Clean atmosphere, helpful staff, and delicious treats!. They do have to-go bags, boxes, and plastic silverware as well. I recommend the Paris Brest for people who are not fond of sweets. On the contrary, the Raspberry Gâteaux was on the sweeter side. My only critique is that I wish they had more seating. They only had one table outside. read more

#1 pastry place in Naperville and surrounding neighborhoods - if you're looking for the best macarons, this is the place to go as the owners are French-trained, and you can just taste the quality in their macarons. Also got their croissants and the other pastries are well worth a try as well. Not meant to be much of a seating area, but they have a cute aesthetic with a lot of pastries on display. Parking is plenty and the staff are really kind. read more

Cute little bakery shop to grab to go items. The service was quick and the bakery itself is clean. No seating. They also sell ice cream! I had the croissant which was 2/5. It was similar to a grocery store croissant without much flakiness so I was disappointed. The tiramisu was really good! I would go back for the dessert read more

A La Folie - Logo - Macarons Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Update 12/24/24: Apparently, this place is so popular that people wait outside before it opens. I came here after work to pick up an order. I also bought some breakfast items. In total, I got spiced apple cruffin, monkey bread, almond croissant plain, chocolate gateau basque slice, bahia cake, and macarons. -spiced apple cruffin 5 - very enjoyable to eat. Once you bite inside, you'll be welcomed to caramelized apple butter and vanilla cream cheese oozing out. The outer layer has a good flaky texture. -monkey bread 5 - not too sweet. Cinnamon flavor is not overpowering. It's a clean treat, not too sticky. -almond croissant plain 5 - my personal favorite and I heard this one sells out. I like the almond filling. You may need a napkin to eat it because of the powder. -chocolate gateau basque slice 5 - crumbly texture but firm where it needs to be. No dryness. Rich chocolate taste. -Bahia cake 5 - not overly sweet. You get the sweetness from the mango and tartness from the passion fruit. The Banana helps even out the flavor. Crust has a nice crunch every time you take a bite. read more

I have tried the macarons and croissants. Both are delicious and done correctly. Macarons are not overly sweet and they do taste like a French cookie vs a sugar bomb. The croissants flake all over the place after your first bite. Should do as the French and leave it in the plate pinching pieces off! buttery goodness! read more

Walking into this place smells like a dream. Pastries are fantastic, macarons are on point. Also extremely well priced!

We got 4 pasteries to-go to share with the family. All the pasteries were delicious and the presentation was great. Bahia (10/10) : Everyone loved the flavors in this one. This was the favorite out of the four we got. Ocoa (10/10): This one is rich and chocolatey. Everyone loved this one as well. This was the second favorite out of the four. Opera: (8/10): Was delicous, reminded us of a tiramisu but some of us thought this was on the drier side. It would have been better with a little more moisture in it. Lemon (10/10): Lemony and delicious. Not a favorite but still very yummy. read more

Get your order in early or get in line and trust me - it's worth it! I had heard about this place from a friend who insisted it was true French baking. I stopped in Sunday morning when they opened. The smell of freshly baked goods was gently wafts over you as you walk through the doors. The decor is simple and understated and perfect as the goods speak for themselves. I ordered a plain croissant, a chocolate croissant and an almond croissant. I also ordered 6 different macaroon flavors, blueberry, raspberry, salted caramel, almond, mango lime and pistachio. I have been searching for the perfect macaroon. I finally found it. The meringue cookie was light, delicate and chewy and each filling tasted nothing but fresh. Favorites were the salted caramel and blueberry. The croissants were amazing and I don't know how I will eat a store bought one knowing these are available. Perfectly layered, crusty where needed, and soft inside. They also have an array of other desserts and ice cream. They looked beautiful and I look forward to returning to try them all. read more

I honestly try to sample all of their new pastries, unless it is something I know I won't like! This is simple, but exactly what you would finger in France and absolutely delicious! A keeper! read more

While I haven't seen specific reviews about A La Folie, their pastries looked just like the stunning, Instagram-worthy treats I've seen all over social media, so I had to check it out. The interior is clean and modern, though very small with no seating. It's definitely a grab-and-go patisserie, which works fine if you're looking to treat yourself or pick something up for a special occasion.The service was smooth and friendly. The girl behind the counter greeted me warmly and took my order without any issues. I didn't have any questions, but it was clear they had a handle on things. Since I was visiting solo, I treated myself to just one pastry--the Bahia, one of their signature classics. It was absolutely incredible. With its almond crunch base, vanilla mousse, passionfruit-white chocolate glaze, and fresh mango garnish, it was a perfect blend of decadent and refreshing. The combination of smooth and crunchy textures made each bite a delightful flavor adventure.I can't wait to go back and try more of their beautiful creations. If you're looking for gorgeous, high-quality pastries, this place is a must. read more

A La Folie - Bahia - Macarons Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

The best croissant and macrons I've ever had! Beats some well known places from Chicago. Simply put it's amazing, go try it.

