"République still maintains its status as one of Los Angeles’s best destinations for French food and pastries. Margarita Manzke turns every pastry she touches into gold, a fact made abundantly clear with Republique’s impressive croissants. There’s a reason half the city lines up on weekends for a taste of her handiwork. Get there early or else they’ll be sold out. It doesn’t hurt to add in an order of brioche or brown butter cake to complement the flaky, buttery croissants." - Rebecca Roland
