Après Pastry & Bakery

Après Pastry & Bakery in Lake Zurich, designed by Siren Betty Design, combines Scandinavian simplicity with feminine charm. Soft pastels, golden accents, and natural wood create a warm, inviting café that feels fresh and timeless, a place where guests can unwind, connect, and savor life’s small pleasures.

Bathed in natural light, Après Pastry & Bakery captures the comfort and optimism of a perfect morning. The palette of blush pinks and sage greens feels fresh yet nostalgic, while blonde wood and gilded mirrors add softness and shine. Scandi-inspired furniture lends ease to the refined aesthetic, and playful floral wallpaper from Solid & Pattern introduces a note of whimsy. Every element works together to make the café feel approachable and uplifting, as though it’s always been part of the neighborhood. Guests linger over pastries, drawn in by the balance of warmth and sophistication. The space embodies Siren Betty Design’s ability to craft interiors that elevate everyday rituals into moments of beauty and connection.
