Très bonne pâtisserie. J'ai adoré le gâteau à la noix de coco. Les produits sont frais et le shop est très sympa

Excellent pastries and coffee! 🥐☕️ Best things we tried were the pistachio chocolate croissant (must-try), banana chocolate chip coffee cake (must-try), chocolate croissant, egg ricotta brioche, and the ham and cheese croissant! I also love the vibe of the cafe - very colorful and cute, and they have great books to peruse and unique greeting cards

We had a lovely experience working with their team! They bought some of our 2 Tone Ombre Orange Birthday Number Candles.

Go EARLY! We came around 11:00a on a Sunday- very small selection left- We had quiche and a ham and cheese croissant 🥐- vanilla soy latte was amazing 🤩 The cards, books and vintage small pieces are so unique. Next time I’m coming to browse!

So happy my husband found bake Chicago!! After calling around a few places, bake Chicago was the most helpful, friendliest, and with short notice was able to make our gender reveal cake by the weekend! Not only did they make an absolutely beautiful cake, it was so delicious! So happy , thank you again bake Chicago! Definitely found our new bakery for future occasions

We were drawn in by the homemade popsicles sign and unprepared to be totally charmed by this lovely spot! Hilarious cards, beautiful homemade and second-hand homegoods, and delicious pastries kept us here long after our popsicles were gone (and they were delicious!)

I'm so glad I found Bake! We ordered the confetti cake for my son's birthday party and the entire party raved about how delicious it was. We'll be ordering from Bake going forward! Also love all the sweet decor and gift options.

We ordered a cake for my daughter’s graduation not knowing anything about the bakery. We were so impressed with the service, communication, presentation and TASTE of this delicious cake! We did the raspberry chocolate cake. It was beautiful and scrumptious! Would highly recommend BAKE!

I visit Bake often for their delicious bakery items, but I also purchased a half sheet marble cake for a wedding rehearsal dinner and it was so delicious! All of our guests raved about the cake and asked where we got it. I highly recommend a cake from here in addition to just strolling in for breakfast!

Bake has been open for 15 years, which is a major accomplishment. The pastry chefs here are the real deal: Big Time from NYC/San Diego. They serve super special, delicious items. Sweet and savory. Fill a box with treasures and bring to your next thing. Get in here.
