WINNER

"Navigating the Winner-verse can be complicated—this Park Slope bakery drops different pastries at different times throughout the day—but if it’s a croissant you’re after, just know they start selling them at 7:30am, and it’s not unusual for them to run out around lunch. The sourdough croissants are about the size of two croissants laid on top of eachother, and the sourdough adds a savory note. They’re not so buttery that your fingers will be left shiny, but they’ll flake artfully onto your coat, trailing crumbs all the way to your preferred bench in Prospect Park.
