Last week, a friend sent us this review of one of Princeton's many bakeries, The Little Chef, with the note, "??? How have you not been here?"
How, indeed.
This week, we've visited Pouchon and his macarons et croissants four times.
More...
Though Serious Eats' review leans toward the long side, and is chock full of personal anecdotes that we happily skipped, one look at the ham-and-Gruyère croissant is all you need.
The Little Chef is on 8 South Tulane Street, between Sotto and the Princeton Record Exchange. You've seen it --it's the hole in the wall bakery that always seems empty.
It's definitely not empty if you stop by early in the morning --the little chef himself says that croissants are typically gone by 9 or 10 am.
If you can't get up that early for croissants (or for that matter, class), we suggest stopping by for a macaron later in the day. We like the chocolate and pistachio ones. These meringue-like cookies filled with ganache are well worth the price. They're $2, but then...so is a Bent Spoon cupcake. Isn't it time to try something new?
