Where croissants live
A pastry shop is a store specializing in pastries, cakes, and other baked desserts.
Unlike a general bakery, which typically sells bread alongside sweets, a pastry shop focuses on delicate confections: croissants, éclairs, tarts, and elaborate cakes.
We stopped at the pastry shop for something to bring to dinner.
