Thanapat Chirapuntu Pretzel Croissant
Tried their pretzel croissant and wasn’t sure what the “pretzel” was but was so pleasantly surprised by that bit of salt, the crisp finish and I was also lucky getting one hot and fresh which really took it to another level.
Jason C Pistachio Croissant
The pistachio one was especially good! I loved how the slightly salty pastry balanced perfectly with the sweet pistachio cream.
Machachisa Apple Tartin
We had the apple tartin, the chocolate, the yuzu butterfly, and the choco almond croissant. Some of the pastries are on the expensive side but they are very delicious!
