American bakeries range from wholesale operations that supply restaurants to neighborhood shops that sell bread, pastries, cookies and cakes over the counter, and many of them also pour coffee. Bagel shops boil and bake on site and sell out of favorite flavors by late morning; donut shops open before dawn and are often family-run; patisseries and cake studios take custom orders for weddings and birthdays and usually need one to two weeks' notice. Ice cream parlors, gelato shops and frozen yogurt bars are seasonal in the northern states and year-round in the South and on the West Coast. Prices are posted per item, by the dozen or by the pound, and most shops now take cards and mobile payment.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 7 am–2 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm.

I love this place and have gotten delivery from them multiple times (typically croissants, sourdough bread, and the occasional other item), but something's been off recently. The croissants have been smaller, my most recent order was wrong (got a chocolate croissant instead of a chocolate twist), and they've also stopped individually wrapping pastry items for delivery orders. I don't know if they've hired new staff that hasn't been trained adequately or what's going on.

It’s my favorite bakery in Chicago. Everything is delicious from sandwiches to pastries. Today I had the coconut rocher… just perfection in your mouth.

La Fournette was an incredible little bakery. Walk in and you get a “bonjour” right away, which honestly set the tone. Smelled amazing. Pastries everywhere on display, way too many good options to choose from. But I came for one thing. A classic Saucisson Sec Sandwich. Been chasing that since I had it in Paris. And yeah… this one hit. The baguette was exactly how it should be. Crusty, a little toasty, nice crunch when you bite in, but soft inside. The butter was simple but made a big difference, creamy and just enough to bring everything together. The sausage had that deep, cured flavor, a little salty, a little earthy. Then the cornichons cut through it with that sharp, tangy bite. Every bite had that mix of crunch, richness, and acidity, just done right. That’s what made it so good. Place itself is cozy, and the people working there were great. I’ll definitely be back… still thinking about those pastries too.

It’s the real deal! The owner and employees are French, and will welcome you in with a “bonjour”. Easily the best pastries I’ve had outside of Europe, and I’ve looked long and hard! The baguettes are delicious, too.

We were happy to find this cozy and pleasant pastry shop. It was a 50 min walk from where we were, but it was worth it to escape the boring and plain touristic options we saw around the hotels around the Loop. You open the doors and immediatly smell the aromas of good butter and flour. The staff is friendly and welcoming. We loved the croissants and we ordered a loaf of bread to take back to St Louis, and it tasted great next morning! The coffee is not the greatest, but it is ok.
