A flaky croissant, unlike a flaky friend, will actually feed your goldfish while you're on vacation. Indulge in the most dependably delicious pastry with today's Groupon: for $11, you get one dozen flavored croissants (a $22.25 value) at P.croissant in Tempe.

P.croissant's Cordon Bleu–certified bakers channel the confectionary spirit of a Parisian pâtisserie to tickle taste buds with fresh-baked flavors. Customers can choose from 21 crescent incarnations and sample croissant flavors such as almond, cinnamon, bavarian chocolate, and butterscotch. Freshly baked pastries emerge from the kitchen with golden-brown oven tans, exuding buttery richness and a heart-warming smile. Bagel addicts can wean themselves off the dough ring with cream-cheese pastries, and peanut-butter and strawberry croissants deliciously deconstruct the PB & J. Customers should place their orders 48 hours in advance to ensure that each croissant has time to pack its beret.

Though not valid with today's deal, P.croissant offers a menu that balances sweet treats with savory selections such as the albacore-adorned Cousteau sandwich ($6.25) and feta-festooned Florentine salad ($6.35). Polish off pastries with an espresso, cappuccino, or iced mocha latte.
