Bakeries near Bedford Park

“They cleaned it up.. are moving aisles around and put in self check out lanes. It was a great experience I have never had there. beautiful produce aisle now; bakery and meats all better accessible; clean aisles; no line out the door waiting to get checked out. I was in and out in 15 minutes. Now that is the Walmart I used to know! They had a great guy directing you to available registers to check out. Bags organized ans stocked at check outs..clean scanners..I thought I was in heaven Now if you could just ban people who come in there reeking of weed we would be perfect.“

“We stumbled upon an incredible pizza company at Off Color Brewing. Four large squares of pizza, mix and match, boasting a variety of flavors that left us super impressed. As newcomers to the area from the Pacific Northwest, we've been eager to explore different styles of pizza, including deep dish and more. This particular pizza experience stood out as one of the best we've encountered so far! Not only is it reasonably priced, but the fun and inventive flavors, like cacio e pepper, added an exciting twist we hadn't tried before. The leftover slices even made for a perfect Sunday breakfast. We can't recommend it enough!“

“Love Kasama! I’ve been back each time I visit the city and the breakfast is banging. I know the sandwich + hash-brown is iconic and a must try but their other food is equally as delicious. Would highly recommend ordering online to skip the line if you don’t plan to eat inside.“

“Just incredible. There are no words for how impressive this bakery is. The owner is an absolute angel, the desserts are insanely delicious and the aesthetic is perfect. This is my go to for any special occasions. I even have non vegan friends/family that request Pie Pie for their birthdays. I cannot recommend supporting this business enough. My personal favorite flavors are banana split, chocolate strawberry, and nutter butter.“

“Always incredible - one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the city (I get the pablano/veggie and add sausage ? - which was a staff suggestion). Everyone who works there is friendly and engaging! If they had a yearbook, I would write, "have a cool summer - don't ever change".“

“I am sure that you will love to hear the story behind what is today La Malinche Coffee and Tea. And I think it's important to support local small businesses. BTW.. The apple Brie is my favorite panini there.. sweet and salty at the same time.“

“We just visited the brand new Wicker Park location on Pierce around the corner from the Damen Blue Line stop. The pastries we tried (pistachio croissant and various biscotti) were incredible. The staff and owner Ciro were so welcoming in their new beautiful establishment. So many delicious authentic Italian options to choose from!“

“Panaderia paradise is what this place is. If I weren't so happy with them, I would be angry that they've set the bar for panaderías so high that now I would pass on ones that are closer to me just to make the trip here. For me this really is worth going out of my way for. My go to has been rebanada de mantequilla, buñuelos and of course churros, exceptionally good churros. How good? Well, I had one cold the next day and it was still crispy and delicious, so I can only imagine how good it would be to get this fresh at the bakery, or if I were less lazy and gluttonous and heated it back up in the oven myself. The place itself is very clean and everyone working there was quite friendly and polite. Not surprisingly it gets a little bit busy in this small place, but it is worth it to sample the dizzying array of baked goods here. Fantastic panaderia and I am both happy and sad they are not right next door to me, because if they were, I would be here all the time.“

“One of the best meals we've ever had! We had the shrimp salad, Goat empanadas, green beans, Pig face and the crabby bbq pork belly. We also had the coconut dessert and the plantain tres leches. Everything was delicious.The standout for us was the Crabby bbq pork belly! Apparently its a new menu item and it was fantastic!Service was great, the timing of the courses was perfect and our server was very attentive.“

“Honestly can’t say enough good things about Kristoffers. They made my wedding cake and I only get their tres leches for my birthday every year. It’s so so soft and delicious with the perfect amount of sweetness in each bite. I really like the coconut tres leches but my personal favorite is just the regular one. Really enjoy the Chocoflan, regular flan, house salad, and their pastries are always fresh! But if you’re in the area you MUST stop by for a sliceAlso highly highly recommend their lemonade, my mouth is watering just thinking of it right now. The owners are such a kind, sweet couple who make great conversation and always make you feel welcome.Parking: free street parking off to the side if you’re fast enough“

