croissants

Sunday morning is sweet in the park with an almond croissant.

always fresh

The chocolate ones are especially delicious.

It's a small cafe on St. Clair and they have the best croissants......the real thing. There are only 4 tables but it's worth the wait for a yummy European cafe and croissant.

it is so soft and flakey, wonderful flavours too

The best. It is as good or better than some patisseries in Paris (although not better than this little place on rue de Seine in the 6e whose name I can't remember). It is better than Jules or Rahier, and much better than patachou, bonjour brioche, or anywhere else. Unfortunately, I prefer the tarts at Rahier (those at Celestin use crushed almonds or almond paste) although the item at Celestin with puff pastry, creme patissiere, and apricots is quite simply my favourite thing to eat, period.

Best Croissants for sandwiches...

The atmosphere is friendly and comforting, because Jules makes the most delictable croissants, because his lattes kick butt, and because they're just up the street from me.

They make superb mousses, tarts, eclairs, petits fours, cakes and everything in between, but they won my heart for their soft-yet-crispy-and-flaky, buttery, buttery croissants.
