Where to Find Real Croissants in St Maarten

Hand-laminated, baked through the night at both maisons — gone by mid-morning.

Golden hand-laminated butter croissants from La Sucrière, Simpson Bay

The search that brings more visitors to our counter than any other: a real croissant on a Caribbean island. Ours are laminated by hand with butter, proofed overnight and baked before sunrise at both maisons — Cole Bay and Philipsburg — and the early batch sells through most mornings. A proper croissant should shatter at the crust and pull apart in layers inside; humidity is the enemy here, which is exactly why we bake fresh daily and why earlier is always better.

What to order for St Maarten (island-wide)

The plain butter croissant is the benchmark — judge us on it. Then the chocolate, the almond, and the pistachio-chocolate when it's in the case. Six in a box travels well to villas and boats.

Good to know

What time should I come for fresh croissants?
Early — we bake through the night and the first batch is out at opening. For a guaranteed box, send a pickup request at least 24 hours ahead; it's confirmed via WhatsApp once payment is arranged.
How do I spot a real butter croissant?
It should feel light for its size, shatter slightly when squeezed, show layered honeycomb inside, and taste of butter rather than oil. Our guide 'The Croissant, Explained' covers all the signs.
Do croissants keep in island humidity?
Not well — humidity softens the crust within hours, which is why same-morning is the rule. If you must keep them, a few minutes in a hot oven the next day revives the crispness.
