50 Best Bakeries near Lincolnwood

“Review written 02/09/2026. It was tasty. Cheddar bagel with chive cream cheese.

However it was unclear what was really available to order, prices were unclear etc.

Menu should be updated for clarity.

Also note there is a 4% fee to use a card, so I recommend to bring cash.

And note the parking lot is 1-way so be careful to enter from correct way“

“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....“

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

“I tried a slice of their rainbow cake at Penelope's Vegan Taqueria a couple of years ago, and honestly, it was the best cake I’ve ever had. I’m not usually a big cake person myself, but this one completely changed my mind. It wasn’t overly sweet, and it was incredibly moist.
I planned to save the slice for when I got back home since I live four hours away. I ended up eating the whole thing before I even left Chicago. If that doesn’t say how amazing it is, I don’t know what does.“

“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 🍕“

“Can't ingest cow dairy so good snacks & desserts are limited. So glad I found BBP&B for their vegan options, namely February's vegan raspberry pie, March's vegan blueberry mint (I know it sounds a bit odd, but you get this extra hint of freshness from the mint and not a mint taste competing with the fruit. I don't even like mint), and the vegan ginger molasses cookies. You have to pre-order vegan pies >48 hours in advance and it is definitely worth it.“

“I used to live in Roger’s Park 5 years ago and when I tell you I think about this place weekly, I mean it. As the name implies, incredible breads and sauces. The Ukranian Tartine was my absolute favorite. This place is such a gem that I feel like doesn’t get enough recognition.“

“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.“

“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 spot has some truly unique and incredibly tasty pastries 😍🥐 The team working there gives off such positive energy-it’s obvious they genuinely enjoy what they do, which makes the whole experience even better ✨ I absolutely loved the chai spice cinnamon roll, it was rich, warm, and perfectly balanced 🍂 and the brown butter salted caramel blondie was next-level indulgent 🤤 The pizza focaccia, though, was just okay-not bad, but nothing that really stood out. One thing to keep in mind: it gets *very* busy! When I visited, there was already a long line about 10 minutes before opening, even on a cold, snowy Saturday morning ❄️⏰ so plan ahead if you don’t want to wait too long!“

“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!“

“best service! And delicious chocolate pie!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“Hendrickx Belgian Bread Crafter is such a gem. An amazing bakery with the fluffiest croissants and genuinely solid coffee. I was working next door for a week and getting to stop in every morning felt like a small daily luxury.

I did not get the chance to try their sandwiches which I regret because everything looked incredible, so that alone is reason enough to come back. I am absolutely returning for more.

Also the man working there was so sweet and welcoming it honestly made the experience. He kind of looks like someone out of a baroque painting somehow warm + timeless. One of those places that makes a city feel special.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Excellent food and delicious“

“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!!!!“

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

“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.“

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

“There's a reason the line here is sometimes half a block long. The scones and banana bread are out of this world but the Olive oil cake is among the tastiest things I've had. Regardless of the time of day or how crowded they are the staff is friendly and incredibly efficient. I've never had to wait on my order for more than a couple of minutes. Fantastic neighborhood gem!“

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

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

“Mindy’s Bakery is an absolute delight! The baked goods are fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. From cookies and cupcakes to breads and pastries, everything tastes homemade and satisfying.

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for picking up a treat or enjoying a sweet snack on-site. The staff is friendly and helpful, always ready to offer recommendations.

Overall, Mindy’s Bakery is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their delicious treats!“

“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.“

“I just ate one of the most delightful pie slices ever! The Hoosier Sugar Cream is delicious! There is more on the menu that I like than not. I am more of a custard pie person and most here are good, with my favorites being banana and butter milk. I love their chicken pot pie as well as their oatmeal cookies.“

“We ordered a large cookie order for a work event from this location. The team turned around the order quickly and accurately. Nicky and Bill were both pleasant, responsive, and a pleasure to work with! I would highly recommend this location.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Coming here feels like a little piece of Venezuela. The cachitos, the pastries, the coffee… everything tastes like home. You can tell it’s made with care and real flavor, not shortcuts. The vibe is warm, people are friendly, and it just hits that nostalgia in the best way. If you’re Venezuelan, you’ll get it right away. If you’re not, you’re still going to love it.“

“Everything I have tasted from here had been excellent ,I am especially fond of their chocolate doughnuts,, sweet rolls and their Cannoli cake is great.“

“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!“

“I’ve ordered cakes from here throughout my relationship with my (now) wife, and I have always been so happy with everything. This latest time was no exception. We got the Sinful Daddy (red velvet) and it was SO FREAKIN GOOD! And the design they did for the cake was absolutely perfect. My wife loved it - it truly made their birthday special. Thank you to everyone at Sugar Daddy for always coming through.“

“We have been regulars for a while and couldn’t be happier with Levain’s quality, friendliness and atmosphere. Yes, it’s pricey, but you really get your money’s worth here.

While the cookies are the signature item and crowd pleaser for a reason, their breads and rolls shouldn’t be overlooked. We are very picky when it comes to bread (we usually bake ourselves) but Levain’s products are really top notch. Some personal recommendations: the ciabatta, the whole grain loaf, the country boule and the whole wheat walnut raisin loaf.

And well, the cookies - to be honest, we didn’t know how good a cookie could taste before we had our first from Levain. You can’t go wrong with any of them, but please give the dark chocolate chocolate chip a try if you can.

We also love their team - they manage to be quick and super friendly at the same time. I’d say that the warm atmosphere of the store’s interior is perfectly mirrored in the welcoming attitude of Levain’s staff.

Well-deserved five stars and a clear recommendation! (Just know that once you’ve tried their cookies, no other cookie will ever come close…)“

“My toddler offered this review when she said the following after she took a bite of the tomato and basil scone, "Pizza! So yummy!"“

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

“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!!!!“

“Drove 45 minutes and well worth the trip. I couldn’t choose…so I bought quiche, key lime, chocolate chess, chocolate cream and pecan pies. All fantastic, but the pecan is my absolute fave. Go here. Your taste buds will never forgive you if you don’t!“

“I went yesterday when visiting Chicago. I had never had it before but I went by the recommendations of Skokie residents and I was very impressed. I took 6 desserts home to Kentucky and my only regret is I didn’t take more oatmeal raisin cookies. Those were absolutely phenomenal.“

“There cakes and delicious Italian desserts yummy !“
