La Baguette Bakery - Chicago

Well-stocked panaderia, you find the warm bread, recien hecho.

The cake so delicious of 3 milks has too much egg shell.... give it a little my gums! :

This has been a favorite for decades. It offers healthy food prepared well. We were there during the hours of Sunday Brunch. My companion chose a quiche which she enjoyed along with fresh fruit on the side. I opted for the Brunch offering of French style Eggs Benedict. Translation: 2 poached eggs on top of sliced ham on top of puffed pastry and of course some Hollandaise sauce. It was accompanied by a plate of fresh fruit: banana half, red grapes,and cantaloupe slice and a small glass of fresh orange juice. On top of that a croissant! All for $15.50! A lot of food requiring that the croissant go home with me. Oddly the eggs Benedict were rather bland. My usual choice is a Salade Nicoise. I will have that next time. It is a rare dish anymore......even in Nice! The coffee was good,too. It is such a favorite because it is consistent as well. The staff is gracious. Some notes: the formerly free back parking lot is now charging. I look forward to a return visit soon. Merci beaucoup!

I am allergic to onions and they are famous for their French onion soup. I ordered cream of mushroom soup and a French dip sandwich. Came out looked delicious. First spoon of soup, guess what was in it, onions. Onions are not supposed to be in mushroom soup. Dipped my French dip in the au jou and guess what was on the roast beef, onions. Thank God a had a nice French roll and butter for lunch. I'll bet their chicken noodle soup has onions as well.

I just love the pan at this place. The conchas, cinnamon cookies, campechanas and tres leches. Everything is delicious and the new place so nice and cozy. Thank you for everything and the employees are so friendly. Keep up the good work.
