I've seen this place multiple times when I driven by Fullerton and I always say I will come by. Finally came and let me tell you, the options in the pastries is overwhelming. There is so much variety that you can't go wrong in picking one. I ordered a box of 6 pastries. The first one I ate was the guava and cream, oh my gosh the crispiness of the bread was amazing and the flavor even better. I also order the horchata ice coffee, which was good. The line was long but it moved quickly. The place and music felt very welcoming. I so recommend this place. read more

Customer service wasn't great. We felt rushed to decide on our orders. I would've ordered more had they simply not rushed us. $90 for 4 sandwiches and 4 pastries. The breakfast sandwiches were a bit cold because they didn't warm the bread. read more

i got up at 7:30am for this place and when i tell you this was so worth it. We waited for no more than 30 minutes from open until we got our food and pastries. The earlier you get there, the more options you have. we not only got a torta de huevos con chilaquiles en salsa roja y verde con carne asada, and 6 pastries. all of which were delicious. The workers were so sweet, it made the place feel like i was back in mexico in my mother's hometown. The ambience is warm and very welcoming. If you're a person that can't decide, make sure you bring extra money because you will be walking out with more than one box. Only downside is how many seats they have to eat there, but mostly everyone that went in, got their food and pastries and left. read more

Lively panderia with amazing selection of goods including coffee. Standard coffee but the star of the show are the baked goods! Pistachio croissant was an amazing treat.

I've been here twice already and both times everything tastes amazing! So many different options to choose from. Come early because there is ALWAYS I mean ALWAYS a line & I can see why, everything tastes amazing incredible. Parking can be a bit difficult to find just because it's on a Main Street but eventually you'd be able to snag one just read the street signs. Don't let the line scare you because these women are fast & efficient on getting the line moving. It's the guests that makes it take some time because we have so many delicious options to choose from! read more

So many unique Mexican fusion pastries. Huge cinnamon rolls that are INCREDIBLE. Every thing we tried was amazing. Crispy, buttery, delicious homemade pastries. Not too sweet. Perfection. You will wait in a line because of their limited opening times, but it's worth it. Staff are helpful. My boyfriend enjoyed their chilaquiles also. Cute and festive interior decor. read more

This spot is only open on Saturdays and Sundays, and there's always a long line. As soon as I heard they had a Chile Relleno croissant, I knew I had to try it. We arrived around 8:30 AM and there was already a line out the door. It took about an hour before we got to the front of the line to order. The seating inside is limited but I love how they blend traditional Mexican pan dulce with French style pastries. We ordered the Chile Relleno croissant of course, Arroz Con Leche cinnamon roll, Ube Flan croissant, and Gansito croissant. Everything was really good but overall, it's not something I'd wait in line for every weekend. Still, I'm really glad I tried it and recommend checking it out but be sure to go early because they do sell out! read more

Came here on a Saturday morning. Read somewhere that said they opened at 8, but in fact opened at 9. I wasn't upset though. My son and I were 5th in line. The pastries at this place were phenomenal! We ordered 6. The only thing my son didn't like though was the cinnamon roll coz it was too sweet for his liking. Everything else was the right amount of sweet and delicious! My 2 complaints was the music was waaaaaaay too loud and I couldn't hear the lady taking my order was saying. I also wasn't a fan of the food we ordered. We ordered red chilaquiles with steak and egg. It was bland. It would have been nice if they at least salted the food. Other than that, we will definitely be back for the pastries. The berry croissant and roll were amazing as well as their chocolate croissants and rolls. read more

Food 10/10. I would recommend getting there early because there is definitely a long line.

Went on a Saturday 15 minutes before opening and there were up to 30 people in line, but once the store opened, the line moved pretty fast. Loved all the decorations inside, and service was friendly. My favorite order was the arroz con leche roll, which tasted like a cinnamon roll but with light cinnamon and more of a milky flavor and texture. I also got a regular cinnamon roll, which was absolutely divine when it was fresh and warm. I bought a second cinnamon roll hoping to enjoy the next day, but it dried out. Next time I'm really curious to try to carrot cake roll and their chilaquiles! read more

Pan Artesanal - Cajeta Croissant Strawberry Shortcake Croissant Coconut tres leches croissant Rosca croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Pan Artesanal - Steak Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

