Cronut Pop-Up

It has spawned knock-offs, look-alikes, and posers, but the original Cronut—and its creator—is making its debut LA appearance to show that there's nothing like the real thing. In celebration of the Oscars, Barney's New York is inviting sweet-toothed Angelenos to meet Dominique Ansel, Cronut creator, at The Grove on March 1, where they can purchase Milk & Honey cronuts for $5 each. All proceeds will go towards the Heart of Los Angeles, a non-profit that aims to empower underserved youth through exceptional academic, arts, and athletic programs. A pastry mash-up with a purpose—is there anything sweeter?
