St Roger Abbey French Organic Pâtisserie
1101 Central Ave, Wilmette, IL
Crema's Take
“Run by French nuns who craft authentic French pastries with a restrained hand on sugar, St Roger Abbey feels like stepping into a countryside village bakery where every bite supports their charitable mission. The coffee pairs beautifully with their standout baked goods—locals rave about the apple tart—and the peaceful, unhurried atmosphere invites you to linger over your cup like you have nowhere else to be. It's the kind of place that sneaks into your heart at a market and keeps you searching for it long after.”

Fell in love at the Kris Kringle Market and thank goodness I paid with Apple Pay so I would be able to see where this taste of heaven came from 🥰which I totally forgot the sisters business name by the time I enjoyed this amazing tart! Had I known i would have bought MORE!! But now I know where to find them! Sooooo good!!🥰. Served by such pleasant beautiful people, thank you sisters❤️
Great experience and love the bakery items. Not too sweet, just the way I love it. Great coffee and great environment to relax and enjoy the town and people.
I miss St Roger Abbey’s old location! They moved an hour away from where I live, so imagine my delight when I saw them at West Dundee’s Heritage Fest? All their baked goods, especially the apple tart, is divine!
Beautiful pastries and lovely service. Feels like you are in the French countryside. Staffed by nuns from France that do this work to raise money for other charitable work. They also sell an assortment of cheeses, teas, wines other savory food items, and even some toiletries.
A very pleasant and calm vibe. The food is very good and similar in taste to how you’d find in France :). The place has very good options on cake, pastries and baked goods. I got the vanilla Creme puff and Leek Pastry. Both very delish. Highly recommend visiting when you’re in the mood for something chill and at home feeling. Thank you Sisters (Staff) for a welcoming time.
