Christan Jacques Artisan Boulanger

Craved for a nice French Patisserie so drove to this store and wish they serve coffee now. Unfortunately, owner still insists on his/her focus to serve nice patisseries and leave the rooms for the neighbors. Having said that the passion deserves my appreciation.<br/ Walked in and was tempted by the nice looking croissant with ham and cheese so got one and walked across the road for a coffee. <br/ Doubtless, this croissant convinces a full marks from my review because it is so tasteful.<br/ <br/ Last visit: Aug 2018 4/5

Went here with the partner to grab some fresh croissants for weekend brunch.We ordered the Nutella croissant, Coconut and Chocolate croissant, Goats Cheese and Honey croissant (personal favourite as I like savouries), and a Kouign Amann (a Breton speciality; beautifully layered and simply delicious).Friendly service. Casual ambience with limited outdoor seating. Constant turnover of fresh French pastries. Reasonable prices (all four of our pastries totalled to $23.50).Overall, possibly our new favourite French boulanger for takeaway croissants!

Always a fan of baked goods, I had heard a number of really great things about Christian Jacques which is situated near the main street of Kangaroo Point. Knowing how popular they were, I headed there as early as I could, within the reasonable limits of my lunch hour. . Was fairly excited when I saw their menu listed on the blackboard. The nutella croissant especially caught my attention.

Came here to get croissants and I was not disappointed! There was a line when I arrived, but plenty of pastries to go around as the display cabinet was frequently being refilled. I ordered the pistachio&chocolate and bacon, goat cheese and honey croissant. The pistachio&chocolate croissant was crispy, flaky and had well aerated layers of yeasted dough, however, I felt that it was lacking in the pistachio department. There was a slight taste of artificial flavouring that I tasted when I got to the middle and I won't order this flavour again. The bacon on the other hand, was just absolutely delicious and generously filled with goat cheese and honey. I could smell the honey even when I put the pastries in my backpack! The service was great. I'll definitely come back for croissants again!

Best croissants in Brisbane (and better than a lot had in France). The baguette is also crusty outside and airy inside . Warmly recommended.
