“The cake was beautiful, and the most delicious wedding cake I ever tried”
“Irene is AMAZING.”
Irene is AMAZING. We went to her after she baked a delicious Tres leches for my birthday, and wanted to see if she could do a cake for our wedding. Irene made this process so much fun!! She brainstormed with us, shared a few ideas, and in the end, made a cake EXACTLY how we wanted. The cake was beautiful, and the most delicious wedding cake I ever tried. More important than her unquestionable abilities, it is how much she cares about her clients, community, and people. Irene became our friend, and we will never buy cake from anyone else!

“Irene is such a great person.”
Irene is such a great person. It was my first time ordering from them for my son’s baptism. She gave me so many advices on what should I do and what I shouldn’t. She spent so long time showing me pictures and designs. I ended up getting the same exact design I was looking for. The taste was delicious and all guests loved it. Definitely recommended

24 hour bakery in Chicago, fresh everything everyday! Bread croissant with Jalepeno is a nice snack! Friendly staff, pick your own and put the biscuit in the basket!

“Markellos is my favorite place in Chicago.”
Markellos is my favorite place in Chicago! You cannot go wrong with anything in Markellos. Cheese danishes are amazing, the fresh bread comes out every 15 minutes and they're perfect for sandwiches, muffins are soft and light, and there's too much to choose from (which no one ever can complain about). Everything is fresh and hot and it's cheap! You will be lucky to have any pastries left by the time you get home. I highly recommend this place for anyone whether it's 5am or 5pm!

“Lawrence and Drake.”
Lawrence and Drake. Nice parking lot. Typical bakery offerings. Items look great but I was underwhelmed by flavor. Fillings for pastries were ok but the fruit fillings were good. Reasonable prices and 24 hours.

“I thought this place was 24 hrs like it says on the webpage and the sign outside of the bake shop.”
I thought this place was 24 hrs like it says on the webpage and the sign outside of the bake shop. I ordered a cake online and went to go pick it up but no one answered. I’ve been calling and calling and calling and nothing. Went and knocked on the door multiple times and no one answered. I’m pregnant and was craving this and even paid online but still no answer. Btw the pick up was supposed to be at :310am.

“This is my favorite bakery for sweet pastries in Albany Park, and they have a very wide selection to choose from.”
This is my favorite bakery for sweet pastries in Albany Park, and they have a very wide selection to choose from. But also their savory pastries are wonderful and worth coming for on their own. The staff are always kind and considerate no matter how busy it is. I'm glad to have a bakery nearby that's open late since I'm a night owl. But I'm going to try to make it early one of these days for some of the savory treats that they evidently run out of very fast.
