In no particular order:

- Plain butter croissant from Bub & Grandma's. Love their black sesame bostock, too.

- Do cookies count? If so, a tie between the chocolate chip cookies from Milkfarm in Eagle Rock and THE cookie at any Bristol Farms location (though the Pasadena one always has them hot & fresh, even when delivered?? Amazing)

- Canyon Coffee's banana bread, which is actually a recipe from Oaxacan cafe Pan Con Madre. Almost as good as Maui's infamous Aunt Sandy banana bread, minus the beach view.

- Anything at Friends & Family, their croissants in particular, which my Parisian friend tells me are comparable to the best in Paris.
