Some pictures online are misleading. This is just a vending machine.

This place has a very cool concept for getting a dessert: a 24-hour vending machine offering many options for cakes. It's pretty easy to use. Basically, you pick a flavor of cake you want on a screen. Each slot inside the machine with a specific cake flavor has its own number. If I remember correctly, all the cakes have the same price - $8. I believe it is a little overpriced because the cakes are not that big. However, I must say that all the cakes I tried were very delicious and seemed fresh. My favorite flavor so far is the Almond Cake, which gives a mix of sweet vanilla and almond flavors. The chocolate cakes from the machine were very tasty too. A big plus is that each cute pink box a cake comes in also has a little plastic spoon inside if you want to eat it right away outdoors.
The location of this cake machine is good, only a couple of blocks away from Michigan Avenue, in the heart of Chicago where a lot of hotels and other businesses are. The little problem is that the machine is kind of hidden on the corner of a wall. Search for the green signboard “The Grand Ohio Condominium” to find The Bakery Box.
I also have to mention a big issue with the machine - not all the cakes are actually available to get. Some slots with cakes were not available even though the cakes were there. The machine gave an error for these slots, and there was nothing I could do about it. This happened to me a couple of times when I went to get the cakes, and I believe the same slots did not work for a few days. They definitely need to fix this issue. Otherwise, there's nothing negative to mention about this Bakery Box. Very smart concept!
I absolutely recommend trying a dessert from this machine.

I can’t comment on the food. I am in Chicago OFTEN and every time I come to one of these machines, they are DEAD. Dead dead dead and no way to get anything.

Shop doesn’t exist at this location. Called the number listed on google and the person had no clue about the shop and its a personal number who keeps getting calls about this.

Please! Please! Pleeeeaaase bring this machine back to Chicago Union Station! You just don’t know how convenient it was to buy these cute personal cakes for someone at work! I was so sad when it went away & i cannot stress how it’s desperately needed back!

The novelty of a cake ATM is the draw and the presentation of the cakes is adorable. The cake was very sweet but delicious!

I was on my way to the airport and wanted to grab them. Have never had them before. I could not figure out how to order more than one at a time. Also had trouble taking the same payment twice. I payed three different ways for my three cakes. They look delish.

My favorite place to go at 2am I love every cake out this thing but it’s not always working and it double charged me once but I still go cuz I’m addicted to sugar and the cakes are amazing
