When Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto returns to Chicago to take over his late brother's sandwich shop, he's met with a kitchen in shambles, staff on edge, and memories too painful to unpack. He's barely holding it together - until he wanders into a little French bakery down the block.
Colette "Coco" Marchand is the talk of Lincoln Park: a Paris-born, Cordon Bleu-trained pastry chef whose vintage charm and buttery croissants have quickly made her café, Petite Flamme, a neighborhood favorite. She knows discipline, control, and how to make sugar obey - but grief? That's a recipe she's still perfecting.
Their kitchens are worlds apart - hers quiet and elegant, his loud and chaotic - but when Carmy comes looking for fresh brioche buns and ends up staying for coffee, something begins to simmer. Amid flour-dusted mornings and late-night phone calls, two chefs scarred by their pasts find something unexpected: peace, passion, and maybe even love.
