I haven't had a cronut, but I did have the knock off "Cro-Dough" from Gregory's Coffee and it was delicious. I'm sure it had thousands of calories, but it was honestly more like a croissant than I would have anticipated.
(I then did a 4000 yard swim workout that night, so maybe I burned off all of the calories anyway.)
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.
