Best croissants in East Dulwich

Jus thought I'd give a shout out to Boulangerie Jade for having the best and most consistently good croissants in East Dulwich.


Developed a craving for them while pregnant (which has persisted since I gave birth 3 months ago) and therefore have been trying out all the local cafes since then!


Duck Egg's croissants were also good - but once I had a v stale one there. It was a v sad day.


French House was ok, and Trio (Bellenden Road) did a good one that they warmed up for me once. However, on other days they haven't been the best.


Thought it was in the community spirit to pass on this essential information.

I don't know what you're moaning about DirtyBox, these are the important issues of the day.


Jah Lush, I've had the Mirror and the Sun on the phone all day in a bidding war for the exclusive on my croissant investigation. However, I'm really holding out for an offer from The Guardian or the Times.


Will definitely try Barry's croissants! 55p! That's a bargain. Don't let me down Bazza.

This a serious matter, esp as both businesses are v local to me.


I like both Barrys and B Jade croissants, but they are different creatures.


No criticism of Barrys, but theirs are mass produced items, though of decent quality, and nicely flaky, but the winning point is that in the mornings they are indeed generally still warm from the oven.


B Jade croissants are an altogether more substantial and, dare I say, it artisan affair; high quality ingredients and contrasting crispy/chewy textures.


An honourable mention to the Blackbird Bakery - more B Jade-like but overall somewhat softer and lighter.


Is that poncey enough for everyone?

I don't think eating croissants is a sign of being middle class when you can buy them at Lidl, Aldi and every petrol station convenience store.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
