Pastries are full of old-world traditions, but that doesn’t mean they’re strangers to creative reinvention—and few innovations have made a bigger splash in recent years than the cruffin.A playful hybrid of two beloved classics, the croissant muffin (also known as a cruffin) delivers the best of both worlds: the flaky, buttery layers of a croissant combined with the soft, handheld form of a muffin.
From boutique cafés to upscale hotel breakfast programs, cruffins are winning over guests with their indulgent texture and irresistible presentation. They offer a modern twist that feels both familiar and new, giving chefs a versatile addition to any menu.
At first glance, a cruffin may look like a simple muffin—but slice it open, and its artistry becomes clear.
Each one is made from laminated croissant dough, carefully layered with butter to create the signature flaky texture that croissants are known for. When baked in a muffin mold, those delicate layers rise into a tall, spiraled pastry with a crisp exterior and tender, airy interior.
This structure gives cruffins a remarkable mouthfeel: crisp at the edges, soft within, and endlessly versatile for both sweet and savory applications.
The result is a pastry that feels indulgent yet approachable, modern yet rooted in European craft.
The cruffin is a pastry that checks every box—from aesthetics and flavor to versatility and profitability.
Cruffins fit seamlessly into nearly any foodservice concept.
With their delicate spiral layers and inviting fillings, cruffins look as good as they taste.
Because of their compact shape and consistent portion size, cruffins minimize waste and streamline service.
Guests love cruffins because they deliver comfort with a twist—familiar, flaky, and just a little unexpected.
With all these advantages, it’s easy to see why chefs are embracing cruffins as a fresh, trend-forward staple in modern pastry programs.
Bon Patissier brings together European tradition and modern convenience with two standout ready-to-bake cruffin varieties—each crafted to deliver artisanal quality with no compromise.
The Cinnamon Cruffin is a warm, comforting twist on the classic croissant.
The Raspberry Cheese Cruffin layers the same buttery croissant base with a luscious raspberry and cream cheese filling.
Both cruffins are ready to bake, allowing chefs to serve fresh, golden pastries in minutes while maintaining exceptional consistency across every batch.
Creating authentic European viennoiserie from scratch is a true art form—one that requires time, precision, and years of technical expertise. Between lamination, proofing, shaping, and temperature control, producing consistent results at scale can be challenging for even the most experienced pastry teams.
That’s where Bon Patissier’s ready-to-bake viennoiserie comes in.
Designed specifically for professional kitchens, these products deliver the same artisanal quality as scratch-made pastries while dramatically simplifying production.
As Bon Patissier puts it: “We Make It. You Bake It.”
The cruffin represents everything today’s guests (and chefs) love about modern pastry. It’s innovative yet familiar, indulgent yet approachable, and endlessly adaptable across service styles.
From a cozy café counter to an elegant brunch buffet, this croissant-muffin hybrid delivers the kind of flavor and texture that keeps guests coming back time and time again.
Bon Patissier makes it simple: authentic recipes, consistent quality, and elegant results in every batch. Because when precision meets passion, even a playful pastry like the cruffin becomes a new classic.