“We recently celebrated my daughter’s Sweet 16 birthday party. We needed a cake large enough to feed about 150 people and was able to work with Weber’s on the design we wanted within a short time frame, since the previous person we were working with cancelled a month away from the party. Overall we had a great experience from ordering to delivery!“

“I was visiting Ukrainian village from out of state . Naturally, being of Ukrainian ancestry , I wanted to taste delicious authentic foods! Was not disappointed. Delicious borscht with soft fluffy knot rolls, varenyky with cabbage, A pleasant urban gem !“

“This was a hidden gem to me. It is a great sunlit spot for everyone in the village. This felt welcoming and warm. Let me tell you about the coffee, spectacular. I felt like I was back in Paris! The only draw back is too many choices and all delicious. Plus the staff knows they are the best…thanks Kelsey (who is my new bestie ?) for the info about everything being good, you were right!!“

“Amazing customer service, and delicious treats ! I had a corporate event, and we wanted some light sweets for the occasion. The owner of the establishment walked me through all things offered and explained the process, and I haven’t been this satisfied in a long time with any whole sale establishment. I highly recommend for any type of parties, corporate events, or even just for you and your family! Will be connecting again soon.“

“Stopped by today with a few friends and split a handful of thing.I only have 5 stars because 15 stars wasn’t an option.I’ve eaten many pastries in my life, and I must say that their cheddar scallion biscuit might be the best one gluten items I’ve ever had. My lord. My friends and I are leaving our church to praise at the alter of that delicious treat.Then came the banana bread. I used to tell my mom that hers was the best, but that’s now a lie. loved their take on banana bread. While slightly drier than some I’ve had, I thought the overall composition and flavor of it was excellent. A must try.Next, they currently have an onion and Gruyère danish….. I don’t believe I telling people how to live their lives, but if you aren’t eating that daily, your life is incomplete and full of sorrow. Go there now. Eat it. You’re welcome.Finally came the croissants. We tried the pb and chocolate and the ham and cheese. I could definitely appreciate the flavor, but they were crispier than what I typically preference. Still, my friend who likes them that way thought it was divine.Ok. Go to Aya now.“

“I recently tried this place because I was told that the tres leches cake from here was SO good, they weren’t wrong! My whole family loved it and finished the leftovers the next day (we usually don’t finish cake leftovers till days later)! We ordered the vanilla tres leches and it was the perfect amount of moisture and sweetness, it did not disappoint! DEFINITELY recommend!“

“I am a Puerto Rican muslim who has been searching for a halal Spanish restaurant from NJ, CHI, PR, and Fl and could not find one! Until I stumbled across Sazones. I initially thought this was too good to be true and that I was going to be disappointed, and I was WRONG. Although they did not have my favorite Pollo giusado, their rotisserie chicken, steak, sweet plantains, tostones and my favorite alcapurria made up for it.“

“We came in on a Saturday afternoon. There was no line. We ordered 4 slices: cheese, veggie, supreme, and pepperoni, a cup of their chicken tortellini soup, a cannoli, and a custard filled pastry. The chicken tortellini soup was amazing. It tasted like some homemade chicken noodle soup. The supreme pizza was very flavorful. I appreciated that it had the right amount of sausage. The veggie pizza was delicious, it was nice and crispy and the veggies were not soggy. The cheese pizza was good too. While we waited for our pizza to be warmed we noticed the line was long. By the time we finished our food in their outside patio, the line was out the door. I would definitely come back to try the chicken parm.“

“Im slowly compiling a list of what I do and don’t like. Here are my opinionsLove:-match pie (light match flavor and consistency is creme brûlée)-biscuits and gravy (gravy is so good and biscuits are buttery and flaky)Okay flavors-coconut cream (not much coconut?)-chocolate cream (tastes like chocolate pudding in a pie crust with whipped cream on top)“

“Delicious cookies! My favorite is chocolate chip! Staff is super friendly and the place looks super clean. Recommend 100%.Parking: There is plenty of parking spaces.Kid-friendliness: Kids can actually see the staff baking and packaging the cookies.Wheelchair accessibility: The store is spacious for wheelchair.“

