This tasty pastry was produced by the 'world’s premier bagel artist' Scot Rossillo of The Bagel Shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The culinary artist was finally able to combine half bagel and half croissant features into one mouth watering pastry. It can be described as a delicate, [flaky, buttery croissant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-toast) baked into a [flavorful tasty bagel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calic-bagels). So much flavor and delicacy infused in one pastry can leave you eating the best of both worlds. This [croissant-bagel creation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philadelphia-cream-cheese-debuts) is currently priced at US$2.95 each. The Cragel only comes in one flavor and customers are limited to sic Cragels per order. Having both amazing pastries in your mouth at the same time infused with buttery flavor will definitely make you drool for more every time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Dual-infused Pastries:** Opportunity to create innovative pastries by combining different flavors and textures. - **Hybrid Foods:** Potential to create unique food combinations that combine the best features of two different products. - **Flavor Infusion:** Growing demand for food products that have multiple flavors infused together for a unique taste experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Bakery:** Bakeries can explore creating their own dual-infused pastries to offer customers unique and exciting options. - **Food and Beverage:** Companies in the food and beverage industry can develop and market hybrid food products to cater to adventurous consumers. - **Artisanal Food:** Opportunity for artisanal food producers to experiment with flavor infusion techniques to create high-quality, gourmet products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Cookie Croissants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-crookie.md) - [Gourmet Escargot-Paired Bagels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parmesan-gruyre-bagel.md) - [Croissant-Cookie Baked Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crookie.md) - [Hybrid Cookie Dough Croissants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-dough-croissant.md) - [Cookie Dough Croissants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-springs-cookie-dough-croissant.md) - [Savory-Sweet Dessert Bagels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-a-bagel.md) - [Savory Croissant-Waffle Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croffle-house.md) - [Cinnabon-Shaped Croissant Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crookie-2.md) - [Dessert-Inspired Cookie-Flavored Bagels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-ncream-bagels.md)
