A few weeks ago I tried a croffle – the inventive treat from Ten One Tea House that uses croissant dough to make waffles – and it was delicious. But as much as I love creative combinations, sometimes I just want a regular croissant. PRB Boulangerie is a good spot for that: It’s about as classic as it gets, with baguettes and macarons alongside various pastries in Parisian-inspired interiors. As I guessed it would be in such a setting, the croissant was just about perfect. The outside was flaky, the inside had super thin, buttery layers and it had a satisfying chew while still feeling light. My only complaint was that it seemed ever so slightly undercooked, like it could’ve been a little crispier and more golden brown. The PRB Boulangerie croissant may not be the singular best croissant in Camberville, but I would say it’s definitely up there as a top contender.
