    Grilled cheese
    Brianna R.

    This is my go to cafe. Their pastries are truly magical. My favorite is the Kouign-amann. He sold me on it after calling it the "5 D's" - divine, decadent, delightful, delicious, and dangerous. Their croissants are flaky and soft. They have great seasonal flavors. And their sandwiches are pretty tasty too. I especially loved the grilled cheese, which I had never tried that way. Highly recommend and lucky this is my neighborhood cafe! Right off the Bryn Mawr redline stop

    Excellent danish! I usually only get bread but wanted to give their pastries a shot. The matcha was too sweet... It could be pre-mixed. Definitely a new go to for pastries!

    This is my go to bakery for my weekly sourdough, and am here frequently getting pastries or drinks. Their sourdough is some of the best i have had, with a such a nice outer crunch and that tangy flavor. They have great pastries, some of my personal favorites being the cinnamon rolls (so soft), pretzels (weekend exclusive) and their ham/cheese croissants. Its hard to go wrong with any choices though. They have rotating unique bread, like japanese milk bread, flavored sourdough and some other unique loafs. They also sell their excess bread on a discount the next day and its still fresh. Their drinks are reliable, and most recently tried their eggnog latte and was a big fan of it. I started using their sourdough starter they sell recently and it came out great. The staff is also really friendly and provide helpful guidance to the goods they sell. It's a nice place to work out of to but just a warning there is not plugs to charge your laptops (that i could find). Also these pictures are older but they have been so consistent over the past 2 years, I love this place. Phlour is for the community and you should come support it!

    I just moved into the neighborhood and have walked by this place several times. In decided to try it out. Well, I love it. Here are my pros amd cons: Pros - Its a local business - Quite - Great selection of pastries, sandwiches and bread (food was DELICIOUS) - They have wifi - Plenty of room to do my work when I want to get out of my house - Everything is made in house Con - Customer service. I didn't go there to get red carpet service, however I did expect a simple hello. Unfortunately, I felt like I was bothering the girl behind the counter. I walked up, said hello, and all I got was a stare. I mentioned that I have never been there before, in the hopes that she would make a suggestion. Not a peep. I asked her about the blend of coffee of the day. She literally said...."Its the coffee of the day". - Long story short, she didn't want to be there, didn't care about customer flow. Almost everyone that came in had to wait for her to stop talking to the back of house bakers. Almost never smiled. Its to bad that she wasn't taking her job serious. That place if great and I recommend going there. My hope is that the owner reeducates the employee on how important it is to simply say "welcome" or "hello". Many small businesses are closing down in this neighborhood. Customer service one of the easiest ways to get people to come back.

    Phlour serves up fresh and aromatic breads, pastries, and more in a modern spot for remote working and casual meets. I have lived in the Edgewater area for a couple years and always loved Phlour's quippy neon signs, but hadn't stopped in until now. I stopped in on a Friday morning and ordered a mini broccoli and cheese quiche to-go. The quiches are refrigerated, but there is the option to heat it, which takes around 10 minutes. It was well worth the wait. Five minutes in, the delicious smell of the warming quiche filled the entire shop. When I took it home it was still warm. The quiche was one of the most delicious I've ever had. Flaky, buttery crust, flavorful eggs, fresh broccoli and cheese - I can't stress enough how much I LOVED this quiche. It was perfect for a one-person breakfast. The expected COVID precautions are in place, social distancing, and masks, which I appreciate. I will be back to try their sandwiches, and I can't wait!

    Went there this morning to get breakfast. My favorites are the blueberry muffin, cinnamon roll, and quiche. I order a broccoli and cheddar cheese quiche, blueberry muffin, and iced coffee. I asked for an iced americano and the barista (who is cute and friendly) told me that they don't make espresso drinks, so he suggested an iced coffee which I did. Of course, the quiche and blueberry muffin was tasty. If you get a chance stop by here and give it a try.

We got two cupcakes to share -- the purple velvet and the main squeeze. The purple velvet is ube butter cake, ube mousse, and ube cake crumbs. The ube flavor is both sweet and nutty and the mousse topping was light and delicious. The main squeeze is lemon cake filled with lemon curd, cream cheese frosting, and a buttercream lemon on top. Both were incredible, but my favorite was the lemon! I loved that the lemon flavor was light, and the cream cheese frosting balanced it out really nicely. The space is so cute inside! It's also a lot larger than I was expecting. We grabbed a seat at one of the tables inside to enjoy our treats. I will definitely be back with my toddler for a cupcake date soon!

