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.

Just drank my latte! Wanted to give the employee with the pink hair shout out (sorry about not naming them)! I came in for baked goods and this person respectfully up sold me on a coffee ☕ Amazing latte. This person impressed me because they were so fast and efficient (able to help more than one guest). Oak Park you have another gem! Next time, if I come again, I will make a point of bringing cash to give the employees a direct tip :-)

Too bad this place isn't closer! The Chai tea was perfect. I like mine extra hot and that is how it was served. Great flavor and great choices of pastries.

The olive oil cake was really good, the chai though tasted like iced milk with chai essence

Take a normal coffee shop/bakery. Add obsession about details. Make everything good. Major downside is that I can’t try everything every visit.

Small bakery serving coffee, tea and smoothies in addition to the baked goods. They usually have a few GF options and offer sweet and savory treats. It's busy weekend mornings and indoor seating is limited but highly recommended and worth the short wait.

This place is phenomenal. Pastries are out of this world (birthday cookie and olive oil cake are my favs) and they make a very good latte/cappuccino.
Lines can be long during the morning/lunch rush due to demand — the staff works incredibly hard so no knock on them though.
Hours are also short and I wish they’d open earlier (8am-3pm means I have to go during working hours) but that’s probably a good thing for my wallet and waistline.
Worth it! Probably go once a week.

Happened to stop in randomly and I am glad that I did. The coffee was perfect, just the right amount of caffeine and flavoring and paired it with a very fresh banana chocolate chip muffin. Very please and will be back!
Went about 9 am. Waited a little but definitely worth it. We had a sweet corn bread biscuit and a savory one. We also got a chocolate chip cookie it had salt on top omg heaven. And an Americano and a mocha.

We love coming here every time we visit the area. The ricotta chip cake is out of this world. I can't come to the area without getting this at least once, if not more. I've sampled several cakes as well as their scones. The scones are amazing as well. I've never had anything here I didn't like. Highly recommend. Staff is friendly and it's a nice treat to start the day with.
