I said three stars cause of course I tested out cakes and referred them to several people for birthday cakes but they do not accept EBT so I guess a broad number of Chicago citizens will not be able to purchase from them.

We were drawn in by the homemade popsicles sign and unprepared to be totally charmed by this lovely spot! Hilarious cards, beautiful homemade and second-hand homegoods, and delicious pastries kept us here long after our popsicles were gone (and they were delicious!)

I’ve ordered a cake from Bake for my wife’s last three birthdays. Three years, three different cakes, all three phenomenal. Couldn’t recommend them more.
Oh, and they make fantastic other treats too!

One of the top coffee shop and bakeries in the wicker park area. Definitely go earlier as they sell out and try the sausage roll at least once

I'm so glad I found Bake! We ordered the confetti cake for my son's birthday party and the entire party raved about how delicious it was. We'll be ordering from Bake going forward! Also love all the sweet decor and gift options.

I love their chocolate chip cookie. The salt balance is off the chain, a week later I’m still thinking about it. Banana bread was also really well balanced, not too sweet. My only criticism is the case was half empty at 10:15 and it wasn’t busy. Was hoping for a little more variety but I’ll be back a little earlier next time!

We ordered a cake for my daughter’s graduation not knowing anything about the bakery. We were so impressed with the service, communication, presentation and TASTE of this delicious cake! We did the raspberry chocolate cake. It was beautiful and scrumptious! Would highly recommend BAKE!

My husband and I are visiting the area and had a croissant craving. We shopped for highly rated local bakeries and found Bake.
The service and the food was superb! The shop also has a very vintage appeal giving the feeling of spending a sunny Saturday afternoon antique shopping.
Highly recommend 😋😋 We purchased a croissant, peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, a lemon scone and a recipe book.
The entire purchase was approximately $50 of which $30 was for the book.
I love Bake so much! I live right nearby and count my blessings every day when I come here (which is probably far too often!). The prices are fair for what you get -- a rich, delicious pastry for me at least once a week. I've tried just about everything and really don't think you can go wrong. But the pistachio croissant is especially unique here — grab it if you're lucky and they haven't sold out! In fact, this place sells out pretty often, so the earlier you go, the more choices you'll have. The quiche is a good non-sweet option. I also got my birthday cake here this year — the $60 rainbow cake easily fed ~35 people and I had a little under half of it left over. It was both absurdly cute and delicious, a good reflection of the balance between aesthetic taste and taste taste that is well-straddled in just about everything these folks do! And they're nice :) (PS -- good spot to have a little sit-down at too! Sadly the patio is gone, but it's colorful inside and fun to see parents come with kids from ballet across the street. Family friendly place, not a go-too for me for work)

Top of my food pallet, this bakery. Best cup cakes, best cookies, best scones. Awesome family business.
Have been a frequent visitor of Bake for ~6 years. Bake is a phenomenal bakery that never disappoints. The most surprising aspect is how there isn’t a line out the door. Highly recommended. Blueberry muffin, almond croissant, chocolate chip cookie and many more are some of our favorites.
