I have been supporting this place from day one, at their old location, even before the hype, even before the awards.

You really...

The croissants are super flaky… they nailed the laminated dough. The specialty croissants are FULL of whatever stuffing you choose as is the cream and chocolate chip danish. My only complaint: they had run out of almond croissants… definitely going back. C’est vraiment...
