The Best Chocolate Croissant in Brookhaven

Chocolate Croissant at Crema Espresso Gourmet near Brookhaven

Buttery, flaky European croissant dough folded around batons of dark chocolate, golden and in fresh every morning, a pain au chocolat that's best while it's still a little warm.

Why ours is worth the trip

Properly laminated with real butter and real dark chocolate, in fresh every morning and never frozen or reheated. That's why the layers actually shatter when you bite in.

Pair it with a cappuccino or a latte, and come early, they go fast.

Easy to reach from Brookhaven

About 15 minutes up from Brookhaven, on Mount Vernon Road in Dunwoody, worth the trip for something baked fresh that morning.

The drive from Brookhaven

Distance
7.9 miles
Drive
about 15 min
Measured from
Brookhaven City Hall

The longest of the three runs, and the one worth a little planning. From Brookhaven City Hall on Peachtree Road it's about 7.9 miles: up onto Peachtree Boulevard, then west across Tilly Mill Road, which lands near 15 minutes when the road is clear. Far enough that ordering before you set off genuinely changes the trip rather than saving you thirty seconds.

The chocolate croissant comes out of the pastry case rather than the kitchen, so it is ready before you are. Order as you leave Brookhaven and it is bagged and waiting at the end of the 15-minute drive. Come early if you can — the case is fullest in the morning.

Distance and time measured from Brookhaven City Hall with OpenStreetMap routing. Free-flow, so treat it as a clear-run figure rather than a promise at 8am.
