In May, the Dominique Ansel Bakery unleashed the cronut into the wild of New York City: A croissant-donut hybrid with flaky layers and creamy filling, topped with frosting and coming in monthly flavor editions, beginning with the Rose Vanilla of May and currently, available in a Fig Mascarpone for September.

It’s been more than four months since the birth of the cronut, and the bakery still sells out of the coveted pastry within minutes after opening at 8 a.m. The line outside still stretches around the block daily, with those at the front arriving around 5 a.m. Outside New York, however, the commotion around the cronut has quieted down.

But those in Boston who are still curious about the cronut should take note—the elusive pastry is now available at Cafe de Boston in the Financial District starting today. The company tweeted out the announcement this morning:

The Cafe de Boston version of the cronut, which seems to be simply titled the “Croissant Donut,” comes in vanilla and chocolate flavors and costs $2.95. While Cafe de Boston is touting their flaky pastry version as the first croissant-plus-donut pastry to hit Boston, I’m reminded of the Crumbnuts, a cronut knockoff from Crumbs Bake Shop, available downtown and in the South Shore Plaza Mall.

Whether they’re the first edition of cronuts to hit the city or not, Cafe de Boston’s version is likely delicious and definitely worth a try, even just to see what all the fuss is over. Even if the cronut-inspired craze that lasted throughout the summer has been swiftly and largely replaced in the limelight by the return of everything pumpkin—from the lattes and beers, to the M&Ms, to the things we can’t believe actually exist. So, we’ll have to wait and see if anyone in Boston is interested enough to flock to the restaurant (located at 75 Federal Street) or wait in line for the pastry.

If it was a pumpkin-flavored cronut, however, that would be a different story, if the world could even handle such a powerful invention.
