My Obsession: Natalie Mault, LSU Museum of Art curator

“My first reaction to the [my obsession] question is definitely Strands Café. I’m completely addicted to the almond croissants. They must put magic powder in them or something. The buttery flakiness of the croissant, the sweet almond filling, and topped with powdered sugar—it’s the perfect way to start your day. I love their coffee, too. You don’t realize how good their coffee is until you try to go somewhere else and realize, ‘Oh my gosh, Strands really is that good!’”
