Metro Vancouver Croissant Crawl Returns: Your Guide to 30+ Buttery Adventures

The Metro Vancouver Croissant Crawl is back for its fourth year, and it’s quickly becoming one of the most anticipated fall food events in the region.

From November 1 to 16, over 30 bakeries across the Lower Mainland are creating special croissants that won’t be found any other time of year. The lineup includes everything from a Panettone Cruffin to a Jalapeño Popper Croissant. Mayor Ken Sim even proclaimed November 1 as “Vancouver Croissant Crawl Day” to kick off the event and encourage support for local small businesses.

Here’s how it works: families can pick the bakeries they want to visit and explore on foot, by bike, or by car. Since quantities are limited, pre-ordering is strongly recommended for anyone with their heart set on a specific flavor.
