Small, quaint, cute bakery in an area that needs it. The flavor profiles are good and tasty. Some of the laminated pastries were a bit extra toasted. Pricing in comparison to other similar French fusion style bakeries are slightly inflated for smaller pastries. In addition to this I got an 8oz latte and they charged $1 for syrup flavor and $1 for oatmilk. I could maybe understand an $1.50 up charge for a 16oz beverage.

An amazing bakery that’s 2min walk from my house? I am extremely grateful for their hours of operation otherwise I would be housing those hazelnut bars every morning! In all seriousness they have taken over what was a long running historic neighborhood bakery and made it their own while still honoring its history and meaning to the neighborhood. The Basque Cheesecake is incredible and I’m sorry I won’t be in town for thanksgiving otherwise I would have gotten my own pumpkin cheesecake to hide in my garage ☺️ Wishing you many years of success and can’t wait to eat there again!

Had the opportunity to finally try the strawberry milk croissant, mango pastry, banana bread, and some of the savory pastries. They were all very flavorful. I suggest being in line by 8:30 am if you want to see the entire starting line up during the weekend openings!

Awesome cafe with great pastries. Our favorite was the coconut mango one we had - I think It was like a puff pastry?? We got there at 9:55 on a Saturday, line slightly out the door and they were completely sold out about 8 customers behind us. Be sure to get there early on the weekends. They have 3 tables for seating and we lucked out with timing and luckily got a table. All the workers were really nice and kept the line moving. I’ll def be coming back to try more.

Didn’t know the place was open before I stumbled on an Eater article and I drive by it nearly everyday! They’re only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9AM to 2PM or till they sell out. I went on a Friday at noon and was too late and they sold out. I came back next Friday at 9AM and there was already a long line before they opened. So, get there early if you want to get there tasty treats. They also serve coffee to go with their croissants. My favorites are the Strawberry Croissant and Almond Croissant. Delish! Their croissants are different from other croissants they use a different denser dough. One of a kind!

Update: Waited in line nice and early to give them another try only to hear the gentleman taking orders complain to a customer over my initial 2 star review. While I agree with the statement he used of "It wouldn't be special if it were available to everyone," and I agree that 2 stars was a bit harsh, but that doesn't change my opinion about the narrow hours of operation and limited supply. I wanted to step forward and say I wrote the review but it wasn't the time or place with how busy they were so I just left to avoid making a scene.
TL:DR - *Pastries were great (from what I remember) *Hours of operation (Fri - Sunday 9am - 2pm) feels too narrow and restrictive, especially if the supply is so limited *Customer service needs work (don't bash customers in front of other customers, especially if it's just because you didn't agree with their criticism)
Original review: I've only had the opportunity to try their baked goods twice out of the last few months they have been open, but the restrictive hours on top of very limited supply is disheartening. They open too late for me to get there early and when I am able to make time to go, they have been sold out by noon. I'll keep trying but it's frustrating.
Best almond croissant I’ve EVER had! The staff was so kind with our kiddos and seriously everything we tried was out of this world! Also - the almond croissant had more filling than any I’ve ever tried.

Just went to Fat Peach since they had late night hours for Halloween (appreciated that). It’s my third time going and I swear this place just keeps getting better and better. Any of their cream puff like pastries are to die for. They always have something non-croissant like such as the basque cheesecake and the Halloween chocolate ‘dirt’ in this case, which was one of the most delectable things I’ve ever tasted. Small but mighty, this is one of the best pastry shops Chicago has to offer. Super lucky they are in Bridgeport as well!

As a pastry chef traveling from another state, I feel compelled to share my experience at this bakery, especially in light of some recent reviews that miss the mark. The quality of their pastries is unparalleled, with everything baked fresh daily. Unlike many places that rely on frozen items, this bakery uses only top-notch ingredients, making their prices very favorable for the quality offered.
The friendly smiles and warm greetings from the staff, even during peak hours, create a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the entire experience. It's clear that they take pride in their craft, and that level of care makes all the difference.
If you truly appreciate high-quality baked goods, this bakery is a gem. Don't let uninformed opinions deter you from enjoying the exceptional treats they offer!

This was my first time trying this bakery and it was very disappointing due to the staff not being welcoming/rude. Upon taking my order I realized how they were welcoming to the people behind me by asking them about their day/if they were from the neighborhood and even offering free goodies in their order. It’s is unacceptable that not every client is treated with the same respect. Upon getting home and trying their bakery I will not be coming back for a $10 cheese apple danish that did not meet the $10 expectations. Very unpleasant that a discriminating bakery opened up in my neighborhood.
