"After taking a quick glance at the glass display cases showing off elaborately designed desserts and pastries, it’s easy to think that you might have stumbled into a high-end jewelry store instead of a bakery. But you’re not at Jared—you’re at Bachour. As you browse the petite gateaux, grab a croissant. Bachour’s croissants may be the puffiest on this guide, and somehow defy physics by being simultaneously floaty and hefty. Soft and with a delicate flavor, these croissants have a picturesque honeycomb interior worthy of the embarrassment you’ll later feel when you go to show your friend photos from that boat day, but you instead end up having to scroll through hundreds of photos of beautifully tanned dough first." - Charlie Crespo
