Think churros, and images of beach vendors hawking sugary loops might come to mind. But acclaimed French pastry chef Dominique Ansel, creator of the world-famous Cronut and Instagram sensation blooming hot chocolate (as we covered in December 2016), is transforming that notion. At his new spot, The Loop in Westminster, California, churros rival the finest pastries with innovative, handcrafted flair.
Each churro is meticulously hand-rolled into loops, fried to golden perfection, and tossed in cinnamon sugar. They're then dipped in premium glazes like chocolate, strawberry, white chocolate, or matcha green tea, and finished with decadent toppings such as vermicelli, hazelnuts, speculoos crumbs, Oreo pieces, or fruit crunches. Pair them with house-made ice cream—complete with its own glaze and toppings—for an indulgent treat. With endless greedy combinations, these creations are irresistible. The only catch? It's a single location, so savor the stunning photos on Instagram in the meantime.
