My mouth had not yet tasted such a delight until I bit into this crispy yet pillowy bomb of butter & caramel. As crisp & delicate as the autumn leaves outside the shop window, & as enchantingly sweet as an afternoon rain when you have to clean the house but do a crossword puzzle instead. I shall dream of tomorrow, when I eat the other half.

This place is barely ever open so I'm glad I finally made it here for a breakfast pastry. The kouign amann is both crunchy on the outside & yet fluffy on the inside, sweet without being saccharine, absolutely delicious & totally worth the visit.
