50 Best Bakeries near Lincolnwood

“This place is great! Late hours, impeccable sandwiches, and super cool to see the bagels being made in the back! Its even better now that I can paint ceramics next door at Paint-n-Party and get a snack while I wait for them to dry. I will be doing both much more frequently!“

“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....“

“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!“

“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 🍕“

“I’ve been going to Bang Bang Pie & Biscuits for years — back when my cousin worked there — and it’s still one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. The ginger cookies are reason enough to visit on their own.

Everything feels thoughtful without feeling overdone. Great food, great people, and the kind of place that becomes part of your routine before you realize it. Logan Square wouldn’t feel quite the same without it.“

“My spouse and I visited France last summer, and as you'd expect, the pastries—particularly the laminated-dough pastries—were consistently amazing. What they were not, however, is discernably any MORE amazing than the thoughtful, surprising, perfectly-executed pastries that Anne & co make every week at S&BK, which is two blocks from our house.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“best service! And delicious chocolate pie!“

“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.“

“Delicious baked goods with friendly staff

Grabbed a quiche around 2pm on a Friday. Most of the baked goods are sold out - come early in the morning to find more options!

Paid about $8 for a personal sized quiche“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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!!!!“

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

“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.“

“Hard to not get everything behind the pastry counter! Delicious pastry assortment, savory and sweet-something for everyone! Don’t skip on the pimento biscuit. Super crispy and great balance of buttery, cheesy, perfect amount of pimento in the middle. Coffees tasted great. Wasn’t super busy on a Sunday at 9 but I could see it picking up a bit later. Plenty of seating inside and outside.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“There cakes and delicious Italian desserts yummy !“

“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 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!!“

“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 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.“

“Bought a cake from them for my mom‘s birthday, they always do a great job and are very friendly and helpful. The cake was beautiful and everyone loved it. I would highly recommend this shop and will be getting my next cake there also!!“

“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!!“

“Fantastic from start to finish.“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“Pan Artesanal slaps every time.“

“​We were looking for a place on a Thursday around 9:30 p.m. to be able to hang out with an 18-year-old, and this was one of the very few places that was open, and off we went.

​It is a small shop with limited seating. I ordered a decaf Americano with pistachio milk and a vegan chocolate chip walnut cookie. Yes; they have a vegan massive cookie ! The cookie was incredible! Even this late at night, the chocolate chips were just super soft and the cookie was delicious but $6.25 for a cookie, darn.

​But the staff—oh my goodness, the staff! The girl that helped us was so, so absolutely sweet. She really made the visit even more memorable.

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

“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.“

“We just moved to the area and have been eyeballing Artemios since it’s on our walk to Greeley and the park. We finally stopped by today and got an assortment of items because of course we wanted to try it all! The prices are AMAZING, very affordable! We LOVED the taste of everything we got! Definitely very fresh, tasty and homemade. We will definitely be back!“
