Our Craft

Forty-eight hours in the making

Every croissant that leaves our counter began two days earlier — folded, chilled, and folded again by hand. It's slow work. It's the only way we know how.

Chef Amara spent a decade in fine-dining kitchens before opening Velvet & Crumb with one idea: bring the discipline of a Michelin pastry section to a neighbourhood bakery that anyone can walk into.

  • 48-hour fermented dough, never rushed
  • Locally sourced organic butter
  • Zero artificial preservatives, ever

Something for every table

Made fresh every morning, with options for plant-based and gluten-friendly diets.

Vegan

Daily vegan sourdough croissants made with plant butter — same 48-hour fermentation, same flake.

Gluten-Friendly

Flourless chocolate cake available daily. Baked in a dedicated area, though not in a gluten-free facility.

Allergen notice: Our kitchen handles wheat, dairy, eggs, nuts, and soy. While we take cross-contamination seriously, we cannot guarantee any item is completely free of these allergens.

Kind Words

The people who know us best

Regulars, offices, and event planners — in their own words.

I stop by most mornings before work. The twice-baked cardamom croissant is the reason I’m late at least once a week.

Ama Mensah Regular since opening

We order the breakfast platters for every quarterly team meeting. They arrive on time, every time, and the box always comes back empty.

Chef Amara designed a three-tier cake for a wedding I was planning on six days’ notice. It was the most photographed thing at the reception.
