Social What’s your favorite pastry?

[biscuitsbrah]

So where I live there is a lot of Japanese bakeries and a couple solid French bakeries/cafes. Along with local places too.

I’m no pastry connoisseur, but I have tried a couple of pastries, and I still can’t find anything better than the almond croissant.
You know that almond creme filled croissant. So good. They sell one at Trader Joe’s as well. 10/10

Flaky, buttery croissants are already god tier, but then you add that almond creme and it just takes it to another level.

There is also this Japanese/local bakery that has these taro/mochi kind of gluteny bread. It’s covered in sesame seeds and it’s my second favorite.

My third has to be the scone. A good blueberry scone with that sugary, kind of frosted crust is one of a kind. There are a lot of bad or mid tier scones out there though, so beware of which ones you purchase. My Whole Foods has a really great one.

1. Almond coissant
2. Mochi bread roll thing
3. Blueberry scone

What are your top pastries? And why is the croissant the king of pastries?

Definitely Croissants. When I lived in Canada and I'd go to Tim Hortons I'd always get their cheese croissants

All the bakeries around me serve Frozen to bake goods. Sad stuff man.

I'm pretty partial to a nice blueberry muffin.

Even a sub par croissant is still pretty good, kinda like pizza.

i used to be big into desserts when i was younger. not so much anymore. when i do have a sweet tooth, what is hard to beat is a perfectly made cinnamon roll. in high school the cafeteria used to sell gigantic gooey cinnamon rolls for like 25 cents each, and breakfast sausage biscuits for 50 cents. the cinnamon rolls were so damn good! i'd buy two and eat the second one for lunch haha. my second choice is probably a really good eclair.

I am not a sweets guy

Apple tart. Just like an apple pie, but in a cup-cake sized portion.
