The Best Croissants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Yes, this is the Cronut place, and yes, it sometimes boasts a pretty impressive line. But the Soho spot also has a fantastic plain croissant, and if you come on a weekday morning, you probably won’t have to wait for it. It’s less flaky and more airy than some of the other croissants on this list, but that just means that more of the caramel-colored pastry will end up in your mouth. (As opposed to your shirt, which is always slightly embarrassing.) This is one of the most expensive croissants on the list, but what do you expect from the bakery that trademarked the word Cronut?" - willa moore, bryan kim, sonal shah, will hartman
