St. Honoré Bakery

Almond Croissant

Celia Sin-Tien Cheng

The French pastries at St. Honoré Bakery are really magnificent! The croissants are quite large, so I assumed they’d not be as delicate as the ones you find in boulangeries in France, but one bite into the almond croissant and I was in heaven. It is flaky and crispy on the outside, topped with slices of almonds and powdered sugar, and buttery and springy on the inside. It’s not easy to find almond croissants with the perfect texture — a true art form. I wish there was an outpost of St. Honoré Bakery in New York.
