Bakeries near Blue Island

“First time here and so glad I gave this place a try. One of the most delicious bagels I have ever had. Prompt service even though they were very busy. Very cute decor inside. I will definitely pay another visit and try one of their coffees. I’m not really into desserts so I can’t rate their desserts but you can if you pay them a visit .“

“So happy that I found this bakery for my granddaughter’s 3rd birthday cake. I am out of state. It was helpful for me to be able to pay using a payment app and have my daughter pick the cake up. The owner was so kind and helpful. I told her what I wanted and she delivered on quality looks and taste. She went above and beyond in letting my daughter know certain details about the cake. We highly recommend using Blue Cottage Bakery. For reference, I ordered an 8 inch, 3 layer Dora cake.“

“Yesterday I took the Sourdough Breadmaking Class with Chef George at The Ancestral Oven and I just pulled an amazing loaf of bread out of my home oven 24 hours later! Chef George provided all the necessary instruction and supplies - including a lively starter - for students to start their own sourdough journey at home. The class included hands-on experience feeding the starter, as well as folding and shaping the dough. I had a great time at the class and can't wait to return to try out the breakfast and lunch menu at The Ancestral Oven Bakery and Cafe.“

The cookies themselves were incredible—fresh, soft, and full of flavor. You can really tell they put a lot of effort into both the taste and presentation. I especially liked how each cookie is unique, and there’s always something new to try each week.“

I of curse had to have my lemon fluff cupcake, a pastry and who could say no to an apple slice. But the true treats are the lovely and kind ladies working the counter.

I highly recommend Windy City Baker for all of your cake needs!“

I expected to be disappointed and was very surprised of the taste of this wonderful Gem. 9 out of 10 stars. The reason why I didn't rate it a perfect 10 was because it was freezing here.“
