Knew about this place for many years, as it is located right next to a print shop where i used to get my university papers and projects, but i never happened to actually stop by.... Until now!
Since i resumed my studies recently, i needed to print some laws i'm currently studying, i went to the aforementioned print shop and, since i'm a croissant aficionado i decided to stop by Sam Croissants.
The experience, however, was, unfortunately, a bit disappointing.
The service was good. Because i had never been there before i asked the lady at the counter for some reccomendations about the available options to snack (it was around 5pm), to which she politely complied.
I went for the obvious chocolate croissant coupled with a pineapple/mint juice since it was one of their custom menus.
The croissant was stale and dry and it definitely didn't taste like a freshly baked croissant ought to taste.
The chocolate tasted like nutella (probably was) and it was good.
The juice was okay for what it is. I'm not a big fan of mint seasoned juices and i only ordered this one because of it being included in their menu. It tasted okay, it was mildly pleasant to drink and complemented the croissant very well.
The environment and ambience was, probably, the strongest point of Sam Croissants. It's young, stylish and cozy.
Because of the close proximity to local universities, most of the costumers were young students stopping by to have an afternoon snack.
As someone who holds very strong nostalgic memories from university days, it was rather pleasing to return to that place and see that all that changed were the people's faces.
All in all, i enjoyed my time in Sam Croissants more because of the nostalgia and the young and jovial vibe of the place. I wouldn't return for the food, though, as there are way better pastries in the city.

Stopped by this 'Maria Croissant' for a quick snack already knowing the brand from other locations.
The space is stylishly decorated, very pleasant and welcoming to the consumers.
I ordered the standard chocolate croissant and it came well cooked, tasty, fresh and dripping in chocolate (so much that i made a mess of my hands while taking hold of it).
It was a quick stop and i didn't get to try other products but, as someone who is obsessed with chocolate croissants, i absolutely loved 'Maria Croissant' boutique, and i definitely plan on visiting them soon.
Highly reccomended.
