A topic I am quite passionate about. Below are my favorite croissants I've ever had broken down by city.
NEW YORK CITY
The Tin Building - @tinbuilding
Coming here is an all around great experience. It's an overall recommendation to shop, dine, explore and disassociate, or to grab coffee and a pastry - all of which are wonderfully executed I'm sure, although I can only speak to the butter croissant. The layers speak for themselves.
L'Appartament 4F - @lappartament4f
This place is hyped up for good reason. Believe me I was skeptical at first. I was blown away. Pictured above is the butter croissant, pistachio rose, almond, and almond raspberry. With the exception of a couple bites I allowed my Father who accompanied me there, I polished off this entire box. They are opening their first Manhattan location soon!
Maman - @_mamannyc_
When looking for a nice place to sit and enjoy a drink and pastry on beautiful plates Maman is always a safe bet. It's also great on the go and they have several locations throughout the city. Their almond croissants, butter croissants, and vegan butter croissants are my go-to's.
LOS ANGELES
Chaumont - @chaumontus
Flaky. Buttery. Perfection. For a while this was an unrivaled number one for me. They have a separate all vegan bakery next door to their Beverly Drive location. I find myself opting for the vegan butter croissant even as a non vegan. The butter is coconut oil based. It's really f*cking good. I recommend the butter croissants, zaatar croissant, and almond croissant (all available in vegan and non vegan.)
