#1 in my heart and soul. Best croissant of all time, including the ones I've had in Paris. Amazing breads (rugbrod is my fave), cookies, sunflower brownie, and really just the queen of all pastries. People love the 2x baked chocolate/tahini and pistachio almond croissants here, and they are good but very heavy (same with savory seasonal danish). The plain croissant is my life blood.
