So much win.
The most perfect, flaky croissants I've ever had. I was in Montreal for five days and I think I had ten of them. My mouth is watering right now. I loved the chocolate and ham and cheese (that's two different types of croissants- though these pastries are so good a hybrid would probably still be good), but the best was the almond. Holy shit, you guys. Coated in crispy almonds and glazed/caramelized on top of it's buttery, doughy layers, these things are pillowy perfection. Sigh.
All of the workers were super nice and helpful and didn't act like it was a hassle that my French is limited to words I've heard in Ratatouille. The place itself is like a bakery from the movies. Montreal, I will be back, and the first place I'm stopping is Au Kouign Amann.