SPARE YOURSELVES THE TRIP. We went after hearing raving reviews and all the Instagram hype. However, we were greatly disappointed and would like to spare you the trip. First of all, we waited two and a half hours (arrived at 8:10, and weren't served until 10:40). Then, we saw insane prices, which had been clearly marked up recently (you could see the previous prices had been covered, and the new prices were written on top). 2 pastries are $14, bagels are $10, and breakfast sandwiches are $9!!! To make it even more ridiculous, they have a "$1 surcharge due to egg shortage" which is not even relevant right now, and also insane to add to an already expensive and rather small sandwich (9+1=$10). They are clearly taking advantage of the hype, and I would not recommend the wait at all. For instance, una torta de frijol (a bread with beans), which is arguably one of the most affordable foods in Mexico, is sold for $6. The pastries are good, but definitely not for the price nor the wait. They are already charging out of their asses for every single item, yet they still have the audacity to have the automated tip suggestions going up to 30%--an insane option for a pickup service not even a sit-down service. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Dam I went here for the first time on Valentine's Day and I came back 02/27/21 for more of their delicious pastries. Pan Artesanal is only open on Saturday & Sunday from 8am to whenever they run out (usually by 12ish). To say I'm obsessed is an understatement. I mean why is this place only open on Saturday & Sunday when they sell out every weekend. I got here around 9am and there was a line out the door and over 3 storefronts on Fullerton. By the time I got in at 9:30 more then half of their delicious flaky croissants were gone All I can say is get there early. Bring cash unless you don't mind paying a 3% upcharge for using a debit or credit card. read more

The pastries were ok, and it was hard to order with loud music playing. The bottom of my pastry was burnt. Service was slow and there were no gloves worn when serving the chips for chilaquiles. Overall it was ok experience and taste but will try again in case maybe it was just that day. read more

Best "hidden" gem for sweet pastry in the city, although it's not hidden to locals who line up at 7:30a or before for the 8a doors to open. If you are not near the front of the line don't be surprised if they are already selling out of items. We snatched the Apple cheese danish, the strawberry flaky square croissant and two of their to die for cinnamon rolls. Easily all the best we've had in Chicago and at very reasonable prices to boot! What's more is that the staff are sweet and efficient and the customers aren't pretentious. Come for the great food and stay for the good vibes. read more

I've been wanting to come here for a while now, but my only question is why are they only open on the weekends? I mean damn. These guys sellout everyday buy noon. So if you want one of their baked goods, you have to arrive early. We came a little late, and was only able to get their danish with peach. And it was unbelievably delicious. It was perfectly baked, very fluffy and buttery on the inside and had a nice crisp on the outside. I wouldn't mind getting this again, but there's some other items they offer that I wanted to try. Lesson learned. Arrive early next time. I also ordered their tres leches iced coffee. I thought it was going to be too sweet, but wanted to try it anyways. Good thing I was wrong. It was sweet but perfectly balanced with the coffee. A very addicting drink that's perfect on a hot summer morning. My wife also ordered their Mexican coffee. It was also tasty and strong. They also have a nice patio, if you care to enjoy your coffee and pan at their location. This will definitely be my go to spot going forward. Will be returning very very soon. read more

Awesome pastries. Worth the wait especially when the line is 30 min long and prices are a tad high. But highly recommend, especially for buying pastries for a special event or gift. Reason for knocking off one star? They are not so friendly. No friendly greeting or have a great day. Literally zero friendly conversation or anything. read more

I want to start with a disclaimer: this place is tough to get what you want unless you get there before 7:45am. With that being said, it is WORTH getting there before 7:45am. My wife and I heard about this place from a friend, and made the journey here. We arrived at 7:40, and were ~6th in line. Once we got inside, we were greeting by the most incredible smell of baked goods and coffee. Everything looked delicious (as you can see in my picture), but we decided on a box of four pastries and a cinnamon roll. I cannot BEGIN to describe how incredible the food was. The Tiramisu Churro (which is not shaped like a churro) was hands down one of the best pastries I've had in years. The 3 leches coffee was amazing, if not a little sweet. But if you are used to Starbucks, try this instead. It will blow your mind. In summary, don't let the limited hours turn you off of this place; make the effort and give it a try. I promise you, you will NOT regret this! read more

Did I wait 30 minutes on a Saturday around 930? Yes and I should have known better. My goal was to get a chile relleno pastry but there were none left. The line moved slowly but it gave me time to look at the other pastries along the counter. I got a blueberry croissant and a carrot cake. Blueberry was better. The breakfast sandwhiches were good. I wouldn't get the horchata latte again since there was barely any coffee taste in it. It was however a good milky horchata, very decadent. I'd try again earlier to see if I can catch the elusive chile relleno croissant. Until next time, Pan Artesanal read more

Nice neighborhood bakery. The guy behind the counter was pleasant with helping me find what I was in the mood for. I wanted to pick up some sweets for work and he recommended several types of pastries. The pastries were a hit with my team and I'm definitely going to stop back in there and try more of what they have. They also have lunch sandwiches so I will have to make a lunch run one of these days read more

I have been meaning to write this review for a long time! I found this shop early 2019 when craving a pastry and sandwich after enduring a few long hours at the social security office. Pan Artesanal offers delicious pastries, fresh, strong coffee, and amazing sandwiches. The chicken chipotle sandwich and chori-huevo breakfast sandwiches are always my go-to. And you can't go wrong with any of the pastries. But, as other reviewers have mentioned, the customer service here can be really hit or miss. I would give 3 stars for service to be honest. They are only open on the weekends until early afternoon, making the wait times very long. My experience in the shop really depends on who takes care of me. One time I was skipped over, and not addressed until I spoke up, and another time my order completely forgotten. There have also been a few times I was given the wrong order. What makes these situations worse is that I was made to seem like a bother for speaking up. I understand that the shop is busy, but it is busy because of how amazing your food is. If you want less demand on the weekends, then it is time to open up during the week. read more

Great bread! Love the different bread options. The service is quick. Must get there early to get your favorite sweet bread.

