Reason 384 why do you need to get to the Food Hub early on Saturday.
Central Illinois Bakehouse's Almond Croissant starts as their classic flaky croissant, gets dipped in simple syrup and filled with almond paste, then baked a second time and topped with more almond paste, sliced almonds, and powdered sugar. Worth setting an alarm for.
Almond croissants are stocked fresh Saturday morning: Bloomington (212 N Center St, 7am-2pm) and Springfield (308 E Adams St, 8am-2pm).
