Best croissant in New York

[brownie12]

Where can I get the best croissant in New York?

[ShawnD]

Ceci-Cela's are definitely great.

Ceci-Cela
Spring St (Between Lafayette Street and Mulberry Street)

Here's a croissant tip: buy almost any descent croissant and microwave it for 10 seconds.

I find that warmth beats recipe, and I live near Claude. (I'd rather eat a warm one from Hudson Bagel on Hudson Street than a cold one from Claude.)

Patisserie Claude or La Bergamote

Is it likely that all this will change after the trans-fat ban takes effect?

[NAtiveNewYorker]

No. Croissants are made with butter, which (strangely enough) hasn't been targeted in the latest anti-fat health craze.

Go for Patisserie Claude's or possibly Silver Moon Bakery's.

Patisserie Claude, definitely. We're huge converts.

Claude's !

[saritaeatsnyc]

i'm pretty sure claude's is the best croissant anywhere outside of france. its really a struggle to limit the amount of croissants you eat there.

To make it easy for you, in case you're in a hurry, Claude's on 4th and Barrow.
