Which City Has The Best Croissants?
« on: January 08, 2024, 06:35:35 PM »
Pattisiere gourmand La Jolla best kosher pastries ever, not sure if cy.
It's not CY and I highly doubt they're better than at The Reserve in Paris.

No, I only tried the Reserve this past trip. That is the best croissant I have ever had - incredible, but they have a HUGE flaw, they do not last! Bought them at the Reserve and then hoped they would be good the next day for my trip home, sadly not.

The Croissant from Charles -milchig the next day is better

Now, to the USA-based locations, I would say that until The Reserve the San Diego bakery and the bakery right next to the FLL airport have the best Croissants. I have not been to New Orleans, but I hear that is really good too.

Still, those two USA locations are solid, not as good as The Reserve, but better than Charles - milchig. Another good option in Paris, especially for 1+ day, is Sams, solid

The Reserve croissant is something to behold. Just insane!

2 weeks ago.

I had the butter, chocolate, and hazelnut. We may have cried eating them.

Didn't have the raspberry.

I bought a box with all of them to bring home and had the PH Paris freeze it, brought it to London and had the Savoy freeze them, brought it to Vienna and the PH there freeze it. And then the PH Vienna lost it. Or ate it? I was not amused.

It's a poor ROI unfortunately. Takes a week of work, gets fewer comments and engagement than posts that actually pay the bills.

Also have so many to do that I don't even know where I'd start if I did one.

Having these TRs doesnt have a indirect/residual effect? "Look what I did with miles/points"

I hear, maybe start with most recent as memories are fresh.
Suggestion: use a format similar to the product reviews on other blogs but less dry /more flavor

Those reviews bore me to pieces.

AI ? And perhaps a short and to the point TR that won’t take so much time, rather a long in depth that you actually never get to write. Aka perfect enemy of the good
