Cédric Grolet turns butter and sugar into edible sculptures that look exactly like fresh fruit, down to the dewdrops. His croissants and pain au chocolat are equally meticulous, though you'll queue with Instagrammers to get them. Pro move: book the tea room or use click-and-collect to skip the sidewalk wait.
