    * These are more like a buttery roll. Price too high.

    * It is not a flaky buttery French croissant but for an Italian packaged practically-flaky croissant it is fantastic. I started with a peel test. I pulled on the middle fold and it pulled apart a thin flaky layer. Then I tore it in half. Thicker than croissants but pretty close. Bit into the middle. Felt a lot like a croissant. Thicker but you know what it is. Taste dry against the tongue after consumption. Has that lemony taste you get from packaged bread treats. Taste European to me. LOL, if that is a thing. Only complaint is the dryness. It is not the bread but the aftermath of the ingredients in your mouth. Need to eat with a beverage. I bought a few so I am going to make one into a sandwich and butter and jelly up the other. They are expensive but okay for a treat or a good memory.

    * Sorry but this just didn't live up to my expectations not even close. It wasn't flaky like a true croissant and the flavor was a little flat.

    * I was a bit skeptical--but these had some decent reviews. I actually really liked them. They are on the sweet side, but still tasted good with bacon and melted cheese. I like them with cream cheese and sugar free jam. Will definitely buy again.

    * Delicious! Made my taste buds smile. Slice lengthwise, microwave for 12-15 seconds on 50%, slather with butter and keto jam and...prepare to be amazed!

    * I've been living a ketogenic lifestyle for over three years (112lbs gone!) and I'm so excited to have found these! The texture and the taste of these croissants make these an amazing cheat that won't hurt my lifestyle so long as I limit my consumption. As other reviews have noted, these are Italian croissants which are very different in taste and texture to the breakfast croissants most Americans are used to. I ain't mad about it though. I love the light orange flavor and the fluffy but dense bread.

    * To my surprised, the maufacturer did a great job getting the croissant texture right with this product. The flavor is also pretty good, but I think the berry flavor tastes a bit off/artificial. I'd actually prefer these without any fruit flavor, just as plain croissants. I still recommend them though; they're good, just not perfect -- and it's hard to find a low-carb product that's truly perfect.

    * These are fantastic, I love that we can have our Italian breakfast again. Try them with some low-carb hazelnut & chocolate spread. Some reviewers are complaining about the sweet taste, I would like to point out that these are not intended to be French croissants, but Italian cornetti (or brioche, where my family is from). A cornetto is a slightly sweet croissant that Italians have for breakfast. Cornetti usually have vanilla & citrus aromas, and these don't miss the mark. Please keep these in stock!

    * Tasted OK. Wouldn't spend too. much money on it again. I can get then just as good at our Amish market.

    * I love Ciao Carb products, but this one misses the mark. The texture is amazing, lots of layers and heats up well. But.....that odd sweet taste-unlike anything I've ever tasted-makes this a no for me. Please reformulate the recipe and leave whatever is giving them that taste out of it.

    * The texture is spot on for a real croissant. It had a slightly odd sweet taste, which goes against my expectation of salty butteryness.. but that was it's only downfall. Was really quite good with a fried egg on it. Just wish the sweetness was absent.

    * These do NOT taste like a standard croissant... That being said, they are pretty good. They have the consistency and taste of a storebought Danish, but without the filling. Both my kids, who dislike most of my low carb treats, like these.

    * Pretty good. Not buttery and flaky like a croissant but a tasty substitute if you’re following a low carb lifestyle. I did find the sweetness to be a little much but overall enjoyed and will likely order again.

    * Although it isn't flaky at all, I can see why they called this a sweet croissant - the shape is croissant-like, and actually the texture does remind me of the inside of a croissant when you're chewing it. However the bread has a lemon flavor to it that I don't care for so I won't be ordering it again.

    * I wasn’t expecting this to be flaky like a carb heavy croissant and it’s not. However, it has a light bread type texture with a sweetness that’s not overpowering. It’s a nice low carb breakfast or snack. I’m ordering more now

    * I don't know what I was thinking but this is not like a real, buttery croissant at all. It is more like a sweet roll which is clear in the picture and description of it. The name just threw me off and gave me hope of a real low carb croissant. If you want a bread-like sweet roll then you might enjoy this but it didn't really do anything for me. Too fakey and sweet.

    * I was pleasantly surprised that I liked this sweet croissant. It has a light sweet taste and was very soft. It is a little more chewy than a normal croissant, but for people wanting to eat less sugar & low carb, this is a great alternative.

    * These have pretty good texture, but have a strange lemony taste. The texture is not cake like, and I can't imagine why bread croissants would have a bitey tang to them. I bought 3 packages, I suggest purchasing only one to see if you like them. I'm not going to buy them again, but I will finish the ones I bought. I looked at the ingredients to find lemon and it reads "flavoring" as the final ingredient. I love bread, so I'm disappointed these didn't live up to expectations. That said, you might love them. They are edible, just not for me.

    * It had a weird orange taste to it. I was really sweet and didn’t taste like a croissant at all. I was so excited about this item and was extremely disappointed when I finally tasted it. I ended up just throwing the whole thing away.

    * These are delicious, I'm so glad I took a chance without any reviews! They're not flaky like croissants, but they are airy and delicate. I added a little melted butter on top and that really brings out the light almond flavor. These are definitely part of my regular order from now on!
