La Croissantería

Had a wonderful time there. Definitely the best croissant in Montevideo

This place has some of the tastiest, flakiest croissants I've ever had. We enjoyed the "deconstructed croissant" breakfast so much we came back the next morning to order it again (I'm vegetarian and they were able to prepare it without bacon, no problem). The staff is pleasant and efficient and the air conditioning inside is a nice relief from a hot day (or there is seating outside for those cooler days).

Ordered cream and nuts croissant, it was worth the penny

Used to be a very good french pastrie's bakery, somehow the quality of some of the pastries vary and lack consistency.
Lately the cinnamon rolls have been underbaked and not flakey the way they are supposed to be (and used to be).
Hopefully they will get back on track.
The croissants are still good, although a tad heavy handed on the fillings.

Very nice and cosy place for your Sunday breakfast

Excellent selection of sweet baked goods, including a variety of filled/topped croissants, sweet rolls, budins, cake, cookies and scones, etc. There are savory dishes available on their menu —- Actually I ordered a croissant with melted brie and carmelized onions that was very good. They make great liquados — the strawberry blended with water and ice is more like a smoothie. Coffee here is supposed to be great, but I haven’t tried it yet. Limited indoor and outdoor seating — not really a table service place, primarily take away; but certainly 2 people can have a comfortable seated light meal/snack and beverage.

Lots of tantalizing options here, especially with sweets. If I hadn’t needed brunch, I would’ve tried lots of sweets. But instead I did the salmon croissant, which was good, and for a sweet food the raspberry budin, also very good. The only somewhat disappointment was the iced caramel latte. I had seen a photo on Instagram before I came, and maybe I had to special request, but mine didn’t come with whipped cream. I think it would’ve helped make it a little sweeter and I would’ve enjoyed it more. I would try again in the hot version on a cold day (but too hot of weather these days).

But I still like the place. And the employees were helpful, even though I attended with a friend who has almost no Spanish and can make it a bit frustrating for the employees to communicate with her.

One more thing to note, the chairs we sat in were so comfy!
