Such a nice way to end my very fast trip to this great city to move our daughter into her new place. So delicious , and the gentleman taking our order at the counter was very kind and patient with us newbie out -of - towners.
I was super excited that there is a French cafe in my neighborhood and couldn’t wait to check it out. We came here for Sunday brunch. I ordered the croque monsieur with egg (why won’t they just call is a croque madame? But ok), the rose lavender latte and chocolate nutella croissant. My partner ordered the cappuccino and ham and swiss croissant sandwich.His sandwich was fine, although I doubt the freshness of that croissant. My nutella croissant tasted like it was at least 3 days old..so I didn’t take more than one bite of that.The croque monsieur was really hard to cut into and the edges of the bread were very crispy (in hind sight, that bread was probably stale) and the egg was cooked on too high heat because the edges were burnt, but the egg whites weren’t completely cooked in the middle, so you get that lovely snot looking substance on your egg. I was willing to forgive all that, but when I cut into the middle and my sandwich was ice cold…that did it for me.The coffee was good..so maybe just don’t order any food?
They have the best coffee here! The decor is cute and the staff have always been extremely friendly and helpful. Worth the visit. I also like that they try and be eco friendly, and have compostable cups as well as the option of ceramic cups if you stay in.
Food here was pretty average... I've eaten at 2 other places (8am cafe and Hollywood cafe) around the area and the quality of food and service were much better for the same price. At least for me, I'd rather eat better food for the same price
I loved everything about this place! Cute little neighborhood cafe. Delicious food and friendly service. Ordered their chocolate croissant and croque monsieur. I've tasted plenty of croissants, but these were so flakey and amazing. I'll be back again very soon.
We enjoyed our croissant breakfast sandwiches and coffee. The staff was very welcoming and kind and our food was delicious! I did feel it was a bit expensive ($40 for two sandwiches and small coffees), but when in Paris...
The most elegant café and bakery in Chicago! Everything is very delicious and fresh!
We were on a short vacation in Chicago and ended up having breakfast at this place everday. The baguettes are so delicious, they reminded me of a holiday I spent in Nice. The croque monsieur was also yummy, and the French roast coffee was just the way I like it. The space is lovely, staff is attentive and I can't recommend this place enough.
went to the one on Clark St and everything was really good. I love the Parisian bread. I want more.
The croissants! So fresh, so delicious (still delicious 1 day old) The best outside of Paris. Their sandwiches are good too, on baguette
