50 Best Bakeries near Lincolnwood

“The Reuben on toasted sesame seed bagel with Muenster cheese was great. So is their raspberry, apricot, chocolate drizzle and cinnamon raisin ruegalah. I went back today and it was just as good. The sesame seed bagel is so fresh and delicious. I doubled down on the ruegalah; two of each. 😋“

“Fantastic cake donuts and danishes! Schlegl's is a treasure. If you are in need of a morning (or afternoon) treat, go there! It's much better than a national chain or a supermarket! (I liked Dominick's cake donuts too, but Shlegl's's are bigger and better!) I only wish I lived closer....“

“This pizza is so delicious. Cheesy bread soooo delicious. And so different from other pizzas. Crispy on the outside soft inside and cool combination toppings for the win. Delivered by Dwell Social and heated in our oven. Fans for life 🍕“

“I recently was visiting Chicago and as a habit, I searched for Best Gluten Free bakery and discovered Defloured. What an amazing place. As a Celiac, finding good GF baked goods is rare to find. Wow what a selection. I purchased a chocolate cupcake, two love pucks, cinnamon rolls, poppy lemon bread, baguette, and aNutella sandwich cookie. Everything was really delicious. I mean world class quality. I now plan on making regular visits to Chicago so I can load up and fill my freezer with possibly the best GF baked goods in the U.S. I’ve tried a lot.“

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

“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.“

“The people running this place are delightful, and all of their food is so good it's unreal. I don't even like cake on a good day, but after trying their cup cake (the peanut butter chocolate one), I went back for seconds and thirds.“

“Great little place. Got there at 5:00, it closes at 6.... but by 5:30 it was packed with dinners at tables and picking up take out. Perhaps stay open until 7?? Seems like there's a lot of demand right after work gets out. Tried several things, but the savory menu was probably my favorite. BLT Biscuit was excellent with lots of thick cut bacon. The Sausage Biscuit was phenomenal, especially with the perfectly cooked jammy egg on top! The Chicken Pot Pie was also good, with excellent crust crammed full of nice thick filling, with plenty of meat. Then we tried the Quiche. Lovely fluffy texture in the eggs and tons of vegetables, again with a great crust. The two sweet pies we tried were the Key Lime and the Chicory Chocolate French Silk. I liked them both, wanted a little more greatness in the key lime - but for those who like the creamier smoother flavored key lines it would be perfect. The chocolate again was good but i craved a little bit more of an intense punch of flavor. Just my personal preferences. There was nothing i wouldn't eat again, and i think it was all very fairly priced. Nice bohemian atmosphere and great service. Definitely recommend.“

“The food was ok... I had fried green tomatoes, eggs, and bacon. The bacon was very thin and the portions were small. Nice atmosphere, but the restaurant is small and crowded... but they have outside seating as well. They seem to be very popular. The waitress was very delightful and helpful with providing info about the menu while I decided on what I wanted. I like this place! 💞“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Wow, this bakery is amazing! I’ve been here twice, and everything is so delicious! Plus, everyone is super friendly. I usually get the chai spice roll (it’s the best!) and any savory pastry I’m in the mood for. They have such a wide variety of options. I’ll definitely be back every time!“

“best service! And delicious chocolate pie!“

“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!“

“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.“

“We ordered desserts for my daughter’s wedding sweet table this past weekend and it was a big hit. Guests couldn’t stop talking about the delicious treats! Thank you so much! This is the second family wedding we ordered desserts for!“

“The cheesecake, macarons and panna Cotta was fabulous! The owners are so very nice with a lovely business.“

“Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! The cake was beautifully designed, fresh, and SO delicious. You can tell so much care and talent goes into their work. Everyone at the event kept asking where the cake was from. Highly recommend and will 100% order again!“

“Excellent food and delicious“

“Fantastic from start to finish.“

“I ordered a Matcha Chi iced latte and it was BOMB! A comedian also came in that I recognize from LA and said hello. Super cute space & environment 🫶🏾 I also live in Springfield IL and this is my first experience!“

“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!!“

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

“What a charming little room, bright and airy even on a gray day! We were so relieved to find ample seating right away after work. The pastries were delicious, and it was lovely just to sit and chat for a while. A wonderful escape from the weather.“

“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.“

“Wonderful bakery! Pastries were incredible and staff were so pleasant. Visited two times during my recent weekend stay. I look forward to returning!“

“Just back from Copenhagen and Helsinki, ate a croissant a day. Verzenay is still champ.“

“I had never tried Korean pastries before and these were amazing! Bertha was so kind and explained all the different options and I chose the savory bread, mocha and a small sampler of chestnut, green tea and mocha. The savory bread was the perfect mashup of the best egg roll filling stuffed in a pillowy bread with a crunchy top. So amazing. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“The best thing about this cafe is that I do not live anywhere near it, so I can't go every day. But for real, everything I have had from them from savory to sweet has been absolutely fantastic, and I am not easy to please when it comes to baked goods. I cannot comment on the coffee, because I don't drink it.

