In Short
Husband-and-wife pastry chefs Dmitri and Keli Fayard (he's French, she's a Chicago native) team up at this warm, copper-colored pastry shop and cafe, which draws a regular crowd of sweet tooths and homesick French folks. They're here for fresh-baked croissants and handmade confections like nougats, chocolate bars and mini-tarts. The shop does big business in custom-made cakes--from traditional to more off-the-wall creations, all made with fresh cream filling and no preservatives.
