"This Park Slope bakery makes a croissant that could win a France-based lamination contest. It's exceptionally airy, with buttery layers that taste like the good stuff from Europe, and an extra-crackly bottom that gives way to a satisfying crunch. There's nowhere to sit in the maroon-and-white-walled space, so we'd recommend getting a big box of pastries and heading to Prospect Park. " - willa moore, bryan kim, sonal shah, will hartman
