• DNAinfo.com (DNAinfo Chicago) reports that this location closing Dec 31, 2013. The ridiculous non-compete clause with New Wave Coffee allowed location to only sell 8 croissants at a time (was 12).

• Best creeps ever! Gotta try the Caramel Macaroons.

• Came here for brunch and the service was horrific. Cashier accidentally gave our food to the wrong people and didn't even apologize for the wait. Hiring disaffected hipsters as employees = fail.

• Because of New Wave Coffee's tyranny, they can't serve coffee or individual baked goods. I have, however, received free croissants on two occasions, when buying (or attempting to buy) other things.

• Super disappointed in the service tonight. The girl working there did not even acknowledge me as I waited to order for 10 minutes. Finally I left with NOTHING!!! Taking my money elsewhere.

• The crognet: a Boston cream cronut with vanilla cream custard filling and chocolate ganache icing that’s distinctively moist and chewy. Other flavors include chocolate, raspberry, and maple bacon.

• The macarons are bright and very smooth, but the shells don't pack much of a crunch. Pistacchio is pleasantly nutty and delicate, best nibbled with an espresso.

• No coffee but gorgeous madeleines, paris-brest, macarons, and croissants.

• It’s only the passion of a Frenchman that could yield this quality of baguette, along with croissants so flaky that you’ll buy them the only way he can sell them: without an accompanying cappuccino.

• I've been wanting to try this place 4ever. Went in for a choc. Croissant & they only had almond & raisin. Went for almond & I must say, it was pretty amazing. Expensive though "/ womp womp.

• Great French bread. Would've gotten more but the woman behind the counter (see Jordan W's photo) was extremely rude.

• Avoid the woman behind the counter who is too preoccupied with her novel to give decent customer service. Treat customers like you want to be treated.

• Best French Bread in Chicago. Made fresh every two hours. Brunette $3.50 - and worth every penny for an exquisitely perfect hard xrust

  by Bruce B.

  
  

• A bakery with its own take on traditional 19th century French baking. Keep an eye out for the opening & drop in for freshly-baked croissants, country-style loaves, frosty Black Dog Gelato.
