"The true star at this French bakery on Melrose is something called a Mazou, a cross between a kouign amann and a croissant that looks like a cinnamon roll bun that went to finishing school. But La Chouquette's croissants are very good, too, with glossy bands of browned dough bent into a tight, classic crescent. They also do a variety of savory turnovers, tarts, and other Euro-tastic pastries, too. You’d be more than happy to find any of them on a breakfast table at an expensive hotel in Paris." - Garrett Snyder
