"Every contest has to have a silver medalist, and it has to be Rosellini’s, but this Ballard bakery’s display would satisfy even the most uptight of croissant snoots. The exoskeleton is blistery with multiple wafer-like layers of shatter, intense butter notes, and a structure that bounces back up after each squish. It’s the croissant that meets all expectations when those expectations are explicitly, “give me France.”" - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
