Vanille Patisserie - by bloomspot Staff Writers

Discover a sweet slice of Paris at Vanille Patisserie, the finest French bakery this side of the Pyrenees. Founded by two master pâtissiers, Vanille Patisserie brings sophisticated French tastes to Chicago, using only the finest chocolates, sugars and the freshest seasonal ingredients to produce mouthwatering culinary creations.

Lose yourself in a heavenly world of decadent chocolate cakes, luscious nougat, delicate French macarons, silky creme brulee, and exquisite seasonal tartlets. Bite into an almond croissant, light, buttery, and fresh from the oven. Or try a divine entrement, a mousse cake staple of French patisseries. If the options are too overwhelming, indulge in the exclusive sampler box, containing enough pastries and confections to satisfy the sweetest of teeth.

Do like the Parisians do; slow down to savor the delicacies of Vanille Patisserie and enjoy the sweet life, French-style.

"Here are the best croissants in Chicago with almond types, being my favorites. Lightly sweet with real butter flavor, delicately flaky layers and perfectly caramelized to a deep brown."

"Ever wondered where you can get the best maracon? Well, at Ladurée, of course. But Chicago is no Paris. So you got to go to the next best place - Vanille Patisserie."

"We got so may compliments on how good our wedding cake tasted. Given that this was a fondant cake, that is a big compliment since fondant is supposed to taste bad."
