Croissants – An Update

August 18, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Well this blog is off to a crawling start…

I don’t have a new topic, but at least a few updates for the Croissant quest:

AMAI TEA & BAKE HOUSE (3rd Ave btwn 16th & 17th) has some kickass croissants.  They might be a tad greasy, but the absolute perfect texture (crisp, shattering exterior & light yet buttery interior) makes up for it.  On a bit of a side note, I’ve been consistently impressed with this place, from their amazing cupcakes in fun flavors like green tea & red bean, to their tea cookies (lemongrass-ginger & chai-almond, for example), this place is quite a find.

PAYARD – Nice croissant, but this place is waaaaay pricey and not necessarily better than some of the places downtown.  Decent texture but less shatter effect than I’d like.  A consistent, quality croissant, but nothing worth traveling for.
