The croissants were a bit dry, but the cream cheese filling helped to make up for it.

I'm not a fan of cream cheese, but I loved these croissants. The filling was just the right amount of sweet and tangy.

These cream cheese croissants were a hit with my family! They were flaky, buttery, and the cream cheese filling was perfectly tangy and sweet.
