In 2019, Mondelez International made plans to move their headquarters to downtown Chicago. With a vision for a warm welcome in the lobby of their building, they hired 16” on Center to name, brand and operate a café and bakery with the hospitality we’d become known for.

This concept needed to be a decadent retreat for their staff that showcased the highest standard of patisserie, while also seeming casual enough to welcome the locals from the neighborhood. And thus, Good Ambler would pair sophisticated furnishings and interiors with eclectic vintage cookbooks, colored glass cake stands and playful drawings of baked treats.
