La Fournette is a French bakery located in Chicago, known for its excellent service and friendly staff who often greet customers with "bonjour." The bakery offers a variety of classic French pastries, including almond croissants, pain au chocolat, and galette des rois during Mardi Gras season. Their bread, including French-style baguettes, are highly praised for their top quality and lack of preservatives. Recently, customers have enjoyed treats like the Almond Croissant, Berliner Beignet filled with Hazelnut, and Saucisson Sandwich—a salami sandwich on a baguette with nuts—that are both delicious and memorable. The bakery has a cozy, authentic French boulangerie feel, with old wooden tables and furniture, creating a warm atmosphere. Visitors often comment on the tasty pastries that are not overly sweet, such as the almond croissant and raspberry danish, and appreciate the quick, friendly service. Parking can be tricky during busy weekends, but the experience inside is worth it. La Fournette is highly recommended for its charming environment and high-quality baked goods, with some customers calling it the best in town, especially for the chocolate twists.
