Chocolate Croissant: The Full Breakdown
Indulge in a classic French-inspired treat with our Chocolate Croissant. We use a traditional, labor-intensive butter croissant dough that is folded into dozens of delicate, flaky layers. Inside, we tuck two generous semi-sweet chocolate batons that soften perfectly during the morning bake.
It's an elegant, buttery pastry that brings a touch of Parisian luxury to your morning coffee routine.

The 2026 Insider Taste Hack
Most people order the Chocolate Croissant straight off the board. Here's the shortcut to better flavor: a few zero-cost tweaks that regulars swear by.
How to Order the Chocolate Croissant Smarter
The Chocolate Croissant is best warmed up. Ask the crew to heat it for 10 seconds if it has been sitting. Pair it with a coffee or tea since bakery items are included in some Sip Club combos. Buy two and save one for tomorrow since Panera baked goods keep well overnight.