I especially liked the longanisa breakfast sandwich and chicken adobo. I'm so glad that they were willing to make the breakfast sandwhiches beyond 12pm for some of us waiting in line. Fyi they normally stop making the breakfast sandwhiches at noon. Be prepared to wait in line for at least an hour, this spot is super popular. I also really enjoyed the chicken adobo. The chicken was tender and I thought the hint of sweetness from the coconut flakes sprinkled on top was a pleasant touch. I also really liked the Manila fog drink - it wasn't too sweet or overpowering. For the ube huckleberry basque cake - I mostly tasted tartness from the huckleberry and not so much ube, but it was good regardless. The staff were all pretty nice. There's indoor and outdoor seating. You'll likely be able to make a friend or two from the wait in line haha. Highly recommend trying this place at least once!

I actually don't like truffle or croissant but this was flaky, and the rock sugar (I think that's what it is?) on top is so addicting. the cream truffle filling was flavorful but not overpowering -- longanisa egg sandwich + hashbrown: 7/10 just wasn't a standout for me -- mushroom adobo: 8/10 it was flavorful - I would order again but not sure it's worth almost $20 for drinks, we both got the hot yam but my boyfriend got it iced and I got it hot -- it tasted better iced but it was still lacking in ube flavor. the coffee also didn't taste strong enough for me personally honestly I really wanted to like this place more but for almost $100 for everything and the long wait, I expected at least half of the items to be perfect but I felt like only the truffle croissant felt like a 10/10 for me I will say the staff was very sweet though -- maybe it's a better experience dining in, so I think next time I will wake up early to eat inside and hopefully be able to give a higher rating :-)

I was skeptical at first because it is a local chain, rather than a singular location. However, it lived up to the hype. Service: it was extremely busy when we came in. The line was almost out the door. They have a system in place for ordering and seating so it worked well and fast given how busy they were. We didn't have any questions on where to order or where to stand when waiting for a seat. The staff were friendly and helped us find a spot to sit at. Ambiance: classic cafe in a city. Loud chatter, but it's a vibe. Very colorful and fun interior with cool textural elements. We had a seat that was facing the street so it was fun to people watch as we sipped and ate. Food: amazing breakfast selection! We ordered the morning sandwich and barbacoa bowl. The morning sandwich had THICK scrambled eggs which were super soft and tasty. I could've used more salsa verde on it. The bread was barely toasted. I'd rate the sandwich a 3.8/5. It got the job done. The barbacoa bowl was "really good" according to my fiancé. A great source of protein, fresh ingredients, nice flavor, and great portions. He would rate it a 5/5. Coffee: I am a coffee snob so I am quite harsh when it comes to reviewing it. Their machine is a cute La Marzocco. Appropriate sized "for-here" glasses according to the drinks. Plus, they were really cute. Wide variety of drink selection from your standards to the more girly-drinks (if there is such a thing). We ordered a cappuccino and small hot mocha. Latte art 4.5/5, temperature 5/5, flavor 4/5. The espresso didn't stand out to me, very standard flavor profile. However, the chocolate in the mocha was delicious. It's more of a rich, dark chocolate. Nice thin layer of foam. Would recommend to try at least once when you're in Chicago! Glad to have stopped in.

I got the pistachio croissant, shakshouka pastry, and berry crunch oatmeal. It took about 20-25 minutes, which made no sense because the pastries are in the case and the oatmeal......is oatmeal. I suspect they opened without having all of their prep done because the delay made no sense. Their staff looked frantic. The croissant wasn't filled, it just had pistachio cream on the top with a couple of nuts. I would order the shaksouka pastry again. The egg was cooked well, and the tomato was very good. They were supposed to heat it up, but it wasn't warm.

We visited around noon on a Sunday, and after reading the reviews here, I wasn't optimistic there would be many pastries left. Maybe I should play the lottery, because luckily there was no line and a pretty good selection of pastries left. The staff were super friendly and there were so many unique flavors of baked goods. We decided to split several and opted for the blueberry cloud cookie, chai cinnamon roll, banana pudding croissant, espresso cornflake cookie, and potato focaccia. The shop was more of a small take-out operation, so we took the pastries to a nearby park to eat. Everything was absolutely divine! The group favorite was the focaccia- the creamy potatoes and cheese brought a rich flavor that was perfectly balanced by the fluffy bread. The chai roll was perfectly soft and delicately spiced, completed with that soft cream cheese frosting and gooey center we all like to see. My personal favorite was the banana pudding croissant- the dough was so crispy that I'm pretty sure others could hear the bite, and there was a generous amount of filling with fresh bananas and visible vanilla beans in the whipped cream. The espresso cookie was super soft- while I couldn't taste the espresso very clearly, I absolutely *loved* the caramel-coated cornflakes topped with sea salt. Super unique and would definitely order again. Despite their decadent appearances, none of the pastries were too sweet. Already plotting a return visit and can't recommend this shop enough!

All their pastries are fresh and made with seasonal ingredients so you will always be getting something new.

I tried their banana pudding croissant and raspberry scone. The croissant melted in my mouth, it was so flakey and buttery. The raspberry scone was soft and sweet enough. Awesome spot in Logan Square! One of my favorite bakeries in Chicago.
