NYC 🍞｜Almond Croissant as Big as My Face! 🥐

I missed out on trying an almond croissant in Chengdu before coming to the U.S., so I made sure to visit this bakery I’ve had bookmarked for a while. 🍴 Bread Story 📍 264 1st Ave., New York, NY 10009 🥐 Almond Croissant Huge—literally face-sized! Half of it is like a regular croissant back home. It’s flat and ultra-crispy (“crunch-crunch” with every bite), but lacks the fluffy, chewy layers I love. The filling is generous, but the almond flavor is mild—almost like a light custard—and not too sweet. Half was plenty for me. Might suit those who prefer a subtler almond taste. 🥪 Croque Monsieur On the salty side, with crisp edges and soft bread inside. Not my favorite. Overall, Bread Story is decent but didn’t wow me. Their almond croissant wouldn’t make my top three in NYC. #Foodie #FoodLife #NYC #AlmondCroissant #Croissant #FrenchBakery #NYCFood #NYCExploration #NYCBakery #BreadLover #NYCEats #BakeryVisit #NotATopPick #NYCFoodFinds
