50 Best Bakeries near Oak Park

“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!“

“OMG WOW! Amazing bakery! I go to tons of bakeries & I think this is the best one in Oak Park & one of the best in Chicagoland! I LOVED everything I tried from the cookies, to muffins to scones. Super high quality & extremely fresh products. Some of the pastries were still warm from the oven as I got there right at 8 am when they open. Even then, there was a little line out the door. Many people got coffee drinks but I didn’t this time. They also have $2 wonky cookies (just weirdly shaped cookies) that are a great deal. I tried: chocolate chip cookie, banana bread, vegan chocolate muffin (extra delish), goat cheese chili scone (excellent) & the wonky birthday cookie (amazing & buttery - melts in your mouth). Can’t wait to go back & try other things! Please note the place is tiny with only a few tables & chairs & there’s metered street parking so I took my order to go.

10.25.24 update: the kale salad done is truly amazing! The toasted coconut cake was sooo good and the chiffon cake was delightful. The savory corn biscuit was good but I preferred the scone, which is totally worth traveling for.“

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

“Best bakery ever!!! Absolutely everything is delicious!!!“

“Always a great place to stop for quiche and coffee. ❤️❤️❤️“

“now any other time I book with them everything be Smooth, but today 8/27/22 was HORRIBLE! double lines nobody order was ready at pick up time, n they did nothing to compensate the customers just kept saying come back in a hour like wtf. baker didn't even come from the back to address our complaints was a very long wait n they were slightly rude smh, plus the prices have went up even using EBT. Do better Laurys Ive been a customer for yearsssss hate to have to do business else where.“

“Great staff, quality product with less wait“

“Lots to offer, works to benefit the community“

“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 🍕“

“SBK is everything… the pastries and cookies are so delicious, always a decadent treat. The savory sandwiches, so flavorful with house made sauces in the mix. Weekends start off right with an SBK pizza on a Friday night. I’ve been coming here for years. During Covid, SBK became my local grocery store. One of my favorite establishments in Chicago, I will always be a fan.“

“Amazing place! We're lucky to live walking distance from it, and me and my wife are regulars here. My go-to's are: sausage biscuit, chicken pot pie, s'mores pie, chocolate pecan pie, but you can't really go wrong with anything you order!“

“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.“

“So, Babe had a taste for a blueberry muffin. We decided to stop in here. They did not have any muffins available at the moment BUT they had a blueberry donut. Needless to say, we walked out with a dozen assorted donuts. I've already eaten 3 and my taste buds are EXTREMELY satisfied 😍 The staff was super friendly and the establishment was very clean. Everything looked so delicious. I know we'll definitely go back again to try other pastries 😀 $21 for a dozen donuts. Definitely worth supporting a small business as opposed to Dunkin Donuts. . This place makes their donuts with love 💕 Well worth it 💕“

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

“Food was amazing. An incredible selection of savory and sweet. I had trouble picking which one of the four very different things I ate was my favorite. The only real downsides are twofold: there isn’t a great coffee selection (since that isn’t their primary function) and there is very limited seating. Don’t let that discourage you because everything is easy to eat on the go or in your car and they will package it for you by default. Adding this place to rotation!“

“Be quick at ordering because there’s going to be a line! Good news is that I have the sense nothing is bad here. I got a ham and cheese and mustard croissant which was perfect, and the banana coffee cake which was DIVINE. Just wish they could do a toasted and creamed bagel, so 4 stars for customer service.“

“The cakes are INCREDIBLE! We ordered a chocolate pistachio cake in June, and it was the best chocolate cake of any kind I've ever had. I had family in town for a special occasion, so I got a red velvet cake this time. My family is not easily impressed, and none of us are vegan. But I KNEW if the red velvet was half as good as that chocolate pistachio cake, it would be a hit. Everyone loved it! I had to pack folks extra pieces to take with them.

The cakes are so flavorful, moist, and dense in an excellent way without losing out on a good texture and crumb. There is no flavor I wouldn't trust this bakery with. Pie, Pie My Darling is amazing. It's been a godsend this year, as I've had to avoid dairy. I plan to continue ordering from them after I can have dairy again.

