"Otway Bakery makes the funkiest croissant on this entire list—sort of like if a plain croissant went to Oberlin, started wearing Birkenstocks with socks, and became crunchy. The outside of each croissant is a deep, dark brown, and the insides are darker than average, perfect for a croissant lover who appreciates some nuance. This Clinton Hill bakery also makes an excellent cardamom bun, and croissant dogs on occasion." - willa moore, bryan kim, sonal shah, will hartman
