  • After much drooling over insta pics, I finally got over to Butter Baker today for a lemon meringue croissant. I WAS EXCITED ABOUT THIS. Ok, I was less excited when I learned that they were affiliated with Butter Ave, which is completely MEH. But still, the lemon meringue croissant just looks so pretty!! I wanted it. At $5.60, it was definitely more expensive than I expected. I don't usually do my reviews this way, but this pastry was so modular, I'm going to do a modular review: 1. Croissant - Just fine. Nothing special. Not the most buttery, not the flakiest, not the most golden - this was a plain, middle of the road croissant. Grade: C 2. Lemon Curd - Just fine. Lemony enough. Good texture. Not overly sweet. But just ok. Couldn't really tell if this is piped into the croissant or if they cut a channel, but either way, there could be more of it. Grade: C+ 3. Meringue - Not really meringue. Meringue has that nice shell to it, that unique textural element of torched meringue crust giving way to the soft meringue interior. Like a crusty cloud! I wish I'd gone to pastry school right now to have a stronger meringue vocabulary, but I eat enough of the stuff to know what I'm talking about. This is not meringue, this is like marshmallow fluff. Torched marshmallow fluff is not meringue. Why does this matter? Because actual meringue adhers to a pastry - it becomes part of the pastry. Whatever this stuff is, I don't know, wannabe meringue, just sits on top and falls off - as this did - 2 bites in. That's right, the meringue slid off onto the ground. It was so fast, it got all over my jeans too, there was nothing I could do to stop it. See pics. Grade: D I reviewed this modularly, as it is what it is - a croissant, with some lemon curd, and some meringue-esque topping. This does not make a lemon meringue croissant, as that would involve the components melding together into greater whole and not falling on the ground. Pretty disappointing. Overall grade: C- What this croissant would cost in any other city: $3.50. What it should cost here, assuming actual meringue: $4.50 tops. In its current state, with faker meringue: not really worth buying. Hope that they can improve their meringue and their meringue adhesion in the future.
