Fodor's Expert Review Cafe Besalu
$
Ballard
Bakery
This small, casual bakery gets patrons from across the entire city thanks to its "I swear I'm in Paris" croissants with buttery, flaky perfection. Weekend lines are long, but if you score a table, you'll be in heaven. You can also, of course, take pastries to go, which is perfect if you're en route to Golden Gardens. Apple turnovers, pain au chocolat, decent espresso drinks, quiches, and sandwiches round out the offerings.