“The space is small. If there's over 7 or 8 people in line or waiting for orders, you begin to feel a little cramped. The space was clean. The menu is pretty simple. I like that they have visuals of their products in little cases by the register. Pricing is a bit on the higher end. I spent almost $18 for 3 items.I opted for a cinnamon butter brioche, a 2 chip chocolate chip cookie, and the lemon cookie. The brioche was good, nice and fluffy, not too sweet. However, the flavor of the cinnamon was very underwhelming and almost too light. The bread is very thick, and if you bite into it without pulling the 2 pieces apart, you barely taste the cinnamon. I figured out that pulling the 2 sides apart was the best way to eat the bun so I could taste the cinnamon. There's also not much of the cinnamon butter on the inside. I wouldn't buy it again.The cookies are VERY dense. 1 cookie is more than enough for 3-4 people. You literally only need a piece of the cookie. The chocolate chip was ok. Not too sweet, plenty of chocolate chips, crispy on the edges and bottom, but very soft and cakey on the inside. I think it needs a pinch of flaky salt to really set off the flavor. I'd buy again. The lemon cookie stole the show! It was absolutely amazing. The base of the cookie smells like a sugar or butter cookie, and there's a lemon filling inside. OMG! I'd go back over and over again for that lemon cookie. It was served warm, and it was just perfect. I wouldn't take anything away or add anything.I'll be back before the spring is over for the lemon cookie and to try the other treats.Parking: Spaces are few and far between. Randolph is a very bury, high traffic street, especially when the weather is nice.“

“I chose to venture to Ground Up Coffee & Bites based off one of my local free s’s recommendations and I was not disappointed! They have seating both along the window and at the coffee bar, it was the perfect temperature inside, they have free WiFi for customers, and I always appreciate a healthy looking coffee shop plant.The cashier let me know that the three different sizes have different amounts of espresso; small has 1.5 shots, medium (16oz) has 2 shots, and large has 3 shots.For the espresso, I recommend ordering it with Half-Light so that you get the light roasted espresso beans. It makes a smooth and balanced hot oat milk latte that you’re sure to enjoy when it’s cold outside, and it was my perfect companion for my chilly walk back. The Half-Light is their Pure Gold Espresso Roast; an inviting front, smooth mouthfeel, with a subtle zesty finish to seal the deal. A broad, balanced, and deep cup with a rich, nut-milk body and riesling acidity. Base tasting notes of black cherry-chocolate mousse are complemented with honey and almond for a blancmange finish. You can also just simply order any espresso-based drink with the light roast and the staff will know what you are looking for. It’s a little extra for oat milk and the light roast, but it’s worth it.The barista Osama was hilarious and made a perfectly balanced oat latte. He truly made me feel welcome and seemed so genuinely grateful that I chose to purchase today’s coffee there; his hospitality makes me want to return again and again.The theme is black and shiny gold, being the colors the walls are painted to the custom retail bags. I enjoyed the motivation printed on the back side of the retail coffee bag displayed, which read:Remember why.Why you filled your tank on the way home.Why you picked your outfit and prepared lunch the night before.Remember why.Your why is an unparalleled standard and how you go about your pursuit should be no different.Rise & Grind's why is how you fuel yours.Truly crafted for purpose.A lively beginning, peppy core, and natural urbane demeanor.Just like you.“

“My favorite Mochinut so far!!!! ?They're eager to help you and if you're indecisive like me then that's a huge help!!!! I wnjoyed the recommendations and so far they're my new FAVORITE items!!!!!! The Ube Donut and Hot Cheetos with Beef Sausage and Cheese with avocado sauce are what I got and really enjoyed!“

