"If you enjoy simply staring at croissants, this will be one of your favorites, too. This pastry from West Town bakery Aya has such a golden and glossy shell, it could be mistaken for a knock-off found in a play kitchen. But there’s nothing plastic about the taste—it has a pleasant chew to go with its balance of butter and salt that’s not surprising but never dull. When you want a textbook enjoyable pastry, look no further. " - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
