(KRON) — Frenchly, a Francophile New York-based arts and culture magazine, named its winner for best croissant in San Francisco. The nod went to Parachute Bakery, the magazine announced Sunday.
Parachute, located in San Francisco’s Ferry Building, received the honor despite opening just last fall.
“We’re still pinching ourselves! Winning Best Croissant in San Francisco 2026 and Best Original Creation is an incredible honor,” Parachute wrote in a social media post Monday. “These awards are a reflection of the care, creativity, and excellence you bring to the kitchen every single day. This achievement belongs to all of you. Thank you for everything you do.”
