NY Verdict

PASS

Why it works

Trained pastry chef, five croissant varieties, and quiches that hold up against anything in the West Village.

When to go

Early morning. The croissants go fast.

What it is

A French bakery on Hibiscus run by pastry chef Loïc Autret, who does five varieties of croissant, proper quiches, and the kind of morning pastries that make you wonder why you ever accepted a grocery-store Danish. Downtown location, small space, serious output.

What to order

  • Classic butter croissant — the test.
  • Almond croissant if you're feeling committed.
  • Quiche Lorraine for an actual breakfast.

Floyorker take

Every New Yorker has a bakery they visit before work. This is that bakery for downtown West Palm. Get there early or accept your fate.
