When I was bemoaning the fact that I couldn't find a good croissant in California, a friend pointed me in the direction of this Kosher French bakery in Los Angeles' Fairfax district. I was skeptical, of course, but after tasting one of their homemade croissants, I was hooked. It is the closest thing to the taste I experienced while in Paris that I've come across. The staff is very friendly and speaks a seemingly wide array of language from French to Hebrew to English and a couple I didn't recognize. (I tried to order in French once but the particular salesgirl wasn't interested in playing along and said, "What'll it be?") This little gem is situation right on the way to my office so I have been known to stop in early (they open at 6) and grab a croissant for the road. There is always a windowful of other delicious looking pastries and breads, as well. Someday I'll try one of them but for now, it's the croissants for me.
