Good coffee. Pastries were hit or miss. Croissant was pretty good. Beignets aren’t beignets - just donuts with a butter wash and sugar sprinkled on top. Prices are too high for what you get.

This is one of the best bakeries in Chicago! Many excellent breads a d pastries. Truly exceptional baguettes! It is open until 2pm but they often run out of inventory around noon; that is how good their goods are!

I love their chocolate twists! Takes no more than 30 seconds, they move quickly and kindly!

Awesome bakery! Their quality is right up there with Parisian patisseries! I gladly make the 3.5 mile round trip walk to get these...

located in old town district in chicago, this french bakery is a must stop. The Alsace cookies are their signature, which was very excellent and I ate the whole bag myself over two days, but the almond croissant didn’t taste fresh, not flaky and crispy as you expect a croissant. Quiche was very good and good coffee too. next time I will try their baguette, it smelled and looked great.

After looking over their selection we opted for the almond croissant and apple turnover. They did not disappoint! We will be back.

The raspberry beignet and the chocolate croissant were both amazing. The staff was very pleasant too. I’m giving it a lower rating only because we couldn’t find a place to sit nearby and enjoy them hot with our coffee. We had to eat it on the go and that was disastrous in this unforgiving March weather.

I'm visiting from Seattle which has its fair share of French bakeries. I have to say, La Fournette is the closest to the real thing that I've had stateside. The foodstuffs and the coffee are AMAZING.

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 is everything delicious (pick up a baguette or half a loaf of sourdough!) but the history here alone is worth visiting. You can also order in advanced for larger parties and specialty items, especially around the holiday season; everything is yum! The coffee is simple, standard, so don’t expect a crafted drink with syrups. Highly recommend their classic croissant and apricot pastry! No matter what you get, ASK FOR IT TO BE WARMED!

Nice, but croissants and other pastries are too dark (over baked or oven temperature too high). It's really a pity because the pastry itself is good, but the dark brown top layers spoil the taste. Croissants should be golden brown.