Pan Artesanal has an amazing selection of food, and drinks. The pastries are one of a kind, and do not disappoint. My husband waited in line on a Friday morning, and by 8 am many of their popular items were sold out! I tried the chilaquiles croissant, and let me tell you, it was SO good. The chilaquiles on top of the soft , flaky croissant was a perfect combo of tang and sweet. I washed it down with their iced horchata latte. I topped off my croissant with a cinnamon roll, that I shared with my son + husband. It was huge, sticky, and delicious! I would definitely ask my husband to wait in line again for their delicious treats! provecho read more

Pan Artesanal, please make a line for pick up, or just put up a sign so people wont have to wait in line! Not to mention you do not pick up your phone when someone calls but a sign or something would make things smoother for your customers. read more

COVID-19 Isolation Review ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Very delicious, artisanal bread and pastries and robust, delicious Mexican coffee. The space is charming, and the patio has enough tables for a socially--distanced brunch. I recommend Pan Artesanal for fresh, baked daily bread or pastries and a fantastic cup o' Joe (the iced coffee is fantastic!). Located on Fullerton (West Logan Square) it is a nice walk from most parts of Logan Square (down Fullerton). We tried- ChoriHuevo torta (Organic egg, homemade chorizo, queso fresco on homemade French Baguette). So good! I was worried when I first saw the bread as it looked very thick and doughy. HOWEVER... it is not at all doughy at all. It's actually perfect to sop up all of the chorizo fat. I really savored the torta, especially the fresh queso fresco. Cafe con Leche- traditional cafe con leche. My husband loves coffee and mentioned this was a great coffee. Tres Leches iced coffee- personally I love iced coffee and this is a good option. I would say that it is a bit sweet (as tres leches pastel is) so if this isn't for you then I'd pass on it. Pan Ranchero- semi-sweet baguette-style bread. Delicious for sandwiches. I would say a couple of cons that I noticed. 1) The line, and wait, are so long. We arrived at 8:07 a.m. and still waited almost an hour to order/receive our order. We got our tortas at 9:01. 2) There is a 3% credit card fee. While I understand the logistical reason why there is a fee, as a customer I really hate it. The price point is a bit higher than other coffee shops in the neighborhood and so a 3% fee (especially during a pandemic that has people wanting to do contactless as much as possible). 3) I hate when coffee shops have rules on the amount of ice you can get. I get it that less ice might mean a bit more coffee, but come one. We're talking about an additional ounce, at most. So yea, they don't do 'light' ice. I would recommend Pan Artesanal for their lovely pastries and their quality bread. read more

I truly thank them for implementing social distancing policy measures in the battle against the corona virus. COVID-19 I've been buying from Pan Artesanal since they re-opened during this difficult times and they always safely organize people inside and outside the bakery, using traffic cones, in order to keep the line with the proper distance between people, allowing only 3 to 4 people inside with the policy of always wearing a mask otherwise you are not allowed to enter. Also they wear masks all the time and always wear gloves when preparing and handing READY TO EAT FOOD read more

I rarely give 5 stars but people, this is how bakery should look and taste like. It is very chic small shop with seating area. You can grab your fave croissant and have some coffee or just grab some sandwichz Pastries are amazing, we (like always) tried 80% and they are amazing ! Crunchy from the outside, great fillings inside.. from savory ham and cheese to fruit and cream.. very interesting presentation of corn bread whic is also amazing btw.. great combination of franch - mexican culture. Inside is mix of industrial and heavy wood ambient with mexica I would give 10 stars if I could. This will be our top bakery wherever we are.. (Somehow I lost all my photos so I will update! ) :) Definitely recommend it to all! read more

My search for good croissants in the Chicagoland area led me to Pan Artesanal. Yes, I'm a croissant snob but I'm happy to say that Pan Artesanal does a mighty fine job. The pastry case hold all different kinds of croissants, cronuts, baguettes, breads and desserts like flan and cheesecake. The croissants are on the softer doughy side, but they do have buttery layers of dough that is necessary for a good croissant. They also have this pretty shiny shell of an outer crust that makes them a little different from the traditional French pastry. On suggestion of the man behind the counter, I took home a cajeta croissant. Cajeta being this rich caramel. The cajeta croissant was delicious. A nice filling of cajeta and topped with pecans...it truly was a wonderful mix of French and Mexican pastry. It's quite filling, so I could only finish half for breakfast. But easily ate the other half for lunch. I also bought a multigrain baguette--it had this really good crunch from the crust that comes down to a very soft chew. What I loved is that at when I bought it, it was still warm. The iced horchata coffee was a perfect pairing to the croissants. The tres leches iced coffee sounded pretty tasty too--I'll have to check that out next time. Pan Artesenal does a great job mixing French and Mexican baked goods. Totally worth future visits. read more
