50 Best Bakeries near Morton Grove

“best coffee cake . so many flavors“

“Wonderful place,great food, I was stuffed, will absolutely positively go back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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’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.“

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

“Excellent food and delicious“

“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.“

“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 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!!!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Everyone keeps talking about the cakes but everyone has been missing out on the absolutely 5 star cookies! We were able to try these at work, thanks to the absolutely wonderful donation of their products to help share with the community on Friday’s and for this we are so grateful and want to wish you good luck because the taste is wonderful!“

“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.“

“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!“

“There cakes and delicious Italian desserts yummy !“

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

“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.“

“This business specializes in birthday cakes. They offer great quality and I was really impressed by their talented bakers. The cake was really good and made with good ingredients. I really recommend this place to get your cake for your birthday, wedding or any special occasion.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 love Eli’s Cheesecake in Chicago and have been coming every year ( at least 10 years as of now) to pick up cheesecakes for the holidays. We usually buy 20+ cheesecakes for our friends and neighbors, and the service is always wonderful. Rosa, the store manager, was always especially kind and helpful during our visits. So and Bryan and the rest of the team this past holiday were friendly and helpful too.
Highly recommend! We will be back soon!“

“If you've been walking by but haven't gone in yet, do it!!! I ordered the strawberry tart and blueberry muffin and both were soo delicious. I'm a retired baker so I can be a tough critic, but I'm telling you the tart especially was very tasty and fresh and the shortbread base was sooo delicious! This is my new go-to bakery when I want to treat myself :) Also! The shop owner was very friendly. Great selection of bakery items, lots of seating, and many fun items in there for sale including cook books, greeting cards, and home goods.“

“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!!!!“

“Best sourdough in Illinois! Great service and a comfortable environment.“

“FYI- don’t take photos. I got into trouble for taking a picture. Wish they had a sign on the door that read “No pictures taking allowed”. Their food is very natural flavor that isn’t artificial anything. No high fructose corn syrup or anything super rich with flavor. To me everything tasted dull. I tried the brownies and they weren’t anything I would indulge in again. very light and natural. I did like the macaroons, those were excellent. I will definitely be buying them again. We spent $185 and pre-ordered our food for a mother’s day gift. We had to come and pick it up which was over an hour drive. But it’s the only place I know that makes 100% Organic since whole foods sold out to Amazon.“

“North Shore Bakery Rocks!! I have been going to this amazing Bakery since High School and let me tell you..... I love the bagels, challah bread, and cinnamon coffee cake. They make the best baked goods in town. I wanted to mention and recognize Ayellet for her hard work and dedication to the business and her customers. When I go into the store for my baked goods I always get a welcome with a smile. North Shore Bakery always makes me feel like I am there only customer they have! Thank you for your amazing selections, presentation, and kind approach to the art of baking and customer service! It does not go unnoticed. Thank you for continuing to be open during these difficult times we are facing.“

“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“

“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.“

“This place is absolutely gas. 100/10.

For under $7 you get a perfectly made brisket sandwich with a good portion on a fresh made bagel.

I love that the staff really could care less if I was there or not but still get great service and products.“

“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!!“

“Pan Artesanal slaps every time.“

“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“

“Delicious! I grew up in des plaines near this bakery and always drove by it but never noticed. My fiance did when we came to visit my family. After a few visits, we finally decided to stop by. I’m glad we did! The place is cozy, almost feels like a cute European cafe. We bought a variety of tiramisu flavors, and the honey cake. They were all so good and fresh tasting. The person who helped us was also very sweet and recommended a few items.“

“We drove from Genoa City Wisconsin because we heard how delicious everything was. We were NOT disappointed. The meat on our sandwiches, one corned beef and one pastrami, was piled high! Homemade brined pickles and bakery items exceeded our expectations. Worth the drive and we will be back.“

“I had a wonderful time at this bakery. My friend and I went, Stacy was so kind and friendly to us, and she explained all the desserts and cafe set up. I will definitely go back, with more of my friends and family. I really liked the Snickerdoodle cookies, Danish, and Pumpkin bread a lot.“
