Floriole Cafe is the perfect spot to go to with your girlfriends on a Saturday morning after a workout. It was light and airy, got lots of space and several bakery items that were delicious. We got the almost croissant, a quiche, and a couple other items that were so yum. The croissant was very well made and just melted in your mouth. They also offered to make a banana bread latte for me cause I wanted something sweet! And it was pretty good. read more

I'm edging Floriole up to a full five stars after my lovely breakfast here today. Today, I came for their excellent house sourdough loaf and decided to stay for a coffee and pastry (yes, despite previously having said I'd skip the coffee). Seeing an earl grey latte on their specials menu, I could not resist. I paired it with a citrus morning bun, chose a table in the back, and had a short wait for my order from a nicely cheery barista. Note: I've always found the staff here to be friendly and cheery, making it the happy place a bakery should be. The iced earl grey latte and morning bun were the perfect spring breakfast combination. The house earl grey syrup was nicely pungent without being very sweet or overpowering the espresso. I thought it was a well balanced drink. It paired excellently with the citrus and caramelized sugar in the flaky and crispy morning bun. I enjoyed them both at a comfortable little table which, like the others around it, had a bud vase with fresh flowers. Such a welcoming touch. Make no mistake, Floriole is expensive. But it probably wouldn't be nearly as excellent if it wasn't. I know whenever I come here that I will enjoy it and feel it was worth the splurge. I almost forgot the bread! Sliced on the spot, the house sourdough is a huge loaf that is legit: the right level of sour with a chewy exterior and great crumb. The best I've had to date in the city. read more

We came in for a relaxed morning coffee and crossword. The bakery options are a lot more geared towards sweet than savory - so we got the quiche. The drip coffee was priced ($4.50) almost like a barista-prepared drink. What was odd is the attitude of the person behind the counter. When I asked whether they have the ability to warm up the quiche - her curt and sarcastic response was "we know all that"..!? It was nice to view the actual work of baking goods happening in the back. They use organic flour. There is no service to the table and you bus your own dishes after. I'm surprised they kept the upstairs closed - when it was quite busy and it's self-serve regardless. read more

Floriole is very popular on the weekends and for good reason - sunlit, spacious lofted seating and beautifully baked goods makes a winning combo. When my friend and I visited on a chilly Saturday afternoon, there was about a 25-minute wait from end of line to order pick up. A little long wait, but one of us used the time to snag a table. The chocolate croissant was solid, but the tomato egg focaccia stole the show! The coffee and tea complemented the pastries, but definitely nothing to write home about. Overall, Floriole is a gorgeous spot for date or to get some work done, if you're lucky enough to snag a table! read more

I love Friole's ambiance! It has so much natural lighting and plenty of seating. They have a great upstairs dining area, as well as patio seats. Staff was very friendly!

Floriole has been on my list to try for a very long time. I had a friend flying in from Los Angeles for a couple days in the city to see a concert with me and knew we had to have Floriole on the agenda. The cafe sits in the Lincoln Park neighborhood and has a beautiful store front. There are huge windows that create the most gorgeous natural light inside the cafe, creating the warmest and coziest environment. There are a couple of shelves with some souvenir type goodies for sale, and a refrigerated cooler with some grab 'n go type options as well. The counter where you order is large and has a stunning display behind glass of available pastries and sandwiches. Their menu does change so there are often new options to choose from for your treat. The staff that took our order at the counter was kind and patient while we ordered for the first time. I obviously had to try the breakfast sandwich as a long time listener, first time caller. It comes on the flakiest, butteriest croissant I've had this side of Paris, with eggs that are so light and airy they almost feel souffled. The best part and what makes it so unique and delicious is the tomato jam they upgrade the sandwich with, it's rich and acidic and tangy and just *chef's kiss*. I also had an iced green tea which was refreshing and light, and tasted freshly brewed. My friend ordered breakfast as well and a coffee, and she highly enjoyed both. Floriole has a menu that makes me wish I could just endlessly order food and enjoy it all without any limits on feeling full. There is no bad choice here and you can tell how much care and love and respect goes into every pastry they make. I can't wait to go back and try new seasonal items like their current garleek twist (which looks so amazing). Thank you so much Floriole for an amazing experience! read more

Bright and cute cafe with lots of rotating baked goods and good coffee options. Just located by a park where my little could play and let the energy run out before or after. Very friendly staff. Pre-order function is always a big help to skip the line. We love it. I honest think they have the best canele in the chi town. Even my very picky son likes them a lot. read more

The food here, the baking, is absolute art. Unbelievable. I was taken aback by the quality of the breads here. Try the breakfast sandwich on "croissant bun". The seeded sourdough is a fantastic take home, as is the Parisian ham sandwich. Great coffee as well. All-in-all an amazing place for a Sunday morning with plenty of seating. Your group will easily be accommodated. read more

