Busting out your KitchenAid was a big enough first step in your baking journey. So it’s safe to say that attempting homemade croissants is doing too much, too fast. If you’re not ready for butter layers and laminating, leave it to the professionals at Le Marais. They’re offering $45 croissant kits that come with 12 ready-to-bake croissants - all you have to do is let the dough proof overnight.

The croissants here are incredible, and the granola with yogurt is our favorite in the city. If you want something more interactive, the breakfast board option lets you pick eggs, toast, fruit, lox and other fixings to create your own spread. The Marina location is the original, but we also like Castro one a lot, as this light-filled corner spot is a bit calmer than Chestnut Street.

Fresh and ready-to-bake frozen pastries available for takeout and delivery.
