Floriole is a beautiful pastry shop located just down the street from Trebes Park. The interior is stunning and the pastries are wonderful. However, either order ahead or show up early as there is a long wait time. We made sure to stop by about 2 hours before going to a workout class and it took about 45 minutes for two lattes and two pastries to be ready after waiting in line. I can't fault them for being a victim of their own success. I would say it's worth the wait if you don't have anywhere to be as it was one of the most delicate and buttery croissants I've had in the city. The Salted Tahini Caramel Latte was fine, it was decent coffee but didn't necessarily wow me with its flavor. They have a few seats near the entrance and a pretty big open space upstairs. The staff is friendly and didn't rush anyone ordering.

Floriole Cafe & Bakery was exactly the cozy, welcoming spot we needed to start our morning. The moment we walked in, the air was thick with the warm, heavenly aromas of freshly brewed coffee and pastries straight out of the oven. It's one of those places that feels like a hidden treasure; with its bright, open space and calm vibe, it's the perfect setting to kick off the day. We ordered a mocha, and it was love at first sip. Rich and velvety, the coffee was perfectly balanced--not too sweet, but with just the right hint of chocolate to complement the deep, full-bodied espresso. The foam on top was light and creamy, adding a luxurious touch to each sip. For breakfast, we couldn't resist the Honey Pecan Sticky Bun. Made from flaky croissant dough rolled around a cinnamon-sugar filling, each bite was an indulgent experience. The bun was perfectly golden, with a fluffy interior and just the right amount of crispness on the edges. The orange zest in the filling brought a subtle citrus note that balanced the gooey, caramelized honey glaze beautifully, while the toasted pecans on top added a delightful crunch and a hint of warmth. The combination of textures and flavors was simply out of this world. Floriole Cafe & Bakery is a true gem--whether you're craving expertly crafted coffee or a pastry that feels like a work of art, it's a spot that leaves a lasting impression. We'll definitely be back for more!

Parisian Sandwich: very good, but wish the cheese had a slightly stronger taste Chive Scone: SO GOOD, had such a fluffy texture which is so hard to find in a scone Honey pecan sticky bun: very good texture Salted tahini caramel latte: not sweet at all, but can def taste the tahini

I've been to Floriole several times for carryout and have never been disappointed in their amazing pastries or their service. Besides offering beautiful and delicious food, their staff are the friendliest I've encountered among high-end bakeries in the city. One of the things that impresses me about Floriole is that baked goods that I expected to be just fine have been really great. One example is their blueberry muffins - packed with berries and not overly sweet or oily, these are the only muffins I've had that I'd purposefully order again. Their caneles are off the charts good. I've tried them elsewhere before and didn't understand what the hype was about...but now I understand based on Floriole's caneles. I've had a cappuccino there once. On the upside, the barista made it the perfect drinking temperature so that I could start drinking it right away on my walk home (kudos!). But it was too sour for my taste in espresso and I'll skip the coffee bar the next time. A quick note that the space is beautiful. When I have the time someday, it's the kind of modern, airy space I would love to spend time in.

My partner and I came here on a rainy Sunday afternoon and upstairs was closed unfortunately. After hearing so much about this place I was excited to come. It was charming inside, and had inviting atmosphere. The array of baked goods definitely caught my attention. I got the strawberry shortcake. It was visually appealing with golden buttery shortcake biscuits and vibrant red strawberries with a dollop of whipped cream. The biscuit was crumbly and tender with a buttery flavor. The strawberries were macerated with sugar and sweet. I don't know if it was worth the price though. My partner enjoyed her latte. I'd come back to try their Parisian sandwich and cannelle.

Are you looking for Chicago's best canelé? Canelés are custardy, vanilla scented French pastries. They're made in a fluted mold that has been brushed with beeswax. They're crispy on the outside and moist inside. They're my favorite! Not all canelés are created equal, and I found Chicago's best canelé at Floriole Cafe & Bakery.

Cute cafe & bakery in west Lincoln park! The main thing that sets Floriole apart is the amount of interior space. For a cafe, there is so much great seating downstairs, upstairs, and outside (it looked like they have a small rooftop porch in the summer as well as seating outside the storefront!). 8 of us were able to sit comfortably at the large table upstairs. I offered a cold brew and a chocolate croissant. The croissant was flaky, light, and flavorful but I wish it had more chocolate. They had a nice variety of other tarts and breads too. My friends got a variety of things and everything was enjoyed. I'd like to come back and try other things here! For a bakery it is a little on the expensive side (I think my coffee and croissant was $12).

the kumquat and almond tart is delicious, sweet & refreshing, although i didnt taste as much almond as i would have liked. the shell of the tart itself is perfectly baked - not too soft but not too hard, an immaculate texture with a perfect bite. one thing to note here is that the coffees are a bit on the sweeter side, according to a friend who got the lavender latte. you might want to request a reduction in syrup if that isn't your thing. I love the upstairs seating and at 9am on a Sunday we were able to very comfortably seat 8 of us at a table, and it started filling up closer to 10ish. it wasn't too loud, either. I also love all of the unique pastry options and how the menu changes every time you come in. we all agreed this was a beautiful spot and I'll definitely be back!

What a charming little bakery, delightfully crafting both timeless classics and intriguing surprises that cater to those seeking unexpected flavor combinations based on what ingredients are in season. Personally, I love this because I can always walk-in expecting something new on their menu! In addition to their pastries and breads, they also serve coffee for those looking for a caffeinated pairing. Stepping inside, you're embraced by a warm and inviting ambiance given the wooden interiors, high ceilings, and natural light that comes pouring in from their windows. The space can get quite busy especially on weekends and may be hard to find a seat. However, the space extends both downstairs and upstairs, so you can try your luck. For those seeking a place to do laptop work, I would not recommend given that they do not have public wi-fi, nor outlets to charge up. It can also be noisy on said weekends--definitely more of a place to sit down have a coffee and pastry and catch up with others. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

Glad to have finally paid Floriole a visit after many recommendations! With so many interesting flavors of pastries, it was hard to decide on just a couple. The seasonal apricot rosemary scone and the raspberry rye cookie particularly caught my eye. Although an intriguing flavor combination, I felt that the rosemary overpowered the apricot and brought too much of a savory profile to an otherwise sweet pastry. I loved how the thumbprint cookie's dough was delicately infused with raspberry, but I was not sold on the large chunks of sea salt on top. The interior is charming and staff was extremely friendly and patient. Overall, Floriole offers high quality pastries and I would recommend giving the shop a visit. Next time, I will definitely try the sandwiches or quiche!
