Cronut Bakery Finally Opens In UK, Londoners Queue From 5am To Try It

The holy grail of the pastry world, the cronut, has officially come to the UK and it seems we’ve all gone utterly potty for it. 

The croissant-doughnut hybrid, created by Dominique Ansel, is famed for causing New Yorkers to queue for hours when it hit Manhattan in 2013.

Now, foodies in London are doing the same.

Some people got in the queue at 5am...

Others couldn’t contain their excitement.

But does the cronut live up to the hype?

While some on Instagram were impressed...

Others on Twitter thought it was overrated. 

We’ll be waiting until the queues die down to find out for ourselves.
