From cruffins and croons to cronuts and smashed croissants, it seems like there’s always a creative and new take to the beloved croissant.
You may have heard about (or seen) the latest viral crookie, a cookie and croissant hybrid that’s been all the craze lately.
The original crookie actually hails from France, specifically a Parisian bakery called Boulangerie Louvard. While it was created back in 2022, it wasn’t until recently that the crookie trend picked up. Since then, it has shown up in everybody’s FYP, making its way from New York to Australia and finally to Singapore.
That being said, don’t run into the kitchen to try your hand at making the viral pastry just yet. Here are six bakeries in Singapore offering crookies in flavours like matcha-pistachio, double chocolate chip and more.
1. Sweedy Patisserie
Sweedy Patisserie was probably one of the first few bakeries to bring the viral pastry into Singapore.
The freshly baked Crookie (S$7.80) uses a brown butter chocolate chip cookie dough, creating an intense and nutty aroma to compliment the buttery, flaky croissant — super indulgent. Alternatively, you can get a box of three priced at S$21 for sharing.
Just like all cookies, you have to dunk your crookie into a glass of cold fresh milk to fully enjoy the sweet treat.

2. Nasty Cookie
When it comes to cookies, Nasty Cookie — Singapore’s first New York gourmet cookie store specialising in chunky and thicc cookies — has it all from biscoff to matcha lava-filled cookies.
This halal-certified bakery has their very own Nasty Crookie (S$6.80, S$16 for box of three) using the signature chocolate chip cookie dough and croissants from Nastybakehouse (only at their outlets in Marina Square and Orchard Gateway!).
Imagine a crispy cookie-shell exterior with a warm, gooey chocolate chip centre, paired with the rich and the buttery croissant (yums).
They also have more special flavours including Nasty Monster, Strawberry Pocky, S’mores, Birthday Cake, and Double Choc that will only be available at Orchard Gateway.

3. The French American Bakery
You may already be familiar with The French American Bakery, the popular Muslim-owned bakery best known for its popular hot chocolate topped off with a ring of marshmallow fluff.
That being said, what better to pair the comforting beverage than the Le Crookie?
The in-house pastry promises a flaky croissant, cookie dough and large chocolate buttons with every bite.

4. BreadTalk
Can’t decide between a cookie or croissant?
The ever-so-popular BreadTalk has hopped on the crookie bandwagon and came up with their own rendition of the crookie featuring three flavours such as Chocolate Chip Cookie, Red Velvet and Double Chocolate starting from S$3.30
Unlike the previous bakeries, BreadTalk has taken a unique spin to the crookie where it resembles a Danish puff pastry, allowing it to be stuffed with even more cookie dough and sprinkled with sea salt.
Best yet, it can be purchased at all their outlets so I would hurry down now if I were you!

5. La Levain
If there is one bakery in Singapore that you can trust to keep up with the latest croissant trend, it is La Levain.
Remember the La Lebomz (cream-filled circular croissants) and the recently introduced smashed croissant?
Here’s another reason to drop by La Levain.
The Chocolate Chip Crookie Croissant (S$6.80) boasts a gooey, chocolatey cookie dough with rich cacao barry chocolate chips, premium butter, and finished off with a drizzle of melted dark chocolate and icing sugar.
This melt-in-your-mouth dessert is crunchy, gooey, crispy, and buttery all in one bite.

🕐 8am–6pm (Thu to Tue), 8am–4.30pm (Wed), Closed on Mon
6. Swish Rolls
For those who are looking for a less sweet version of the crookie, Swish Rolls has got you covered.
Although they have the original Chocolate Crookie (S$3.50), they also have a more unique flavour which is the Matcha Pistachio Mochi Crookie (S$3.50). It is filled with matcha and pistachio cookie dough, sandwiched in between their signature chewy mochi, drizzled with pistachio sauce, chopped roasted pistachio and uji matcha powder.
The nutty aroma from the pistachio perfectly compliments the earthiness from the matcha so you can still enjoy the dessert without it being too jelak.
