My workplace spent several months figuring out where to get the best croissants, at the behest of our French president. This was the winner.

Ma France is the only thing that comes close in New England.

I believe they use French flour and yeasts as well. The chausse aux pommes is also 100% correct.

Mamadou’s Bakery made my French dad cry when he had their baguette for the first time. It was the first time we’d been able to find a real baguette since moving here.

I’ve asked the owner about it. I believe for the croissants, the dough is flown in from France every single morning and they bake them in house. Some of the other pastries are flown in daily finished straight from France. They are amazing and the best croissants I’ve ever had, but they come with a ridiculous carbon footprint.
