CAMPBELL, Calif. -- A French bakery called Marvel Cake takes what you know and love about croissants and adds an exciting twist - literally!

Their "Spiral Croissant" has gone viral for its shape and decadent flavors.

"One day, before we opened the store, we saw a big line outside...and I was like, 'what's happening, what's going on,'" recalled Maryam Menbari, the founder of Marvel Cake.

Turns out, a video featuring the spiralized treat racked up over half a million views on Tik Tok, and viewers had lined up to order it. Since then, Menbari sells out of their Spiral Croissants every day.

"We make almost 300-350 per day, and we have a limit of three per person," she explained. "It's sold out almost before 11:30 in the morning, like in one and a half hours, especially on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday."

Marvel Cake is a French bakery, and it's family owned. Their Spiral Croissants are inspired by the famous New York dessert called, "The Supreme" from Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery.

"My favorite is chocolate," shared Menbari. "We sell a lot of strawberry and pistachio as well."

You can pick up the hard to get treat if you arrive before they're all gone. However, if you can't get your hands on it, order another one of their beautifully presented pastries or simply relax in the bakery's friendly environment with a coffee in hand.

"If you come here, we treat our customers and employees as our family," said Menbari. "It's a unique place...it's so important how we present our coffees and the pastry, and (the customer) can sit down in a nice place. They can spend time and they can just enjoy."
