Biting into a crisp, buttery croissant is an experience that has the potential to incite a sigh of gustatory satisfaction. But it takes skill and perseverance to create a well executed pastry that keeps customers coming back time and time again.
Among the places in Milwaukee which have done so is Le Reve Patisserie & Cafe, which has been gleaned accolades for its French bistro fare and well executed pastries for 15 years.
This week, we’re sitting down with Chef Andrew Schneider, who founded the restaurant alongside Therese Hittman in 2008, to chat about the past, the present and the future of the beloved French eatery. Along the way, we glean insights into Schneider’s journey from aspiring firefighter to chef, the inspiration behind the cafe and the launch of Le Reve’s new events space and cooking school, Troquet.
