Croissant Supplier in Abu Dhabi: Bulk Orders for Cafés and Offices

Farah Bakery supplies croissants to cafés, hotels, offices and event buyers in Abu Dhabi: we bake five croissants to order in our Dubai Silicon Oasis kitchen, at 14 to 19 AED each in our online shop, and deliver them between 2 pm and 8 pm, the earliest two days after you order. Delivery is 20 AED below 150 AED and free from 150 AED, with no minimum order, so eleven plain croissants at 154 AED arrive with free delivery. Regular supply, with its own pricing, days and notice, is agreed when you contact us.

Every croissant we bake is for eating the day it arrives, and an Abu Dhabi delivery arrives in the afternoon, so this page plans around that afternoon. For supply inside Dubai, see our croissant supplier guide for Dubai.

Does Farah supply croissants to businesses in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. We bake to order in our kitchen in Dubai Silicon Oasis and deliver to Abu Dhabi, as a shop order or as regular supply agreed with us directly.

• A shop order. Through the shop, at shop prices and with no minimum order; this is also how to run a trial.
• Regular supply. For croissants on set days, message us through our contact page; quantities, pricing, delivery days and notice are agreed from there.
• The business range. Our wholesale page lists what we bake for businesses, without prices.

There is no Farah shop in Abu Dhabi; our shop is online. The plain croissant is laminated by hand into 27 layers of butter and baked each morning for the day an order is due; how lamination makes or breaks a croissant explains the rest.

Which croissants can you order, and what do they cost?

Five, all on the same laminated butter dough, at 14 to 19 AED each in our croissant collection.

• Croissant, 14 AED. Plain, and the one we judge every batch by, because no filling or glaze hides a lamination fault.
• Chocolate Croissant, 16 AED. Baked and cooled, then dipped in tempered dark chocolate, so the layers stay dry; it holds up best of our croissants over a few hours. See why it is dipped after baking.
• Cookie Croissant, 16 AED. Baked twice, for a sandy, biscuit-like lid over flaky layers, and much less forgiving of sitting around; see the cookie croissant guide.
• Almond Cream Croissant, 18 AED. Filled with frangipane, topped with toasted almonds and baked again, so it eats denser than the plain one. More in our almond croissant guide.
• Pistachio Croissant, 19 AED. Filled with creamy pistachio paste and finished with crushed pistachios and a light glaze; see the pistachio croissant guide.

Allergens. The Almond Cream Croissant and the Pistachio Croissant contain nuts, the almond frangipane is bound with egg, and all five are made with wheat flour and butter; our product descriptions are not full ingredient lists. Our kitchen handles wheat, gluten, eggs, dairy, nuts, peanuts, soy, sesame and seeds, and we cannot guarantee that any item is free from traces of these. If anyone you serve has an allergy or intolerance, tell us before you order and we will tell you honestly whether we can serve them safely.

When do croissants arrive in Abu Dhabi?

Between 2 pm and 8 pm on the date you choose, and the earliest date is two days after you order.

• Choose Abu Dhabi as the emirate. Checkout replaces the Dubai windows with four consecutive dates, each between 2 pm and 8 pm: order on a Sunday and it offers Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
• No next-day or same-day delivery. Abu Dhabi orders go out with our courier partner, who needs a full day's notice.
• Check the date before you pay. The earliest date is preselected.

Delivery costs the same as in Dubai: 20 AED on a bag below 150 AED, and nothing from 150 AED. Our delivery page covers receiving and what to do if a delivery goes wrong; bread delivery to Abu Dhabi covers household orders.

Will croissants still be good after an afternoon delivery?

Yes, for that afternoon and evening; not for the next morning, unless they are plain croissants frozen the day they arrive. Unpack them as soon as they arrive, then follow each croissant's own rule:

• Croissant. Keep it in a paper bag at room temperature, not in a sealed plastic box or the fridge, and eat it the day it arrives. For longer, wrap and freeze it the same day, then revive it straight from frozen at 160 to 170°C for five to six minutes.
• Chocolate Croissant. Keep it at room temperature in paper and eat it the day it arrives. The fridge brings on sugar bloom and freezing dulls the tempered shell, so do not keep it for later. If you warm it, give it three minutes at 150°C, then ten minutes undisturbed so the shell firms again.
• Cookie Croissant. Leave it loosely covered rather than wrapped, because the topping draws moisture from the air. To revive one, five to six minutes at about 180°C, unwrapped, then two or three minutes' rest. Never a microwave.
• Almond Cream Croissant. Keep it in paper rather than a sealed plastic box, and eat it the day it is baked if you can. If it has softened, four to five minutes at 160°C brings the shatter back. Never a microwave.
• Pistachio Croissant. Keep it in paper at room temperature, out of the sun and out of the fridge. If it has softened, three to four minutes in a 150 to 160°C oven, away from the grill element, then five to ten minutes' rest.

