Cafe Fleurette - Wilmette

Rachel is the best – fast to know your name and welcome you with a welcoming smile and the most delicious breads and pastries. Oh, if I could eat a chocolate croissant every day! Okay, go to my annual Thanksgiving order for cakes and bread.

If one seeks proper croissant for a light breakfast up north, Café Fleurette is the only choice. True, there is no facility to warm and no proper china for coffee, but beignets and pain raisin beckon distraction. An array of baguette and other artisinal bread are also available for later in the day. Come early as bread this good doesn't last; open until 10 weekdays.

Located inside the Winnetka train building [no ticket sales]. Excellent morning coffee, French croissants, sweet rolls and specialty breads served very quickly so that you don't miss your train.

We drove from LakeForest to go here. Can not say enough wonderful things about this place. The breads and bakery items are outstanding. We bought what ever she had left by 9am. Excellent job, lovely lady.

Stopd today when I was in the area of Winnetka. I had her almond croissants and it was incredible!!!! It wasn't excessively sweet what I enjoyed. I will have to come back for more
