Good to know

What is the difference between a boulangerie and a patisserie?

A boulangerie bakes bread, and a patisserie makes pastries and cakes. In the United States many shops do both.

What makes a croissant different from a regular roll?

A croissant is made from laminated dough, folded with butter many times, which creates thin flaky layers.
