le petit jeudi

A small café in Brigittenau, le petit jeudi bakes in a style that joins French and Austrian pastry, and its croissants have a lamination a Parisian boulangerie could stand behind. The person running it learned the craft in France and came home with firm ideas about butter. Brunch is on offer too, and the coffee, sourced from a speciality roastery, gets the same careful handling.

Saturday morning is when people who live nearby suggest coming. The croissants are usually sold out long before lunchtime and the almond ones are the first to go, so getting there early matters.
