Our Bakery Story

Founded in 2015 by master baker Sarah Chen and her husband Michael, Flourish Bakes began as a dream to bring authentic artisan baking to our community. With over 15 years of experience in European baking techniques, Sarah trained at the renowned Cordon Bleu before establishing our beloved neighborhood bakery.

We believe in using only the finest ingredients: organic flours, real butter, free-range eggs, and seasonal fruits sourced from local farms. Every item is handcrafted daily using traditional methods passed down through generations, ensuring each bite delivers exceptional flavor and quality.

Our commitment extends beyond baking - we're deeply rooted in our community, supporting local charities, hosting baking classes for children, and creating memorable experiences for life's special moments. From intimate birthday celebrations to grand wedding receptions, we're honored to be part of your most cherished occasions.

Today, our team of skilled bakers continues to uphold the highest standards of craftsmanship, innovation, and customer service. We're proud members of the Artisan Bakers Association and have been awarded "Best Local Bakery" three consecutive years by Chicago Tribune readers.

"I've been getting my morning coffee and pastry here for three years now. The croissants are authentically French - buttery, flaky, and absolutely perfect. The sourdough bread is the best I've found in Chicago. This place has become an essential part of my daily routine. The staff always remembers my order and greets me with a smile."

"My daughter's birthday cake was absolutely magical! The unicorn theme was executed perfectly, and she was thrilled beyond words. But what impressed me most was how delicious it tasted - not just pretty to look at. The vanilla cake was moist and flavorful, and the buttercream was smooth and not overly sweet. Will definitely be back!"
