For the folks out there that really know me, I'm a glutton for good croissants - or as the Pompous elite say "Kwessonts". I've traveled all over the country and the world trying the so-called best croissants and I've luckily awarded that honor to a bakery that's located less than a 1/2 mile from my home. Mrs. London's Bakery and cafe is a world acclaimed Patisserie noted for many of her wondrous pastries and deserts.
What makes a good croissant is that buttery texture and flaky origin that melts in your mouth with every bite. That' exactly what you get with the croissants here.
One thing that they've done is stick to their guns. According to their website:
Best Ingredients at Whatever the Cost
The notion that "if it ain't broke why fix it?" has never made much sense to us. We've always felt that if there were a better way of making a croissant or if someone showed us a technique that worked better, or we discovered a new way on our own, that we owed it to ourselves and our customers to give them the best we can offer. Moreover, if we didn't, someone else would. And that includes using the best ingredients at whatever the cost. We're convinced that Plugra butter and Valrhona chocolate make a difference in our confections, but we're not stuck on either. Similarly, we use BIODYNAMIC ® and organic grains in our bread. They cost more, but they also taste better. And we're committed to a wholesome and sustainable agriculture.
The problem with many concepts is that they always eventually drift outside of their original essence and culture. You won't find that here, it's commitment remains focused on providing their customers with the gold standard baked goods and breads everyday. If you haven't been, make sure to take a stroll down beautiful Broadway in the heart of Saratoga Springs, NY and make sure you go in with an empty belly.
