Floriole Cafe & Bakery - Blueberry shortcake - Bakeries Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

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

I will admit ids really difficult to write a lengthy review when I just purchased one chocolate croissant online, since that's the only way to purchase anything from Floriole. A lot of these bakeries are doing this and it it might be because everyone is struggling to employ workers, but I sure miss the good ol days when you can walk into a bakery, look at what they have and buy a few things. I truly hate online food shopping. Despite all that, the girl that have us our online order was very kind and I was able to get my croissant in minutes. The croissant itself tasted fresh. It was very flaky and buttery, with just the perfect amount of chocolate inside. Wouldn't mind ordering it again, and perhaps a few other items. read more

Great pastries - we loved the poached cherry elderflower tart. The chocolate croissant was one of the flakiest croissants we've ever had. We showed up at 9:30am on a Saturday and the line was short so no need to order ahead of you want to see the pastries and make a game time decision. Most seating outdoors was taken but there's lots of seating inside. Nice staff. Good selection of beverages including bottled juices and sparkling stuff. Super cool that they serve as a pickup hub for farmer deliveries. read more

The aesthetic appeal inside is a reason why you should come here. A gem in Lincoln park! They close at 2pm and I wouldn't reccomend coming here near closing time. I came here near closing time and the food I wanted ran out and they kept up messing up my coworkers drink. The lovely staff made it up to me and gifted me a croissant, which they didn't have to but they could tell how much I wanted that Parisian sandwich. We knew we were coming in late but weren't prepared for them to take so long to get our food/drinks ready. Also late in the day the cutlery and napkins we needed were out. The items are pricy so if you are price sensitive I wouldn't order a lot. Lincoln park has a certain clientele if you know what I mean... I would reccomend ordering TO GO close to them closing and suggest management to close off the upstairs seating area before people go upstairs to avoid this in the future. I would get if they told me they closed it to clean up so they could go home early! This spot is good fo 1-1s and meeting up friends. There's a park nearby so I would reccomend getting anything to go and having a picnic at the park! read more

I knew I was playing a dangerous game when I moved down the street from Floriole. Every chance I get, I am here buying more pastries. Friends in town? Need to get them some quiche. Had a late night? No better way to recover than a chocolate croissant. Feeling sad for no reason? Nothing a sticky bun cannot fix. Coming here and trying all the pastries has been one of my favorite parts of living in Lincoln Park. (Pro tip: there is nothing better for a picnic at the lake than the Parisian sandwich. It is simple but absolutely perfect.) So why only four stars? First is the cost. I spent $20 on two pastries and an espresso this morning. Second is the coffee. It's just not very good. Luckily the pastries more than make up for these things, but you should keep these in mind when you visit. read more

This place is still really solid and food is still so very good. I know the menu has been pared down a bit. Im a fan of the quiche, but they used to do a nice little side salad with the quiche. They have since eliminated that and you get no sides with your meal. So you get a plate with just the quiche....its kind of anticlimatic. I still like the place, coffee is great, pastries are great but the menu is very skinny and not very deep. read more

This place is so cute!! I was in the area looking for a coffee shop to read a bit before an appointment near by. I had a chia latte and chocolate croissant. I sat in the back, along the wall! It was very neat seeing the bakers work in the back!! read more

We tested quiche from multiple places on the north side, and all were unimpressive or just plain awful. I was talking with a co-worker, who swears by Floriole. The quiche from Floriole is thick, custardy and pure silky deliciousness. I ordered 3 whole quiches for a bridal shower and our guests raved about it. Y'all need to do a better job in advertising because I only found you through word of mouth and I tried lots of different Google searches, Door Dash searches and ezCater searches and your name never came up as a quiche provider. The only thing that would make this perfect if you could deliver them hot at the event time. Having to heat them up definitely gave us some logistical challenges because the venue didn't have an oven. Highly recommend them! read more

