    That looks tasty!

    There are a bunch of places in the area here (central NJ). There's an Italian pastry shop (only had a couple things there but it was very good), a cheesecake shop (very tasty and reasonable serving size too!), a cupcake shop (they have special treats every day and make the best bread pudding I've ever had and their cupcakes are fantastic), a very good bakery with fantastic croissants, scones, and cupcakes, and a fantastic donut shop. Then a few mediocre bakeries I no longer go to.

    Then there's Princeton with some more delicious bakeries/pastry shops, and the Whole Foods here actually has a very good bakery section too.

    So, having grown up in France, eating a croissant or two pretty much every day, I'm pretty happy where I live.

    Princeton is by Hamilton, right? There's this spot I've been to right after a baptism and I don't remember the name or anything but they had really, really good chocolate-covered croissants. The only thing I remember is that it was close to a train track. Lol.

    Yeah I'm in Hamilton. So many tasty things.

    Revolution Doughnuts-- Decatur, GA
    They're amazing. They have caramel bacon ones and orange pistachio ones and almond joy-nut ones... Sigh.

    I've only been here once and picked up a few pieces of chocolate. This place is great! I wish I knew about it before my birthday.

    Beavertails "sigh". Used to get to the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto), as soon as they opened in the morning and get Beavertails for breakfast. So yummy! Sadly I can't eat them any more for a multitude of reasons. Tom Thumbs in the Food Building hot out of the fryer covered in crunchy sugar were very delicious too!

    Sweetcup Gelato in Houston, TX. They have a pomegranate rose sorbet that I would at least consider killing for.

    Oakmont Bakery! YUM
    Do yourself a favor and if you're ever in the Pittsburgh area pay them a visit.

    @scastor27

    I have had many people tell me about that bakery, but that is a 45 minute drive for me. :(

    I promise you it's worth the drive! I'm lucky enough to have them dangerously close. You should see the lines Saturday morning...it's like they're handing out gold.

    Ok so this is a regional treat from North Western Ontario...specifically Thunder Bay, Ontario. They have this type of donut called a Persian. It's like an oval flat cinnamon bun with a pink strawberry (?) flavoured icing.
    I lived in TB for nine years and I bought them weekly for the kids and I. Haven't lived there for sixteen years and I still think of that deliciousness...in fact I'd like one right now! Best donut EVER.