Dietary restrictions: Perfect vegan bakery.“

“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!!“

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

“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!“

“There conchas are always fresh“

“Last minute decision for a dinner idea and turned out TO BE THE BEST decision EVUH!!!
The chicken parm vodka sub (recommended by the manager) and the chicken cesar sub.... Chef's KISS 💋 🤌
Well worth the 38min bumper to bumper drive from Bridgeview!!!“

“This is a pick-up only bakery located in Pilsen. We got the caramel Tres leches and coconut Tres leches. Both were really good. The sweetness was perfect and not too much. Would highly recommend this bakery for their wide selection of pastries“

“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.“

“Love the tres leches coconut ? always great service! And a pleasure talking with the staff always friendly and positive! Keep it up guys y’all are amazing and your cakes too! Always getting them delivered or picking them up for every birthday!“

“I love the fresh food , reasonable prices and how polite and helpful the ladies are. I have been going to this bakery for over 18 years. I moved far from it, and I drive an hour to come buy from there.“

“If you want your whole day to be great get there early and get a piece of hot galetouboutiko....it makes your morning sing!!!!! The melomakardna and koutiembedes are phenomenal💯“

“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.“

“Today, 20 Sep my daughter brought home a dozen chocolate donuts. I was shocked when I opened the box. Apparently your bakery is downsizing the donuts. Much smaller and worse of all , what happened to the chocolate coating on the donuts. Did you run out? They use to be smothered with chocolate. Very disappointed.“

“The best cookies that I tried!
When I went for the first time I needed a seller because this work like self service, they help me and were so kind. Cookies are expensive but so delicious. The store is too small and it’s confuse because there are two lines, one for order and one for pickup, because of the size of the store it’s kind a mess“

“I absolutely love Crumbl Cookies, especially since they started offering cakes! The flavors are always incredible, and the cakes add an extra layer of deliciousness to their already amazing selection. Every time I visit, the service is quick and efficient, making the experience even more enjoyable. The only downside is the parking, which can be a bit of a challenge since the location is on a main road. But despite that, I always find a way to stop by because the cookies and cakes are worth it!"“

“Loved the diffrent variety of cupcakes.“

“The best tasting baklava in all of Chicago area. I’ve tried various places and always come back here from the Western Suburbs to get sweets. And the owner couldn’t be nicer.“

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

“They have great pies but I noticed they charge you fee for using Tock. This is a very bad trend by business, they force the operating fees on their customers!!!! Your products ( while very delicious) are already expensive so to add service fees on top is just not a customer friendly policy. This is why I only get their pies 2 times a year. Stop being lazy and take orders over the phone, instead of putting more of your burdens on your customers backs“

“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!“

“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“

“Loved the vibes. Great eats and staff. Drove three hours to come. Been waiting a long time. Was not disappointed“

“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.“

“Excellent cannolis and baked goods“

“Best eggplant perm sandwich ever!“

“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 !“

“I love this bakery, I only start my day after my chocolate croissant, the people are super nice and always super friendly with me. Tânia is always there when I go there, and she is always very attentive and she always knows what I want!! happy to have a great bakery so close to home. And please try the chocolate croissant, it’s the best one!!!“

“Listen. I never have a picture because I bite into the cookie IMMEDIATELY. LOL, if you want a flat cookie or a cookie that doesn't really give a bang, this isn't the place for you. I love the thickness. Everyone I've had, whew chile..... so good. Lolol, if you're on a regimen, i suggest sharing the cookie right away. Otherwise, baby, you're going to be in trouble that day. ? my 2 favs... coconut caramel chocolate chip & chocolate chip with walnut. Enjoy! Yuuuummmy. Oh, and they come warm. ??????? Thank me later!“

“Our family and I have been ordering my kids birthday cakes from here for years.
It’s always delicious, they’re great service and always kind.
Even when I call in last minute, they accept and accommodate my order.
But most of all super amazing cake presentations.“

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

“deliciosos churros y crujientes.“

“This by far my favorite bakery in the area. Try mooncakes, egg tarts or classic sesame balls. Everything is reasonably priced and they have coffee too! Lady behind the desk is very nice and will always help if you need an idea what to get. Recommending to bring cash to avoid little credit card surcharge as it’s informatively displayed on the counter. Way to lead a business!“

“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.“
