"We recently checked out Bittersweet. Read our review here. Lakeview’s Bittersweet is bringing its cake, cookies, and cups of hot chocolate to Pilsen. Besides the tried-and-true favorites, this pastry shop and cafe’s second location also has new dishes like conchas and quiche made with carnitas from Carnitas Uruapan." - john ringor, veda kilaru

Besides tried-and-true favorites, this bakery and cafe’s second location also has new dishes like conchas and quiche made with carnitas from Carnitas Uruapan. And while the pastries are hit-or-miss in terms of flavor and texture, the ample outdoor seating and bright interior make Bittersweet a great place to enjoy a tranquil cup of coffee." - Veda Kilaru
"Over the weekend, Bittersweet Pastry Shop & Cafe became a target in an ongoing debate about gentrification in the predominantly Mexican community of Pilsen. On Sunday, March 3, owner Esther Griego posted a series of photos on Instagram showing her business’s windows covered with graffiti with commentary like 'get out of Pilsen' and 'gentrifier.'" - Ashok Selvam
"Second location of the bakery with a special menu featuring creative and traditional Mexican favorites." - Ashok Selvam
"The Pilsen location will have the same menu of pastries and drinks from Metropolis Coffee and will serve as another pickup spot for custom cake orders." - Samantha Nelson
