Our Favorite Bakeries In The Country Right Now
"CHICAGO Chicagoans generally don’t line up for things like people do in other cities. That's not the case at Sugar Moon. The line for this Friday-to-Sunday Logan Square bakery starts forming well before they open at 9am, and by 8:50, there will be no less than 30 people happily waiting, rain or shine. But it’s worth spending a precious weekend morning standing on a sidewalk to get curried cauliflower croissants, nutella-pear brioche buns, or crunchy and not-too-sweet espresso cornflake cookies. Somehow, every crumb in the craggy jalapeno-cheddar-corn scone crumbles just right, and all the pastries have layers flakier than a Spirit Airlines schedule. There’s no seating in the shop, so be prepared to eat straight out of the box on the sidewalk—which is totally fine, since there’s a 100% chance you’ll want to eat these immediately. " - anne cruz
