"Whether it’s K-pop, skincare products, or the croissant-waffle hybrid at this bakery in Flushing, we haven’t yet met a South Korean import we’re not into. To make their signature pastry, Croffle House takes a buttery croissant dough and toasts it in a waffle iron until it turns into something that’s crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a crackly and caramelized top layer. Take your pick between a dozen or so flavors, including some savory ones, like tomato and basil. Most croffles are topped with a thick whipped cream and various fruits. Get a couple to share—we love the sugary grape one and rich chocolate mont blanc—and eat them at the tables inside. That way you can use a fork and knife to split them, and dunk the ends in a whipped dalgona latte. They also make mochi donuts and egg tarts. photo credit: Molly Fitzpatrick" - Neha Talreja
