La Fournette

La Fournette Bakery & Cafe - Review - Old Town - Chicago - The Infatuation

"You could eat nothing but bread at La Fournette, and leave feeling quite pleased with your decision. Freshly baked baguettes and miche loaves line the wall of this Old Town French bakery, ready to be snatched up by the stream of locals looking to channel their inner Parisian. But besides their signature bread, La Fournette also churns out baskets of flaky croissants, soft brioche buns, and danishes involving the entire fruit section of a Jewel. The pastries are good, and while the plain croissants taste more like flavorless bread crust than rich, buttery dough, that just means they’re the perfect vehicle for sandwiches with salty fillings like ham and cheese, which you can also get here. photo credit: Veda Kilaru" - Veda Kilaru
