The rating is for my personal preference . I wouldn’t say this is my favorite type of croissant. The body is a little thick and dry. I ordered the chocolate almond croissant. The filing is a thicker paste, I would say I had better feelings before, which blends with croissant better.
They do you have a nice seating area, although a bit stuffed.

We specifically stopped here for macarons. They had great reviews and thought it would be great. The macarons were hard and dry. They were very pricey at 3.75 each and definitely not worth it. It was very disappointing.
Staff was very friendly.

Hendrickx Belgian Bread Crafter is such a gem. An amazing bakery with the fluffiest croissants and genuinely solid coffee. I was working next door for a week and getting to stop in every morning felt like a small daily luxury.
I did not get the chance to try their sandwiches which I regret because everything looked incredible, so that alone is reason enough to come back. I am absolutely returning for more.
Also the man working there was so sweet and welcoming it honestly made the experience. He kind of looks like someone out of a baroque painting somehow warm + timeless. One of those places that makes a city feel special.

We discovered this on our trip to Chicago. We loved the prosciutto breakfast croissant and the mini quiche.
We had breakfast there 3 days in a row.
Kudos to the gentleman at the register every morning. He was pleasant and informative.
I definitely recommend this place!!!

I found this cute little place and the pastries were absolutely delicious will absolutely be back to try others and some of the breads. But I had the most disappointing iced vanilla latte ever. There was like 80% foam and barely any drink. If I order a latte I want the whole thing to fill the cup not an espresso worth of drinkable beverage.
The food will absolutely have me back but I will not be getting coffee next time.

Greeted and served in such a friendly manner, this cute little bakery is a feast for the eyes as well as the waistband! The pistachio croissant was delicious but I would be surprised if anything wasn’t here.

Absolutely phenomenal- the croissants are top 2-3 I’ve had anywhere, and absolutely worth the $5 or so that they cost. Their coffee is actually super affordable which I really appreciate. I got 3 pastries (pistachio croissant , chocolate croissant , and apple turnover) and a Belgian coffee plus tip for around $20 which is more than fair imo. The Belgian hot coffee with caramel is excellent and has a perfect coffee flavor and perfect amount of cream & caramel (not too sweet) for less than $3- the same drink elsewhere would be like $5-6 nowadays. The location/setting is cool because you go in the orange door up the stairs and enter this little humble bakery, and the owners/workers at the counter were very welcoming friendly and helpful on my first visit. Their pastries are the real deal & I will definitely be back when I can!

This place is incredible! We have been coming here for years. The best gluten-free bread I’ve ever had and their macaroons are better than some of the finest bakeries in Paris. It is a hole in the wall, but does a study business. True Belgian/French cuisine. Delicious lentil salad, almond croissants. Some of the croissant sell out by 11. But they are authentic and absolutely perfect. Delicious soups as well. Photo of GF almond muffin with a heavenly homemade marzipan bottom. Divine!

I was excited to try Hendrickx which came highly recommended by a friend. I arrived around 9:30am on a Sunday and there was already a line of around 10 people.
I got a chocolate croissant and a gruyere croissant — two items I can never resist. They were $4.50 each which felt pretty reasonable by Boston standards. I thought the croissants were pretty good, though different than what I’m used to. Instead of being flaky, crisp, and rich, they were more soft and chewy. Perhaps this is just the style. I thought the chocolate croissant could have used more chocolate. For the gruyere croissant, it seemed like all of the cheese had seeped out, leaving very little inside of the croissant, so it made it hard to balance the flavors. I personally prefer layered crispy croissants but these were pretty good. I can imagine that these croissants would make pretty great sandwiches.
The lemonade was very pure lemonade — it seems like it was just lemon and water. They gave me a lot of simple syrup to go with it, but even after adding all of it, it wasn’t particularly sweet.
I also got two of the truffles to go, and I should’ve known to eat them immediately — by the time I took them out of my bag, they were completely melted. I put them in the freezer and ate them in their new, flat shape. Even in this form, the truffles were very tasty and I would get them again (and eat them right away)
Overall I did enjoy my experience at this bakery. It was quaint and they have a wide variety of croissants. My platonic ideal of a croissant is the frozen chocolate croissant from Trader Joe’s so maybe I shouldn’t be judging croissants..

Can’t remember the last time I’ve had a croissant this good— perhaps Paris? So flaky and light, like biting into a cloud.
The pistachio chocolate flavor has me a bit puzzled— it was beautifully made and well balanced, but did I like it? I’m still not sure. One of those flavors that has you questioning with every bite. That said it truly tastes of pistachios, reminiscent of the filling texture and composition of an excellent almond croissant, but pistachio. The chocolate surprised me a bit as it seemed almost syrupy in texture— not bad, just not what I’m used to in a croissant. (The picture is after I’ve bitten into it so you can see the green of the filling)
If this review hasn’t convinced you to give Hendrickx a try, not sure what’s stopping you! You won’t regret it!
