After months of teasing Ravenswood/Lincoln Square residents with the promise of delicious breads and pastries, La Boulangerie, the bakery next to the new neighborhood French school (Lycée Français de Chicago) is open for business at 1945 W. Wilson Ave.

The bakery announced its opening on Facebook on Monday afternoon, with an enthusiastic "We are officially open!" Their website hasn't been updated yet, but in response to a question on social media the bakery indicated that their hours were 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. However, if you're concerned, call ahead first.

The large space appears to have plenty of seating and an extensive pastry selection, including tons and tons of macarons. We'll have more once we get a chance to check it out.
