Our Neighborhood Boulangerie

Prior to moving to Chicago we were not at all familiar with its many neighborhoods.  We chose Logan Square because the apartment that we fell in love with was located there.  Little did we know that it was a great part of the city with a diverse culture and plenty of good restaurants, neighborhood grocery stores, and cool bars.  There is even a French bakery just a few blocks away from our apartment. 

When my mom came to visit a couple of weeks ago, we headed over to La Boulangerie for an afternoon snack.  It is very cute and quaint with chalkboards serving as menus and the bakery cases always filled with tempting treats. There are a few small round tables and when the weather gets a bit warmer, there will be patio seating outside. We had a lemon curd filled crepe and a crepe filled with a fruit preserves, brie, and walnuts. They were delicious!  La Boulangerie also has fresh baked bread, macaroons, croissants, pastries, locally made preserves, and a few French food items.  I'm planning to work my way through the crepes menu so hopefully we'll be visiting again soon!
