$3.50
Coffee Mission, San Francisco CA
Omg, this croissant was really delicious! I loved the combo of banana, chocolate, and almond. The croissant was also so flaky and buttery. Noms!

Pain au chocolat – Hearth Coffee Roasters
$4.95
Hearth Coffee Roasters, San Francisco CA
This was delicious. I’ve decided that Hearth is great for coffee and pastries, but not for dinner. I tried being a regular for their weekly dinner menus, but was never made to feel comfortable. So disappointing!
Ham and gruyere croissant – Coffee Mission
Coffee Mission, San Francisco CA
This croissant was really good (and big!). I loved the flaky, buttery croissant and the yummy ham and cheese filling.
Ribeye omurice – Kitchen Story
Marinated minced ribeye, scrambled eggs over jasmine rice, carrots, cherry pepper, spinach, scallion, demi glace sauce. Served with croissant, rainbow potatoes, fruit. $18
Kitchen Story, San Francisco CA
This was a really hearty breakfast and pretty tasty too! Since I’m such a gravy-lover, of course I loved the demi glace sauce (spelled “demi glazed sauce” on the menu). The scrambled eggs were fluffy and soft, but I wish the potatoes were cut a little bigger.
Foie gras eggs and bacon – Le Pigeon
Smoked foie gras, foie scrambled eggs, croissant, bottarga, maple. 5 course tasting menu $85
Le Pigeon, Portland OR
Omg, this was SO good! I wish it was a little lighter (there was foie everywhere!) or had another fresh ingredient, but honestly I didn’t mind too much. I just felt guilty eating all of it, hehe.
Cocktail and rose wine.
Ham and cheese croissant – Bayou Bakery
Bayou Bakery, Washington DC
Apparently, the location on Capitol Hill has closed since I was last in DC. I’m surprised since it was always busy. The space was kinda odd, and filled with an eclectic cross-section of people. I only had this croissant, but I enjoyed it. It was super flaky and buttery.
Croissant and fruit – United Airlines
Cantaloupe, honey dew melon, butter.
San Francisco (SFO) to Paris (CDG), United Airlines
Nothing says, “Welcome to Paris!” quite like an United Airlines breakfast – NOT! This was a veritable slap in the face, lol. The croissant was limp, chewy, and rock hard in some places. And they served the cheapest fruit you can buy. Huh, I’m really not surprised at the quality and item choice from United though. I’ve never associated United Airlines with delicious food or outstanding service. C’est la vie!

Pain au choco-framboise – Miss Manon
Chocolate raspberry croissant. 2,40€
Miss Manon, Paris FR
French breakfast pastries, yay! This was pretty good. It was flaky and buttery, and the fillings were delicious. I have to admit that I wasn’t blown away though. A friend of mine gave me a false expectation that French pastries were gonna absolutely blow my mind. I mean, they were good but I think that some of the local San Francisco bakeries can hold their own.
Medici Fountain, Jardin du Luxembourg. This is a very peaceful section of the garden where people relax on benches on either side of the pond.
Two eggs with millionaire’s bacon – Kitchen Story
Two eggs over-medium served with butter croissant, rainbow potato and fruit. $13
Kitchen Story, San Francisco CA
For those who don’t know, millionaire’s bacon are thick slabs of bacon covered with brown sugar, black pepper, and cayenne before baking. What results is a sticky, sweet and salty strip of bacon that would please any SF brunch-goer. It was honestly the best part of this plate! NOMS!

Coconut bread pudding – Whisk
Croissant bread pudding with coconut and chocolate sauce. $3
Whisk, Charleston SC
This bread pudding was SUPER sweet! I like sweet things, but this was a little too much – it made my teeth ache. The combination is great, but they need to take it easy on the sugar.
Iced coffee. $3.25
Charleston Waterfront Park Fountain. There are usually kids running around the center of this fountain, but I was able to snap a quick unobstructed shot.
