European-style pastries, breads, and savory dishes in airy surrounds
"What started as a small booth at Green City Market has now evolved into a beautiful, bright, European style cafe and bakery. Locally sourced ingredients shine in both their delicious breakfast/lunch plates and their irresistible pastries. Their produce, meats, dairy and cheeses are sourced directly from sustainable farms in the Midwest. Grab your goodies and head up to the second story lofted area, where you can bask in the sunlight and enjoy the atmosphere." - Stephen Merlo
"This former farmer’s market staple made the transition to a full-blown bakery and cafe in Lincoln Park, but one thing hasn’t changed: they’re still making delicious pastries (and breads, and sandwiches) 13 years later. Show up in the morning with your laptop for a cup of coffee and an ultra-flaky croissant, then settle in with a honey-pecan sticky bun to make answering emails more tolerable. And as you approach inbox zero, Floriole has the perfect option for a celebratory lunch: a very good Parisian sandwich with ham and butter on a crusty sourdough-based baguette with a delicate open crumb. It's perfect for a picnic when the weekend finally arrives, too." - veda kilaru, john ringor
"An independent cafe and bakery that was included among the initial retail partners on April 8, offering the new locally themed chips as part of an effort to embed the product into community shops and markets." - Sam Nelson
"Ace pastry chef Sandra Holl’s popular cafe features delicious bread and pastries. Croissants, muffins, and cookies star, and there are also take-and-bake meals that are great for families. The seasonal specials are great, and the second floor is bright and a wonderful escape." - Ashok Selvam
"What began as a stand in the Green City Market is now one of the most acclaimed destinations for baked goods in Chicago. Stop into Floriole for chef-owner Sandra Holl’s array of sweets and bread, notably the kouign amann (caramelized layered croissant dough), her outstanding passion fruit tart, and the savory cafe dishes." - Ashok Selvam
