25 Best Cheap Eats in St. Louis

Croissant fans, no longer do you have to pony up the cash for two flaky pastries if you can’t decide between chocolate or almond. Pastry Chef Nathaniel Reid has resolved this classic croissant dilemma by combining the two fillings into one extra-decadent treat. Reid bakes a (perfect) croissant, slices it in half, stuffs it with almond creme, rum syrup and dark chocolate — then bakes it again. Priced at just $3.75, it would be a crime NOT to treat yourself.
