Have been here multiple times now! The pastries are all amazing, would highly recommend the chocolate croissant and ham & cheese croissant. I’m only giving Good Ambler 4/5 stars because the coffee was really bad every time unfortunately. It tastes extremely watery

Who knew you could get lunch here?? The butternut squash soup was good — definitely recommend as the days get colder and you find you’ve worked through lunch and are starving. The pastries are super good, too, especially the kouign amann (perfect caramelized crunch and buttery layers inside)!

I heard that this place is very famous for their cakes but I was very full so I only had a chance to try their drink menus. All I tried were good enough for 4 star rating. Very pretty, gorgeous interior was also impressive.

Delicious coffee and pastries served here and the space is amazing! Its a really nice chill spot in the West Loop to slow down the pace. Whenever Im out in Fulton Market, this is my go to place.

Will be back to try all the wonderful looking pastries! The space is lovely and spacious. My pistachio croissant tasted great though baked a little too long for my personal preference. The drip coffee was nicely balanced.

I’d say I’m a fan of croissants but baby THESE RIGHT HERE turned me into the entire HVAC cooling system they were the best I’ve ever had. TOP TIER second to none! Absolute Winners!

Best Chocolate Croissants! Best ambiance around, and one of the few places you can find indoor seating these days.

A sweet and magical quarantine escape ✨I almost don’t want to write this review because I fear that my raving review might attract more people to our favorite neighborhood spot but the people are great, and the food/coffee is even better (which is hard to top.) I love the regular drip coffee but their seasonal Peppermint Mocha ☕️ is the best I’ve ever had and the Kouign-amann is to die for. Do yourself a favor and stop by if you haven’t.

Absolutely in love with this place. The feel and look are enough to draw just about anyone in but the pastries are delicious, the service is impeccable and the selection of drinks is basically perfect. Plus theyre really doing their best to respect social distancing

At Good Ambler, I have officially eaten the best ham & cheese croissant I have ever had in my life. So happy and cant wait to dive into the kouign amann- which Ive had mulitiple times before and already know that is the best. Close second is the kouign amann from Flour in Boston. But Good Ambler is tops. Very happy

This is definitely my favorite bakery in Chicago. The pastries are phenomenal: the croissants are super flaky and buttery, and in general most things are not cloying. The kouign amann is definitely the best Ive had in the US.The indoor dining is super spacious (it would be crazy spacious even for a sit down restaurant much less a cafe) and its not super busy, so it is one of the few places where we dine in.

Review №37

I will caveat this rating with the fact that we only had the drip coffee which tasted burnt and left a chaulky taste in my mouth. I will definitely go back to try the pastries and homemade candy. I will also try the espresso vs the drip next time in the hopes of a better experience. Finally, the ambiance is a 5/5. But if you cant get the drip coffee right, it makes me wonder how they get the rest of it right.

Everything is good here. Literally, everything. I know you think Im exaggerating, but even things that I dont normally like are DELICIOUS here. Go! Go, right now!

The thin silver lining of the pandemic has been the pasteries that have sprouted and really raised the bar for all of Chicago. Between Good Ambler and Aya, good luck to the rest of the shops, because these two are best in class.

I love this spot!With a huge space/high ceilings, I don’t feel uncomfortable sitting inside. The employees at the counter do a great job with directing you to tables so there’s buffer space between seating and it looks like folks are always cleaning.The pastries are so pretty and delicious. It’s really hard to choose just one snack. They have little and large sweets depending on how bad you want to be, they also have chocolates and caramels. On the savory side they have this ham & cheese croissant that gives me butterflies. Seriously, everything you put in your mouth is delicious.This is a great spot for solo reading or studying and also perfect for meeting up for a few friends to catch-up.

Amazing service and the pastries are just wonderful. They are full of flavor without knocking you over with sugar as so many places are apt to do. The Paris Brest may be the highlight of my culinary summer. The place looks wonderful and as soon as it can fully open I imagine you’ll always have difficulties getting a seat.

This place has a nice selection of desserts such as cakes, patries, and candy. I would like to see more doughnuts or cookies, but what I had was very good. Specifically I had the cookies n cream bar, the ginger chocolate (could have been a little stronger on the ginger), and the pimento cheese dip (which had a nice kick). Also tried the green tea latte which was good as well. Staff was very friendly too!

Stopped in on a Sunday for pasties which did not disappoint! They had butternut squash soup which is really hard for me to pass up. So glad I didn’t as it was perfection. I even got the salad to go since it sounded so good. Keep in mind I stopped in for one pastry. I will be back!!

I’m quite literally obsessed with this place! They have great coffee and even better treats. I like trying new desserts/pastries every time I go as their kitchen chefs are always experimenting with new recipes and updating their seasonal offerings. The coffee shop also hosts various pop ups on weekends supporting other local businesses and entrepreneurs which I love. Great spot to settle in and get some work done or to simply grab a snack.

Introduce this store in a little bit→Good AmblerThere is a coffee shop on the first floor, and an office upstairsIt used to be a snack factoryThe parent company is called MondelēzIts more famous snack brands include Oreo, Ritz, triangle chocolate TobleronThose who are interested can invest, but it seems to have been falling recentlyOkay, thats not the pointThe point is that the cake is deliciousRich in layers and well matched🥕Carrot CakeServed with apricot jam with a hint of cinnamon, white chocolate, almond crispy bottomI don’t like cinnamon and almonds, but this one is delicious ww🍫Chocolate crunchServed with pickled cherry jam, vanilla seed whipped cream, salted biscuits, chocolate mousse, chocolate chipsThe salty biscuits are only a little bit, which brings out the richness of chocolate.Cherry jam only has a bit of sourness in the tail and tail, which just balances the sweetnessToo much to provoke

My experience with them has been incredible, they have very good attention, they will explain in detail about the concept of the Coffee and its pastry area, in particular I have tried the ginger and coconut cake, the carrot and zucchini muffin, their varieties of chocolate and nougat, not to mention the cappuccino, I have not disappointed of that place, it is incredible, they really deserve 5 stars.. I always order take out but the place is incredible to enjoy a good coffee and some pastries.My experience with them has been incredible, they have very good attention, they will explain in detail about the concept of the Café and its pastry area, in particular I have tried the ginger and coconut sponge cake, the carrot and zucchini muffin, its varieties of chocolate and Nougat, not to mention the cappuccino, I havent been disappointed with that place, its amazing, they really deserve 5 stars.P.S.
