To me it is, but deserts are very tied to the local culture, so I'm
sure opinions will differ.

A french "patisserie" will sell both kinds. A "boulangerie" will
almost always also sell croisants (the first kind) even if it sells no
other sweet stuff. For what it's worth, the first kind is generally
refered to "vienoiseries" in France (where I come from) and "danish
pastry" in Ireland (where I live).
