Floriole Cafe & Bakery
8.8
Floriole evolved from a Green City Market stand into a two-level Lincoln Park cafe where French-inspired croissants, kouign amann, and rustic breads anchor an all-day pastry and lunch program. Between the upstairs loft seating, seasonal sandwiches, and a pastry case that regularly lands on best-of lists, it’s the neighborhood’s most fully realized bakery-cafe experience.
Must-Try Dishes:
Kouign Amann, Blueberry Sourdough Muffin, Parisian Ham Sandwich
