All the best buttery, flaky croissants around Los Angeles from a French guy who loves pastries! My go-to is an Almond Croissant when I’m sus’ing a place out, but all of these ranking are based on their plain Croissants.

You can find these at farmer’s markets across LA or at their brick and mortar! While you’re there, try one of their famous coffee cakes too.