“We needed a last minute cake for our gender reveal, and we found Charlene & MayMay on Instagram. We definitely got our money’s worth with the Cake, cupcakes & cakesicles. The amount of detail they put into our cake is beyond words! The cake and sides were a huge hit, everyone raved how delicious, moist and creamy they were. They accommodated us last minute too, which was a huge relief and very much appreciated. They’re super friendly, and the sweetest. They respond quickly and want to make sure they bring your dream cake to life. I showed them a picture of how I wanted the cake, and they made it even better than I was expecting! They offered/suggested ideas on what would look better such as color, detail & any extras for the cake and let me say, they definitely know what they’re talking about. I completely trust them and will go back for my baby shower cake! ❤️ My boyfriend was super amazed at how amazing everything came out. We definitely recommend Coco&Eve Cakes for your next event!“

“Big Fat Cookie is amazing! Not only are the cookies delicious but the people who work there are so kind. I needed cookies delivered as a gift to some folks and wanted a hand written note. I reached out to their team and they helped me achieve exactly what I wanted. I love their product so much!“

“Entering the establishment the smells are so over powering i loved it, I was welcomed by Steven. Such a nice person very helpful as well. Gave me a sample of some cookie dough, was over all very helpful, i was surprised to find out that they were dairy free and vegetarian but tasted amazing regardless. Would definitely go back and try more options.Vegetarian options: For not being a vegetarian i highly enjoyed the rolls but don’t forget to purchase a drink.“

“Very welcoming bakery with amazing breads, home made snacks, focaccia, pastries, donuts, packaged speciality italian products and much more. Highly recommend stopping by try for yourself!!Parking: A Parking lot to pull into and lots of spaces very close to entrance.“

“Super delicious; super nostalgic; loved it. Haven't had a good churro since I went vegan 8 years ago. The day I went on a Sunday around 12pm they only had strawberry and plain at the time. They do open at 6am so they may have had more options earlier, but I'm not sure. But this was perfect for me because strawberry has always been my fave. I loved how fresh and sweet the filling was, and how soft the churro was to bite into.“

“The Hong Kong milk tea was delicious! Had to stop myself from finishing it too quickly! 10/10 recommend! The curry chicken bun had a phenomenal flavor and the bun itself was also very soft and almost sweet! My favorite combination! However, I do wish there was an option to request the savory buns be warmed up. I didn’t know they weren’t warmed l, I assumed they were. The flavor was there anyway. 10/10. The matcha sweet top bun was my other favorite item. I’ve never tasted any bread with its texture before. Firm yet soft. It reminded me of Mexican conchas but the matcha sweet top bun was waaay better ??? 10/10“

“Stopped in while waiting on my order from a nearby restaurant and I’m SO GLAD I did!! Chef Ced was up front and helped me get the pecan lunchroom cookies. I originally wanted just the butter ones but he recommended the pecan cookies and I’m sooooo glad I went with his recommendation. I ate 3 in the in less than 2 minutes ?? Chef Ced was pleasant and I could tell he’s very passionate about what he does. 100/10 definitely recommend!“

“Love Racin bakery in this place fresh daily I'm always satisfied what ever I purchase there my biggest thumbs up is the buttter cokies I usually get it's far more superior than other bakery I use to purchase from one bite and it's obvious freindly staff“

“This is such a sweet little bakery! They have beautiful cakes and pastries, as well as smoothies, coffee, tea, and breakfast sandwiches! I absolutely love the croissant breakfast sandwich!

“I love the Oak Park bakery and everyone that works there! It's always a breeze to pick up a treat on my way home and the prices are very reasonable. This will always be my go-to bakery for both the quality of the food and the wonderful service.“

“It was a pleasure working with ECBG Studio! From our cake tasting to the delivery until every last bite of cake was devoured by our guests! There was not one slice left at the end of the night! We cannot wait to our one year anniversary to have another bite of cake! We HIGHLY recommend !“

“I usually bake my own cakes for my kids birthdays, but these last few weeks have been incredibly busy and I knew I wouldn’t have time, so I decided to give Crème a try. So glad I did! The cake was wonderful, all the kids loved it & so did the adults. The cake pops were just as popular. We’ll definitely be coming back for more treats!“

“It was hard leaving this place without getting one of everything. The rolled croissants are amazing. These beasts of a treat are well worth the trip. Buttery, flaky, flavorful, packed with filling. Not too sweet.Their cupcakes and single serving cheesecake cups are also superb. Small boutique, not really a place to hang out and enjoy. Friendly staff. Highly recommend.“

