I just recently ran across this bakery. I live 30 miles south of Chicago so for me its not a local establishment, but it is worth the visit. My first visit was just worth it to walk in and be surrounded by the aroma of croissant. I am so eager to find reasons to stop in and find reasons to try more of the goods. So awesome
I loved everything about this place!! It should definitely be on your list if you’re visiting Chicago!!
phenomenal croissants, truly mastered. compared to another chicago patisserie there is significantly more integrity, rise, and flavor. 83% milk fat from European style Wisconsin butter paired with expert technique makes all the difference! nicely done chef Amanda!
Amazing croissants! Airy and flaky on the inside, buttery, and crusty on the outside. Perfect! Chef Amanda is very friendly...and skilled! I stop in every time I pass by and there isn't a line outside. Highly recommend!
The pastries are so delicious! Definitely some of the best in the city. The pan au chocolate is supreme. You can tell everything is super fresh every day. The baker is such a joy as well.
Best croissant I have had since I have eaten at b.patisserie in SF and that was 9 years ago. Typically selling out before 2pm y’all are the real deal! Will definitely be back. Pain au chocolate had some delicious semi sweet dark chocolate layered on the bottom. So yummy, will be thinking about this croissant for dayz
Overall: If you love French-level croissants, don't let this little place pass you by!
The good: As mentioned, the croissants are as good as you can find in France (or other great American bakeries). Honestly, it rivals a lot of the croissants I've had in France. Here they are buttery, flaky, well-risen, and delicious. The chocolate added a nice flavor to it as well. The service was very friendly and you can obviously tell that it's independently owned and run.
The not-so-good: The atmosphere is ok; peppered with family pictures and French decor, but it needs more. It felt like it was cut and pasted into the layout of the store, and it's not that it was bad, it just needs a more home-y feeling. The water cups are tiny little dixie cups, and it made getting water during our dine-in meal rather inconvenient. And the banana loaf, while great, was a little dry and expensive for its size.
Food/drink: 8/10
Atmosphere: 8/10
Service: 9/10
The best croissants I’ve had in Chicago! They are actually like French croissants, not like the typical US croissant
And... i happened to be in Chicago and wanted to visit this place after watching a youtube video on Chef Amanda about croissants.
Verdict : *****
I loved the place, the color , arrangement, food , staff & the chef .
That salmon sandwich is delicious so as her croissants 😋
