As expected, the formidable croissant reigns supreme at this quaint College Avenue locale. But when you’re up for something more indulgent, there’s also the Swiss Twinkie (filled with a nut puree), the Orange Currant Scone or the savory Pate Feuilleté (filled with ham and cheese). Don’t worry, there’s more than just pastries: loaves of bread, cookies, cakes and tortes are also finger-kissing good.
