When Melbourne-born bakery Croix Croissant opened its first Brisbane site in Hillcrest back in January, it instantly soared to the top of our pastry rankings on the back of its range of never-before-seen creations, including its mie goreng croissants and lemon cheesecake cruffins. If you haven’t yet made the pilgrimage to sample Croix Croissant’s range, here’s some news that’ll really butter your crust – Croix Croissant is set to open the doors on a brand-new location this month, with the team putting the finishing touches on a new shopfront in Newstead. Seeking a spot that was more centralised, Croix’s owners Audi and Rizka Krisnandika have snagged a vacant cafe space at 68 Commercial Road (previously home to No. 68). The space – bigger than the couple’s current nest in Hillcrest – comes equipped with a larger kitchen, which the team will use to bolster its production capacity while also offering more dine-in space for customers. Once open, Croix Croissant Newstead will serve the same offering as its Hillcrest headquarters (including its viral double-beef burger croissant and range of vegan pastries), though plans are in the works for some special items and Newstead exclusives in the future. Croix Croissant Newstead will open to the public before the end of the month – check in soon for a peek inside.
