I ordered a slice of the spinach quiche because I saw positive reviews of it on here, but to put it bluntly, the food was not good. We honestly didn't even finish it. On top of that, for such a simple order, it took quite a while to get our food.

When I saw the "Black Lives Matter" sign out front, I thought I would be welcomed. Unfortunately, I was not. The cashier was rude and gave off racist vibes. I will not return and I'm filing a BBB complaint.

I went in as a first time customer today. I was unsure of how they structured their ordering process. The woman at the counter, a South Asian woman, asked if I needed help. When I asked a question pertaining to the food options and combinations, she facetiously told me to read the signs. I asked her if she was okay and was there something the matter because how she was handling my questions as a first time customer was incredibly rude. She replied to me that it was not me, but a previous customer who she was taking out her frustrations on. Calmly, I replied to the woman that I was not that previous customer and as a first time customer, all I was asking for was a bit of help in understanding the process. It was a terrible, rude, and I would even go as far to say a racist experience.

Absolutely AWFUL!!! Me and 2 other nurses who work at the University of Chicago hospital went here after our 12 shift for breakfast. They sell a sandwich for $9.50but when we went to order the lady told us it’s $15 because they only sell the sandwich with a cookie and coffee. We told her we just wanted the sandwich and it was advertised for $9.50, the owner came around to the front and yelled at us saying the sandwich is $15 whether we wanted the coffee or not. He told us if we didn’t like it to just leave and he started slamming things around. We were shocked to see such rude and aggressive behavior. We just walked out. When I told other people at work about what happened, 2 other coworkers said they had bad experiences too and no longer go there.If you want to be treated horribly and pay an exorbitant amount of money for a sandwich, then go here. Otherwise, avoid this place.

Everything I've gotten here has been decadent and delicious, and the outdoor covered cafe seating is fantastic. I recommend trying any of the many flavors of croissant, a croque monsieur, or an eclair (chocolate, coffee, and rose are rotating flavors).
The pastry is out of this world...True French pastry in Chicago.UN JOYAU POUR LA VILLE DE CHICAGO.

I was charged 14 dollars for a sandwich that was delivered cold and in a ziploc bag. It didn’t taste bad, but it couldn’t have cost more than 3 dollars to make. The employee at the cash register was trying to push these pre-made sandwiches, saying the staff in the back was super busy and anything else was gojng to take a really long time to make. I accepted it supposing it would at least be warmed up and definitely that it would cost at most half of that (the price for it wasn’t displayed anywhere). They just took it out of the display fridge and rang me up.

Great neighborhood bakery and coffee shop. Good options for everyone in the group. Counter service and some seating outside.

June 3, 2022I ordered a latte. There was a mixup about the size, but the latte itself tasted great, a traditional espresso drink.Note: they have aligned with the American standard of 12 ounce minimum size for lattes and cappuccinos, and I didn’t see signs of any 8 ounce cups. I also didn’t see a flat white on the menu, which is sometimes a backdoor way of creating an 8 ounce option.They ask had a tasty full of tasty looking baked goods as you would expect of a French themed bakery. And the people behind the counter even speak French-accented English!
when I came to the bakery I wanted some fresh croissants, after all, they are priced at $4.10 a piece. For a piece of bread. I asked the cashier when they were made just to know if they were freshly out of the oven. He got upset at me and said everything there is fresh and good. I ended up paying and getting one. I took myself to the park to enjoy it. I was disappointed. It was stale. I couldn’t even eat it and had to throw it away like my money. This isn’t worth it for the croissants. It’s better to go to Trader Joe’s and buy 4 of them frozen and bake them yourself.

We came here before the MOSAI as it was close by. Had two great breakfast sandwiches, made fresh by a lovely Frenchman. Polite service and great food. Highly recommend if you're looking for a relatively quick but tasty meal at a good price.

On paper this is a great place - a French style café with outdoor seating in a plaza. There are exciting options for food and drink. They have savory and sweet items on the menu. However, the taste doesn't quite live up to the expectations. It's not bad at all, but it's just shy of what you would expect.

Fresh croissants, great service, and a cozy place. ?♥️I recommend ordering the apple, almond, the classic plane croissants.There’s a nice seating area outside with holiday vibes, you can enjoy your hot cup of coffee with a freshly baked croissant while listening to French music. ?
