$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!
$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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