But try a cookie! Or a scone! Or a biscuit!“

“What a welcomed addition to the neighborhood, small yet intimate. Fabulous food complete w/a fabulous, thoughtful staff - very attentive, always smiling!! My new go to place for authentic Greek food, aroma of fresh coffee, and exquisite orange pie. Not to be missed!!“

“If you love pie, this is simply the best pie shop in Chicago.

One of the things I appreciate most is that Hoosier Mama embraces the seasons, constantly changing many of its fruit pies to showcase the freshest ingredients while still maintaining an outstanding selection of year-round favorites. Over the years I’ve worked my way through much of the menu, and it is hard to pick favorites, but the strawberry rhubarb, strawberry chiffon, cherry, sour cream apple, and sour cream cherry pies have all been exceptional.

What sets Hoosier Mama apart is the balance between creativity and tradition. You’ll find beautifully executed classics alongside innovative seasonal creations that keep you coming back to see what’s new. Their savory pies are equally impressive and make a fantastic lunch or light dinner.

Located in West Town—one of Chicago’s best neighborhoods for outstanding restaurants and bars—Hoosier Mama is a true Chicago gem that should be on every local’s and visitor’s list. Whether you’re buying a whole pie for a celebration or just stopping in for a slice, it’s consistently one of the city’s finest dessert experiences.“

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

“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.“

“Thank you for the amazing Mario cup cakes! They were adorable and delicious!“

“OMG the coffee here is absolutely amazing, but the spinach pastry thing they have is to die for! I got one and we walked around the area for a bit, before leaving I had to run back inside to grab all the remaining spinach pastries! They only had one left and ofcourse i grabbed it immediately! I still think about that spinach pastry literally everyday it was so freaking good!!! Mindy's is now a must have for me everytime i am in chicago!“

“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.“

“There cakes and delicious Italian desserts yummy !“

“I absolutely recommend not only are the treats delicious but customer service is amazing.“

“This place is amazing!!! Thanks to Nickey (one of the most Chicago people I have ever met) for making sure I had 10 of the most delicious Arancini's I have ever eaten. The sourdough bread is legendary. We tried to go back last weekend but they were closed for some remodeling. No worries because we will be back EVERY time we are back in Chicago. next time, I will be trying MANY more items.“

“This is not technically a review of their baked goods, which are undeniably amazing and baked with love as you’ll see in this story. Jennivee's Bakery , LLC’s AMAZING staff saved my dogs life!! This past Friday, one of the owners, Andres, the bakery staff, and an amazing group of dedicated bystanders rescued my dog, Mo, who had run off in Oz Park and was missing and in danger for hours prior to his rescue. After seeing Mo dart into traffic multiple times, this amazing group of strangers was able to corner him, and Andres bravely was able to grab him. He and the team at Jennivee’s then sheltered him and calmed him as long as it took and were ultimately able to bring him to Bond Vet who scanned his microchip and got in touch with me. My dogs are basically my kids. I pour allllll of my love into them. I still can’t believe how lucky we got and how close of a call this was. We’re shaken but relieved and endlessly grateful to Andres and everyone at Jennivee’s!!! Run don’t walk to get yourself some amazing treats and support this incredible business and the people in it!!!!“

“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.“

“We walked past this spot on our way to the book store. My son spotted it right away and insisted we stop. I got a chocolate chip cookie and it was amazing. I was surprised by how soft and tasty the cookie was.

Overall, a great spot to get a tasty cookie treat.“

“Mr. Cake makes such beautiful and delicious cakes. We were very surprised on how these turned out. I provided the picture for reference and the way they decorated both cakes was so beautiful. My kids loved them! I will keep ordering from them.“

“This bakery is an incredible addition to the downtown area of Evanston. You can tell that the owners are very passionate about providing to their customers a truly memorable experience. The cachitos are delicious and the vibes are great! This little corner provides a breath of fresh air, a touch of Venezuelan culture. I will continue to come here regularly!!“

“I have no doubt his place is going to be amazing.“

“Welcoming, attentive, respectful and gracious hosts. Spending money here feels good for the soul.“

“This place is the bomb! I just ordered my third cake from the Sugar Daddy for a friend's birthday and once again, they exceeded expectations. This cake was vegan so I was a little unsure how it would taste, but it was absolutely decadent and delicious. It was a showstopper at the party making it feel extra special, and was a huge hit with everyone in attendance. The Sugar Daddy team are really talented and put a lot of care into their work. It's well worth what they charge for such a high quality, personalized cake. Thank you!“

“Walked here in the winter night at 9:30pm to get my fix of my favorite cookies! The staffs were very friendly and the cookies were still warm even at night! I’ve been to Levain in NY & DC and the quality was also consistent here: buttery with crispy outer layer and soft inside layer! I got the promo winter tin with 8 cookies: dark chocolate chocolate chip cookies & walnut chocolate chip cookies. They were yummy! My favorite chocolate chip cookie in the world!“
