50 Best Bakeries near Summit

“Loved how our son’s baptism cake turned out! It was delicious.“

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

“The people running this place are delightful, and all of their food is so good it's unreal. I don't even like cake on a good day, but after trying their cup cake (the peanut butter chocolate one), I went back for seconds and thirds.“

“Amazing service and vibe. The chicken pot pie is addicting. My nephew is visiting since my mom had surgery in Rockford. I picked up pot pies the last 3 Saturdays to take to Rockford and they cannot get enough.

Also, I am now officially a grits fan thanks to Bang Bang Pie 😍“

“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.“

“We love everything at Vesuvio. The best freshly frozen pizzas anywhere. Shop local keep family run businesses going ❤️❤️“

“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.“

“Truly lives up to the hype. I've been wanting to try this bakery for a long time since everyone says it has the best tres leches and I've had tres leches from many bakeries but this truly is the best tres leches in Chicago and probably the best I've had. We tried the mango and Oreo ones and the Oreo one was truly delicious! The mango one tasted a little too sweet for me and I wish it had a stronger mango flavor but still really but the Oreo one was incredible! I highly recommend trying that one. The owner was also there and chatted with us and talked about the other flavors as well. Will try those next time we visit!“

“Got there 15 mins before it opened and wasn’t one of the first 30 people in line, that’s when you know this bakery is going to be amazing! When I finally walked the I was greeted by the nice and knowledgeable staff. My savory dish was the bacon brioche and it was phenomenal! Crispy on the outside but soft in the inside. My first sweet bite was the salted caramel brown butter blondie brownie. It was delicious! They even let you choose a center or corner piece. My favorite pastry was the banana pudding croissant, it was even better than I thought it would be. I also got the basque cheesecake which was well prepared but the time I went they had peanut butter on it which I’m not a fan of. But I’m willing to try it again when they have a different flavor. Such a great bakery, will definitely come back.“

“Shout out for the perfect Pastries for my daughter’s shower!“

“it's the best Bakery around..“

“There conchas are always fresh“

“Hidden gem, great food and even greater customer service. Found my new go-to spot. Highly recommend“

“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!“

“Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had Maria and Ashley was very amazing with giving the best experience to customers no matter who you are and the food just as good, the whole team there could be seen giving their all, will definitely come again with friends!!“

“Cada vez que visito Chicago, se que siempre tengo que dar una visita aquí. Hacen el pan tan delicioso y siempre me recuerda a mi linda Guatemala. Ayer pude comprar tamales y chiles rellenos 👌🏽 no decepcionaron. Recomiendo probar el pan dulce y comida de aquí. Muy delicioso y no puedo esperar a mi siguiente visita!“

“Our server was amazing! Had a wonderful time ❤️“

“Broken Tart is honestly one of our favorite coffee spots around Oak Park. The staff is always professional and welcoming, and the whole place just has a great vibe. Their coffee is so delicious,smooth, flavorful, and always consistent. And their pastries are next level. Everything tastes as good as it looks. The inside is cozy and clean, and the outdoor seating is perfect when you want to relax for a bit. Just a great place all around.“

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

“Pan Artesanal slaps every time.“

“How fun! The patio in the back is a little shaded oasis in the big city — where some mosquitoes had a snack as well… the inside decor is kitschy and fun. By the time we got there, they had run out of chicken pot pie… sigh.“

“Yesterday I took the Sourdough Breadmaking Class with Chef George at The Ancestral Oven and I just pulled an amazing loaf of bread out of my home oven 24 hours later! Chef George provided all the necessary instruction and supplies - including a lively starter - for students to start their own sourdough journey at home. The class included hands-on experience feeding the starter, as well as folding and shaping the dough. I had a great time at the class and can't wait to return to try out the breakfast and lunch menu at The Ancestral Oven Bakery and Cafe.“

“Had a Ferrara 9" cake last week at a small 50th birthday celebration. Best layer cake ever experienced in my 77 years!“

“The cookies were perfect and the chai is also good. It’s a nice variety of pastries from traditional to interesting flavors. They also have the most reasonable prices I’ve seen in the city, (like pre-COVID pricing—croissants for example are $5 while other places I’ve visited are $6-10) and no tipping option, which tells me they pay their employees a living wage. It’s also a quiet, cute little oasis. I will definitely be returning.“

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

“Our family absolutely loves Bb's donuts! We do miss being able to go inside the donut shop. So many wonderful memories taking our little girl there to eat donuts and read a book or two. We have a little boy with Autism and it's not safe for him to sit in front by the busy street because he runs. Wish we could go inside to enjoy donuts & coffee knowing it's something our son would truly enjoy.“

“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.“

“We’re so fortunate to have this gem of a local bakery nearby. My celiac daughter loves that she can eat ANYTHING from here. I’m not GF, and I think everything is delicious too. We love Sweet Ali’s!“

