- Serious EatsMarch 3, 2016Canelés are the greatest thing since cronuts! These sweet mini cakes are making their way onto the racks of some of the best bakers in town, but Floriole Cafe and Bakery has one you've got to try! Read more
- AmberJuly 11, 2016The passionfruit tart was so well executed it was perfect, but the kouign amann stole the show. So tasty. Quality was high and every single thing behind the counter looked great. Will be back.
Jing CDecember 15, 2016Good bread and nice selection of desserts. Definitely try the Basque cake. Boyfriend said it tastes like home made pound cake (doesn't sound like a compliment but then he couldn't stop munching!)
Zee AJuly 21, 2013Came back to grab one of their sweets-got the chocolate pot de creme-sign was misplaced but they gave it to me for the cheaper price! So sweet of them! Love this establishment amazing service n food
- Serious EatsMay 22, 2013Sandra Holl's macarons are perfectly at home in Floriole's elegant pastry case alongside seasonal baked treats. They're light, airy, and full of delicate flavor, leagues beyond usual sugary versions.
Chicago TribuneJuly 17, 2015The spinach and cheddar quiche was creamy and comforting, and the avocado toast, on their fragrant chewy bread, was simple and delicious. Read more
- Tasting TableMay 11, 2016Stop by this French-American bakery for a delicious cup of intelligentsia coffee and a beautifully caramelized kouign-amann. Read more
- Chicago TribuneJanuary 12, 2017Lincoln Park bakery Floriole is best known for its French desserts, but a surprisingly spicy mac and cheese, served for lunch only (starting at 11 a.m.), is a sleeper hit on the menu. Read more

Julian LeezacheisJanuary 16, 2018Their in-house bread and pastries are some of the best in the city, and the atmosphere makes it the perfect casual spot to go and get some work done.
ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014Pretty much anything from their pastry case will be the best in town, but seriously; that shortbread. If it's on the menu, just get it. Read more
Kingsley YoungerApril 21, 2015Featured on Unique Sweets. The Lemon Meyer Blueberry Galette looks good so does the Cherry Balsamic Brownie. I think the latter is more dairy free than the former.- Time Out ChicagoMay 23, 2012I ate the best ham-and-cheese croissant the city has to offer at Floriole. And a cream puff filled with mocha cream so luscious I wished I could bottle it and use it as lotion. -RW Read more
Diana YukariMarch 9, 2014Oh my, the spinach quiche!! They also had delicious Rooibos and a lovely upstairs space to read or get work done. I'll be coming back for the pastries soon!
- Time Out ChicagoJanuary 24, 2012The word quiche seems too pedestrian to describe this rich, smooth egg custard teamed with locally sourced vegetables, quality cheeses and, occasionally, meats (the selection changes daily). Read more
- JenKuduJuly 3, 2013If you love key lime pie, try the passionfruit tart! It's tart and delicious. The quiche is pretty incredible too. I'm glad I don't live nearby ;)
Adam LondonAugust 6, 2014You literally can't go wrong here. Try to special quiche, any sandwich, baked goods, and coffee or a personal pot of tea.- Time Out ChicagoDecember 6, 2011Try the pineapple upside-down cake from our 100 Best list:Sandra Holl turns a dessert most associated with the Midwest, the ’70s and canned pineapple rings into something lovely and sophisticated
Julie BrownMarch 8, 2014Love their jams, they usually have more flavors than just what is on the counter. Ask what is on the shelf.- Tasting TableJune 14, 2012Go in the morning for breakfast baguette sandwiches of roasted tomatoes and cheddar, or bacon, baked egg, pickled onions and cheese: Read more
Kate SchafferDecember 10, 2015Love the buckwheat scone and pecan sticky bun. Always pleasant staff. Very quiet place.
Time Out Chicago KidsJanuary 11, 2012Try the cornmeal lime sables , which are only 50 cents apiece. These small, coinlike cookies, kept in a big glass jar near the cash register, are made to be eaten by the handful. Read more
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014The pastry case is stocked with sweets ranging from almond cream-filled croissants to beautiful fruit galettes. Read more

Marissa YennieFebruary 20, 2015Everything. Any of the baked goods, daily special soups and sandwiches.- Zee AFebruary 15, 2013Read this place had one of eat quiche in Chicago-definitely live up to the name!
ChristopherSeptember 8, 2013Great pastries, terrible service. After repeating three times we would be eating "here", and waiting 20 mins, they served us everything to-go, and just told us to unpack it ourselves
- Serious EatsMay 24, 2013B.A.D.: Sure, it's kind of a BLT variant, but when was the last time you had yested corn bread? What about almond date spread?
If you stay until closing, they will offer you free pastries!

"Banana chocolate chip cupcake with chocolate frosting is a little bit if heaven!"
Patty Kernan - 6.0
"Just an average park with nothing special a few blocks away from DePaul. Nice garden in the south east corner but that is pretty much it. Just open grass and a playground for kids."
John Hankus - 7.8
"Newly renovated with super comfy chairs! Get there early to pick seats because it fills up fast! Park behind the theater in the uncovered lot, it's $2 vs $5.50 for the garage"
