Pan Artesanal is only open Saturdays and Sundays at 8am sharp (people line up at 7:30am, so dress for the weather), and the very occasional day [ahead of a major holiday (eg Xmas Eve) for pre-orders]. When they run out of something, that's it until their next day open. Well worth waiting for -- all pastries are delectable. Sandwiches easily feed two!

Wanted to visit this place for a long time, did not disappoint! The croissants were delicious, not overly sweet. For food we got the chilaquiles with steak, it was very flavorful. Although it was busy, staff was friendly, service was very efficient.

Came here on a Saturday morning. I ordered a steak taco, salsa, Verde, egg sandwich, cinnamon roll, pan de elote, and a pistachio croissant. we arrived around 9:30 AM. There was a line but it moved quickly. The staff is very efficient. The ambience is very festive with an amazing playlist. This is the best cinnamon roll. I've had in Chicago. The tortilla is handmade and the steak is very tender and flavorful. They have three different types of salsas that you can choose from. It definitely worth getting here at 8a. I plan on going tomorrow to try the guava and cheese croissant and the strawberry and cheese empanada.

Three words. Chile. Relleno. Croissant. But truly, this place is a gem. Been going here for 5 years, my favorite bakery in Chicago. Unique fusion of French pastry technique with the Mexican flavors the two sisters proudly bring to the table. They sell out quickly on the weekends, and the prices feel slightly higher than they used to, but it's completely worth it. I've never met a bakery quite like this one. Everything with a twist. Good savory and sweet options and seasonal favorites. Overall good vibes. Sometimes they set up a Oaxacan food station in the dining area where an abuelita expertly flips homemade tortillas and serves up glasses of tepache.

So good! They do an amazing job with their parties and sandwiches. Their hours are limited so plan accordingly. If you arrive after 10am the selection will be limited as more than half the pastries will have sold out... it's that good! Seating indoors and outdoors.

The best bakery! Delicious croissant options! Flavorful and unique. Check out the days and hours of business. They're only opened two days a week. (Subject to change). Get there early to queue up!

I've never once been able to make it here earlier enough to get a look at all their pastry options , they sell out super quickly ! You should definitely get here when they open, it's worth it. But if you don't make it before their pastries sell out they always have amazing sandwiches to try on their fresh baked bread . Their steak and egg sandwich is perfection but their bread is what makes it. I hope to be back in the near future to make it on time to try the rest of their baked goods!

Sandwiches had the best bread, fluffy yet crusty and soft, perfect with the egg I would get the chorizo and egg over the turkey pastrami next time though as it was fantastically spicy and flavorful in comparison Cinnamon roll was so warm, fluffy and had the best cream cheese frosting and cinnamon filling. The pastry case was empty when we went around 1030 and waited in line so this was a great surprise that they had last minute Note to self to go early if I want to get any pastries, but if you go later you can still get sandwiches!