Very friendly staff--greetings when you walk in and leave. Quiche slice was surprisingly buttery soft for being reheated--really delicious. Didn't come with anything. The space with lofted seating above is really cool. Although they have signs over every table saying it closes at 2p "sharp,"--signs like this make me imagine librarian-like managers that see their customers as annoying. Unusually, no WiFi provided despite the larger seating area. Water cups provided at water stations- the first two cups I picked up from the "clean" pile were cloudy and greasy. Yikes. Third was clean. Drip coffee is $4.5 which is much higher than most similar places, and quality was fine but not what you'd go for. read more

I'm on a quest to find the best almond croissant in Chicago! I found out about Floriole through an article on the best almond croissants in Chicago in none only than the Chicago Tribune and had to give Floriole a try. Because I'm not the only one with an affinity for French pastries in Chicago, I ordered 1 almond croissant online, ahead of my arrival. And I recommend anyone do the same. When I arrived, pick up was super easy and quick. I just walked in and up to the register, gave my name, and the infamous almond croissant went away with me. I gave it a little heating at home because I love a warm almond croissant and the first thing I'll note is how well the almond croissant held its form. There was your standard croissant flakiness, but nothing so severe that hinted at staleness or overworking the dough. The croissant's layers stayed intact and took minimal pulling to enjoy each fold. I couldn't tell the croissant was twice-baked just by looking at it but the additional heating and toasting are most evident when eating the crust. The ratio of almonds to croissant was well balanced; and the croissant's center was just decadent. It's frangipane, soaked with rum syrup according to their website, was absolutely perfect. It melted in my mouth and is honestly what I imagine pastries in heaven taste like. I'm only rating this 4 stars because the outer layer of the croissant had a brawny or slightly burnt taste that I just didn't like. I felt myself rushing through the outer shell of the croissant and only slowing down for the center. I'm super curious what these would taste like baked once or if the taste is from a combination of additional heating and the dough. Otherwise, I see why they are ranked highly by others in the city! read more

Recommend you order ahead - went last weekend and they sold out of their croissants by 11:30am. Tried preordering this morning - was a breeze. Website is intuitive, and you wait outside and tell them your name once you arrive. They are on the pricier side ($5 - $6 for a croissant), but it was a worth it. The almond croissant was decadent, crispy, gooey, and what you would imagine in a sweet pastry. Soaked in rum syrup... need I say more? Made the mistake of having the almond before the butter, because the butter tasted a bit saltier than anticipated (not mad about it). Would recommend if you are out and about and want a perfect pairing with your coffee. read more

Delightful bakery and coffee place and sandwicheria. The best coffee ever? Well, its very good. Super nice peeps in a cool little hood.

Such a great local bakery. I got a Too Good To Go deal, which was a great price. In my bag, I got a Honey Pecan Sticky Bun (croissant dough rolled with brown sugar and cinnamon and baked in a honey caramel with pecans), a Buckwheat Scone (made without wheat flour. A hearty earthy and crumbly scone with a raspberry belly button. Contains dairy), and pistachio pastry. All were so good but the overall winner, I think was the pistachio. Flakey, nutty, reminiscent of baklava, but better. read more

Very busy. The baked goods are average. I was in line to order, and one of the people from the shop brought some samples for the people in line. For some reason, she started with a person behind me and after she came back, she started from the very front, ended with a person right in front of me even though she still had samples left on her tray, so I was the only person who didn't even get asked if I wanted try. I'm not upset about the fact that I didn't get free food, but I'm wondering why she completely ignored me while she asked literally everyone else. Maybe a racist thing, idk. I'm not coming back. read more

The baked goods here are so, so good! We've lived in Chicago a month, and Floriole is already becoming a weekend morning go-to for us. Plenty of sweet and savory options, and we haven't gone wrong with any of them yet. The passionfruit tart, honey-pecan sticky bun, and tomato-feta pastry tart have been some notable favorites, though the menu seems to cycle quite a bit from week-to-week. Coffee and drinks are just 'okay'. The bread and pastries are the obvious standouts here. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, street parking easy to find, and pretty prompt service. read more

