"This tiny, buzzy bakery quietly opened in Oak Park in April 2024. Be sure to get there early because the bakery sells out quickly. Get in line and be ready to place to-go orders from a rotating menu of pastries and baked goods. Items have included a brown butter financier made with polenta, danishes filled with poached pear, flaky, puffy galettes topped with seasonal vegetables, cardamon buns, and buttery croissants. A compact grocery section offers a limited inventory of eggs, Guernsey Farms Dairy products, greens, and items sourced from local food-makers." - Serena Maria Daniels
