50 Best Bakeries near Lincolnwood

“High quality and super fresh coffee cakes and donuts. Are they expensive? Sure, but so are grocery items, such as milk, eggs and sugar. Superb quality. You get what you pay for and you are getting top quality while supporting a small business.“

“Without a doubt, the best bagel I’ve had in Chicago.
Authentic NY style bagel spot with tons of baked goods.
Bagel is amazingly crispy and the everything had so much flavor without just being overly salty like some places do.
Also got a bialy and the cream cheese was fantastic! Brings me right back to visiting my uncle in New York as a kid.

10/10, Will be back. (and next time, I’m buying a t-shirt!)“

“We stopped in today on a tip and what a delicious treat! Highly recommend!“

“Finally hit up Pie, Pie My Darling in Ukrainian Village—100% vegan heaven! Spent around $20 on a funfetti cupcake, a slice of key‑lime jar pie, plus a salted‑choc chip cookie. All killer, no filler. The vibes are cozy grab‑and‑go, staff are super friendly, and you can tell it’s made with love. Had peeps on the ‘gram talking it up, and damn—they weren’t lying. Can’t wait to swing by again!“

“This place. Wow. Like a well-oiled pastry machine. I have gone there sporadically over the past couple years but really buckled down and started committing to every Sunday these past few weeks. lol. The variety is just astounding and the quality is second to none. I always have the intention of leaving with 2 or 3 things but so far haven't managed to leave with less than 9 or 10 at each visit. Take my money!!!!!!“

“best service! And delicious chocolate pie!“

“Had the bodega breakfast sando after a long bike ride. The brioche was nothing short of perfect and the whole thing was delicious. Definitely coming back multiple times. Staff was super friendly. and the place has a good atmosphere. This is one of those places that you're surprised it isn't packed.“

“I made a reservation for the mothers day tea event and I'm am so glad I did! The food was delicious and the portions sizes were perfect! The tea was delicious and everyone was kind as usual! I hope they hold more events like this one! It was a fun and delicious event! I tell everyone about this place when I can.“

“This place is a gem! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how kind and knowledgeable the staff was. The girl who helped me was so sweet, super patient, and explained everything perfectly. You can really tell they care about the customer experience and make sure you feel comfortable and taken care of. Now let’s talk about the lemonades—WOW. Infused and delicious, it was honestly one of the best lemonades I’ve ever had. And the baked goods? Incredible. Soft, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. Everything I tried was amazing, and I can’t wait to go back and try more. I seriously love, love, love this place. The staff, the products, the vibe—Blazed Bakery is on point. Thank you for such an awesome experience!“

“The atmosphere is relaxed. The service is pleasant. The Parisienne sandwich makes me realize how wonderful simple can be. I crave that sandwich. I ate it for lunch today and already can’t wait for the next time.“

“There’s lots of options to choose from (more on the sweeter side). Heads up, this is a grab and go bakery, therefore, there is no indoor seating (only a bar to stand at outside). They will also not heat up the pastries :/

The hot fudge babka $6⭐️4/5
It did not really taste like it had chocolate… it was still delicious, but it tasted more like an apples strudel and banana bread mix—yummy but not chocolate babka lol

The smoked ham brown grainy mustard + Gruyère croissant ($7.50) ⭐️2/5
This didn’t hit it for me :/ If you know you love gruyère cheese, then I say give it a go, if you’re unsure, probably try something else?

Update:
Hot fudge croissant ⭐️3.5/5
A bit on the drier side and I felt that they skimped on the chocolate a bit. But it was a delicious pastry

Blackberry cheesecake danish ⭐️3/5
This was yummy and an easy to-go eat. I wish there was a bit more cheese tho

Banana bread cold brew ⭐️4/5
Idk how they do it, but this legit tastes like banana bread in a drink. Perfect for the fall season.“

“I drive 2 hours 1 way to get their treats! Celiac safe!“

“Always loved their Greek pastries, they are the best, started going to them 60 yrs ago with my mom and dad. We were always going to Hellas for our parties baptisms and weddings. All our holiday needs were easily available for us. Unfortunately, we moved out to Poplar Grove, Illinois near Belvedere and have missed them greatly. Always love them and it brings a tears to my eyes, that they are still around. God bless them. My parents knew the owners personally.“