This place is a GEM. It's hard to come by a great bakery, much less in the suburbs of all places. Having lived in and sought out bakeries in NY, SF, Chicago, I can confidently say A La Folie can hang with the best that I've come across. They sell out often, so go early. Try anything there and you won't be disappointed. The Pain Au Chocolat and Monkey Bread are favorites in my household. The bakery itself is clean and pleasant, and the employees there have always been super friendly when I've visited. read more

Truly the most authentic and delicious macarons one can get, short of flying across the world! Husband and wife duo Alexis and Jerome have brought France to Naperville and the proof is in the taste. Their macarons have the perfect balance of crunchy exterior and soft but not too soft, sweet but not too sweet interior. A feat which is extremely hard to achieve and yet they do, with intention and grace. Every detail, from the store aesthetic to the logo, is well thought out and seamless. Macarons have been an important part of our relationship and we knew they needed to be part of our wedding day. We chose to do a ''macaron exchange" rather than a cake cutting. Alexis helped us create a flavor profile that fit our personalities and also went well together in a custom tower. Our guests raved about the beautiful macaron tower and loved the fall flavors! With our order, they included a separate box of macarons for my husband and I, with a handwritten note congratulating us. Those kind gestures mean so much to us and truly set businesses apart! read more

May just be the best croissant I have ever tasted! It is a little pricey but once you taste the quality of the ingredients you will understand why. Oh my goodness is it amazing and totally worth it! The woman behind the counter was also very sweet. Only thing that would make it a little better is if they had seating so you could sit and enjoy. read more

Still my favorite macarons, especially the Madagascar vanilla! If you get 8 or more they are packaged in a beautiful blue box. These would be great as a cute gift since it is so beautifully packaged and tasty! They have also expanded their hours since I've last been here which I was happy about! Now I can come more often when I'm in the area! In addition to expanding their hours they have more flavors, ice cream, and other sweets! read more

No! No. They are not open today until 5 o'clock as this posting states. So I just drove 20 minutes out of my way to go here to find out that they're not even open on Mondays at all. So maybe the time postings should be corrected on this. And my beef here is not with à la folie. I drove this far out because these are the most amazing Macarons that I've ever had. My problem is is that I drove 20 minutes out my way due to a posting on yelp that was incorrect. I'd like to review yelp thank you. read more

A friend bought macarons from this place and brought them to dinner; what a delightful dessert! And such well-crafted macarons, too: the batter wasn't tough so it hadn't been overworked, but achieved a soft (yet not mushy or collapsing) texture. All told the flavors we had were lemon, mango, peanut butter and jelly, coffee, hazelnut, chocolate, salted caramel, & raspberry. I tasted the mango (subtle but tasty), coffee (nice and I amnot even a coffee fan) and pb&j (really did taste like this, but realized successfully as a macaron). They also have beautiful packaging (boxes and bags) so these would make a great gift. Check their website because Tuesday is 25% off day! Can't wait to try more flavors -- it would be folly not to go back to À La Folie! read more

This was brought into my workplace for Customer Service week. There was an array of pastries - chocolate croissants, macaroons, ham & cheese croissants & more. Everything that I tried was delicious! I heard multiple people ask where these were from. I plan on visiting the store sometime on my own. The only suggestion I have is to label the boxes of what's inside. read more

Spectacular products. Not to be missed! Macarons and other delicious French pastries. Pleasant and knowledgeable waitstaff

I was looking for a Galette des Rois and came across À La Folie. The galette tasted buttery and flaky, it was delicious. Having lived in Paris, their galette tasted very similar to those from French pâtisseries/boulangeries. My daughter especially liked the nice gold crown and the little chicken fève (wished they could have inserted the fève inside and offered a large size galette). Overall, very authentic French pastries, we enjoyed it! read more

Great products perfect executions! Way too perfect for my pallet but again I like to be spoiled.

Superb almond croissants that rival what I've had in Paris! Fresh and delicious days later. Friendly customer service, as well.

Daughter and I came here to check out the macarons and were NOT disappointed. A little pricey but its Naperville. Its a very small location, no real places to enjoy your treats inside, which is too bad because we probably would've tried even more flavors! When we're nearby we'll visit again. read more

Finally there is an authentic patisserie featuring French pastries and desserts in Naperville -- and it is incredible! A La Folie, located in South Naperville near the intersection of Rt. 59 and 95th St., is a French pastry shop that features a nice variety of viennoisseries (e.g. croissants) and pastries (e.g. cakes, choux puffs, tarts, etc). We were anxious to try their almond croissant after seeing their online post about it (they regularly feature a different pastry each week) and finally made the visit to the store. The shop has a great atmosphere and features a modern, clean interior design with a light pastel blue theme - and immediately when you walk into the store, you're greeted with the wonderful scent of rich, buttery pastries and breads. Along with the almond croissants (which were generously portioned and had a lot of fresh almond cream inside -- excellent!), we also tried some of their pastries as well, including the opera cake and the peanut caramel bar. Both were not too sweet (which is very good!!) and had such satisfying and complementary flavor notes, including the chocolate/coffee of the opera cake and the nutty caramel of the peanut bar. Will definitely return back soon to try more of their selections! read more

