The corner of Milwaukee Avenue and Logan Boulevard feels like its been vacant for years, but it’ll finally be filled next month. La Boulangerie, a French bakery, is taking the space of the barren storefront, which sits just around the corner from New Wave Coffee. It’s the brainchild of Vincent Colombet, who already owns Cook-Au-Vin. His bread is stocked at the Bristol and the Dill Pickle Food Co-Op, but this will be his first retail store. Talking with Chicago Magazine, Colombet also detailed a strange new delivery program called “Bread-Flix,” which is kind of a bread service meets Netflix: “You go online and you say, I want bread Wednesday, Saturday, and Monday. [And then] we deliver your bread at the time you request.” The store plans to open in mid-June. [Chicago Magazine, second item]
