Croissant Day, All Week at Sunset Foods

At Sunset, we are celebrating Croissant Day all week! From January 28th through February 3rd, stop by Sunset’s Bakery for freshly baked large croissants, 2 count package for $3. Our croissants are baked daily, so you can bring home that buttery, flaky texture everyone loves.

Whether you enjoy yours warm with coffee or tea, sliced for a sandwich, or as a bakery-style treat, Croissant Week is the perfect time to stock up, try a new pairing, and discover a new favorite recipe.

Build the perfect croissant sandwich.

A day-old croissant is ideal for sandwiches, as its slightly firmer layers hold fillings neatly. Slice and fill a day-old croissant for a delicious lunch.

Hop on over to our Deli Department for your favorite croissant sandwich ingredients like Ham, Swiss Cheese, Cranberry Tuna Salad, Almond Chicken Salad, or Sunset’s Original Turkey Breast.

Top your sandwich with add-ons like jams, goat cheese spreads, or sharp cheddar. For a classic favorite, try ham & swiss.

Stock up and save: how to keep croissants fresh.

Although best fresh to enjoy their buttery, flaky texture, croissants can be frozen and used later.

• Do not refrigerate croissants. The air inside your refrigerator will dry out the croissant.
• For best results, tightly wrap croissants in plastic wrap, then freeze.
• To refresh from frozen, warm them in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes until heated through.

If planning ahead for lunches, freeze extras the day you buy them, then refresh as needed.

FAQ

When is National Croissant Day?

National Croissant Day is celebrated on January 30 each year. At Sunset Foods, we celebrate Croissant Day all week, so you have more time to enjoy fresh bakery croissants and build your favorite sandwiches.

How to keep croissants fresh for 2 days?

Store croissants at room temperature in an airtight bag or tightly wrapped. Do not refrigerate them, since refrigerator air dries them out faster. For the freshest results, freeze extras right away and refresh in the oven when you are ready to eat.

How long do croissants last?

Croissants are best the day they are baked. At room temperature, they are typically at their best for 1–2 days if stored tightly wrapped. For longer storage, freezing is the best option.

Where did croissants originate?

Croissants are most closely associated with France, where they became a bakery staple, inspired by earlier crescent-shaped pastries in Central Europe. Over time, French bakers developed the laminated, buttery style most people know today.

Why are croissants so good?

Croissants get their signature flavor and texture from laminated dough, which creates many thin layers of butter and pastry. When baked, those layers become crisp and flaky on the outside and tender inside.

How to keep croissants fresh longer?

Freeze them. Tightly wrap each croissant in plastic wrap, then freeze. When you are ready, warm them at 350°F for a few minutes until warmed through.
