Bouchon Bakery
Just tried the Kouign-Amann. Buttery and sugary and crispy and flaky. Almost like a croissant/pineapple upside down cake without the pineapple. Today we grabbed the last 4 and they were out at around 11:00 am.
Anyone else try it yet?

Just had it this morning. Chickie described it as a cross between palmier / croissant. Someone mentioned the K-M was "too doughy", but I heartily disagree. This is easily one of the best pastries of any kind in LA. No doubt it's a sugar buttery bomb but... maybe once a quarter?

Strangest description of Kouign-Amann I've ever heard, but oddly I kinda "get it."
In my experience it is very rare for Keller's Bakeries anywhere in the US to turn out a sub-par version of any classic pastry and I therefore really look forward to tasting this one next month.
