Meet the Croll: Singapore’s Latest Pastry Sensation
What’s the Buzz?
The pastry world just got a new contender for Instagram stardom— the croll. Think of a croissant that spirals out like a Swiss roll, or even a moon‑shaped croissant, because, why not?
Originating in NYC’s bustling Lafayette Bakery, this treat hit the streets with a $9 tag and a queue that could rival any coffee shop line. Its pastel filling and dripping glaze weren’t just mouth‑watering—they were a visual feast, perfect for your feed.
Now, you can swipe right on this trend before it gets lost in the endless “find that cool dessert” scroll.

La Levain
La Levain’s “La LeBombz”: A Limited‑Edition Sweet Explosion
In September, the quirky baker La Levain dropped a tray of their newest creation – La LeBombz. Eight daring flavours went straight out of the oven, each with a splash of personality:
- Bobochacha – a boozy twist that feels like a cheeky night out
- Matcha Yuzu – green tea with a citrus kick, almost a tea‑cup on a crumb
- Nutella – the classic chocolate‑hazelnut dream in a small, portable form
- And five more that’ll have you eye‑rolling in longing
They’re More Than Just a Bite
Why stop at a single piece when you can pair them into a sandwich? The “La LeBombz” sandwiches are dressed up with tasty fillings such as Parma ham and a generous slab of Emmental cheese. Imagine a sweet‑savory jam‑session that fills your mouth with all the flavors you like.
Limited to 30 Per Day
These goodies aren’t just a one‑off. La Levain makes only 30 of each flavour every day – that’s 240 little bombs per batch. Feeling the dreaded kiasu? (The urge to feel left behind?) you can beat the queue by pre‑ordering online. Grab your slice before it melts away!
Why the Crazy Demand?
It’s a rare moment when a bakery’s limited release sparks an instant fan frenzy. These tiny, flavour‑packed pastries have become the talk of the town, and people are practically lining up for a bite before the stamps run out.
