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?

So far investigations have solely focused upon the classic croissant. No investigations have been conducted on the almond variety.


However, on the pain au raisin front.... La Scala are very good.


Barry keeps cropping up... Must investigate further.

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.

    • Hello, I'm from Ireland and would love my children to be able to know the language - I can speak it but I'm not so good at teaching it. If there's anyone local who used to teach Irish at primary school (preferably Connemara Irish) and who'd like to tutor 3 boys aged 7-10 for an hour or two a week please do let me know. Thanks, Sarah
