A: Hey, thanks for meeting me here! I've been wanting to try this place, but I know it's kind of inconvenient since it's not near any subway stops.

B: No problem! The pastries make up for it. That chocolate croissant I just had was indescribable — I can't even put into words how good it was!
巧克力可颂

A: True! Have you ever tried to make a croissant? I tried once, and I don't know what I did wrong, but it ended up flat and sad.

B: I'm impressed you even attempted! I'm totally incapable of baking anything that fancy.

A: I feel like that's inaccurate! Remember that amazing tiramisu you made?
提拉米苏

B: Haha, yeah, that's true. But then I tried to make canelés, and the mess I made was completely indefensible!可露丽
