Cube croissant trend hits Aussie bakeries

Cubism adds a whole new dimension to your favourite flaky treat. We reveal every delicious detail about cube croissants including where you can get them.

Ordinarily, we’re a bit dubious of baked goods trends, having watched the continuous Frankenstein-ing of our favorite classics to achieve peak Instagram-worthiness.

However, when a treat comes along that promises maximum flakiness while being absolutely adorable, our interest is piqued.

Enter: The croissant cube.

Patisseries across Sydney and Melbourne have jumped on the bandwagon already, with Pyrmont bakery Buttercrumbs opening a second store in Ultimo to keep up with demand for their cubic croissants and #1000 Bread in Melbourne inciting constant queues for their cubes.

Made by cutting perfect squares of pastry and stacking them up into geometric perfection, the cubes are often topped with tasty glazes or piped with creamy fillings like matcha, tiramisu, or salted caramel.

It’s safe to say, they’re a thing.

Cube croissants are often topped with glazes.

So, where can we get our hands on these algebraic treats?

Queensland

Queenslanders can head to the Wheat House in Runcorn for custard-filled croissants in taro and strawberry flavours (which is just the beginning).

New South Wales

Sydneysiders are a bit spoiled for choice when it comes to their square selections, with Banksia Bakehouse at Grosvenor Place, and Buttercrumbs multiple outlets in Five Dock and Ultimo.

Cube croissants are filled with a range of creams.

Victoria

As for Melbourne, #1000 Bread on Swanston Street is well ahead of the, er, curve when it comes to cube croissants, since vegan bakehouse Weirdoughs closed over lockdowns, taking their plant-based cubes with them.

South Australia

Sorry South Aussies, it looks like you'll have to head over to Victoria, or enjoy one of the state's lauded bakeries for a treat.

Western Australia

Our Western Australian friends can pop into Crumbs Patisserie in Applecross for their fix with flavours like pistachio cream and the cartoon-looking PBJ cube.

Tasmania

Unless you can appeal to a friend to bring one back on the Spirit, Tasmanians will have to enjoy one of the city's other excellent bakeries for a snack.
