Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen To Deliver Croissants To New Moms

In Clearwater, the local restaurant has partnered with Mease Countryside Hospital to surprise families with the welcome home treat.

CLEARWATER, FL — In honor of Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen now welcoming every guest with a Honey Butter Croissant, the restaurant is celebrating thousands of new families with the ultimate warm welcome – right as they leave the hospital. Cheddar’s restaurants nationwide are visiting local hospitals or birthing centers this week to help ease the stress of the first night with a newborn and guarantee parents a warm, homemade dinner. Families were surprised with gifts of croissants, ready-made meals and baby essentials on their way home.

The new families received a dozen freshly baked Honey Butter Croissants, chilled and ready-made Homemade Chicken Pot Pies, Broccoli Cheese Casserole and Hot Fudge Cake. Because Cheddar’s believes that there’s no warmer welcome than its iconic Honey Butter Croissants, croissant-inspired gifts for the newborn accompanied the hearty meal, including blankets, onesies and support pillows.

Honey Butter Croissants are the restaurant’s top-rated menu item, and most talked about item on social media. Baked fresh every 20 minutes or less, they feature a delicate, flaky crust with warm honey butter gently drizzled on top.
