Le Croissant Cafe

the pastries here pull their weight. that's not a small thing in a city where most cafes treat baked goods as an afterthought, something to fill the glass case while the coffee does the real work. le croissant cafe on broadway in burlingame takes both seriously, and locals have noticed. the neighborhood has held onto this place for good reason. if you're passing through the peninsula, or just working your way down broadway on a slow morning, this is the kind of stop that makes the detour feel obvious in retrospect. the standing it's built up didn't come from novelty. it came from consistency. start with a pastry before anything else.
