4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: September 18 | Eater LA

"I know the weekend will be a good one when I start my Saturday morning here with a croissant and an iced vanilla latte. My former colleague Cathy Chaplin boasted about the chocolate croissants before, even going so far as to name it the “ultimate chocolate croissant,” and while they truly are exceptional (the bakery specializes in chocolate, after all), I love picking up whatever new specialty is on offer that day. Last weekend, a jammy berry danish and a syrupy sweet kouign amann glistened in the pastry case, beckoning me; other favorites include the marzipan-packed almond croissant and the herbaceous spinach and feta croissant. Whatever type of croissant is on the menu, the laminated dough is always perfectly flaky and buttery — an ideal accompaniment to coffee and a slower-paced weekend morning." - Eater Staff
