Event at Petitgrain Boulangerie Will Feature Inventive Croissants, Danishes, and Filipino- And Japanese-Inspired Desserts
Local pastry lovers will have a reason to rise early next week when Crumbs and Flakes Bakery arrives for a one-day pop-up at Petitgrain Boulangerie in Santa Monica on Monday, October 13, beginning at 8:00 a.m. and running until sold out.
The event will take place at 1209 Wilshire Boulevard, where Crumbs and Flakes will showcase an inventive menu of croissants, danishes, breads, and cakes that blend Asian flavors with classic pastry techniques.
The bakery’s offerings will include croissant flavors such as Black Sesame Almond with Roasted Strawberries, Mixed Berry Ginger Danish, and Miso Caramel Apple Almond Danish, along with a Filipino-inspired Ensaymada topped with cheese and sugar. Guests can also expect creative combinations like Pistachio Jujube Snail, Garlic Chinese Broccoli, and Asian Pear with Japanese Sweet Potato pastries.
The bread, cake, and pie selection will feature equally imaginative options, including an Ube Banana Jackfruit Poptart, gluten-free Pandan Raspberry Coconut Mochi Cake, Ube Blueberry Coconut Bread, and a Kabocha (Japanese pumpkin) Piloncillo Pie.
The pop-up is hosted by Petitgrain Boulangerie, a Santa Monica bakery known for the excellence of its small-batch bread and pastries. Quantities are limited, and those in know know that arriving early is the best idea.