“So today I had a friend in from out of town and we topped off our afternoon with a visit to Miski Bakery. I was dying to try the alfajores, and they did not disappoint! The very delicate morsels melted in our mouth, and the creamy luscious dollop of dulce de leche caramel was a perfect pairing. In addition we tried the Milhojas/Napoleons in two flavors the Lucuma pastry creme and also the dulce de leche. A thousand layers is correct, these were amazingly tall, crispy and filled with air, both were delicious but the Lucuma(a Peruvian fruit) pastry creme was the standout. It had such a delightful delicate flavor I had never tasted previously. After speaking with Carmen the owner I asked whether or not they ever carried Turrón de doñja Pepa. She just happened to have some freshly baked sitting on the tray behind the counter, but alas it was still awaiting its filling. This gives me a great reason to return and indulge in that special treat. It is prepared every other week. The service was warm and friendly. This is definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood you shouldn't miss out on. I will be returning often.“

“When I think about our trip to Chicago, the first thing that comes to mind, is Bang Bang Pies. I have never been in awe of such a place. The staff was so kind and patient. We had the most DELICIOUS pie and breakfasts I can ever recall. I can’t remember what my husband got because I am still drooling over the BLT with those earth shattering tomatoes that tasted like heaven. The biscuits were top notch and melted like butter in your mouth. And the pie! Oh my god that pie. It was the plum blackberry pie that I just know, I’ll never be able to recreate that as much as I would love to. Being from south Louisiana and having such amazing food up north was so unexpected and a wonderful surprise for us. Once we financially recover from all the money we spent while on our honeymoon (one of the reasons we were in Chicago) I’m ordering every single item online that I possibly can because I need to make sure that I can enjoy this place from home.“

“Directions:

Walk into D’Amato’s

Stand with the million other people there trying to form some semblance of a line

Greet the seemingly rude but probably just overstimulated and direct staff member

Order the chicken Ceasar sandwich and the vodka chicken sandwich (if you’re alone its ok- nothing beats leftovers)

Order a lemon ricotta cookie and a headful of other yummy desserts- you know, for the road.

Take a seat in their very limited seating area or your car- the key is to eat these (particularly the vodka chicken) as soon as possible

Indulge in some of the greatest delicacies that are the D’Amato’s

The next day, thank yourself for the leftovers if you manage to keep any.

Dream about her for the next few days until you return.

Mission complete“

“I absolutely love this place. My 7 year old loves to go and get his hot dog in a bun and my favorite is the shrimp balls, so delicious!!“

“We’re huge fans of The Bear, which steered us here on our Chicago trip - so glad we found this place! We loved the mushroom adobo and longnanisa breakfast sandwich! The mango tarts were amazing, as were our lattes. We left with an apple hand pie to eat the following morning, which was still had perfectly crispy pastry. Definitely worth the hour wait to get in.“

“fantastic fresh and tasty cookies~ but, their brownies are even better😍🙌 I received a corporate freebie from NJC. When my package arrived it was not in perfect condition....having traveled through a snow storm and a holiday weekend...it was disappointing..(FedEx, not them) I called them to say hello and alert them to my sadness....They not only replaced the promo box, but added extra goodies and shipped it overnight with a sweet message from the owner. 👍😍 First Class all the way...And, AMAZING sweets! I'd recommended this company for any corporate gift program. Thanks Jonathan.“

“I can’t say enough great things about this place, I make a stop every chance I get! I’ve tried nearly everything, but the Kale scones are amazing! The coffee drinks are great and delicious. I’m a full time working mom, and my parents who watch my baby while I work said the only payment they need is a box of broken tart pastries! The people there are great, they really work as a team and are super efficient. Saturdays beware though, people are lined up, and for good reason!“

“Yummy, delicious, flavorful cookies, and friendly staff. We stood in line outside as they were super busy, but so worth it!“

“Girl & the Goat completely exceeded my expectations! very good food“

“Welcome to Roscoe Village. Oh my goodness, this place is soo much better than the Starbucks that was there previously. I hope you are able to put a few small tables on the sidewalk when the weather is nice. It is the perfect little neighborhood spot for a delicious coffee & croissant.“

“It’s my first time to eat Nhulan Chicago, a Vietnamese cuisine, it was a wonderful experience !!!“

“We had lunch here today, and loved everything! Roberto, our server, was the best! Super friendly. Brisket sandwich was fab! Best potato salad I've ever had! Can't wait to go back!“

