Katic Breads

The best breads and croissants ever!!! My favorite is the Pain de Sophia bread it is one of the best breads that I tried.

OMG how I miss the almond croissant they make. It is one of the best I’ve ever eaten. They no longer come to my local farmers market. They will be truly missed. All their breads are very good.

The best! We have tried several items and loved them all! Fresh tasting and quality ingredients!

Love that they make bread with quality, ingredients. This is the only bread I will eat.
Whole Foods does not come close. My friend is from France, and said there croissants are AMAZING, she even bought them for her mom when she was visiting her.
Counting the day until the Farmers Markets open !!!

Wonderful people making fantastic bread. The quality is consistent and the crust is to die for!

We’ve tried several of his breads from the farmer’s market, and they are the best we’ve ever eaten. Seriously the best ever. I don’t know how he does it, but he’s brilliant.

THis bread is so good I can hardly keep my hands off it! I LOVE the Sophia loaf… wonderful„ fragrant herbs and seeds. YUMMY!!!

This was the best bread I have EVER had. I found it at the Batavia Farmers Market and will be buying more! Chewy and airy and soft ciabatta the bomb!

Just tried Katic for the first time today. I will be seeking out every farmers market in the Chicago land area, just for this bread. I picked up 2 blackberry pistachio croissants, one plain and a pain du champagne loaf. The pistachio blackberry croissant had to be the most wonderful bakery item I’ve ever had. There was a pistachio butter and black berry jam in the middle. The outside later also had ground pistachio in it. Ugh, I wish I knew how great these were before I got home! Just delicious.

It’s just too bleeping good to be believed.
Anyone trying to stay away/​cut back on carbs will be instantly defeated by Katic Breads. I’ve thought I’ve had really good bread before, but apparently I was completely mistaken, as the various Katic Breads offerings are just miles ahead of more expensive breads that many get from local upscale markets (like Foodstuffs.)
Their breads are offered at a number of local farmers markets and while they don’t offer a ton of different options, one thing is better than the next and it’s all just decadent. There is a discussion of their process on the Katic website and it really results in breads that are of remarkable quality and taste — rich and layered flavors that are just magnificent. The croissants are ridiculous — the regular ones are wonderfully good, but the chocolate ones really take it to another level as you’re already getting a magnificent croissant combined with a very high quality chocolate. Their products are really tremendously high quality, but they’re consistently so, the quality doesn’t waiver from week to week.
My only problem with this bread is that I go through it way too quickly. There are few things more wonderful than bread and butter, but this bread and butter is ultimately very satisfying. The hearty Harvest bread is probably my favorite, but you can’t really go wrong with any of their options. This stuff is worth a trip a local farmers market to try. They are at the Lake Bluff Farmers Market and it’s not unusual for you to have to wait to buy things as a number of other people are swarming around their stand at all times — once you try it, you’ll understand why.
Again, just absurdly good bread but the kicker is that I think their prices are more than reasonable.

Katic Breads is usually found at most farmers markets in the area. I believe they use to have a retail store, but found that they were more successful bringing the product to their customers rather than having their customers come to them (smart!) I have to say, I LOVE croissants. Typically if I see a croissant, especially if it’s a chocolate croissant, I have to try it! Katic’s croissants are the most flakey, lighest and freshest croissants I’ve ever had! I’ve found myself going to Wheaton Market every week just to buy my croissants and leave! They also offer a huge array of breads, including a fabulous herb focciacia! If you get a chance to stop by almost any farmers market in the chicagoland area and see Katic, definitely stop by!
