13. Les Madeleines

Embrace addiction at Les Madeleines patisserie, where the kouing-aman (koo-een ah-mon), a buttery pastry from Brittany with a chewy caramel shell and a sweet dense center, takes nine hours to make. It's available in only a few bakeries in the country — no wonder there's a six-per-customer limit. Also excellent: the mocha, served with a mini madeleine. (from Sunset)
