LA | The Best Croissant I’ve Ever Had 🥐💖

This is truly next-level delicious! I’m usually not the biggest croissant fan, but Artisanal Goods by CAR in Pasadena made every calorie feel totally worth it.🎶 I arrived later in the day, so the croissants weren’t fresh out of the oven, and the morning selection was mostly gone—but even at room temperature, they were absolutely stunning. The chocolate croissant is a must-try: rich, high-quality chocolate wrapped in layers of buttery, shatteringly crisp pastry. Another standout (I forgot the name but it sells fast!) had a soft, fluffy interior and a delicate sugar crust sprinkled with salt flakes—creating the most perfect sweet-salty balance. I’m already planning my return trip to try their savory options, which I’ve heard are equally impressive. If you love flaky, buttery, thoughtfully crafted pastries, this place is a pilgrimage-worthy stop. 🧈✨ 📍 Artisanal Goods by CAR – Pasadena #LAEats #PasadenaBakeries #BestCroissant #ArtisanalPastries #ButterLovers #FoodieFind #FrenchBakeryLA #SweetAndSalty #BakerLife #LAFoodScene
