Some viewers said that Starbucks should’ve discontinued the donuts or scones instead of the almond croissant.
“LITERALLY THEY COULDVE GOTTEN RID OF DONUTS OR SCONES ????!!!!” one commented.
“Should’ve got rid of the donuts, they’re disgusting,” a second agreed.
Other viewers added other discontinued pastries at Starbucks.
“I’ll never forgive them for discontinuing the chicken caprese and i heard they’re getting rid of the chicken bacon,” one person stated.

“Also they discontinued brownies for licensed stores. Also barbecue chips,” another added.
There is no definite reason why Starbucks discontinued the almond croissant. Items are usually discontinued because they don’t sell well. However, almond croissants were a fan favorite so it’s confusing why Starbucks would get rid of them. Recently, certain drinks were discontinued because of supply chain issues, which can attribute to why this item is gone.
The Daily Dot reached out to Danielle for comment via TikTok comment and Starbucks via press email.
