On the savory side, one of the most standout items on the menu is the [croissant lobster roll](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-roll-pizza), which puts a unique spin on [the recent croissant craze](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubai-chocolate-crookie) and the classic lobster roll. Typically, lobster rolls are served in a breaded option that resembles a sandwich with two distinct halves, but in this format, lobster and the other flavorful ingredients used by Union Fare are served more like a decadent topping on the flaky pastry. For those with a sweet tooth, Union Fare also makes a wide variety of premium dessert croissants in unique flavors like birthday cake, cookies and cream, and even red velvet. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Savory Croissant Creations:** Opportunity for innovative and delectable savory croissant dishes. - **Decadent Toppings:** Exploration of unique and flavorful toppings on pastries. - **Premium Dessert Croissants:** Innovative and indulgent dessert croissant flavors. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for restaurants and bakeries to create unique and delicious croissant dishes. - **Hospitality:** Hotels and resorts can offer high-end croissant options as part of their menu offerings. - **Bakery:** Bakeries can specialize in creating premium dessert croissants with unique flavors and fillings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lobster Roll Wedding Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-roll-wedding-cakes.md) - [Cookie Dough Croissants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-springs-cookie-dough-croissant.md) - [Savory Lobster Salad Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-roll-blt.md) - [Hybrid Cookie Dough Croissants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-dough-croissant.md) - [Savory Croissant-Waffle Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croffle-house.md) - [Lobster-Focused Summer Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-seafood-offerings.md) - [Soft Serve Croissants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evana-patisserie-cafe.md) - [Seasonal Lobster Roll Specials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maine-style-lobster-roll.md) - [$1,000 Lobster Roll Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-roll-kit.md)
