8 places to get viral stuffed circular croissants in Singapore

Yet another food trend has rocked the global bakery scene. You’ve probably seen TikToks and Instagram posts about circular croissants stuffed with a bevy of delectable fillings. Circular croissants were popularised by Lafayette Bakery in New York, with the invention quickly becoming viral in the United States.

Thankfully, everyone living in Singapore can also get a taste of the viral circular croissants, as many local bakeries have adapted the popular creation, with some even putting unique Singaporean twists on them.

With a host of different names, like croon, croll, swirl and more, here are 8 places in Singapore to enjoy the viral stuffed circular croissants.

1. Swish Rolls

Swish Rolls, located at Cluny Court near Botanic Gardens MRT, was one of the first local bakeries to adapt the circular croissant in Singapore. The circular croissants, named Croons, are available in five different flavours, including sweet and savoury options.

Plain croissant purists can opt for the Crackly Sea Salt Butter Croon (S$3), a crispy and buttery round croissant that comes without fillings. If you’re looking for something a little more savoury, the Ham N’ Cheeze Croon (S$5.80), filled with turkey ham, gruyere béchamel sauce, mozzarella and cheddar cheese, is a delicious and cheesy option to start your day.

I was especially impressed by the sweet stuffed croons, priced at S$5.80 each. The Deep Dark Valrhona Chocolate Croon was stuffed to the brim with a rich and luscious chocolate filling. The Loaded Pistachio Croon and Super Summer Berries Croon were similarly filled generously, though I did find them a tad too sweet.

To avoid disappointment, you can pre-order Swish Rolls’ Croons on their website before picking them up at their store.

Each La LeBombz that I tried was crispy and buttery, even after being left out to sit. The Yuzu Matcha La LeBombz, filled with Yuzu Namaraka cream and topped with uji matcha ganache, combined tangy and earthy flavours from the two elements, while the Truffle Cream Cheese La LeBombz had an evident truffle aroma and a smooth cream cheese filling.

Of course, the classic Nutella La LeBombz was a classic yet delightful creation. La Levain even plans on releasing new flavours in the future, so keep your eyes peeled!

Finally, the Raspberry Pistachio Pom Pom (S$6.80) offers a unique combination of flavours, being filled with tangy raspberry and nutty pistachio.

The Chocolate Pom Pom had a crisp and delightful texture, and I was impressed at the generosity of the chocolate cream. The chocolate was rich with a smooth mouthfeel. It was sweet and slightly milky, but still delivered a strong and decadent cocoa flavour.

The Matcha Azuki Pom Pom had a similar texture to that of the Chocolate Pom Pom. The matcha cream was earthy and sweet with floral notes, while the red beans were soft, mushy and natural.

The Almond Swirl (S$8.60), filled with rum almond cream and topped with almond flakes and icing sugar, was sweet with a nice almond fragrance. The Lemon Yuzu Meringue Swirl (S$10.70) was my favourite, as it was filled with a tangy lemon yuzu curd and topped with torched meringue and lime zest.

The Salted Egg Yolk Custard Croon stood out the most to me as it combined the French croissant with the Asian ingredient, salted egg, producing an interesting savoury and umami experience. The Citrus Milky Snow Croon, on the other hand, was zesty and sweet, and topped with a candied lemon for some extra crunch.

GAMO’s circular croissants are named Crools, and when I visited the bakery on a Saturday afternoon, two flavours were available, priced at S$8 each: the Strawberry Crool and the Chocolate Crool.

The filling in the Strawberry Crool was milky with a natural strawberry taste. I enjoyed how it was not artificial-tasting or too sweet. The Chocolate Crool, on the other hand, had a rich and deep cocoa taste. Though the Crools weren’t filled as generously as other bakeries, I found the quality of the fillings to be on the higher end.
