Floriole Cafe & Bakery

The Best Croissants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Plenty of tempting baked goods line Floriole’s pastry case, just waiting to send you into a tailspin over choosing between the blueberry sourdough muffin, canele, and maple-bacon-chive scone. Get them all, and a croissant as well. The plain ones aren’t much to look at, but breaking into the crackly exterior rivals radio static and unveils squishy layers that bounce back into place. They’re a delight to listen to, and even more delightful to eat thanks to a slightly salty flavor that begs to be paired with Nutella or some other sweet spread." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
