"The quintessential Evanston bakery, Bennison’s has been a mainstay just off of the Davis Purple Line stop for more than 80 years. The menu offers nearly every type of pastry imaginable, its most popular offerings include doughnuts, cinnamon rolls, paczki, and danishes. If patrons are looking to shake things up, Bennison’s additionally offers specialty European delicacies such as apfelstrudel, an Austrian take on apple strudel." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
