Welcome

A Family Legacy, Reimagined.

Lab 1860 is the newest chapter in a six-generation family story rooted in hospitality, craft, and culture. Built on a legacy of tradition and creativity, it honors the foundations laid by those who came before while reimagining them for a new time and place. 

Opening in Chicago as a modern bakery café, Lab 1860 brings together heritage, artistry, and a global point of view. It is a space where tradition continues to evolve—where curiosity, creativity, and culture shape the next generation of a family legacy.

At its core, Lab 1860 lives in the intersection of roots and reinvention. That balance is the soul of the brand.