The pricing at this place is pretty steep and definitely irked me but I find myself coming back a good amount and would still recommend this place to anyone wanting to try some yummy pastries. They do classics and usually have at least a few special rotating items - would say the rotating items don't always hit the spot but they're fun! read more

Floriole has some of the most delicious pastries in Chicago and I was so happy I got to share the experience with @littleperilla (Also their interior is so beautiful... It is right out of the cafes of my dreams) Things we got: * Cherry Elderflower Oatmilk Latte * Cherry Blossom Iced Green Tea * Maple Bacon Chive Scone * Canele * Passionfruit Tarte Not one thing here was a miss and the next time I go, I will be trying their Ham & Cheese Quiche along with buying a baguette to go. read more

What a gem of a bakery! My friend and I split the butter croissant and quiche and all I can say is chef's kiss...it's no wonder they sell out so quickly. The service was phenomenal, especially considering how many questions we asked. They close at 2 but by that point they're pretty much almost out of everything anyways. The iced chai is also amazing, I could've sworn I was drinking ice cream :) there are two floors, but there's no Wi-Fi! So no opportunity to co-work here. My ONLY complaint is I wish they had matcha lol but it won't stop me from coming back read more

The ambiance was very clean and peaceful. Unfortunately though that was the only positive I had. A teeny tiny drip coffee was $5 and the coffee was way too bitter for me. The scone was way too dry and not as flavorful as I would have liked. All in two tiny coffees and a scone cost us almost $20 which is a little ridiculous. read more

I want to give this place the benefit of the doubt - it's COVID and so I'm sure they're running with some limitations . By the time I got there a lot of the items were already sold out (not their fault but slightly disappointing!) I grabbed the ham and Swiss sandwich , the bread was fairly hard and seemed like maybe it was slightly older , which was disappointing , would have loved if the sandwich was warmed up a bit - it was also pretty pricey for what it was . We also got another item (unsure of the name of it) but it was MUCH better . Flavored really well (it's the second picture) . This item the bread was much fluffier and moist. read more

Love the place and the events they host every so often. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, their sandwiches are fantastic btw. Good coffee and tea too. Just a word of warning that you might be hard pressed to find a seat, and you might be waiting for your drink/food for a while given how busy it gets even on a weekday. read more

Very cute little cafe-like experience. We had the Parisian sandwich, chia pudding, Rhubarb Galette, and the spinach quiche. All very good, but the bread here is amazing. Make it a stop if you're hungry! read more

Pretty sweet spot in Lincoln Park. There are plenty of pastries and natural light - I can easily picture myself spending a day there with a book in one hand and cup of coffee in the other. Some of the items that we have tried: 1) The chocolate croissant needs a little more fluff but the dark chocolate is a plus. 2) The chai latte was very creamy. It could use a little less milk and a little more spice. 3) The quiche with ham was a pleasant surprise and my favorite item. It was flakey on the outside and fluffy on the inside with abundance of cheese and ham. 4) The lentil soup is a solid, healthy, and hearty option. read more

Nice spot on Webster in Lincoln Park. The good: food is served fresh; bread is delicious and baked perfectly (and fresh daily); lots of options on the menu; one of the best, creamiest chai lattes we've had. The not as good: while the avocado toast was fresh and plentiful, the avocado was getting lost in the flavor of the bread; on the pricier side for food; took 20+ minutes to get two brunch items. read more

I was told about this place by a friend so made it my first stop today. We got a couple muffins and the caneles along with the best cappuccino I've had in a while. The caneles are the best! The service was friendly and the barista did a great job! I liked the seats by the window and enjoyed the neighborhood people watching. Will probably be back while in town! read more

new favorite cafe!! love everything about this place, from the staff to the pastries and coffee. the girl that took my order was so sweet and when i was leaving another worker even gave me a free canele! i got the iced lavender latte with oat milk, my first time trying a lavender latte and it was so good! if you like the flavor of tea, you will love it. i also got an artichoke and cheese pastry (unfortunately forgot the name...), a nice portion of tasty artichoke and warm flakiness that made me want more. theres a small nice seating area on the main floor and i spent an hour getting some work done, there isnt much noice or chaos so its a good place to relax or bring some friends. as i was leaving, i took two passionfruit tarts for my family to try. i will say though the pastries are a bit pricey but the pretty presentations and ingredients make it worth it i think, especially if youre just treating yourself to something good. also consider parking because most of the spots around the area are full! read more