Floriole is a beautiful pastry shop located just down the street from Trebes Park. The interior is stunning and the pastries are wonderful. However, either order ahead or show up early as there is a long wait time. We made sure to stop by about 2 hours before going to a workout class and it took about 45 minutes for two lattes and two pastries to be ready after waiting in line. I can't fault them for being a victim of their own success. I would say it's worth the wait if you don't have anywhere to be as it was one of the most delicate and buttery croissants I've had in the city. The Salted Tahini Caramel Latte was fine, it was decent coffee but didn't necessarily wow me with its flavor. They have a few seats near the entrance and a pretty big open space upstairs. The staff is friendly and didn't rush anyone ordering. read more

Floriole is a lovely little cafe and bakery nestled in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful homes and lots of trees. The interior is beautiful and calming with lots of light and an airy, open concept. The pastries are beautifully displayed and equally as yummy. I love coming here to grab a parisian sandwich and iced chai latte with oat milk... it's an obsession. The baristas are polite and efficient, so even if there's a line (which there quite often is!) it goes by quickly. They close a bit early for my liking (2PM) so get here early if you're looking to get some studying or work in! Overall, a must visit for those who love exploring cafes in the city! read more

TL; DR: If you are taking it To-Go, order ahead to avoid line, Breakfast sandwich was my favorite Quick and easy for a pickup order. Skip the line and go to the left side of the counter and they will help you asap. They even warmed up my breakfast sandwich. The Quiche Slice is big, but not super filling (but I also split it into 2 and shared it). The breakfast sandwich is savory and great. The ham and cheese croissant is a totally new flavor I've never had. It was good, but I personally like the egg based items in my order more! read more

The ambience is definitely the high point of this cafe. It's very cute and aesthetic, however when it came down to what I ordered I remember thinking it was fine but nothing special, but perhaps I didn't order the right thing. read more

The cafe was more ample than I thought. Though there was no wireless, it had good space on the main floor, upstairs and even a little patio out front. The various coffee drinks were excellent and the baked goods were superb. My only complaint was with the pricing. We pay a premium for quality in Chicago. New York, LA and other major cities, with more expensive real estate, have found a way to charge less for food and drink. So, this was a little shocking. We need to do better. Never the less, a wonderful spot in a great neighborhood. Congrats! read more

Cute cafe & bakery in west Lincoln park! The main thing that sets Floriole apart is the amount of interior space. For a cafe, there is so much great seating downstairs, upstairs, and outside (it looked like they have a small rooftop porch in the summer as well as seating outside the storefront!). 8 of us were able to sit comfortably at the large table upstairs. I offered a cold brew and a chocolate croissant. The croissant was flaky, light, and flavorful but I wish it had more chocolate. They had a nice variety of other tarts and breads too. My friends got a variety of things and everything was enjoyed. I'd like to come back and try other things here! For a bakery it is a little on the expensive side (I think my coffee and croissant was $12). read more

This neighborhood bakery is one of my favorites. It's a European style, a lil French-ish, lovely bakery that offers all sorts of yummy baked goods and coffee. Anytime I get an email from them saying they have pavlovas, I make it a point to put in an online order with a pavlova, a sourdough loaf, and any other goodies they have that day. I've never seen any other bakeries in the city that sells pavlovas and they're my ultimate favorite baked treat so I can't say no! The ones they bake here at Floriole are AMAZING. Today, I also got a red bell pepper and gruyere quiche slice and it was so creamy and yummy. Ever since the pandemic, I've been doing online preorders for pickup and it's been so convenient. I know they do have indoor seating downstairs and upstairs as well, but I'm usually a quick pick up and go type of customer. The interior of the bakery is clean and airy, I would love to stop in for a solo lunch one day. The ppl who work here are all pleasant and friendly. The coffee drinks are delicious as well; today, I got an iced vanilla latte. Highly recommend this bakery, I think it's one of the best in the city. Available parking over here on Webster is pretty rare I'd say, so if you're driving over there, give yourself time to find nearby parking. read more

What a charming little bakery, delightfully crafting both timeless classics and intriguing surprises that cater to those seeking unexpected flavor combinations based on what ingredients are in season. Personally, I love this because I can always walk-in expecting something new on their menu! In addition to their pastries and breads, they also serve coffee for those looking for a caffeinated pairing. Stepping inside, you're embraced by a warm and inviting ambiance given the wooden interiors, high ceilings, and natural light that comes pouring in from their windows. The space can get quite busy especially on weekends and may be hard to find a seat. However, the space extends both downstairs and upstairs, so you can try your luck. For those seeking a place to do laptop work, I would not recommend given that they do not have public wi-fi, nor outlets to charge up. It can also be noisy on said weekends--definitely more of a place to sit down have a coffee and pastry and catch up with others. Definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

Glad to have finally paid Floriole a visit after many recommendations! With so many interesting flavors of pastries, it was hard to decide on just a couple. The seasonal apricot rosemary scone and the raspberry rye cookie particularly caught my eye. Although an intriguing flavor combination, I felt that the rosemary overpowered the apricot and brought too much of a savory profile to an otherwise sweet pastry. I loved how the thumbprint cookie's dough was delicately infused with raspberry, but I was not sold on the large chunks of sea salt on top. The interior is charming and staff was extremely friendly and patient. Overall, Floriole offers high quality pastries and I would recommend giving the shop a visit. Next time, I will definitely try the sandwiches or quiche! read more

The tea was not very good. The pastry I ordered was good but very expensive for its size.