“Been here various times because this bakery specializes in croissants! This is the place for the variety of croissants you can’t find in other bakeries.
My favorite is the cheese filled croissant.
I also recently brought pastries for the office and everyone loved them!
The place can be hard time find and is hidden but that makes it much greater!“

“It was a pleasure working with ECBG Studio! From our cake tasting to the delivery until every last bite of cake was devoured by our guests! There was not one slice left at the end of the night! We cannot wait to our one year anniversary to have another bite of cake! We HIGHLY recommend !“

“One of my favorite bakeries. You will find Asian and French inspired pastries that are always delicious 😋. I have been going there for years and would always recommend. They also make special occasion cakes!“

“The cookies are honestly mid because they makeup for in value of appearance and clout you get from posting it on your insta, you can buy cheaper and same taste In a grocery story. Only went because girlfriend begged me to go and it was ok taste. Only come here if you can pay card NO CASH

Parking: No parking downtown“

“What's not to love about this unique, local pie shop? I've been here a few times, and walked away happy every time. There are several size choices, and every flavour hits the spot. Decoration is lively, as is the staff. I make sure to leave time to visit every time I come to Chicago.“

“This place is both beautiful the cakes and macaroons are the best I’ve ever had pricey but worth it for a special occasion . I highly recommend“

“I had ordered a whipped cream cake with cannoli and custard filling it was delicious all the guests loved it and the birthday girl was so happy it's her favorite you did a wonderful job thank you. Danita“

“The bread is out of this world. My personal favorite is the seeded. The pastries are also very good. What a treasure.“

“Simply the best cheesecake in the Chicagoland area! Always delicious, always fresh upon thawing, always our family’s favorite. Chocolate chip is especially outstanding and we love the key lime too. A lotta love in those slices! Can’t imagine going anywhere else.“

“There cakes and delicious Italian desserts yummy !“

“Cinnamon bun thingys were delicious! I had the chocolate chip cookies. I don’t like Simi sweet chocolate so I wasn’t thrilled. How hard would it be to use milk chocolate on some of the cookies. The quality and freshness of cookie was great just not the type of chocolate. Please make peanut butter too.“

“Was really happy with their cheese danish and iced vanilla latte today.“

“Excellent! Thank you so much for the Fatayer, will be back for more! Baklava, Date cookies, Dubai chocolate:)“

“My boyfriend surprised with custom cake for my birthday and it was the MOST PERFECT GLUTEN FREE CAKE I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! He got my favorite bubble tea flavor combination, taro and oreo!! I never thought I would have a cake with taro and it was incredible.“

“Oshawn & Larry went above and beyond at my recent visit to Auntie Anne's! The pretzel hot bogs weren't available yet because of how early it was (they are my FAVORITE) so I was kinda bummed out but they were able to move efficiently and get them out to me in 10 minutes! It's nice to see that in a world where good customer service is declining, that Auntie Anne's maintains it's outstanding customer experience, along with great food! Thank you guys again!“

“Their bread, pastries, and cakes are out of this world. The flavors they’re able to deliver without too much sweetness is a refreshing change in a bakery. I go as often as I can.“

“This is the best bakery in Chicago (on Earth?). We were ordering when he was slingin’ pastries out of BC up the street. You cannot get better stuff in Chicago.“

“I am super excited because they opened a new location near me in Birmingham. MI

Organic and super fresh baked French goods are rare to find! The croissants are so soft inside and crunchy outside😋😋This bakery deserves more than 5-stars. Check them out and you will visit again I promise.“

“I have been enjoying breads and pastries from New Dokil my whole life from various asian grocery stores (Joong Boo, Hmart, Tai Nam, Park to Shop) and always get something the moment I see it. My favorites have to be the white bean bread, every cream bread, and mocha castella. Always fresh, super soft, and not too sweet. I would like to visit the main location one day for a special occasion cake.“

“Mr Cake Never Disappoints. The staff is so incredibly friendly and pay attention to detail. Their cakes are always rich in flavor, soft and never dry. I have ordered a lot of cakes from them in the past but this time around I had to order my cake over the phone since I could not make it in. I had full faith in them to design my daughter’s cake with one request, light pink with white flowers. I knew I was going to love whatever design they came up with because they are just that good. Thank you Mr Cake!“
