Expat In Split

CROASAN - NOT YOUR AVERAGE CROISSANT‼️🥐...

When walking through Diocletian's Palace recently, you’ve probably seen these loaded croissants, which are pretty hard to miss.

Croasan opened in Split last year and is a small local family-run spot (run by two brothers, with their mom working in the shop daily) that’s already gone viral for good reason.

Freshly cut croissants filled to order with options like Nutella, pistachio cream, chocolate, berries and ice cream. Everything is prepared on the spot, right in front of you, which really adds to the experience.

Not your standard bakery stop, it's a dessert experience, with warm, buttery croissants filled generously, and certainly large enough to share… or not 😉

Definitely one to add to your list of places to visit in Split ✔️...
