Croissants in Kathmandu

Croissants began in the quiet kitchens of Europe where bakers patiently folded butter into dough until hundreds of soft layers appeared. The result was something warm and delicate, a pastry that carried the comfort of early mornings and the slow craft of honest baking. Over time this small creation travelled across continents and found a place in many homes and hearts.

Kathmandu has welcomed croissants with its own lively spirit. The city now wakes to their buttery aroma drifting from cafés and bakeries tucked into colourful lanes and peaceful courtyards. People enjoy them with their morning coffee, during breaks from work, or as a light treat in the afternoon. The croissant has slipped naturally into the rhythm of the city and become part of its growing food culture.

At Pumpernickel we make croissants with the same quiet care that we have carried since 1986. Each of our four varieties has its own charm. The plain croissant is soft and airy with a gentle buttery fragrance. The jalapeno cheese croissant brings a warm savoury bite that feels both exciting and comforting. The chocolate croissant melts sweetly between the flaky layers and brings a familiar happiness to every bite. The almond croissant is filled with smooth almond cream and finished with a light crunch that feels like a small celebration.

We hope you come by to enjoy them fresh, or order them online whenever you want something warm and comforting. Our Thamel outlet has plenty of space, natural light, and fast wifi for anyone who wants a quiet moment to work or relax, and we offer free home delivery so a warm croissant can reach you wherever you are in the city.
