The Little Tart Bakeshop + Octane

At this combined business (and always-packed hangout) in Grant Park’s Jane building, baking whiz Sarah O’Brien displays the Little Tart’s ethereal croissants, galettes filled with local fruit, and other seductions next to Octane’s gleaming coffee bar. Sip a pour-over steeped with floral Ethiopian beans or try a cortado, the midpoint between an inky espresso and a frothy cappuccino.