The order can arrive at any point in the window, so name someone who will be there from 2 pm to 8 pm: we cannot replace fresh items left uncollected or unrefrigerated.

Which uses suit an Abu Dhabi croissant order?

Uses that can start whenever the delivery arrives that afternoon or evening, plus next-morning service from plain croissants frozen on arrival. A shop order can arrive at any point between 2 pm and 8 pm, so do not time a meeting with a fixed start to it.

• A café's afternoon and evening counter. Croissants go out when the delivery arrives and sell through the rest of that day, not held over. Lean on plain croissants and the Chocolate Croissant, which holds up best over a few hours.
• An evening event that starts after 8 pm. The delivery window has closed by then, but the croissants may have arrived at 2 pm. Lean on the Chocolate Croissant, which holds up best over a few hours, and revive any Cookie Croissants before serving: five to six minutes at about 180°C, unwrapped, then two or three minutes' rest.
• The next morning, or any fixed-time meeting. Plain croissants only, delivered the day before: freeze them that day and revive them straight from frozen at 160 to 170°C for five to six minutes, which needs an oven where you serve them.

For the next day's bread, a sourdough loaf such as the Country Sourdough Loaf keeps far better than any croissant; see our sourdough supplier page for Abu Dhabi. For a one-off event, send the details through the Bring Farah to your event form; we reply within one working day and will tell you what is possible.

How many croissants should you order, and what does delivery cost?

One croissant per confirmed person for a meeting or event; for a café, what you can sell that afternoon and evening, plus any plain ones you will freeze. The cost is the sum of the shop prices, plus 20 AED delivery on a bag below 150 AED.

Four worked orders at today's shop prices:

• Ten plain croissants: 140 AED, or 160 AED with delivery. An eleventh takes the bag to 154 AED with free delivery, 6 AED less.
• An evening gathering for eleven: four Croissants (56 AED), three Chocolate Croissants (48 AED), two Almond Cream Croissants (36 AED) and two Pistachio Croissants (38 AED) come to 178 AED, so delivery is free.
• A café's afternoon counter: eight Croissants (112 AED) and four Chocolate Croissants (64 AED) come to 176 AED, with free delivery.
• Plain croissants for the next morning: twenty Croissants come to 280 AED; serve some that afternoon and freeze the rest on arrival.

Put the almond and pistachio croissants on their own plate with their own tongs. Each order pays its own fee, so combine orders going to one address. For mixed trays inside Dubai, see our croissant catering guide.

Payment is on PayPal's page, where a credit or debit card works, usually without a PayPal account; prices are shown in AED and settled in US dollars.

How do you start regular croissant supply to Abu Dhabi?

Look at the range, place a trial order to your Abu Dhabi address, then tell us what regular supply would look like.

1. Look at the range on the wholesale page.
2. Place a trial order through the shop. Choose Abu Dhabi as the emirate, tick "Delivering to a company / business?", pin the entrance on the map and name the receiver in the notes for the baker.
3. Tell us about regular supply through the contact page: your type of business, which croissants, roughly how many, which days and who receives them.
4. Trial at real volume. Judge real deliveries rather than a tasting: whether they arrive inside the window, how the croissants eat at the hour you serve them, and how frozen plain croissants revive for your mornings.

Pricing for regular volume, delivery days, the notice we need, who receives each delivery and what happens when something goes wrong are agreed with you directly rather than published. Our guide to choosing a wholesale bakery supplier lists the questions worth asking any supplier, us included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you deliver croissants in bulk to Abu Dhabi?

Yes. We bake all five croissants to order in Dubai Silicon Oasis and deliver them to Abu Dhabi between 2 pm and 8 pm. A shop order has no minimum, and delivery is free from 150 AED; regular supply is agreed through our contact page.

What time do croissants arrive in Abu Dhabi, and how far ahead must I order?

They arrive between 2 pm and 8 pm, at any point in that window. Order at least two days ahead: our courier partner needs a full day's notice, so the earliest date is two days after you order, and checkout offers four consecutive dates from then.

Can I freeze croissants delivered to Abu Dhabi for the next morning?

The plain Croissant, yes: wrap and freeze it the day it arrives, then revive it straight from frozen at 160 to 170°C for five to six minutes. Do not freeze the Chocolate Croissant, because freezing dulls its tempered shell.

Which of your croissants contain nuts?

Two of the five: the Almond Cream Croissant, filled with a frangipane of ground almonds and topped with toasted almonds, and the Pistachio Croissant, filled with pistachio paste and topped with crushed pistachios. Our kitchen also handles nuts and peanuts, so we cannot guarantee any croissant is free from traces; ask us before ordering for anyone with an allergy.

What are your wholesale croissant prices for Abu Dhabi?

Pricing for regular supply is not published; it is agreed with you directly when you get in touch. In our online shop, croissants cost 14 to 19 AED each, with no minimum order and free delivery from 150 AED.
