Just went to Fancy Plants for the first time over the weekend. Had the croissant sandwich and it was fantastic. They have a whole case of vegan and gluten free pastries and a coffee setup, too. Highly recommended and can't wait to return.

One of my go to’s when I’m in Chicago. I love this place. I get the lox bagel on gluten free bread. It is so yummy! They also always have muffins from Mindful Baking, which I grab a few every time I visit. The Ube Muffin is my now favorite flavor they offer at this time, but they are all good. I prefer when they are on the moist and more gooey side than the over baked. My friend and I love to sit at their outside seating for lunch. When I first started going there (which has been quite a while) everyone working there seemed so happy to help all the time and see us. I would sadly say that we don’t get those employees anymore. None the less, they are still very helpful and I will always stop in for a treat when I’m in town.
