These circular croissants were first seen on social media platforms – Instagram and TikTok – after it was popularised by a New York bakery.
Now, a local bakery sells them too, with prices ranging from S$3 to S$5.80 for five different flavours.
Origins
The cream-filled pastry, called "Suprême", debuted at Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery, a french bakery in New York, in April this year.
The Suprême comes in a few flavours – Pain au Chocolat, Peaches N’ Crème, Rose Berry Spritz and Corn Berry Crunch – some of which are available for a limited time only.
The pastry blew up online, especially on TikTok where many users shared videos of themselves taking a bite into it or tearing it apart.
Some videos have received over a million views.
USA Today reported that some customers have waited outside the bakery for hours before it opens to get their hands on one of these croissants.
User Olivia Swilio said that she arrived three minutes after the shop opened, and already saw a queue outside.

She waited about 30 minutes in line before she got her pastry, a chocolate croissant (Pain au Chocolat Suprême)
Swilio thought: "Was TikTok right? Is it actually good? Is it worth waking up at 7 am [for]?"
After trying it, she said: "Yeah, it's pretty good."
