La Fournette Reviews

A great place to find some French yummy food! The staff is friendly, the food is very good. I love La Fournette!

Pleasant staff, good food, my friend burped, it was a good day.

Best almond croissant and coffee! you must visit this place

My favorite bakery in Chicagoland! Run by Pierre and Michelle who had a bakery in Alsace France. Their almond croissants are first-rate, beignets are delicious, and lattes well made!

Coffee was excellent, as was the croissant! Very authentic, and love being able to order in French.

Delicious bakery with a little street side patio to kick back in.

Always a great place to go for fresh wonderful French food, pastries and various drinks/coffees. Be aware that most fellow customers do not follow their COVID rules on the door and window. I blame my fellow customers for their disregard, however the restaurant doesn't exactly crackdown either. I want them and us to be well enough to return. But none the less this is a must go to place.

Only had the French onion soup and it was a success. Everything else looked delicious as well, too bad couldn't try it all.

Food:
- Ham and cheese croissant - very good mix of flavors, and nice flaky croissant; they put it in the oven to heat it up before serving it
- Chocolate pound cake - really dense and chocolatey

Ambiance:
- a few seat at the front (cute atmosphere), and some in the back.

The woman who helped us was really nice.

La Fournette is a cute bakery with excellent food. My favorite thing is the Macaroons especially the Vanilla and the Raspberry. Their hot foods like the Ham and Cheese Croissant are really good too!

I really really really love their almond croissants. The almond filling is spread in a way that you get some in each bite. And I dont know how they do it but the veggie quiche is just right.

La Fournette is my favorite bakery in Chicago! The croissants are amazing and they offer a great selection of espresso drinks and breakfast foods. The vegetable quiche is my favorite. If you re looking for fresh baked bread or a delicious breakfast, this is a great spot to check out!

The macarons were a crowd favorite. Everything I have gotten from there so far has been good.

Very cute place reminds me of the time I spent in France. Limited selection of stuff for a patisserie but the French onion was good and the macaroons were great!

Fantastic place! I love coming here for lunch. Sandwiches are delicious. Staff are always really pleasant. And the baked goods are amazing.

Outstanding bread, authentic recipes from France. One of the best bakeries in the city. They have a cafe as well with light meals.

Authentic French bakery in the heart of Old Town; great selection of coffees, breads, crepes, pastries, including flaky croissants and great macrons and made-from-scratch breads and chocolate hazelnut spread; friendly service from the French staff; small patio on the sidewalk for outdoor seating

It's a French bakery, i.e., if you can't get there in the morning, go another day! Top quality fresh bread, pastry to die for and the macarons (macaroons are different) are crunch, then melt in your mouth sublime. No wonder this place is popular and well rated! Very much a consumer, not a business partner, I, just love this place

Everything you'd expect from a bakery (espresso, pastries, savory snacks, gret bread) except for the arrogance of the guy at the counter

I love this bakery! It reminds me of the little bakeries I've visited in France and the food is delicious!

Quiet, casual spot perfect for a coffee drink and pastry (almond croissant my favorite). On the way out, grab a loaf of fresh bread for home.

A very cute French bakery! Great service from employees who were really professional! Loved the savory things our group shared and the chocolate croissants were delish! But many of the sweets weren't up to the same level. The macarons, and this reeeeally pains me to say, were just average compared to macarons offered by other shops in the city. Will definitely stop by in the future whenever I'm in the area!

Fantastic food, service and ambiance! On a cold afternoon in Old Town stumbled in for a late lunch. After much deliberation (and patience from behind the counter) I ordered the savory crepe of the day. The crepe was perfect - hot crepe filled with egg, cheese, onion, tomato, bacon and ham!! Would definitely come back to try a sweet crepe next time. In case you like to know more about your coffee, I learned that they brew Intelligentsia coffee.

It is a nice little bakery in the heart of old town. I ordered a variety of macaroons. I liked most of them, but some of them left a lot to be desired because they were stale.

Not as delicious as it was supposed too but very European style cafe. I liked it especially if you go for a tea or afternoon treat.

High quality food, great coffees that won't burn your tongue off. Service is excellent.

There are not enough good things I can say about this place. Coffee, food, and treats are so good. Staff is very friendly and inviting.

Best croissant I've had outside of europe. The croque monsieur, coffee and tea are excellent also

Amazing French bakery. Absolutely love their baguettes, croissants and beignets.Lovely atmosphere like in old good Europe.

They do not make customers wear masks.

Profit over safety = bad ethics.

Good quality of food and coffee but you're looking for a cafe to do work in don't come here there are NO outlets!!!!!

La Fournette is simply quality. Amazing croissants, great specialty bread, and a lot of other treats that I have not yet had a chance to sample but I cannot wait togo back for. The macaroons looked especially enticing, so that s something to look forward to on my next visit.

