Although croissants are not historical staples in the typical Indo-Pakistani diet, they have gained popularity among the younger generations.
The ideal croissant is crescent-shaped with a subtle buttery taste and a flaky texture. It is frequently found on the breakfast table, but is also taken as a snack with tea or coffee.
An emerging trend has seen the prevalence of croissant sandwiches. The flaky pastry is used as a base to support a mix of savoury or sweet ingredients.
No Gen-Z kid, especially in Karachi, would reject a delicious croissant sandwich. But, in such a vast city, finding the best pick could be a hurdle. We have compiled a list that could help you find the best croissant sandwich in Karachi.
