BRIAN'S 100 Best '18

100 BEST ’18: CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT DANISH at ARCADE BAKERY

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018…

SADLY, ARCADE BAKERY IS NOW CLOSED.

Woah! I knew Arcade Bakery made incredible buttery French pastries but I had never tasted anything quite like the Chocolate Hazelnut Danish. The substantial log breaks apart into a flaky mess. Bits of rich dark chocolate linger throughout and the entire thing is plated on a crunchy caramelized layer of hazelnut. What a way to start (or end) the day. Price: $4
