This was our first try to have Lutz Pastry. I’m in town visiting my niece and her husband. We were all pleased & delighted on how delicious it was. There is something nostalgic about having these delicious pastries from an institution. They have been around since 1948. Everything was so delicious. Support this business so it continues to serve Chicago. Thank you Lutz for the experience!

This shop was recommended to me and I am sold on their pastries!!! The little I have sampled from was phenomenal! The cake was spongy and moist with a wonderful fresh buttercream The strudel soft but flaky. The flavors were so well balanced, not too sweet and absolutely not bland.

The staff members wes knowledgeable of everything in stock and the gentleman that helped me was a very cool guy. If I didn't cut myself off I would have bought one of everything....

I can't recommend Lutz Bakery enough. Their pastries and cakes are amazing! Some of the best I've had. The staff are very kind and helpful as well. Prices aren't bad either. Again, I highly recommend Lutz. Give them a try -- I know you'll love them as much as I do.
