"Worker-owned bakery Proof makes some of the best pastries in LA, so it's no surprise the croissant is superlative. While some croissants lean too buttery or too bready, this one strikes the ideal balance. The outside is crispy and fragile, with tender webs of laminated dough right below the surface. Seating can get tricky during busier hours, and the selection does dwindle during the afternoon, so head over early for the best shot at securing pastries and somewhere to enjoy them." - Rebecca Roland
