Almond croissants have a special place in my heart...

Almond croissants have a special place in my heart. They are one of my favorite pastries. The Christophe Almond Croissant is by far the best I've ever had, and it might actually be the cheapest one I've seen in the city at $2.95. Life-changing. Last time I went in there they had sold out, but had one mini chocolate-almond croissant for like $1.25 or something. It was mind-blowingly good.

Plus, I tried two things that they only make as special items for Second Sunday (please google it if you've never heard of it!)
A) the French Donut (medium sized, innocuous looking flaky-doughy thing that actually looks like a cronut, but is stuffed with rich creme filling, and absolutely is one of the most amazing things I have ever put in my mouth. Others agree with me on this. I'm not exaggerating.
and B) the blueberry Au Bon Pain (I think) which was like a flaky pastry cinnamon roll type thing with fresh blueberries. YUM.

I just can't say enough good things about this place. Great seating, both upstairs and out back. GO HERE!!
