Spotlight On: Vanille Pâtisserie

Today, we’ll focus on Vanille, an authentic French pâtisserie in the heart of Chicago.

So, what sets Vanille apart from all the rest?

#1: France... in Chicago: If you’ve traveled to France, then you know what it’s like to wander down the streets and be enticed by the delicious aromas emanating from a pâtisserie. Pâtisseries are bakeries that specialize in pastries and sweets, and they’re quintessential to the French art de vivre.  French bakeries abroad often alter their offerings in order to appeal to the home country’s tastes, but not Vanille. Since 2002 when it was initially founded, Vanille has managed the keep the heart and soul of France in its artisanal desserts, making it the ideal place for those feeling nostalgic about France’s renowned gourmet creations.

#2: Finesse and Precision: There’s a reason pastry-making is considered a “craft”: it takes time and attention, as the chef must be achieve the right balance of ingredients to create the perfect dessert. Vanille’s pastries and desserts are concocted by skilled pastry chefs who have all been classically trained in the art of pastry. The chefs’ talents can be seen through their exquisite creations, which include handmade chocolates and candies, buttery croissants, luscious cakes, and the famous Parisian macaron. And that’s only the start of it — Vanille has plenty more sweets and treats to offer!

 #3: The City Is In Love: Everyone in Chicagoland is talking about Vanille Pâtisserie and for good reason. The pastry shop was crowned the 2015 Lincoln Park Retailer of the Year and was featured on the Cooking Channel’s Unique Sweets TV show. Its croissant was named “Best Croissant” by the Chicago Tribune, and the store frequently gets praises for preserving the “Art of French Pastry” in Chicago.

If you want a real French experience without leaving the city of Chicago, visit one of Vanille’s three locations — trust us, you’ll be back for seconds!
