Update:
I came in again & the staff couldn't even explain what their pastries are made from in English. I don't expect them to know English but at least have the English translation in store written next to each item. It takes 2 sec to translate that in google translator. Little disappointed with the lack of effort in them.
Loved the pastries - fresh, flavorful, & clearly made with passion. A real treat!
SO good -- genuinely one of the best croissants I've ever had, including compared to the ones in Paris! Lescurier / Alex Platel features beautiful, perfectly flaky croissants with the most gorgeous laminated dough & golden brown crust. The pastries are buttery & rich, but not so much so that it feels overwhelming, which means that, despite being quite large, they don't feel overly heavy or dense. The chocolatine / pain au chocolat also gives an opportunity to try their delicious home-made chocolate, which is phenomenal!
They don't have any seating inside, but they're located right next to a few parks & stretch of streets with plenty of benches. It's a great spot to pick up a few pastries before enjoying a good walk or hanging out outside. I am SO incredibly excited to have found this spot, & I can't wait to come back to try more of their pastries & chocolates!
One of the best bakeries with good croissants & even better pastries. The Kouign Amman & chocolate eclair are also worth trying. They have maintained decent prices despite the inflation everywhere else. We always end up buying a lot of cakes during the holiday season from here!
