I would do terrible, terrible things to get a good european bakery in the US. The croissants don't even come close and it makes me sad

I'm lucky that some fragment of French baking has permeated into Canada by way of Québec. We have decent Pain-Au-Chocolat (although they call it chocolatine in Québec) and Croissants in a lot of Canadian cafés and bakeries (small ones, not chains). Not as good as in France, but still decent. I remember thinking I was going to have trouble with continental breakfast since I'm used to eating a big breakfast, but the French viennoise breakfast with some fruit and coffee is actually great.

I also really enjoyed the waffles when I visited Belgium.
