Went for the first time and it was a treat for sure. I tried the eclair, chocolate croissant and shared a green salad...everything was delicious.

This place is so under the radar and it's my favorite lunch spot downtown. Everything tastes so amazing and fresh. Made in house daily. Can never resist the chocolate almond croissant-delicious.

Try the mini goat cheese éclair: a classic choux pastry shell filled with a divine savory mix of whipped goat cheese, olive oil, thyme and pistachios drizzled with honey. Also available as a sandwich. Read more

It is comforting to stop in here for a quick cup of coffee and a light lunch, the smell of freshly baked bread reminds me of Europe.

Sneaky delicious. Great for take-away lunch. Huge sandwiches, generous salads, tasty breads.

Croissants come in lots of flavors (e.g. Chocolate cherry, chocolate almond) ... they are better than the waffles

The Belgium Chicken Curry Salad sandwich is outta this world! Hands down, one of my favorite places on the city.

I am surprised to see people are saying cheap. It is not Wow just OKAY and very OKAY. The almond croissant and chocolate Belgium one is okay. Overall overpriced with some attitude from the owner

I've never had a pistachio croissant before, and I can't imagine going back to those dark times.
Eric StreeperJanuary 6, 2011
Chocolate croissants are the specialty here. The bread is fluffy and delicious, Belgian hot chocolate is rich and creamy, and not overly-sweet.

Nathalie BernalAugust 4, 2013
Eh the macaroons were too heavy (real macaroons are airy and soft) and the croissant was plain and tough. Not my favorite place in Chicago!
