The 26 Best Bakeries In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation
"If you’ve never had a crush on a baked good, you will after trying anything at this cafe and bakery in Avondale—whether it’s a flaky bear claw topped with almonds or a fruit danish filled with rhubarb jam. Plus, their chocolate cake was one of the stars of season one of The Bear. And unlike some celebrities, we also like it in real life. The chocolatey combination of soft cake, ganache, and frosting is rich and sweet, and even with its multiple layers, never feels too dense. Oh yeah, the housemade English muffins and breads also helped score Loaf Lounge a spot on Chicago’s best sandwiches list. Breakfast sandwiches too." - veda kilaru, john ringor
