Sweet Moon
Manar Daghash · 355 Google reviewsSweet Moon — one of Ravenswood's strongest bakery spots. Clean, design-forward interior throughout. There's imagination in the cooking here. "And of course, the Napoleon was exceptional as well, with its perfectly crispy layers and creamy filling" — Katherine Melnyk [$$]

“Favorite coffee in Chicago. Just made really well. Has turned into my go to cafe.”
“An exceptional place that is definitely worth revisiting. The food is amazing, and the desserts and teas are simply unbelievable. Everything tastes homemade, fresh, and delicious. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the overall experience was outstanding. Highly recommended!”
“This is hands down one of the best cafés we’ve ever visited in Chicago. We completely fell in love with this place! The food is absolutely incredible — the syrniki with mango sauce were out of this world, and the salmon breakfasts were amazing. Everything we ordered was fresh, beautifully prepared, and genuinely delicious. After our first visit, we decided this would be our daily breakfast spot for the rest of our stay in Chicago. We’re honestly sad to be leaving because we’ll definitely miss this place. The service is outstanding, and everyone here is so friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend this café and wish the entire team continued success. Thank you for making our mornings so special!”
“We found this place through reviews. It wasn’t very convenient for us to get there, but in the end my husband and I decided to go — and we were honestly surprised by how much we loved it. The place is bright, clean, and so cozy. It feels like a real hidden gem, not just a café. We had a wonderful and delicious breakfast — you can immediately tell that every dish is made with care and love. It’s truly refreshing to find places like this in Chicago. My new favorite breakfast dish is the syrniki with mango sauce. Thank you for such a lovely discovery!”
“I have only eaten the dessert but judging by from my table to someone else’s orders I can tell they look so appetizing. I have tried a few items today I am posting what is SO SO amazingly beautiful and yummy. I can tell you is so satisfying and not overwhelmingly sweet, it’s velvety and puffy with the right amount of toasted almonds not overpowering the pistacho spread. You must try it!”
“We were just in the neighborhood and popped in on a rainy day. We delightfully enjoyed their pastries. The triple nut croissant, the honey cake were delicious The seating area was nicely arranged too”
“MOST FAVORITE BRUNCH PLACE! I am glad I don’t live closer as I would spend all my money there on food 😁🤤”
“The Sweet Moon is one of my favorite places in Chicago. The service is always friendly, delicious food and cozy atmosphere🙌🏻 Great selection of Central Asian and European menu, including tea and house-made pastries. The pistachio syrnyky and solyanka soup are the best!”
“This place is imo the best pastry shop in Chicago, and we’ve been to Del Sur, Fat Peach, Gennevieve, etc. The honey cake was soooo good and not sweet at all. Choux, burrata danish, meringue were all amazing as well. The coffee was good, and the only thing we were not really a fan of was the syrniki. But the other items are just too good, will definitely come back to try all their collection”
“Went here for the first time today and it was absolutely incredible. Super fresh, unique and delicious food! Try the sea buckthorn tea! Can’t wait to come back. Thank you Sweet Moon!”