“Thank you soo much for making my son's first birthday cake so special! The cake was so beautiful & tasted absolutely delicious. It was very moist! The flavor was vanilla with layers of buttercup & cream cheese frosting. Everyone at the party took extra slices home, we had no left over cake, that's how good it was.“

“Delicious baked goods. Highly recommend!“

“The cookies are amazing as always! Staff can try to be a little more friendlier they give the factory worker feel (hot miserable & not trying to be there). Doesn’t feel welcoming but thankfully I’m not there for them 🤪 there for the cookiesss but a lil customer service goes a long way & if that’s too much try smiling it’s contagious! 😊“

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

“they always have delicious Mexican bread100% very nice people that work there....come and see for yourself🙋“

“We walked past this spot on our way to the book store. My son spotted it right away and insisted we stop. I got a chocolate chip cookie and it was amazing. I was surprised by how soft and tasty the cookie was.

Overall, a great spot to get a tasty cookie treat.“

“We stopped in for a quick treat with family before they closed, the treats are delicious and fresh! Employees are super friendly and kind.“

“This bakery has been the staple for my family growing up in Hermosa. The sandwiches are SO GOOD. They dont skimp on ingredients. Skip on subway across the street and support this bakery instead lol. Their bread is also yummy and they have a variety! Staff is always approachable and kind :)“

“Stopped in to give myself a birthday treat. Everything is so fresh and delicious It was hard to choose. I of curse had to have my lemon fluff cupcake, a pastry and who could say no to an apple slice. But the true treats are the lovely and kind ladies working the counter. I truly feel it’s not just because I patronize Wolf’s bakery - but they are genuinely kind and make you feel welcome. I love this bakery’s products and its staff. Happy Holidays!!“

“I recently reached out to Mindy's for a birthday cake for my sisters birthday. The process was incredibly smooth to get my order in and confirmed. The woman who replied to my email request was kind, understanding and knowledgeable as she walked me through the whole process. They were clear up front about not doing heavy design work but since it's Mindy's, everything is always so good that I was here for the flavors not necessarily design. Then they suggested fresh flowers to lift the cake up and admittedly I had no idea how it would turn out. Well let me tell you all, this was the prettiest, best tasting cake I've ever had before. People stopped me as I was walking out with it to admire it. The people at the restaurant we hosted the party at wanted to know where it was from. Cakes are honestly such a center piece of a party and this cake did not disappoint. Mindy and her team are some of the best, most talented people around. Come support this shop whether it's for a bagel or a custom cake. Thank you, Mindy. Thank you Mindy's team!!“

“Hallie at Sweet Shot is the best!! She was very quick to respond to my inquiry, and excellent at accommodating! I ordered cookies for my brother and sister in law, and she took great care of them. They absolutely LOVED the cookies! Great quality and great service!! I live three hours away, but follow Sweet Shot on social media, and my mouth waters everytime I view their posts. I can’t wait for my next visit to Chicago so I can’t try theses delish treats!!“

“You know why I frequent Alwatan Bakery? Insha’Allah “God wills it” Their halal food is the best, I go there frequently for breakfast. I wouldn’t give that McDonald’s crap, or any other fast food to an abandoned starving stray dog on the street.“

“Their bread, pastries, and cakes are out of this world. The flavors they’re able to deliver without too much sweetness is a refreshing change in a bakery. I go as often as I can.“

“I just want to say this! Sharon is amazing! First time coming here! So nice and caring. I appreciate this place. Delicious Donuts and Coffee.“

“Schweet delivered the most delicious cheesecakes for my mother's memorial service. Friendly people providing an incredible product at a very reasonable price. We can't recommend them highly enough!“

“Delicious Mediterranean desserts and homemade ice cream! large ,clean and spacious room to sit down and enjoy your desserts 🍨 very friendly staff ❤️❤️❤️“

“The food is just incredible! I am speechless“

“This bakery literally saved my party this weekend. I had a different baker cancel on me last minute, and I really needed a cake for my son’s birthday. I called them and told them my situation, and the person on the line, was not only nice, but also very accommodating to my situation. They were able to make the cake and it was delicious and looked great! Thank you so much!“

“I stopped in to see what was available. Bought a variety of cupcakes. They were delicious. I have to go back and get some cheesecake ❤️“

“Love love love your cookies! I couldn’t pick which one to get at the farmer’s market. Ultimately, I decided on the matcha, white chocolate cookie (I think that was the flavor), and it was absolutely delicious! I look forward to stopping by at the shop sometime this summer and try the rest of the menu. Do yourself a favor: skip crumbl and come here instead :)“

“My daughter ordered a nut free wedding cake for herself, nut free and gluten free cookies and cupcakes for special guests! Everything was delicious and much appreciated from the gf and nut free guests.“

“Cake made our wedding cake dreams come true! It was absolutely delicious. She is wonderful to work with and flexible to help you out! Will always recommend!“
