Croissant fans, get ready!
The Metro Vancouver Croissant Crawl is returning this November for its fourth year, bringing a flaky, flavour-filled journey across the region from November 1 – 16.
This year, more than 30 bakeries across Metro Vancouver are joining in and each is serving up a limited-edition croissant creation for the two-week event.
The crawl invites pastry lovers to walk, bike, or drive between participating spots, enjoying creative takes on the classic French pastry.
This year’s event kicks off with Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim officially proclaiming November 1 as “Vancouver Croissant Crawl Day” to celebrate the event and encourage locals to support small bakeries.
Fans can also join the launch-day mini-tour, which includes three Vancouver stops and plenty of pastry camaraderie.
In another first, this year’s “Most Creative Croissant” award will be judged by none other than Phil Wizard, the Vancouver-born breakdancing world champion and pastry lover.
The award will recognize one bakery that pushes creativity.
There are also some fun new changes for the 2025 crawl.
Select bakeries have designed drink pairings to complement their croissants, and the event now features a print-at-home sticker map that lets participants collect stickers from each stop.
Collect at least three stickers for a chance to win prizes.
Among the must-try flavours this year are Broyé Cafe & Bakery’s Midnight Croissant, a moody, Japanese charcoal-laminated masterpiece filled with Earl Grey dark chocolate and candied orange; Daan Go Cake Lab’s Panettone Cruffin, a holiday-ready croissant swirl topped with candied orange; and To Live For Bakery’s Jalapeño Popper Croissant, stuffed with jalapeño cream cheese and panko crunch.
Pre-orders are highly recommended since walk-in quantities are limited.
Attendees can also vote for the “Fan Favourite Flavour” online, take part in the photo scavenger hunt, and follow along on Instagram for prize announcements.
If you’re ready for a pastry-fueled adventure, this is the perfect excuse to round up your friends and explore Metro Vancouver’s best bakeries — one croissant at a time.