Terrible. Walked in 1:45 and as ordering coffee and food to enjoy at the restaurant, was told they closed at 2:00, and when I asked if we could stay a bit past 2:00, was told no, that we would need to leave @ 2:00. And as there were several others in the restaurant, we asked if they would be kicked out at 2 and we were told that yes, they would be kicked out at 2. And then when ordering a loaf of bread to go (it was raining outside), our bread was placed in a paper bag only. We needed to request a plastic bag to carry it home. Terrible customer service. So disappointed. Never to return. read more

$25 for a toast and a cappuccino. The unfortunate norm these days, however Floriole falls below average due to only having oat milk as alternative milk and no wifi. Owners need to stop putting it's sweet staff in awkward positions (they had 3 disappointed customers regarding wifi in the short 30 minutes I was there) and provide more to customers for the hefty charge. read more

My partner and I came here on a rainy Sunday afternoon and upstairs was closed unfortunately. After hearing so much about this place I was excited to come. It was charming inside, and had inviting atmosphere. The array of baked goods definitely caught my attention. I got the strawberry shortcake. It was visually appealing with golden buttery shortcake biscuits and vibrant red strawberries with a dollop of whipped cream. The biscuit was crumbly and tender with a buttery flavor. The strawberries were macerated with sugar and sweet. I don't know if it was worth the price though. My partner enjoyed her latte. I'd come back to try their Parisian sandwich and cannelle. read more

They have the best sourdough bread in the world. We buy the whole loaf and toast it, load it up with butter and it's heaven.

Are you looking for Chicago's best canelé? Canelés are custardy, vanilla scented French pastries. They're made in a fluted mold that has been brushed with beeswax. They're crispy on the outside and moist inside. They're my favorite! Not all canelés are created equal, and I found Chicago's best canelé at Floriole Cafe & Bakery.

the kumquat and almond tart is delicious, sweet & refreshing, although i didnt taste as much almond as i would have liked. the shell of the tart itself is perfectly baked - not too soft but not too hard, an immaculate texture with a perfect bite. one thing to note here is that the coffees are a bit on the sweeter side, according to a friend who got the lavender latte. you might want to request a reduction in syrup if that isn't your thing. I love the upstairs seating and at 9am on a Sunday we were able to very comfortably seat 8 of us at a table, and it started filling up closer to 10ish. it wasn't too loud, either. I also love all of the unique pastry options and how the menu changes every time you come in. we all agreed this was a beautiful spot and I'll definitely be back! read more

To top if off you can usually find free street parking on weekday mornings. read more

Super cute bakery in a charming neighborhood. I was craving a quiche so naturally I had to check it out. The interior decor was adorable and they had a selection of pastries, baked breads, etc. I snagged this ham & bacon quiche and sat on their cute patio. The quiche was delectable. And the flaky crust took it to a whole new level! My only draw back was the customer service wasnt that inviting. The cashier seemed annoyed (but greeted everyone else around me with a smile). The guy cleaning tables was the only person to talk to me (he and I were the only folks of color). Very disappointing :/ Beyond that, delicious food-- but I don't think I'll rerun. read more

My experience with Floriole is that it is inconsistent and overpriced. Let's start off with the good, the interior of Floriole is beyond cute and cozy. They have ample seating even on a busy weekend morning. The food has been inconsistent. I have had the chocolate croissant where it was beyond exceptional - one of the best I ever had. And then the following week it was so subpar, a step above Starbucks. When you are charging over $6 for 1 pastry it should be consistent with the taste and quality. All of their other pastries are $6+ as well and none of them have wowed me for what I have tried. For coffee, the only non dairy milk option is oat milk. They also charge $1.25 to add it to any latte. Service has also been inconsistent. I have been here where the staff is very nice, helpful and hospitable and then the opposite. I ordered a croissant and wasn't asked if it was for takeaway or dine in - they just threw it in a bag. They seemed to be asking every other customer if their orders were for dine in or takeaway. I was planning on dining in but I wasn't even asked. Overall, this isn't somewhere I will be going out of the way for. if I am in the neighborhood then sure but other than that I am out. read more
