They’re back! 💚

After weeks of requests, our Pistachio Croissants and Pistachio Pain au Chocolat have returned.

We paused them in December due to pistachio supply shortages and price increase, but we couldn’t ignore the demand anymore.

The recipe hasn’t changed. The filling is just as generous as before, made with 100% Italian pistachios.

Available again starting tomorrow.
Limited quantities daily.
