Metro Vancouver Croissant Crawl returns November 1 – 14 with Limited-Edition Croissants

The Metro Vancouver Croissant Crawl returns for its second year, featuring exclusive croissant flavors and innovations at participating establishments across Metro Vancouver from November 1 to 14.

Participants are encouraged to embark on their own flaky journey, whether by foot, bicycle, or car, as they hop from one bakery to another, savoring a variety of croissant flavors.

This year, the event has been enhanced to cater to a broader audience. The festivities now extend over a two-week period, and include vendors not just in Vancouver but also in North Vancouver, New Westminster, and the Tri-Cities. Additionally, two plant-based croissant options are available for vegans to join in the excitement.

In response to the high demand from last year, all vendors are offering pre-orders for these delectable pastries, while walk-in availability remains limited, making pre-orders highly recommended. An exciting addition this year allows customers to cast their vote for their favorite croissant on the event’s website.

Don’t forget to share the croissant adventures on Instagram for a chance to win delectable prizes. Use the hashtag #vancouvercroissantcrawl to participate in the fun!
