Building a Plant-Based Pastry Menu: Sweet & Savoury Options from Oh My Days
A well-structured pastry menu should cover the main service periods without creating unnecessary preparation requirements. The Oh My Days range gives cafés, hotels, QSRs and caterers a practical selection of plant based pastries, including sweet croissants, fruit danishes, baklava, raisin scrolls and savoury filled croissants.
The range is supplied through The Plant Pantry’s Oh My Days collection. Products are supplied in boxes of 8, with listed box prices ranging from $32.80 to $49.60 before any applicable freight, tax treatment, wastage or accompanying service costs.

Build the Menu Around Two Service Sections
Separate the menu into sweet and savoury sections. This makes product selection easier for customers and allows kitchen teams to plan production by service period.
- Sweet pastries: Breakfast, coffee service, afternoon tea, dessert, hampers and platters.
- Savoury pastries: Breakfast, brunch, lunch, meetings, catering and grab-and-go.
- Core range: Plain, Chocolate, Almond and Chocolate & Almond croissants.
- Specialty range: Apple Crumble, Rhubarb Crumble, Berry Danish, Baklava and Raisin Scroll.
- Savoury range: Spinach & Feta and Ham & Cheese croissants.
Use a consistent menu description format. State the pastry name, filling, serving temperature and any relevant allergen information. This supports faster ordering and clearer front-of-house communication.
Sweet Menu Applications
Breakfast and Coffee Service
Use the core croissant range to create a concise breakfast pastry selection.
- Plain Croissant: The base option for customers who prefer a neutral pastry or want to add a menu accompaniment.
- Chocolate Croissant: A familiar sweet option for morning coffee service and takeaway cabinets. The Oh My Days Chocolate Croissant is supplied in a box of 8.
- Almond Croissant: A more substantial pastry with almond frangipane, toasted almond flake and sugar dusting. The Oh My Days Almond Croissant is listed at $44.80 per box of 8.
- Chocolate & Almond Croissant: Combines chocolate and almond filling in one menu item. The Oh My Days Chocolate & Almond Croissant is listed at $46.40 per box of 8.
Position Plain and Chocolate as everyday cabinet items. Use Almond and Chocolate & Almond as premium selections. This creates price variation without requiring additional preparation.
Afternoon Tea and Dessert
The danishes and specialty pastries provide a separate offer for afternoon service.
- Apple Crumble Danish: Suitable for afternoon tea, plated dessert and coffee pairings.
- Rhubarb Crumble Danish: Adds a sharper fruit profile to the sweet pastry section.
- Berry Danish: Provides colour and fruit-forward presentation in display cabinets and catering platters.
- Raisin Scroll: A compact option for morning tea, catering boxes and workplace hampers.
- Baklava: Suitable for plated dessert, afternoon tea, gift hampers and mixed pastry service.
The Oh My Days Berry Danish is listed at $41.60 per box of 8. The Apple Crumble Danish and Rhubarb Crumble Danish are each listed at $42.40 per box of 8.
Savoury Menu Applications
Brunch and Lunch
A plant-based pastry menu should include at least two savoury options. This extends the range beyond breakfast and supports lunch, brunch and meeting catering.
- Spinach & Feta Croissant: A filled pastry for brunch plates, café counters and light lunch menus.
- Ham & Cheese Croissant: A familiar savoury format for breakfast, lunch and grab-and-go service.
The Oh My Days Spinach & Feta Croissant is listed at $48.00 per box of 8. The Oh My Days Ham & Cheese Croissant is also listed at $48.00 per box of 8.
For café service, list savoury croissants as standalone items or as part of a breakfast combination. For catering, cut or serve them whole depending on the event format and portion requirements. Confirm the recommended preparation method for each SKU before finalising the kitchen procedure.
Grab-and-Go Positioning
Savoury croissants work effectively in a chilled or ambient cabinet only when the venue’s food-safety procedures allow it. Use the approved holding conditions for the venue and display the product with clear product identification.
Recommended menu formats include:
- Savoury croissant with a hot drink.
- Two-item breakfast bundle.
- Brunch pastry with a side serving, where applicable.
- Individually packed pastry for takeaway.
- Mixed sweet and savoury box for workplace catering.
Avoid describing the product as ready to eat until it has been thawed and handled according to the product instructions and your food-safety plan.
Coffee Pairing and Combo Ideas
Use simple combinations that do not require additional menu complexity.
Everyday Breakfast Combo
- Plain or Chocolate Croissant
- Coffee or other hot beverage
- Single fixed-price combination
Premium Morning Tea Combo

Use product names on platter labels. Include allergen information beside each item rather than relying on a single general statement.
Pricing Guidance for Foodservice Operators
The listed box prices provide a starting point for menu costing.
| Product category | Listed box range | Approximate unit cost |
|---|---|---|
| Plain Croissant | $32.80 / 8 | $4.10 |
| Chocolate Croissant | $35.20 / 8 | $4.40 |
| Berry Danish | $41.60 / 8 | $5.20 |
| Apple or Rhubarb Danish | $42.40 / 8 | $5.30 |
| Almond Croissant | $44.80 / 8 | $5.60 |
| Chocolate & Almond Croissant | $46.40 / 8 | $5.80 |
| Spinach & Feta or Ham & Cheese | $48.00 / 8 | $6.00 |
| Baklava | $49.60 / 8 | $6.20 |
Calculate the landed unit cost before setting a menu price. Include freight, storage, preparation labour, packaging, wastage and any accompaniments. A basic pricing formula is:
Menu price = landed unit cost ÷ target food-cost percentage
For example, a $5.20 unit cost at a 30% target food cost produces a calculated menu price of approximately $17.33 before reviewing local pricing, service format and additional components. Use your own venue’s approved food-cost target.
Allergens and Dietary Information
The Oh My Days pastries are vegan, with product descriptions identifying dairy-free and egg-free formulations. Allergen declarations vary by product and must be checked against the current product label before menu publication.
Key allergens and manufacturing notes include:

Use “contains” and “may contain traces” wording from the current product documentation. Do not describe the pastries as gluten-free or allergen-free.
Preparation and Storage
The range arrives frozen. Product-specific instructions should take priority, but the product listings provide the following operational guidance:
- Store at -18°C.
- Thaw before service.
- Warm gently in the oven where required.
- Product instructions reference approximately 160–170°C for 5–8 minutes, depending on the SKU.
