5 Best Bakeries near Franklin Park

“Have driven by many a time, finally decided to pop in and see if they're open to the public. They're a cash business from there Front Bakery side. Old World charm! Mrs Tina & Mrs Amy are just wonderful as a Team! Ordered some various Italian breads. The smell's made me hungry & reminded me of the old Italian Bakery's on Grand Ave (just before Ogden Avenue). My new go to spot to pick up any baked goods...The Italian Way! Mangia & Smacznego!!! Ciao!“

“Pay attention to the ambiance of your bakery. Creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere can enhance the overall dining experience, encouraging customers to spend more time in your establishment and potentially increasing their spending.“

“The taste is definitely there.Selection is really limited if looking for lunch options.Unfortunately, the Veggie or Michele Special Sandwich I ordered, only had a few pieces of cheese and deli meat. The bread tasted very very fresh. I know we say quality over quantity but please fill up the sandwiches! I would love to go back if so. Thank you!“

“Discovered a hidden gem at a small Polish grocery store – their lunch salad was a delightful surprise. Freshness and flavor were at the forefront, showcasing the quality of ingredients. The variety of Polish specialties added a unique twist to the salad. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff made the experience even more enjoyable. A must-try for those craving a taste of authentic Polish goodness in a casual setting. #PolishGrocery #FreshFlavors #HiddenGem #SaladDelight #LocalEats“

“Best Rosca De Reyes I've bought.The chapurrado did taste, literally, like sweet water (and not with a thick consistency).The tamales were supposed to be red pork and green chicken but they were just a bit too greasy for my taste. The green ones had more of a redish/greenish color. Not the typical green I'm used to getting from the Melrose Park or Cicero location (idk if they're run by different owners). It was also giving a hit of sweet corn tamales (not sure if it was because of the leafs)...I wasn't a fan of it. I gotta say, the portion sizes were a bit bigger than the other locations.The place was very clean, full of goodies (large variety), and I was greeted as soon as I walked in. The crew appeared to be working great. Great team effort. I would definitely consider going back.“
