Almmmmmond Croissant

Running late today, and after the sad, sorry free coffee I had at work yesterday (watered down make your own iced coffee), I just had to get a delicious iced coffee from The Bean Counter (Highland Street, Worcester, MA). I also quickly decided to buy an almond croissant. They looked huge and delicious sitting in the counter-top case. The almond filling was just spilling out of the end, and there were tasty-looking bits of almonds and powdered sugar sprinkled on top. How could I resist?

The iced coffee was great, as usual. Medium-body. I started drinking it immediately, after I added milk (no sugar). I saved the sweet reward until I got to work. It was worth the wait. The amount of filling was very generous, compared to some other almond croissants I've had - not dry, quite buttery, and very decadent.

Now that I've had such a good almond croissant, I'm on a quest to try them at every bakery I swing by. I'll start this weekend and do a roundup after I've tried enough to make it worth writing about.

UPDATE The Bean Counter also does a delicious chocolate croissant.
