Good Ambler
216 N Peoria St, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Good Ambler is a sprawling Fulton Market gem that makes nearly everything in-house, from their reliably good coffee to genuinely exceptional French-style pastries that rival those in France itself—their croissants and kouign amann are standouts worth the trip. The soaring ceilings and chandeliers create an unexpectedly elegant backdrop for casual hangouts or focused study sessions, though weekend seating does get competitive. At just $5.25 for a latte, it's an affordable escape that nails the balance between serious pastry craftsmanship and unpretentious, welcoming atmosphere.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

2nd time here. Great shop that makes everything in house! A bit competitive for seating on weekends, so take what you can. Coffee is pretty good, only a latte (sans changes) is only $5.25. Sitting at the bar in the back is a hidden gem for people watching of the bakers.
