kouign-amann in Paris

3 places for kouign-amann in Paris, picked by creators — with what they said.

• Du Pain et des Idées — Mark Wiens, TOPJAW, Locavore Eats
  A deeply buttery croissant, crisp outside and noticeably denser and heavier inside than most, an escargot layered with pistachio cream and chocolate, and the signature loaf with its crackling crust and airy, open crumb — all of it, in his words, top-tier pastry.
  Heads up: He'd heard the line stretches well outside the shop, so he recommends going early in the morning.
• La Maison d'Isabelle — Locavore Eats, Jeremy Jacobowitz
  The award-winning butter croissant was perfectly golden, crisp and packed with butter flavor, and the pain au chocolat and apple turnover were beautifully light and flaky.
• Bo&Mie — Locavore Eats
  The raspberry croissant was as good as it looked, the praline pastry had buttery layers and a hazelnut chocolate filling, and the kouign-amann was the crispiest, most buttery they've ever had.
  Heads up: They suggest ordering a coffee with the plain croissant so you can dunk it.
