The Write-Up
Croissant Gourmet is a cozy, spotless little bakery on Morse Boulevard that guests describe as a piece of France in Winter Park. The almond croissant is the star, flaky layers around sweet almond paste, with fruit tarts, eclairs, Napoleons and macarons filling the case. The Breakfast Croissant packs an omelette into buttery layers, and seating is limited, so expect a squeeze when the case draws a crowd.
District Story
A park built for the winter, drawn on paper in 1881, and still legible in every street you walk today.
