Floriole

The bakery favorite, now in a cup.

Our Sticky Bun Cold Brew is topped with brown sugar cinnamon cold foam that tastes just like the gooey, buttery center of a freshly baked sticky bun. Rich cold brew, warm spice, a hint of caramel sweetness, and an irresistibly creamy finish.

No fork required.

Available now at Floriole.

Strawberries Are Finally Here 🍓

June has officially arrived, and with it comes one of our favorite moments of the year: local strawberry season. After months of apples, citrus, and patiently waiting, the first berries are making their way into the bakery, and we're very ready for it. This week you'll find plenty of familiar favorites alongside a few things we think deserve a little extra attention—including a returning cake, a new summer drink, and a reminder that some of our best items are hiding in plain sight.

This Weekend’s Highlights:

A Few Things We'd Love You to Discover

Not every bakery favorite becomes an instant bestseller. Right now we're showing a little extra love to our Kouign Amann and Lemon Lavender Travel Cakes—both excellent options for breakfast, afternoon coffee, gifting, or keeping entirely for yourself. If you haven't tried them lately, consider this your nudge.

Looking Ahead:

The first strawberries of the season are arriving, which means even more berry-filled pastries and desserts are just around the corner. Summer is officially underway, and we're excited about what's coming next.

Thank you, as always, for supporting our little bakery. Whether you're stopping in for a morning croissant, lunch with friends, or an afternoon coffee break, we're grateful to be part of your routine.

If you've enjoyed a recent visit, we'd be incredibly thankful if you'd consider leaving us a 5-star Google review. It makes a bigger difference than you might think.

See you soon,

The Floriole Team 🌿

Happy Friday from Floriole —

Chicago finally feels like it’s leaning toward summer and we are fully participating. Rhubarb is everywhere, berries are right around the corner, and this weekend’s menu is stacked with things that feel equally appropriate for a picnic blanket, a dinner party, or eating standing over your kitchen counter while hiding from your family for five minutes. No judgment here.

And yes — Smoked Salmon Focaccia is back this weekend with charred spring onion cream cheese, everything seasoning vibes, and all the “bagel energy” without requiring you to wait in a 45-minute line somewhere.

This Weekend’s Highlights:

Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day pickups are underway, so if you’re headed to a gathering and would prefer to arrive looking wildly organized and thoughtful, we can help with that. Berry crisp is on deck, there are plenty of things that pair well with grilling season officially kicking off, and frankly nobody has ever been disappointed to show up carrying good bread.

Also: almond milk has officially entered the chat. Your iced latte people may now rejoice.

A Very Good Time To Be A Bakery Lover In Chicago

One thing we’re genuinely excited about right now: Chicago is finally becoming home to more and more truly excellent craft bakeries. Honestly? It’s overdue. This city deserves a thriving bread and pastry scene and we’re thrilled to see talented people opening beautiful new spaces and raising the bar for all of us.

Please go try the new spots. Support small bakeries. Eat the laminated pastry. Buy the fancy loaf. Then keep us in your rotation too. A strong bakery culture only happens when people show up for it — and Chicago feels like it’s building something really special right now.

As always, thank you for supporting our tiny bakery ecosystem — for buying bread, telling your friends, showing up for focaccia weekends, and helping us keep making beautiful things by hand in Chicago.

And if you have a spare minute, a 5-star Google review helps more than you probably realize.

See you this weekend,
Sandra & the Floriole Team

A Weekend for Gathering, Celebrating, and Eating Something Delicious

This weekend means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Maybe you’re celebrating a mom, being celebrated yourself, gathering with chosen family, showing up for someone you love, or simply trying to make it through the weekend with a really good pastry and a decent cup of coffee. Wherever you land — we’re glad you’re here.

If you pre-ordered ahead like the organized, thoughtful person you are — congratulations. You’re thriving.

If you did not? Good news: we made extras, so you can still walk into brunch, lunch, or a family gathering looking extremely prepared and full of good taste. No one needs to know this was a last-minute operation.

Everything currently available is live on the website right now — whole quiche, strawberry passionfruit pavlovas, asparagus galettes, breakfast pastries, and flower arrangements in hand-thrown pottery vases. What’s online is what we have, so if you’re eyeing something special, now is the moment to lock it in.

Coming Up Soon

Thank You!

Thank you, as always, for supporting our little bakery. We know weekends like this can hold joy, grief, celebration, nostalgia — sometimes all at once — and we’re honored to be part of your tables and traditions in whatever way feels meaningful to you.

Mother’s Day Week Is Here (Yes, Already)

If this snuck up on you, you’re not alone—but we’re here to make you look like you planned ahead all along. The cases are filling up, the good stuff is going fast, and if you want to be the person who shows up with that dessert… now’s the moment. Pro tip: our Floriole branded tins make the whole thing feel like a gift, even if you absolutely grabbed it at the last minute. No judgment.

Rhubarb, Asparagus, and Other Signs of Life

We’re leaning all the way into the season—longer days, farmers markets waking up, and pastries that actually taste like spring instead of wishful thinking. Spring galettes have officially entered the chat, and this is where things get good. Our signature flaky pastry becomes a frame for whatever’s coming out of the market right now: rhubarb doing its tart, punchy thing and asparagus having its annual main character moment. (Relax—they’re not together. We have standards.) If you needed a reason to swing by, this is it.

On the Menu This Weekend:

Looking Ahead (Don’t Sleep on This Stuff):

Thanks, as always, for showing up, supporting what we do, and keeping this place buzzing. If you’ve had a great experience lately, a 5-star Google review goes a long way—it helps more people find us (and keeps us doing what we love).

See you this weekend.
