"“Life is sweeter with a little brown sugar” is the phrase proudly displayed on Brown Sugar Bakery’s website. And this iconic Chicago bakery in Greater Grand Crossing makes cakes sweeter than the declarations of love from your kindergarten-era crush. The counter-service shop is small, but the menu is long—besides cheesecake, pies, and cupcakes, there’s a variety of cakes available by the slice. The real standout is the classic caramel. Like all the cakes here, it’s made with precise, light, open crumb layers that look like they were stacked and frosted by an architect." - veda kilaru, john ringor
"Baker Stephanie Hart has Brown Sugar Bakery locations in Chatham, Austin, and Navy Pier. The desserts are Southern style with standout cakes like caramel and German chocolate. Vice President Kamala Harris has even visited the bakery." - Ashok Selvam
"Brown Sugar Bakery in Greater Grand Crossing makes great cakes, but this Thanksgiving they’ll also have pie. You can get their holiday special which comes with both a caramel cake and a sweet potato pie. Orders for pick-up can be placed here." - john ringor
"This Greater Grand Crossing bakery specializes in sweet potato pies. Its “laser pie” features sweet potato squares dressed with chocolate, caramel, and nuts. The caramel is important: in 2015, burglars broke in and stole nearly 50 caramel-covered treats. Yes, it’s that good." - Ashok Selvam
"As restaurants scrambled to survive in 2021 with much uncertainty due to the pandemic, Vice President Kamala Harris visited Brown Sugar Bakery where Stephanie Hart has served her signature caramel cake for two decades." - Leigh Giangreco
