"La Croissette is absolutely excellent! The croissants are beyond delicious—flaky, fresh, and simply the best. The service is amazing—Jennifer, our server, was super nice, attentive, and made our visit even more enjoyable. Even the gentleman who opened the door for us so we wouldn’t get wetter in the rain was so thoughtful. Truly outstanding hospitality all around. Highly recommend! Definitely I will come back! Visiting from Orlando and Dallas, Texas ;)"
