Went to Kouign Amann & tried their signature sliced kouign amann, & omg, it was genuinely one of the best pastries I've had. Perfectly flaky on the outside, soft & moist inside, with rich buttery layers & little bursts of caramelized sweetness in every bite.
The texture was incredible, crisp yet melt-in-your-mouth at the same time, & the flavor was so balanced without being overly sweet. You can really taste the quality & care put into it.
Honestly, it instantly became one of my favorite treats in the city. Definitely worth the hype & already craving another one.
