“You can tell how much the people who run the place care about everything, from the quality of the breads, pastries, and coffee, to how happy the customers are. …Some of the loveliest breads and pastries I’ve seen in America. They certainly rival anything I’ve seen in France – and trust me, I’ve seen a lot of bread.”

“I ate a sandwich at Floriole earlier this fall that just about melted my face off. (In a good way.)”
“What started out as a stand at the Green City Market has expanded into an airy bi-level space augmented by flower-bedecked, could-be-Paris sidewalk seating. The young staff is friendly, the MO is serve yourself, and just about everything we’ve sampled has been divine.”
– Chicago Magazine, September 2010
“Hands down, the best croissants in the city. Superb cakes, dreamy cream puffs, sophisticated (yet also rustic) sandwiches and insane brownies make this bakery a crucial player in Chicago’s culinary scene.”
Named Best Chicago Bakery
