Croissant hybrids, from cookies and waffles to donuts, captivate pastry lovers with their inventive fusion of textures and flavors, combining the buttery, flaky layers of a classic croissant with the delightful elements of other beloved treats—and Cafe W offers something new with its savory onigiri croissants.
While crookies, croffles and cronuts tend to satisfy sweet cravings, Cafe W’s inventive creations appeal to savory flavor lovers with varieties like mayo and pollack roe and a chive bacon cream cheese. “The R&D process for the onigiri croissant was both exciting and challenging,” said Cafe W CEO John Lee, “It took a lot of experimentation and fine-tuning. We had to perfect the dough to keep it flaky and buttery, while also nailing the triangular shape of an onigiri. Finding the right balance for the filling and flavor to complement our buttery croissant was another big task.”
