St-Marc Cafe | First Beard Papa and now Choco-Cro in N.Am
Jealously rages...turns out the most buttery, melty, chocolate-y, heavenly pastry in Tokyo has landed in North America. In Los Angeles. Los Angeles! Why, oh, why? They don't eat buttery, chocolate-y treats down there, do they? They're supposed to be eating wheat grass and sushi.
If you are lucky enough, visit the St-Marc Cafe in some neighborhood called Canoga Park for their CHOCO-CRO (chocolate croissant). It is the sh*t. No lie. Then again maybe it won't translate well or they bake it all wrong (after all, transient folks will tell you KFC, Diet Coke, and filet-o-fish taste damn well better in Japan than home), but if it's the same Choco-Cro you can find in the St-Marc's around Tokyo-town (Harajuku and Shibuya have bustling venues), then roll on that freeway and buy a dozen...for us. Trust, the Choco-Cro is a more potent aphrodisiac than whatever they say works.
Every person introduced to the Choco-Cro first brushes if off since it looks like a ghetto piece of pastry...but after the first bite as the warm, flaky pastry fills your tastebuds, and as the bittersweet chocolate oozes onto your tongue in a burst of sweet delight...well, shut up, you'll be whimpering like the rest of us Choco-Cro fans. There's other flavours too, but stick with the original. Bonus: The St-Marc doggy mascot's name is Chococro-kun. Cute!
