A new Sheffield bakery is causing a stir with wacky and weird fillings that would surely upset the French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cafe on Division Street in Sheffield City Centre, formerly known as Cawa, rebranded in early 2024 to fully specialise in the sale of sweet and savoury croissants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Croissants can be bought cold or toasted by a member of staff for a taste experience that rivals the strangeness of ketchup on pasta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manager of the caf\u00e9, Mustafa Ariya, hailed the viral croissant fillings as ‘the reason people come down and check us out.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy not? Why not try something different?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cafe garnered social media attention for their unusual pastry fillings, including Chicken Shawarma, Doner Meat, Wagyu Beef and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outlets like \u2018Exposed Magazine\u2019 and \u2018The Sheff\u2019 have made La Croissantera\u2019s unusual fillings go viral on Tik-Tok, causing a spike in customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reviews of the unusual pastries have been mixed so far, with one user commenting, \u201cfor the record, this place is terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the reception at large has been positive. Speaking to one customer sitting outside who had bought a Blueberry Dream croissant, they were delighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s a really cool place and it brings something new to Sheffield. I can’t say I’ve ever thought of filling a croissant with meats and savoury foods before.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the baked goods going viral, Mustafa has justified the wacky fillings as being culturally diverse and having enough for variety to please any customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