Their almond croissant and peach coconut taste were among one of top level of those Chicago area sweets for me, so far. There was a short waiting line when we arrived at the shop on the Sunday morning. But they take online? Order if you don't want to wait , actually a lot of pre-ordered customers came whilst waiting. We tried a peach coconut tarte and an almond croissant, both was top-notch level in Chicago. Of course we have much more greater shops in Tokyo, but at least here in Chicago, as we didn't expect that we could find such a high quality bakery-cafe, it was a good surprise. Must try another ones! read more

I stopped in Floriole Cafe & Bakery last week to have some coffee & get some work done. It's a fairly big shop with a good number of seats on the main floor but even more upstairs! They have a huge selection of baked goods to choose from and choose I did! I ended up trying their Chocolate Hazelenut Cookies ($2.75) and loved it, the Peanut Butter Jelly Cookie ($1.75) which was a bit dry but the flavor was spot on and the Gingerbread Snowflake Cookie ($2.50) which again was a little dry but had some nice spice to it. On the coffee front, I ordered the 12 ounce Latte for $4.64. I was a bit sad the foam was a muddled mess and they didn't attempt any cute coffee art, but I powered through the pain. They are a part of the A La Card Cheap Eats Deck so you can use the $5 off $10 card! Woohoo. Wouldn't hesitate to come here again to get some work done. read more

Floriole was the second stop on my canele tour. After having come from another location and still not having my canele itch scratched came here because it was the location 2 that came up on the search. Frankly, I should have come here first. The space is, honestly, gorgeous. It's a remodeled home with tons of light and even though I was full and just wanted a pastry and a lemonade I ended up ordering their quiche because not only was it there, it looked tasty...also because the breakfast burger was unavailable because they were out of brioche. The quiche though was great, I got the meat option and I usually it's pretty sparse. The slice was pretty packed with lardons and the crust, was light and buttery. Try to get there early so you the entire menu is available to you. read more

Cute cafe in Lincoln Park that's great for breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon latte. The space is cute with plenty of seating, and there a few tables outside as well. I got the quiche of the day which was a tomato arugula gruyere quiche. It was a pretty small $10 slice, and I couldn't really taste the gruyere, but it was good. I wish the side "salad" had a few more ingredients besides vinegar-dressed greens. I also got a chai latte which again was pretty tiny and pricey and not as sweet as I would have liked. Not sure if I'll be back in the future, but maybe the pastries in the glass display have more potential. read more

Oh this place is darling. Be prepared to spend $16 on a latte and a pastry, but in my experience on this beautiful Sunday, it was absolutely worth it. I got the spiced Rooibis latte and was a huge fan. Was nervous it would taste too strong/ have too much of a bite, but I drank it so fast, it was so enjoyable. I also treated myself to an almond croissant (not warmed). It was amazing. Not overly sugary/syrupy - the perfect amount of flakey and sweet. I was worried it would be dry like most almond croissants are but it was not. Truly a fabulous pastry. Cute indoor space and great little outdoor patio as well. Inside, you have a view into the bakery which is so cool! The ladies behind the counter greet you warmly in their cute little brown aprons. Can't wait to come back. read more

This is one of the most expensive upscale pastry shops I've been to. The ambiance is light and airy and service was prompt. I got the pecan sticky bun, which had lots of sauce, but the outer layers of the bun were quite dry and didn't taste fresh even though it was a Saturday early afternoon. Surely not worth almost $7, but I'll return to give it another try! read more
