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.

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.
