If you have been on Instagram lately and have not seen the giant croissant from Bakerist UAE, you are probably offline. The European-inspired French bakery café has been all over everyone's feeds, and for good reason — their viral Giant Croissant and Giant Coffee combo is exactly the kind of thing that makes people stop scrolling and start booking a table.
What Makes the Bakerist Giant Croissant So Special
Bakerist is a European-inspired restaurant and French bakery café, known for its artisan pastries, including the viral Giant Croissant and Giant Coffee. The croissant itself is nearly ten times the size of a standard pastry — flaky, buttery, and built to be shared. Priced at AED 190 and designed to serve six people or more, it can be stuffed with your choice of filling: pistachio, almond, chocolate, strawberry, raspberry, cheese, or plain. One important note — it requires pre-ordering at least 24 hours in advance.
Pair it with a rich, smooth Giant Coffee and you have got the most photogenic table order in the city right now.
This is not just a size gimmick, either. The quality is what keeps people coming back. Reviewers consistently rave about the croissants, highlighting their flaky texture and rich fillings, and the coffee has been praised just as much as the pastry it comes with.
