The kouign amann was my absolute favorite one that I've had in California. (Only the esteemed Dominique Ansel's DKA in New York surpasses it, and it far surpasses the others I've tried.) It had the amazing flakiness you'd expect from good viennoisserie while balancing both the crispier, golden outer crust with the softer, buttery inner layers. Plus, it was just sweet enough to lift up the fatty flavors without turning into a toothache-inducing sugar bomb.
