About Kwason Boulangerie
Kwason Boulangerie is the rebranded incarnation of Le Dux Patisserie, which relaunched under its new name in mid-2025. The name plays on the French word "croissant" paired with "boulangerie," signalling the shop's focus on freshly baked goods prepared on-site. The shio pan (salted butter roll) has drawn particular attention from Penang's bread-obsessed food community, alongside laminated pastries, almond croissants and seasonal tarts.
Pastries range from RM8 to RM15, with whole cakes starting around RM60 for custom orders. The bakery opens early (8:30 am) and closes at 5 pm on weekdays, extending to 6 pm on weekends. Tuesday is the closed day. Lebuh Pantai runs along the waterfront and connects to several other cafes and heritage buildings, making this an easy stop on a Beach Street walking route. Parking is limited on Lebuh Pantai; the nearest car parks are at Weld Quay or the KOMTAR area.

The butter croissant was perfectly flaky and light — easily the best croissant in Penang. The chef trained at Le Cordon Bleu and you can taste the technique. All breads go through long fermentation for the best flavour. The mousse cakes are equally impressive.

The pain au chocolat was buttery, flaky and soft — proper French quality. The chocolate tiramisu was rich without being too heavy. You can watch the kitchen behind the glass walls, which is a nice touch. Relaxing French cafe music in the background.

Formerly known as Le Dux Patisserie, now at Beach Street. The pastry selection is small but every single item is executed to a high standard. The croissants have that satisfying crackling sound when you bite into them. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

Excellent choice of cakes and pastries. The open kitchen concept is cool. Prices are a touch higher than local bakeries but the quality is genuinely French patisserie level. The space is comfortable with cool open seating. Good coffee to pair with the pastries.

The heavenly mousse cake was light and perfectly balanced. Every pastry we tried was freshly made and beautifully presented. This is where to come in Penang if you appreciate proper French baking technique. Highly recommended.
