Croissant

  • Best Croissant Winner

    Though only in New York for a few years, La Cabra has captivated locals with its European-style coffee and baked goods — especially its croissants. One look at the La Cabra bakery’s Instagram page, @ lacabrabakery, and you’ll see what we mean — these pastries look like the most heavenly, buttery, flaky delights to have graced this Earth. La Cabra opened in Denmark in 2012, and the coffee shop opened in 2015. However, this gourmet bakery brand only made its New York City debut more recently. Even still, New Yorkers have already jumped on the craze of these meticulously- and thoughtfully-made breads and sweets. And of course, the croissant is a must-try when you’re in the East Village.
