Salon Sucré

Additionally, the tiny pastry shop (about four tables) is only open from Thursdays to Sundays, 10am-6pm, and the goods cost slightly more than your corner store. If, however, you're feeling indulgent and don't mind hoofing it on foot or by bike, your efforts will be rewarded. The website's photographs of tantalizing éclairs and tarts don't do them justice; you'll have to taste the creations to believe them. The almond croissant (3.10) is probably the best I've had EVER, with seemingly just the right amount of almonds and perfect flakiness. Paired with a café au lait, this makes for one of my favorite breakfasts. Eric Muller's partner, Katia Barcellos, runs the adjacent salon, if you should need that, too.
