50 Best Bakeries near Wilmette

“Everything is so delicious and healthy! I recommend the beet humus and crackers and the pb&j power balls!“

“A marvelous small pastry and coffee shop with a great variety of organic sweet treats! Love it! 😍. Nuns speak french and a little bit of English. All cakes look amazing and those I tried are to die for. Amazing fresh baked French bread and specialty crafted wine selection (buy for home only). Calm classical music adds the final touch to make your morning or afternoon coffee a remembering experience. I only would like to see some loose leaf tees on the menu. I strongly recommend visiting this place.“

“I arrived to pick up my online order of 2 Ruebens and one mint milkshake for my mother's 80th birthday! Low and behold, there was a mistake and it had been taken with another online order by mistake. They graciously paid for my children's slices of pizza while we waited and then refunded the entire order. They went above and beyond and we weren't expecting that. Anticipating needs, attention to detail and gracious with the mistake that can happen. Can't wait to return. I had heard they had the best Reubens you have EVER had and my mother agreed. Thank you for such incredible customer service.“

“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.“

“I love to come here on a day off and get my High lemonade and a pastry roll (cupcake, cookie, slice of cake). The people there are amazing, kind, super chill & best of all welcoming!:) Although the place is small, it’s still a great place to visit + their cute duck collection!“

“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!“

“Amazing tasting cookies and cupcakes and gluten free 🙌 it was so great to have so many choices for once!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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💯“

“The bread is out of this world. My personal favorite is the seeded. The pastries are also very good. What a treasure.“

“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.“

“best service! And delicious chocolate pie!“

“Loved the diffrent variety of cupcakes.“

“we had our wedding cake made by this bakery. and it was amazing from the design to the taste.“

“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“

“Excellent cannolis and baked goods“

“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.“

“Food is always fantastic. The avocado toast, the breakfast burritos, and the lunch paninis are bangers, not to mention the brownies (we always grab one to-go).

The owner and employees are all very sweet and the space is vibrant—in the summer the full windows open and it's just a really pleasant spot to grab breakfast or lunch. Would love to see more authentic, small places like this open up and thrive in the North Shore.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I love this bakery! I first came on the Flavors of Albany Park tour and have returned since for wonderful baked goods. The owners are so friendly and generous. I got the peanut cream pastry, red bean cream bun, and a green tea cake. They gave me a corn cake to try as well which was so kind! Everything they make is light, perfectly sweet, and so good.

FYI they only accept cash or Zelle for payment.“

“I recently was looking to have our wedding cake recreated as a surprise for our anniversary. Our wedding cake was specific to Europe/Ireland and seems to be hard to come by in the states. After contacting several bakeries, none were willing to attempt it. I finally got in contact with James. The result blew us away. The cake was not only beautiful, it tasted amazing! James and his team were incredible to work with. I recommend using him if you are ever looking for beautiful and delicious cakes or have specific requests. We will definitely be using Sugar Daddy in the future!“

“Churros at their finest! Had the churro that was like a smore, it was delicious!“

“There cakes and delicious Italian desserts yummy !“

“Very nice, very friendly store with a great selection of bundt cakes in various sizes. Go and enjoy, you deserve it...“

“David does it again! He meticulously crafted my birthday cake -- I was SO happy with it. I gave him inspo for color and design and he took the reigns from there. The cake visually hit exactly what I was looking for. Bravo! Oh btw, the cake tasted great! I love a good carrot cake. His was moist, not heavy, and not too sweet -- perfection!“

“It is one of the best Arab stores that I visit regularly. Everything you need is available and their prices are reasonable. They have Saudi products such as dates and dates, which are of good quality. I advise you to try their fresh baked goods and pastries. I always take from you manakish, thyme, cheese, and spinach fatayer. Very delicious ??“

“We love these cookies! The chocolate chip is always a family favorite but we like the fun of the variety too. Curbside or delivery service are a huge plus!

Vegetarian options: Dessert!

Parking: Huge lot. Dedicated spots for curbside service.

Kid-friendliness: Nowhere to eat inside. But the flavors are always exciting for the kids. Especially the extras like shark gummies.“

“Amazing authentic delicious Italian pastries. I am from Florida, I stopped on my way to the airport. Florida does not have any Italian pastry shops. I could not believe the low prices“

“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.“

“Incredible shop! The people are kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. They make sure you're happy with everything, and the place is extremely beautiful as well. The stock is incredible and very visually intuitive. I'm so happy to have found this place with these awesome humans and will definitely be back!“

“These bagels are amazing!! My friend brought me some when she visited in Alaska, and now I'm rationing them every day so they last longer! 💕🥯💕“

“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“

“Adoro sus pasteles y sus chicos muy amables“

“I had such a lovely surprise and delight visiting Macaron Bar for the first time. Such a cute spot. I had to try the coconut and pistachio macarons! The coconut was spectacular!!! What a beautiful balance of flavors. This place is a 10000/10. You have to stop by a grab a box and try every single flavor!“

“I am well versed in food, and I truly love breakfast food. Planning our visit to Chicago was going to include a place to eat, and the decision settled with A Taste Of Heaven. I am so glad that we made that choice. The wait time was very acceptable for a late Sunday morning stop, and the staff were all welcoming, inviting, and graciously warm. On top of a perfect interaction and beautiful decor, the food was PERFECT!!! That is hands down the best plate of biscuits and gravy I've ever eaten. The other food at the table that I sampled didn't disappoint either. Carmel Apple French Toast with fresh whipped cream. Corned Beef and Hash. I will 100% be back, and will continue too recommend this to everyone.“

“Super! I stopped while on a walk. Huge selection and great coffee. I’ll be back.“

“This place is amazing! We had to get
a couple cakes for some family birthday parties, and one very special unicorn cake for my toddler’s birthday. I walked in, described what I was looking for, and every cake I ordered turned out so much better than I could have imagined! The cakes were all absolutely beautiful and DELICIOUS! Kids and adults alike kept raving about them - and the process couldn’t have been easier. This baker is a gem to work with and he makes some very good baked goods. Wouldn’t think twice about going back, and recommended it to everyone at the party. Plus, he’s less than half the cost of some of these “designer” bakers out there - and it was SUCH a beautiful cake!!

Try the donuts and coffee cake while you’re there - also a huge hit in our household!“

“Wonder French pastries and the best chicken and mushroom quiche“

“Highly recommend - I'm a picky eater and I pay attention to hygiene in a food store - the pastries were super-fresh and delicious“

“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“

“I recently visited this spot and tried the Nova Lox Bagel. While the bagel itself was fresh and well-toasted, the salmon was a letdown. Nova lox is typically known for being less salty than regular smoked salmon, but in this case, it was overly salty and overwhelmed the other flavors. The toppings, like cream cheese, capers, and onions, were well-balanced, but the saltiness of the salmon really detracted from the overall experience.

I also decided to try the apricot cookie, but that turned out to be a mistake. I was surprised to learn it cost nearly $5—far more than I expected for a single cookie. Unfortunately, the taste was disappointing; it was so unpalatable that I couldn’t even finish it. The texture was dense and off-putting, and the apricot flavor was barely there. It felt like a waste of money, and I left feeling dissatisfied.

The prices were reasonable for the bagel, but the quality didn’t fully match my expectations. As for the cookie, it was overpriced and not worth trying again. Overall, a mixed experience—there’s potential, but the execution fell short.“

“I ordered cake for my wife's 50th birthday party. We received so many compliments. The cake was delicious and a work of art. I also had some other desserts from there and they were amazing, too. The staff was also very nice. We highly recommend Delightful Pastries.“
