Tri-City foodies can plan a sweet escape for next month in tasting a variety of one-of-a-kind pastries.

Three local businesses — two in Port Coquitlam, one in Coquitlam — are listed among 35 vendors for the third annual Metro Vancouver Croissant Crawl.

Staring Friday, Nov. 1, and through until Nov. 21, patrons can feast on giant, savoury, sweet, unique and limted-edition croissants along the self-guided tour through the region.

"Croissant enthusiasts are invited to choose their own flaky adventure and walk, bike or drive with friends from one bakery to the next to sample multiple special croissant offerings," a news release stated of the Crawl.

This year, interested residents are encouraged to pre-order the goodies as walk-in quantities will be limited.

The Tri-City businesses participating in the 2024 edition are as follows:

Caffé Delish (Unit 4110-2180 Kelly Ave., Port Coquitlam)

Delish Gluten Free Bakery (203-1730 Coast Meridian Rd., Port Coquitlam)

Baklava Croissant (gluten-free)

  • A decadent twist on two classics. Our flaky, buttery gluten free croissant square is filled with a blend of chopped pistachios and walnuts, sweetened with honey and a touch of cinnamon. Baked to golden perfection and drizzled with syrup.
  • Available for pre-order via email: [email protected]

At the end of the three-week festival, a business will be given the "Most Creative Croissant" award selected by Consul General of France in Vancouver Nicolas Baudouin.

As well, one vendor will be chosen "for their outstanding creative interpretation of the iconic and beloved French pastry," organizers explained.
