A butter croissant made with cultured Strauss Creamery butter and flour from Central Milling. The lamination is done by hand over two days; the exterior is deep brown and audibly shattery; the interior is layered and buttery. Fournee's croissant is consistently cited as the best in the East Bay and competes with anything in San Francisco. Available from 07:00 Tuesday through Sunday until sold out.
