Dominique Ansel Bakery

I never went to the Dominique Ansel NYC location, so I was thrilled when they opened at the Grove, saving me a 5 hour plane ride :) The presentation of pastries is gorgeous, but you must get here early if you want one of the Cronuts that he made famous. 

Since I never get out early, I settled for his other famous pastry the DKA, or  Kouign Amann for $5.75, a savory sweet viennoiserie made with salted butter.

The flaky layers and caramelized crunchy crust are addictive enough to make you want another pastry or viennoiserie, but I had the willpower to resist!

 I will post again when I finally wake up early enough to get the Cronut :)
