Someone said the first reminded them of a potato bug and I had to make this

FWIW, I think that all of their pastries are made at a central location so all of the locations are the same.
I have noticed the quality has completely dropped off a cliff at all of the locations in the past six months.
It’s almost as if they are having their croissants shipped in frozen and then baking them in house. They are not good anymore.

I just picked a couple up this morning, and asked my wife the same thing.
…that being said, I think I might prefer this ham and cheese croissant to the former? 🤷♂️
It’s never a place I’ve gone to for super high quality- it’s just close and good enough, and makes iced tea.

Go to tour le jours for some of the best ham and cheese croissants in the city it’s in wicker park

The croissants and the baguettes have all gotten a lot smaller.

What the hell is spilling out of it? That looks like cafeteria quality.

They look like the frozen ones I bought at Costco

Where do folks like better in the neighborhood? We’ve been going to Lost Larson or Loba when the croissant craving hits but I’d much rather walk somewhere nearby…

Guys, Too Good To Go.
Lost Larson, TLJ, and La Boulangerie on there.

My thoughts exactly. I’ve chatted with the staff there when I’ve stopped in. They changed almost all of the croissants, but people were so mad about changes to the almond croissant that they went back to the original. I asked if they would ever go back to the original on the Ham & Cheese and they told me they actually changed it back a bit. When they first redid it, they added cream cheese. They’ve gone back to the basics of Raclette and ham, but are still keeping this trash shape.

So often the quality of a restaurant’s food is totally dependent on certain employees. If something happens to that person (like being deported or fearful of being deported) the food suffers. I have no inside information but that is the way it is in the industry

Yeah and why are they so expensive? And why don’t they make Madelines or financiers any more 🙁 I still enjoy the ambience and the staff are so nice.

Dude yes I’ve been a customer for years and I don’t know what the fuck is going on there lately; I had a croissant at MINDYS that was better
