I live a few blocks away from this bakery and although the pastries are very tasty, the service leaves little to be desired and the interior decor is less than appealing versus the potential to be cozy and inviting. The few times I have been in there, the ladies behind the counter have not been very friendly and even seemed annoyed if I took too long to choose something, which for me is very crucial as to whether I return to a place. I'd rather drive a few miles to La Petite Provence on Alberta for friendly service, wonderful atmosphere and of course delicious and reasonably priced pastries. I am still hoping that Fleur de Lis improves its atmosphere, covers up all the supplies in the back of the place and enlarge their pastry display area and smile more because I would rather support neighborhood businesses.

Pastry quite good. The fennel scones are delicious--I just wish there were more than two bites to them! The apple concoctions are super, too, as are the Cinnamon rolls. now the bad part. The service is poor. The younger staff range from delightful to fairly good, but the older staff are very unfriendly. You'd think they were working in McDonald's. This is particularly true around 2PM, which is one hour before closing--they seem unhappy that the customer is preventing them from cleaning up and getting out at 3PM on the dot. Also, the bakery is patronized by a lot of younger families with small children. That's nice in some ways but the acoustics are poor (concrete floor, all-glass walls) and so the children are quite noisy, and it can be hard to read or have a conversation. All in all, a very positive contribution to the Hollywood/Grant Park area, but if it were quieter and had friendlier service, I'd give it another star. Owners, you might consider using heavy-cloth window coverings and even getting an outdoor, washable carpet for the dining area. Also, the busing area is unappealing, and the area behind the empty magazine display area is ugly and could be concealed with an attractive cloth screen. The display area itself is also a mess some of the time, and perhaps it should be converted to a flat-topped counter with barstools, or with nice vases and plants.

I came here for the second time today, and loved it. It was pretty busy this morning, but the staff seemed to be handling the clientele efficiently. I received my sandwich before I left the counter, and my tea was ready in five minutes. Don't expect full restaurant service here, as they have counter service only, but there were two ladies working up front who were VERY friendly. The only thing that I found a little strange was one of them seemed a little annoyed that their tea cost so much. But they do serve Foxfire, which is a VERY high quality tea, that I serve at home when I can find it in retail shops. The food was very good. I had a breakfast sandwich that featured a french omelette with goat cheese, roasted peppers, and onions. Later, I had a ginger sugar cookie. Not only was this cookie absolutely beautiful, but it went perfectly with my tea, and was probably the best ginger cookie I'd had in a LONG time. Expect wonderful, high-quality pastries when you come here. This is what keeps people coming back. There were some amazing-looking turnovers in the case that I didn't try this time, but plan to very soon! Worth the counter-only service. -H
