"Lost Larson’s whole wheat croissant would be a lethal poker player—you can’t guess what’s going on behind its glistening exterior. But this Andersonville bakery (they also have a Wicker Park location) has achieved pastry perfection. Breaking it open unleashes a subtle, seductive crackle, and reveals an immaculate honeycomb structure. It’s buttery, sweet, satisfyingly toasty, and has the ideal flake-to-fluff ratio, so you won’t need an army of vacuums afterward." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
