"As its name implies, Aldi croissant buns are a cross between a sandwich bun and a croissant. They have a flaky pastry top akin to croissant rolls you see stuffed with cream, but the thick underbelly has more of a fluffy bread-like crumb that you can slice in half for sandwiches. A Redditor wrote, "these are my favorite bread item that Aldi carries," a sentiment echoed by many Aldi customers on the same thread."
"As for texture and structure, one Redditor comments, "they aren't light and flaky like their regular croissants. They hold up like a bun ... they are still very buttery though." Even though they aren't flaky the whole way through, says another Redditor, "I was blown away with how soft and delicious they are." They give you the best of both worlds by giving you a crispy, flaky top and a soft, pillowy center that holds up under the weight of spreads, proteins, and toppings."
Aldi croissant buns combine a flaky, buttery croissant-like top with a thicker, soft, bread-like underbelly that can be sliced for sandwiches. The tops provide crisp, flaky layers while the center remains pillowy and sturdy enough to hold spreads, proteins, and toppings. The buns are noticeably buttery but not fully light and flaky like classic croissants. Popular applications include breakfast sandwiches and French toast-style preparations, where the texture and richness enhance fillings. Availability is seasonal and limited, with frequent sellouts that leave customers hoping for a permanent addition to the baked breads selection.
