Galette Des Rois/Croissant/Coffee Crawl & Art Giveaway 👑🥐

This is a 2- part croissant & coffee crawl taking place in Toluca Lake.

*QUICK DISCLAIMER: "Galette des Rois" (or King's Cake; French traditional cake that celebrates the epiphany of January 6th); is on limited offering by the bakery. We will do our best to get this if we can.
If they are out of the cake, DON'T WORRY! We will still be enjoying their amazing (and I do mean, amazing) croissants, pains au chocolats and other pastries by this authentically Parisian baker, Lou, he is Rated 'excellent', and probably top 5 in all of Los Angeles.

Following the pastries, we do a leisurely walk over a few blocks, to the newly opened COCOA & CREME for our coffee and other goodies.

✔️ PLUS! 🖼️ We will be doing a fun New Year's GIVEAWAY! of one of my croissant art prints will go to a lucky winner! 🥐🤎☕️
