That Little French Guy French Bakery Café

Atmosphere: It looks and feels like an indie coffee bar in Highland Park. That means it's larger than the Google Maps photos suggest. If one's nose pays attention it will smell the stuffiness of an older Illinois, not French, building, such as a really old public library. That's kind of cool. Service: Mostly younger locals, likely high school aged, work here. They're Highland Park (so better off) Gen Z meaning they're a bit shy but that doesn't mean they don't give decent service. Food: The always mentioned Croque Madame is nothing special. Too much bread and not enough of the rest. The coffee is also meh like. The vibe makes this eatery busier than those two offerings.

They used to have these amazing almond croissants and thats what kept us goimg back there. Not anymore. The croissants are half the size,hard and dry now, not as moist and delicious as before. Whomever made that executive decission it was a very poor one and lost them some business. Not to mention the very poor service, where the server pushes you from behind before you found your table and forces you to grab the 2 cups of coffee from his hands instead of having the patience to wait for you to sit down and them put the coffee on your table and grab the platic order number thingy from you. We had to make that exchange standing up on our way to our table. Extremely unpleasant and unprofessiona...

I'm absolutely in love with this place! Their pastries are incredible. The croissants are perfect—super fresh and delightful. The sandwiches and side salads are also excellent. The coffee has a nice strong flavor! I'm especially addicted to the chocolate mousse, which has a thin layer of caramel at the bottom—it's divine! You really can't go wrong here, but be prepared to hunt for a seat on busy weekends!

I stopped by for brunch on my way out of town and had a wonderful experience. I ordered the croque madame, which was served with a light side salad, along with a chai latte and a croissant to take with me. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. It was exactly what I needed that day, and I highly recommend giving it a try. Food: 5/5

Everything here is incredibly delicious and reasonably priced! The atmosphere is beautiful, and the owner, Ben, is so kind! I've been coming here since the very first day, and I highly recommend it to everyone! My personal favorite is the Berries and Vanilla French toast! Service: Dine-in, Meal type: Brunch.

The restaurant needs more outdoor seating, and by 11:00 am, the raisin croissants were all gone. The kitchen was incredibly hot, and I ended up with blisters on my lips. I'm not very happy with this experience.
