To celebrate National Croissant Day today, Too Good To Go, the marketplace for surplus food, has pulled together a list of bakery partners in Cork offering 'surprise' bags of pastries.

Pastries are proving increasingly popular with Irish consumers, with IBEC (Irish Business and Employers Confederation) data showing that the baked goods market in Ireland was €914.3m in 2023, employing 7,587 people.

Rescuing unsold baked goods through Too Good To Go means people can get great pastries for a third of the price, while also helping the environment by cutting down on food waste.
