Been here various times because this bakery specializes in croissants! This is the place for the variety of croissants you can’t find in other bakeries.
My favorite is the cheese filled croissant.
I also recently brought pastries for the office and everyone loved them!
The place can be hard time find and is hidden but that makes it much greater!

You want to try an AUTHENTIC and delicious croissant without having to go to France? You've found the right place. The croissants are absolutely phenomenal.
The pastries are also super delicious and every item is fresh the flavors are rich.
The service is also phenomenal, the person behind the counter (not sure if he is the owner) but he is so friendly, helpful, always willing to recommend the best food. Highly recommend!

Workers have a good/pleasant vibe

This place used to be amazing... And then they got famous and the quality declined unfortunately. Went here for years every time I was in Chicago but was very underwhelmed the last two times. I thought the first may have been a fluke, but after the second time it is probably just that the quality is lower now.

I just happened to stop by here, and the staff were really friendly. You can tell they’re proud of their bakery!
The coffee is really smooth and tastes great.
There are about 3–5 tables behind the counter, so no need to worry about finding a seat😉

I stumbled across Hendrickx nearly 15 years ago when I moved to Chicago. I have a knack for searching out the best croissants and bagels in any place I go and they delivered. I found myself back in Chicago recently again and could not pass on the opportunity to indulge in some plain and almond croissants and it was instant nostalgia. Same great taste, same wonderful staff, I see word catched on over the years cause there was a line at open, but after that first bite the wait was worth it. The next time I return to Chicago I’ll definitely swing by for another.

I found this cute little place and the pastries were absolutely delicious will absolutely be back to try others and some of the breads. But I had the most disappointing iced vanilla latte ever. There was like 80% foam and barely any drink. If I order a latte I want the whole thing to fill the cup not an espresso worth of drinkable beverage.

The food will absolutely have me back but I will not be getting coffee next time.

The croissants are very basic- they don't have the flakey layers like a traditional croissant has. Wouldn't necessarily go out of my way again to come here.

Great croissants and coffee. Would recommend for their delicious baked goods, coffee and service.

The staff are very friendly. The tarts are so good. Better come in earlier otherwise the croissants are all sold out.

We were originally looking for a different place and stumbled across this.

WOW are we happy we did! Wonderful gluten free options and delicious matcha and coffee! Will be coming back to try the sandwiches, they look AMAZING!

The nicest staff. Incredible gluten free desserts! I am a coffee snob and this is some of the best coffee I have had in Chicago. Hidden gem!
