Ritual Coffee Roasters
Serious about coffee? Some of the best small batch roasts you can find.
Beware! These mind-blowing croissants may ruin your ability to enjoy the ones you may know and love. It happened to me, to my wife, to my cousin. Worth it!
Try the plain croissant to get a baseline of what is possible. Then chocolate-almond (it is very rich, so you may want to share).
