The air inside this charming neighborhood staple is thick with the irresistible scent of browning butter and yeast, drawing guests toward counters piled high with golden, shatteringly crisp pastries. Artisanal layers of laminated dough are transformed into everything from sweet, almond-dusted delights and vibrant guava-filled treats to savory parcels overflowing with melted cheeses and roasted peppers, offering a masterclass in the delicate art of the French bakery.
