X&O Patisserie At 27 Boxes
Who remembers that ‘cronut‘ fad that hit the city a little while ago? You know – the interesting doughnut and croissant combination that resulted in a doughy, tasty, flaky and scrumptious sweet treat that had you coming back for more?
We wondered where those disappeared to and we’re happy to report that we have found them at X&O Patisserie at 27 Boxes in Melville! Available – fresh and handmade – seven days a week. Still counts as a doughnut!