Excellent food. The owner and her son were very gracious and answered all of my questions about French pastries with a smile. I loved this place. Keep up the good work.

This place does it for me. I will be back with my coworkers. Bring your appetite because portions are filling. Not close to my job, I wish it was.

Great spot that's easy to get to. Great atmosphere. Loved the almond croissant

Great breakfast spot. I love their Quiche Lorraine, beignets, and croissants. The staff are all very kind and the interior space is nice. The format is counter serve and there is not a lot of seating, but I ve never had an issue finding a spot as most people are taking things to go. Highly recommend for a quick breakfast in old town.

Great croissants, baguettes, olive bread and soups !!! I love this place
Best French bakery in Chicago :)

Good coffee and pastry. Great french onion soup. Macarons however lacked flavour in cookie and filling and were a let-down.

Pretty decent macaroons, at least considering we're on the wrong side of the Atlantic as far as these delicacies are concerned. Great bread!

A place to find a baguette or a good sandwich with sausage like in France? It's here. You of course also have pastries and macaroons. The team is pleasant and cheerful.

My go-to for incredible coffee, delicious pastries, and exceptional service!

I like French so i needed to try this cafe. The croissants are perfect. The beignets are excellent. The service unfortunately is not as good. The guy server behind the counter that day seem very impatient (with folded arms and not smiling at all).

This local bakery is a dream come true! A wide variety, efficient service, fresh smells and eats, authentic goods, all for a great price! I ve tried cafes all around this area but the pastries are the best in value at La Fournette. Not only are the pastries and breads delicious, but the history here alone is worth visiting. Due to COVID-19, all safety precautions have been taken. There are also a lot of baked goods for larger parties and specialty items that can be ordered ahead of time; everything looks delicious! I haven t tried the coffee and drinks yet, but I plan to take a bite of everything on the menu by summer Highly recommend their quiche and apricot pastry!

Food is fresh, coffee is amazing, service is impeccable, and they say bonjour when you walk in.

La Fournette has the best macarons!! The shell has just the right crisp, chewy center and amazing fillings! You gotta try them!

Good sandwich. Real french staff. The place is kept cold and has uncomfortable seating. I would have stayed all day and spent more if it was more comfortable.

Stopped by there today to try their macarons in a variety of flavors. Ordered a half dozen, and 5 out of 6 were good or great, their chocolate one was particularly good. However, one macaron, the mango one, was totally overcooked, and was crunchy the whole way through, having the consistency of a nilla wafer, which is all wrong for a macaron.

Outstanding little, or should I say long, place. Food is tasty and the deserts are well made. Customer service has great attitudes. Fun to talk to.

My Husband and I love France especially the town of Elsace when my hubby found you for my Croissants recently......my Search in America is over!!! Thank you for bringing the authentic tastes here to us!!

French quality on everything, sourdough bread is the best!! Sweets are delicious but it is quite expensive!

I love this place so much their croissants are amazing. Please consider moving one of your bakeries in Glenview it would be so nice and a lot of people would enjoy it. There are so many places for lease.

We buy your baguette every day at nearby Mariano's. It tastes very much like what we enjoyed having in France. However, the texture is very uneven with holes ranging in 3/4 inch in diameter in the middle of the bread. Is there any solution to have more even texture?

What's not love about a French bakery. The latte was excellent. I'm a little picky about my croissants and these ones were good. Did not need to be heated to appreciate, but nowhere near perfection. Good service, nice atmosphere for eating in and a real bakery with an excellent selection of over the counter products.

Authentic French bakery in every way. Breadn pastry. Sandwiches. They even speak French but then they are French.

My favorite bakery and a great place to grab a coffee.

Where else to go besides here for bread made with love.... ummm ... think about it.... nowhere

This place is dangerous...dangerously delicious. Everything from the baguettes to the brioche are divine. The croissants are flaky and buttery. The quiche is filling. The nicoise is a perfect light lunch. I always feel like I am in France the minute I walk in the door. Friendly staff. Great service. Love this place.

Their Chocolate Twist pastry is amazing. A perfect balance of flakiness, sweetness, and "chocolateness". A must try!

Amazing bakery, everything I tried was delicious. I had one of the savory crepes, the almond croissants (my favorite), quiche and bread. I don t think it s possible to choose something bad on their menu. I suggest trying as much as possible. Next time I can t wait to get some macaroons.

Yesterday, October 27, I stopped in this place to have an almond croissant . It was the best croissant I have try in my life. 'I'm more than 50. Even in Paris I didn't have something so delicious as this. Thanks

Great coffee, great bread, great pastries, great place.

Lovely place! Best cappuccino and truly french pastries. Will definitely come back!
