The Almond Croissant at Crema House is our butter croissant filled with almond cream, topped with sliced almonds and dusted with sugar. It is the richest and sweetest of our croissants. It contains almonds, so it is not a nut-free pastry. Baked each morning in Ottawa, one croissant is a single, filling serving.