I only discovered A La Folie in mid-March. A friend brought them to a game night and they were amazing. I've had Laduree macarons in Paris and these were the same level- if not better. We took advantage of their curb side pick up on Saturday mornings and recently drove all the way to Naperville for these macarons (we live in downtown Chicago). Still amazing as ever! Worth the 80 mile round trip and gave the family something to do on a Saturday morning. My favorite is the raspberry while the hubby loves their peanut butter and jelly. My youngest loves the chocolate while the oldest loves the vanilla. read more

Some of the best macarons that I have ever had so got some additional gift boxes to take home back to Utah. Loved this cute bakery with so many delish treats and cute decor. The service was outstanding as well. The name means "Like Crazy" in French, and you would be crazy not to stop by when you are in the Naperville area read more

I am obsessed with A La Folie and cannot believe we're lucky enough to have such an incredible bakery in Naperville. Now Naperville has lots of good bakeries, but my favorite part about them is they all have a niche that empowers all of them to succeed. If I want donuts and cheese bread, I'm going to DeEtta's. If I want decorated cookies and cupcakes, I'm going to Fiene's. But if I want fancy, impressive, sophistication - oh man, am I going to A La Folie. We've taken advantage of many of their weekly/holiday specials (Mother's Day, Father's Day, any week they make ANYTHING with raspberry) and everything we've ever gotten has been exceptional. These are the types of desserts you serve guests, bring to a fancy party, or grab any time you want to be impressive. Their looks are matched by their gorgeous textures and complex flavors. The staff are absolutely wonderful and ordering could not be easier. Get on their mailing list, order straight from their website, and go pick up at your assigned time. Not great at scheduling? No worries, they'll text you if you're running late. And when you get there, you may be lucky enough to find they have extras for purchase, or grab some macarons for your order too. I haven't been to their new location yet, but I assume it is as classy and understated as their old location was. It's such a treat to have A La Folie in our community and I look forward to returning again and again! read more

No need to go downtown Chicago for the best Macarons! Their macarons have the best texture and flavors, I personally love the chocolate. Chef Jerome's macarons remind me of Pierre Hermé's. Glad to have the Parisian food experience locally. They offer curbside pick-up, which is very thoughtful in the time of covid. They have croissants too, which are to die for. Oh and the Saturday pastries! Every week, Chef makes a unique one. I have gone maybe 3 out of 4 weeks per month. These depressing times need a pick me upper, and my Saturday morning trips to A La Folie makes the days brighter. PS sign up for weekly emails- Saturday Pastry Updates! Love this place Like Crazy! read more

Such a hidden treasure! A web search for "macarons near me" led me to A La Folie and I'm so happy that it did. Thankfully, I had the day off so I stopped by in the afternoon. It is such a great place. I met Alexis, learned more about their selections/background of the shop, and even sampled a passionfruit macaron. Yum! I went with a build your own 16 pack because it was going to be hard to choose between the two assortments. I think I have found my new not-so-guilty pleasure. It's impossible to feel guilty when you're eating something so thoughtfully well made and absolutely delicious. read more

A La Folie - Decided to build my own assortment. (Left to right - pistachio, mango lime, cassis, salted caramel, vanilla, candy cane, and passionfruit) - Macarons Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

I have had macaroons from all over the Midwest. I've also tried them in California and New York. Personally I have never been to Paris France so I cannot attest to how good they are there. Let me tell you without a singular doubt in my mind that the level of culinary artistry, creativity and taste is unparalleled for macaroons here. Other places may have a lot more flavors but they cannot even come close to the taste that Chef Jerome puts in them. As an elite yelper I like to give credit where credit is due and these macaroons are the absolutely best phenomenal Macarons that I have ever witnessed. I did ask what they do with their seconds thinking I can get them at a reduced price, but no avail the chef will not put his name on anything other than the most perfect Macarons you cannot get anything else other than the best. Keep in mind folks at either just cookies and yes I fully admonish the fact that yes they were a bakery item, but let me tell you the Macarons here are nothing short of works of art, edible perfection, I had a 20 minute drive this could turn out to be a serious problem for my family. Words cannot express how beautiful the packaging. I cannot recommend these any higher. Bon appétit. read more

The desserts taste as if you were in France. Each item is also so beautifully done but the flavors are what make it so amazing!!

Amazing true French pastry at it's best! Silky smooth rich chocolate desserts and amazing crispy, buttery croissants!

Are you dreaming about the perfect macarons as you remembered them tasted in France in the patisserie, so unbelievably pretty and heavenly delicious that you would take a flight to Paris just to repeat this experience? You do not need to travel far! I found the same perfection in A La Folie in Naperville! After having tried every single flavor available, I can confirm the macarons are simply perfect! A well balanced bouquet of flavors, an impeccable execution and the highest quality ingredients create a unique palette sensation. The abondant creativity of the French pastry chef Jérôme Landrieu is translated in his Saturday specials, many of which I tried and could not help but wanting to come back for new masterpieces. I ordered already my 2 Bûches de Noël and cannot wait for the Christmas Day dinner to savor them. Thank you very much A La Folie for bringing the excitement of the happy anticipation to our lives. I will be back for your new creations! read more
