Verzênay is an award-winning French pâtisserie and bakery in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, founded by Chef Arshiya Farheen in 2014 as a stall in Green City Farmers market.

Rooted in classical French techniques, we make pastries, breads, cakes, savory items, and café offerings from scratch, using seasonal ingredients and local Midwest produce whenever possible. Our menu reflects French tradition and thoughtful creativity, with select creations inspired by Chef Arshiya’s Indian heritage.