“Michelle and her team catered my wedding, and they made every single dream of mine come true. Every guest said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. The professionalism, attention to detail, and quality of the food is unmatched. Our family is a loyal customer of the restaurant, and we have never been disappointed by the food. They truly go above and beyond.“

“I've attended several events at Big Delicious Planet including Farm Dinners, Fall Fest, Show Some Love, and more! Every time I am so impressed with the delicious food and drinks. I love that they grow their own produce and herbs. They also put so much attention and effort into the presentation of not only their food and drinks, but the ambiance of everything as well. It is a beautiful space, especially in the summer months! I highly recommend them for any dining or catering experience.“

“I live in the UK and wanted to surprise a friend who lives in Chicago with a birthday cake. These guys were willing to go the extra mile, literally, and deliver for me as it was a little tricky for me to collect. My friend was very happy with the cake.“

“Where do I start on my journey to this "schweet" treat? It all started a few months ago of seeing this business online ...I could not manage to get the time right I was too late or to early or it was closed....But finally the stars ALIGNED and on Saturday I pulled up at 10:30am waiting for the 11am opening...to buy six amazing, delicious and delightful moo-moo cheesecakes (2 keylimes 3 pecan delight and 1 strawberry)...a bowl of chili and a candle ..!I met one of the owners who went above and beyond in customer service, she was kind, patient and efficient she didn't let me wait for the chili ,which I appreciated.The strawberry was the tester cheesecake which both my mother and daughter had a sample of we all loved and enjoyed this cheesecake especially my self which I put the remaining into the freezer to get cold quick ( best decision) to eat in the dark sitting at the kitchen table savoring the freshness the sweet tartness of the strawberries the sweet smoothness of the cheesecake the buttery graham crust slightly sweet whipped cream omg...I will be coming back for more soon..another reason why to support this amazing business is they help alot and give back to the community, they offer their shop for events."There the Cheesecake People".“

“The cookies are delicious. The brownies are out of this world. And the cinnamon rolls (just had my first one there) are truly the best I've ever had in my life. The staff is warm, friendly and welcoming. Five stars all around for Blackout Baking Co.!“

“Al Medina Bakery offers an authentic Middle Eastern hospitality that is truly remarkable from the moment you step in.Their homemade pastries and baked goods stand out as the finest. A quick visit for a single spice turned into a delightful surprise of leaving with four bags filled with their delectable homemade foods. By the way, some of the pastries never made it home. LOL .Special thanks to "Z" for the introduction to these delicious pastries.“

“I stopped by BlackBerry market on yesterday and the atmosphere was busy but flowed smoothly.

Service was smooth and effective, the breakfast items were yummy and fresh!! The coffee of the coffee!! Strong yet tranquil!! Fresh drip is self serve!! Loved that! The iced peppermint coffee was just what I needed !! Let me say this.. after breakfast and coffee.. I came home cooked a full dinner and washed clothing and was done before 1pm! lol energy!!!!

“I’ve been going to Wolfs Bakery for the last two years for birthdays, special occasions, and sometimes just for sweets! They have the best cakes, the best cookies, the best muffins, and the best breads. Everything they’ve made has been on time a good price and of course delicious!“

“I ordered the chocolate chip, sugar cookies, and brownies. We had them delivered to our house. The packing was fabulous. No broken cookies or brownies. We tried the chocolate chip cookie and it had big chunks of chocolate and a very good flavor. It was a big cookie that could be shared by two people. We put the others in the freezer until Christmas.“

“Let me say you made my Daughters baby shower perfect !Starting from the order to the pickup everything went 100 % perfect , from her warm welcome to the attentive care given on packing the cake for my trip to Nebraska .The fear of Flash freezing the cake to throwing it out everything went perfect. Just letting you know you can flash freeze a cake for travel.The cake was just perfect not too sweet and extremely light and fluffy delicious flavor. Thank you.“

“Best experience ever!!! The owner & staff was so nice. Me and my fiancé attend their baking class today and we both really enjoyed it.
