Whipped in the sweet cheese batter of the Danish ($4.50) at Grandaisy Bakery are raisins and little bits of pistachio, with scant shavings of candied orange to finish. The whole concoction is nestled tight in a buttery crust, closer to a flaky pie crust than your traditional croissant-like Danish dough. Baked to a perfect golden brown and topped in a dusting of powdered sugar, this is a deceptively heavy number—sharing is highly recommended.
