Made with AOP butter from Poitou-Charentes, these croissants have a distinctive crispy exterior that shatters when bitten, followed by paper-thin layers and a fluffy interior loaded with butter flavor. Multiple reviewers emphasize they achieve the perfect balance between crispness and texture that most bakeries miss.

This pastry combines the same laminated dough as the croissant with generous dark chocolate bars inside. The chocolate melts into the warm, flaky pastry, and reviewers note the butter-to-chocolate ratio is well-balanced.

This variation starts with the same butter-laminated base as the plain croissant and adds a generous layer of sliced almonds and sweet almond paste inside. The result is crispy on the outside with a nuttier, slightly sweeter profile.

A traditional French lemon tart with a crisp pastry base and smooth lemon filling. Reviews mention bright, tangy lemon flavor that balances sweetness well.

Thin sheets of puff pastry alternated with vanilla pastry cream and topped with a thin layer of icing. The bakery makes this to order fresh daily, ensuring the pastry stays crisp.
