"Few places can make a name with both croissants and old-fashioned doughnuts — but La Boulangerie Marguerite can. Francois and Melissa Kiemde raised the bar on an already solid pastry program with an ample array of new patisseries, Viennoiseries, and cakes when they rebranded the bakery from P.J. Murphy’s, which had a more homespun vibe. This classic croissant, based on a 30-year-old recipe, remains a standout for its denser-than-expected, but still delightfully flaky, quality. A second location in Northeast offers a cafe menu in addition to baked goods." - Stacy Brooks
