A bright and airy cafe with a lovely wall display of fresh breads and sourdoughs. We tried the cardamom bun, banana crumble, coffee, and picked up a day-old sourdough loaf. The cardamom bun leaned a bit mild in flavor, while the banana crumble was moist, fragrant, and the standout of the visit. The sourdough was slightly stiff but probably made sense given it was day old. Overall, it’s a pleasant stop for baked goods and a casual coffee break.

I went here “only” for a latte; but their almond croissant looked tempting and omg it was one of the best croissants I’ve had. 5/5
The place is really cute and good dining space. You can work here on your laptop as they offer free WiFi service.
Highly recommended

My sister and I were at the Lincoln Park farmers market, planning on buying some of their pretzels.
- This was our first time buying from them, and the line was long that day so their baked goods seemed promising.
- When it was our turn next, one of the employees asked, turned to the people after us, “who is next?”
- Since she was turned away from us—I didn’t say anything immediately. None of the people after us said anything and the other two employees there catered to the people after them.
- my sister and I waited for someone to help us—hoping that at some point someone would notice us waiting in the same spot, in front of the cash register, the whole time after treating three people already. I even raised my hand and tried to get their attention when the other employees were asking who was next.
- my sister mentioned that when I raised my hand, one of the employees noticed me but didn’t say anything and went on to the next person.
- They were then treating the fifth or fourth person in line after us it was then my sister said, “you know what, we should go.”
- it was only until she said that, an older lady finally came up to us and asked us what we wanted
- After purchasing two of the regulars and two of the cinnamons—we were disappointed even more because they weren’t that good (I don’t think they were fresh even)
- summary: bad service and experience that day. I wish people were polite enough to mention something about two girls who were waiting there for a while and were not being helped. Auntie Anne’s pretzels are SO MUCH BETTER.

Great bakery located in Edgewater. They have tasty pastries and great baguettes and loaves. The costumer service is improving.

This place really used to be a great cafe, but I think the owners really just want to run a wholesale business, not a cafe. Over the years the cafe space has gotten squeezed and shrunk so there are only a few tables left and they have a lot less options and pastries than they used to . But they've really reached a new low as their only guest bathroom has been out of order for weeks. I mean it's one thing if it's an emergency for one day but seriously? Who runs a cafe without a working restroom for so long? If management actually wants to run a cafe here they need to get their shit together. I gave it 2* instead of 1* because it used to be good and I used to spend a lot of time here. Too bad.
I stop in for their day olds breads ($2 but come early!) and coffee. Sometimes a turkey sandwich when I've been good. 😇

I got a cardamom bun at the farmers market at Lincoln park and man was it good. Honestly almost Europe/Norway level good. I could have gone back for more!
Great place. Service is always friendly and helpful and the food is all delicious and great quality. Great pastries and coffee.

I like their croissants and bread, but the prices are a bit steep for me. I only go about twice a month. I think $4 for a croissant is much too much. But, the Ham & Cheese with a latte is worth the price occasionally. Unfortunately, I just went back this morning to buy a plain croissant and a ham & cheese croissant and I was extremely disappointed this time. The croissants are much smaller and not worth the price at all. Last year they were much bigger and better. I will be searching for a new bakery or making my own ham & cheese croissants at home.
