Field Trip: Fritz's Pastry

A couple weeks ago I went on a field trip on my day off. It was fabulous. I had received an email a couple days before from Daily Candy. Daily Candy highlights awesome things in Chicago: new things to try, new places to go, trends that are on the up and up. It’s quite handy. Not to mention, their ‘reports’ are brief and witty, making for a good read.

So, Daily Candy told me about this awesome new bakery – in my neighborhood. Since it was a beautiful day, I decided to take a little trip. I visited Fritz Pastry on Diversey.

I ate a Lemon Marcaron (not to be confused with a macaroon). Which tasted like a little bite of lemon bar flavored heaven crossed with some crunchless meringue. Then I had a brioche with hazelnut and milk chocolate. I also had a chocolate croissant.

I liked this bakery. It was warm and well lit. Reasonably priced. Everything tasted very good and the service was great. The only thing I wished for was free wi-fi.
