"Even if you enter the Parisian-style bakery Maison Alyzee fully intending to order a light lunch, resisting the breathtakingly gorgeous sweets in the bakery case is going to be a tall order. Our recommendation is to lean into it and get a macaron or two (our favorites are the passion fruit and lavender flavors), a vanilla mille feuille, and an almost-burnt-but-in-a-good-way canelé. Lovers of chocolate (and drama) should get a triple chocolate croissant. Chocolate-laminated dough is wrapped around a generous portion of Valhrona chocolate, baked until golden, and then the whole thing gets dipped in—you guessed it—more Valhrona." - gabi moskowitz
