New York Sohođ Orange Almond Cakes đ„
This croissant spot seems pretty underrated, but the reviews are all greatâpeople say itâs light and fresh, and the pastries look nice too. Iâve been wanting to try it for ages, but after finally tasting it⊠I guess everyoneâs taste really is different! đ đŽ Rafâs đ 290 Elizabeth St, New York, NY 10012 Itâs actually a restaurant, and itâs really cuteâvery cozy and chic. As soon as you walk in, you can see their baked goods displayed. đ„ I tried the ăorange almond croissantăâwhich is basically an orange đ almond croissant, as the name suggests. The middle is stuffed with tons of sticky, orange-flavored almond cream. Itâs super sweet and moist, so the whole croissant isnât crispy at all. The almond flavor isnât strong enough eitherâitâs totally overpowered by the orange. Overall, itâs just fruity and sweet, and with the croissant being soft (not crispy) and a bit greasy, it just wasnât my thing. The next day at home, I popped it in the air fryer, and it started oozing oilâyikes! đŹ I didnât get the âlightâ or âfreshâ vibe people mentioned online. Honestly, I think it mightâve been better without all that filling. But as an almond croissant, adding orange flavor does make it unique. If you love fruity pastries, you might want to give it a try! đ #NYC #NYCFood #NYC #NYCStudyAbroad #NYCDaily #NYCBread #Croissant #AlmondCroissant #NYCWeekend #NYCRestaurants
