"California bakery Alexander’s Patisserie serves the latest shape in the croissant multiverse: flat. The flat croissant evolved out of a customer’s request for a palmier, and after much experimentation, they created a product that is similar to a palmier but more buttery, with a sugary crisp and crunchy exterior. They offer various flavors, including plain, mango, and strawberry-flavored chocolate. The bakery prioritizes innovation and creativity over social media trends, aiming to keep the baking team motivated and excited about their work." - Dianne de Guzman
