SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — A Bay Area bakery is stirring up buzz with croissants the size of a football.
The owner of Le Marais Bakery, which has locations in San Francisco and the North Bay, stopped by KRON4’s studio on Wednesday (video above) to show off its massive product. Videos of the croissants have gotten as many as 450,000 views on Instagram.
“The inspiration came from a real love,” said Patrick Ascaso who owns the bakery. “When we were opening the last location in Larkspur Landing, I wanted to bring all my passion of the bakery. It was not the intention of eating them or selling them, it was just to show the beauty of a croissant.”
While Ascaso did not intend for the XXL croissants to be sold, when customers saw them, they wanted one of their own.
There are nearly 350 grams of butter in Le Marais’ XXL croissant, Ascaso said. They are equivalent to about 10 croissants.
Le Marais has cafes in San Francisco’s Castro District, Lower Nob Hill area, Ferry Building, Larkspur and Mill Valley. Its various locations serve other French pastries, coffee and sandwiches.
Ascaso hails from France and opened his first location in San Francisco in 2013.
