Amazing baked goods, amazing owners, very fun seasonal options and surprises in the fridge! Can’t wait for them to be open more often.

I stopped in to grab a quick snack for breakfast this morning. Upon walking in I was just struck by the very cuteness of it all, the vibes were immaculate (as the kids say?). I ordered a coffee and a butter croissant. I LOVE a croissant, and always have high hopes - but more often than not I'm let down by an underwhelming bite. So, imagine my delight as I bit into the flakiest, most wonderfully textured pastry I've had in a very long time. The outside was crispy, virtually exploding like a tree struck by lightening (evidence provided of my shirt post-snack), and the inside was soft and perfectly chewy. It was a great way to start the day!

First time visiting this bakery and they were so welcoming like a warm hug and so loving. I was so indecisive but I AM SUPER GLAD I GOT THE CHOCOLATE TART. IT'S SO SO SO GOOD. FEELS LIKE I'M EATING SILK OMG. And the staff that was taking my order was so patient and she handed me the cookie which was my option #2. Thank you so much ?. Will be back with my family/friends for sure!

This place is just down the street from me so I make a point to walk down there every Thursday with my dog. Food is incredible and the staff is friendly and helpful. They even offered to stay with my dog outside so I could come in and make a purchase. My recommendation is to come closer to when they open than when they close because they will sell out of the heavy hitters, and maybe check their social media before making a special trip because they have been closed on holiday weekends in the past.

This bakery is my absolute favorite in the city, I can’t find another pastry that comes anywhere near close to as good as these. The fridge and marketplace are so adorable - fresh pasta & flowers & dips & more! I’m ready to come back every week.

Maybe their product is good. I wouldn't know because I came by twice once at 11 on a Saturday and 11:30 on a Friday. Both times they were completely sold out. I realize it's a new business but one of the basic things any business should provide is an available product. If I walked in 15 minutes before they closed selling out would be fair but this is just a failure as far as I am concerned.

We’ve made it a tradition to come here every Saturday! They serve the best danishes, cinnamon rolls, and croissants I’ve ever had. Very unique and imaginative menu, and very fresh ingredients. They sell out within a few hours so get there right when they open. Staff is always very kind, it’s the best part of my weekend.
Vegetarian options: Very rarely is there meat in their bakery
Dietary restrictions: Many options are vegetarian
Parking: Park in front or on side streets
Kid-friendliness: There’s always kids with their family there, there’s cookies and juice to buy
Wheelchair accessibility: There aren’t any stairs, all ramps to go in

Wonderful little bakery in Oak Park! It’s close enough to walk to, and it’s super cute. The pastries are really good. They have vegan and gluten free options almost always. The Orange Almond plus cake is so good and vegan!! They also have snacks, oils, dips, and refrigerated items for sale. The vibe is so cute and the employees are so kind. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but the baked goods are so worth it.
Vegetarian options: Most of the pastries and baked goods are vegetarian, save for if they have a meat and or hot dog pasty.
Dietary restrictions: Mostly vegetarian pastries, with a few gluten free and a few vegan baked goods.
Such a beautiful bakery, amazing baked goods and just the most lovely experience

Showed up shortly after they opened to a long line around the corner!! The baked goods options were impressive. The hot dog danish was so creative and amazingly executed. Goat cheese tomato savory galette was one of my favorite bites. This is a must go spot!!

Forest Bakery is amazing! You can’t just order one pastry because they are all SO GOOD!! The cardamom roll is off the charts. They even laughed at my chocolate chip cookie story. Come early or they will be sold out.

Hidden gem with delicious pastries. I had the scone sandwich and the pistachio croissant which blew my mind. The only downside is they aren’t open enough!!! I need you through the week too lol.

What are you doing? Stop it and go to Forest Bakery. Just go because it's good, and you probably want something. It's so good. Just go. Get the cardamom roll. Go get it.
