The 26 Best Bakeries In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"The masterpieces at Pan Artesanal come at a price, and we don’t mean the very reasonable $6 they charge for a single pastry. Much like Sugar Moon, there’s usually a long line at this weekend-only Logan Square Mexican bakery and cafe, and they often sell out before closing at noon. But if there’s a cajeta churrito worth the high-stakes effort, it’s here. The lightly sugared crust crackles on first bite, exposing caramel so silky it deserves its own thread count. The rest of the treats on the rotating menu are just as transcendent, whether that’s a beautifully laminated croissant stuffed with nutella and strawberries, or a soft pumpkin spice bun that pulls apart with just a gentle tug." - veda kilaru, john ringor
