"Sometimes, the yearning to stroll into French patisserie and gaze at the artfully decorated delights is strong. When that happens, head to one of JL Patisserie’s two locations in the Valley for macarons, baguettes, and gorgeous galettes. Try one of the cream-stuffed cruffins (a cross between a croissant and muffin) or a flaky pain aux raisin; you really can’t go wrong when choosing from the abundance of buttery options." - Asonta Benetti, Bahar Anooshahr
