"Croissants de France is three venues in one: a coffee shop, a bakery, and a bistro. Although there are some well-prepared breakfast dishes—from benedicts to crêpes —the pastry selection is the main event here. If you arrive early enough in the day, and there are still beignets left, order them before they sell out. The croissants are the star attraction and have been for 35 years (the restaurant opened in 1984); the raspberry version is a local favorite, though the coconut cream is also a delicious choice." - Jennifer M.
