krippa is someone to watch—tune in to our convo

🍽️ Introducing: Food Founders Happy Hour at Love Croissants!
Over the years, working as a food & beverage consultant has allowed me to connect with and help so many of you. While I’m no longer taking on consulting projects, I still love learning from and supporting fellow food entrepreneurs in any way I can.

So, I’m launching something new—Food Founders Happy Hour.

🚀 Calling all food entrepreneurs! Starting next Wednesday March 5th, from 9–11 AM, join me at Love Croissants Midtown for a casual, no-agenda, no-pressure meetup. Grab a coffee (on us!), connect with like-minded founders, and share ideas in a space built for collaboration. Come say hi!
