"The Civic Center outpost of this iconic French bakery is high on our list for two reasons. First is that unlike the original location in the Richmond, there’s rarely ever a line for their phenomenal croissants. And second, they serve day-making baguette sandwiches with ham and butter that are great for an on-the-go lunch in the area. The almond croissant and a chocolate chip cookie are mandatory." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
