How much would you pay for a croissant?

Just a single croissant, no butter, no filling. From a terribly naice shop, to take away.

I was stunned by the price. I promise to come back & reveal it, but I'd like to know what others think is reasonable - maybe I'm out of touch.

A terribly nice plain croissant made by an actual pastry chef. I'd pay £3.

Mumblechum0 · 21/01/2024 18:57

£4 is the going rate here (Marlow, home of the overpriced wanky cafe)

Londonscallingme · 21/01/2024 18:58

I’d expect £2.50ish but wouldn’t particularly raise an eyebrow unless it was over £3

smalltreethisyear · 21/01/2024 18:58

About £3ish from a proper bakery. I would t pay more than that.

FuckinghellthatsUnbelievable · 21/01/2024 18:58

About £3 somewhere swanky. I wouldn’t buy it though, I’m happy with £1 version from the Co-op

637Nivea · 21/01/2024 18:59

£3.00

They are about £3 each in Gail’s.

TootenCarMoon · 21/01/2024 18:59

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it was £5 judging by a couple of food markets I’ve been to lately and a pop into Gail’s.

OldTinHat · 21/01/2024 19:00

£1?

PossumintheHouse · 21/01/2024 19:01

I personally wouldn’t pay more than £3.50, even if it was spun by angels. I’m willing to bet you were faced by a bill of about £4.50, though.

PamelaParis · 21/01/2024 19:01

Paid £4 for one at a posh artisan bakery near me. It was very nice but I'm sticking to Lidl in future!

Was it Gail's?

If so, pricey but I bet it was good.

UnravellingTheWorld · 21/01/2024 19:01

For a single croissant I personally wouldn't pay more than £1, but I'd rather get a pack to have better value

Tel12 · 21/01/2024 19:02

3.50 It's what they charge in a local coffee shack. They are good though.

Alwaystired2023 · 21/01/2024 19:02

I paid £4.50 for a (small one size type fancy coffee shop) soya latte yesterday and even that shocked me

Agree with PPs that c£3 / £3.50

cardibach · 21/01/2024 19:02

They’re about £2 in Costa, so from somewhere actually nice, about twice that? I might choose not to buy one (depending on how they looked) but that’s what I’d expect.

KohlaParasaurus · 21/01/2024 19:03

£2 for a large, freshly made, crisp croissant from a bakery shop counter.

I feel you! Marlow prices. Now off to read the new Marlow Murder Club book 😂

ifIwerenotanandroid · 21/01/2024 19:03

I'm out of touch, then. The answer is £3 each.

£2.50. That's what local organic bakery charges. Any more is taking the piss.

MaybeTooLate · 21/01/2024 19:04

£2.80 at my local nice bakery. They are massive though.

Blacknailer · 21/01/2024 19:05

I saw one in Hampstead for £5 recently, do I win?!

TheChosenTwo · 21/01/2024 19:05

Was going to say I wouldn’t be surprised at £5, I hate croissants so wouldn’t even pay 10p for one 😂

WagWoofWalkMeeoow · 21/01/2024 19:06

I wouldn't mind the price (up to £4 I suppose) , if they were nice, very rarely they are

DragonFly98 · 21/01/2024 19:06

£1.29
