15 Best Bakeries in Evanston

“best service! And delicious chocolate pie!“

“oh my gosh, Hewn is so cool – – such inventive and hearty and wholesome and beautiful flavor combinations – – I especially love what they do with fruit and nuts. I’m not surprised at all that their holiday special offerings sell out so quickly – – This is a special kind of bakery – – not too refined as to only have the sweetest and most delicate of desserts – – but more of a chefs kind of place – – you know the ingredients are going to be the finest out there. My only quibble is the inflexibility with the vegetarian sandwiches in their refrigerator – – the staff would not make me a fresh sandwich. But this is a minor quibble. I really do recommend them without reservation.“

“A true hidden gem in Evanston! As a Venezuelan, finding authentic flavors can be tough, but the cachitos here instantly transported me back to my childhood—they are incredibly delicious. The owners, Rolando and Angie, are absolutely fantastic people who make you feel right at home. The coffee shop itself is beautifully and tastefully decorated, creating a very welcoming atmosphere. It is absolutely worth stopping by to enjoy authentic Venezuelan flavors and strike up a great conversation. Highly recommend!“

“My team member Mary gifted me with some bagels along with the honey vanilla and strawberry spread and I literally couldn’t stop eating the bagels and spread. They were delicious! I can’t wait to grab more!!!!“

“We worked with Sweet Temptations to create our dream wedding cake and WOW is this team impressive. Looking back at our wedding photos, it is truly impossible to tell the difference between the inspiration photo sent and the cake delivered to our venue. It was GORGEOUS! In addition, the flavor was out of this world. They even sent a custom box to package our top tier for easy transportation after the reception. From planning to delivery to execution, Sweet Temptations exceed all expectations. Photo credit: Emma Petersen Photography“

“Yummy. Delicious and healthy“

“Awesome bakery. However the prices don’t always correspond with the serving size. I purchased a cheesecake square smaller than the palm of my hand and it was $5.45. Literally took 2 bites. Portion sizes are too small for the price“
