Phlour Bakery & Cafe
1138 W Bryn Mawr Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Phlour is a neighborhood gem where serious sourdough craftsmanship meets a bright, airy gathering space that feels equally suited to a solo coffee ritual or catching up with friends. Their pastries are genuine showstoppers—reviewers rave about croissants with real heft and flavor, cardamom buns, and chocolate chip cookies that inspire people to stop mid-bite and tell others about them. It's the kind of place locals return to weekly for the baked goods and traditional coffee drinks, where the slow, convivial atmosphere makes you want to linger.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

It is rare for me to stop eating after a bite to tell others about food, but the first bite of this ham and cheese croissant is that rare exception. The croissant is huge, often a worrisome sign in pastries where size often substitutes for taste and quality. Not at all the case…
A bright and airy cafe with a lovely wall display of fresh breads and sourdoughs. We tried the cardamom bun, banana crumble, coffee, and picked up a day-old sourdough loaf. The cardamom bun leaned a bit mild in flavor, while the banana crumble was moist, fragrant, and the…
