Where to Find Italian Bakeries With Zeppole in Chicago

"Owned by the Turano family, Chicago Pastry has deep roots in local baking. They offer three different zeppole: custard filled topped with a cherry ($3.59), cannoli cream with chocolate chips topped with pistachios ($4.29), and French cream (custard mixed with whipped cream) topped with fresh strawberries ($4.79)." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff

Hands down great bakery and pretty much can't go wrong with anything you buy! My favorite is the cannoli donuts. They are to die for!!!! Layered flaky donut with fresh creamy cannoli filling that is made from heaven !!! They have other delicious Italian pastries of course as well. This is a must try!!!

I can never go here without buying more than I intended to get because everything is delicious. They have harvest cookies, Apple Tartini, fresh cannoli, and a great variety of breads. They have daily specials.

Nice little hidden gem off of Roselle road! Lots of delicious options here!!. Sadly they didn't have any Boston cream donuts, but they had many other options! It was a little chaotic this morning and a little bit unorganized, I think they were short staffed as well. It took a little bit of time to get help and someone tried to cut in front of me because there was no real line. Wasn't done intentionally, but there was no structure. Maybe put a number system in place as a suggestion. I'm guessing because of the cost of eggs prices have gone up so be prepared to spend a few extra bucks , this isn't your local Dunkin' donuts -)) Brought the box of goodies to work and everyone loved it, It was very fresh, very soft and very tasty¡¡-))

While I was driving down Bloomingdale Road I noticed an adorable-looking bakery off the side of the road. I knew that I had to check this place out just from its cute exterior. The name of this bakery is Chicago Pastry in Bloomingdale, IL. This small bakery shop is only open from 8 AM to 2 PM. These types of breakfast/brunch bakery spots make it very hard to fit into my schedule because they are not open very long throughout the day. I knew that I wanted to stop in though because I wanted to try a specialty donut that they say they are very well known for called the "Dossant" This half-donut-half croissant creation is said to taste fantastic. This bakery, of course, is not the original creator of this style of donut. This donut was given birth in New York City, a few years ago, but was called a "Cronut" I made my trip to Chicago Pastry around 11 AM in the morning. The small bakery shop had a few patrons browsing some of the pastries that were on display. There were not many "Dossants" left so I was happy that I arrived when I did to buy the three different flavors they had available. The flavors consisted of Nutella, Vanilla cream, and some other lemon-flavored cream filling. I also purchased some of their Lobster Tail pastries, eclairs, cannolis, a coconut donut, and a cream-filled chocolate donut. They run specials daily for "buy one get one" deals on certain pastries. The day that I was there there was a special on cannolis, which was "buy two get one free". The only negative that I could think of regarding the bakery was they sold pretty common items, such as Liborio buns in original packaging that one could find at any grocery store for triple the price. I could not wait to try the "Dossants". Luckily, I did not live far from this location so I was able to try them in about 10 minutes at my house. My first impression of the "Dossants" was that I really liked the texture; they were firmer than an average doughnut. The filling was very tasty on all three, but my favorite was the Nutella. The coconut donuts and cream donuts were good. The eclairs and the cannolis were not bad, but not very memorable and lacked flavor. The Lobster Tail Pasteries were delicious. I would definitely say go for these donuts. The donuts also are costly; they were about four dollars and some change per doughnut. I definitely think if you're in the area go check them out. I can't wait for when the weather gets nicer to sit outside on the patio and enjoy a donut in the nice weather. I give a rating of 7 out of 10 for Chicago Pastry. I do recommend everyone check them out.

Chicago Pastry made a beautiful, delicious cake for my daughter's bridal shower. Many of the guests commented on it being one of the best cakes they have ever eaten! And I agree!! French Creme Cake, highly recommended!! Sharon C.

Just returned from this bakery. Bought a custom cake from them yesterday , served it and it had a rancid taste. Everyone at the party said the same thing. Put remaining of cake in garbage. Called the next morning and talked to manager and was told to bring in remaining cake from garbage. When I got there manager stated they can do nothing. I've patronized this bakery for over 30 years and I will not be going back.

I had preordered pizza bread - the trays were ready when I arrived. Also picked up few cookies while I was there. Everything tasted great.

Been a fan of this establishment for many years. I just dropped by to place an order for a dinner party we are hosting. I asked to place an order of an assortment of regular sized pastries. I was told that I could not place an order unless the order had more than 6 of the same pastry. They do have a sampler platter that has a variety but very small pieces. This order was being placed on a Tuesday for a Saturday pickup. Having been in retail I thought that placing an order was respectful of the business and respectful of my time. Apparently not. The clerk even said that all orders are down from last year and there was no manager ever on the premises as Chicago Pastries is owned by Turano Bakery I was prepared to drive out of my way to pick up the order on Saturday but now won't Sad experience with customer service Will find a place that

The prices are out of line. Butter cookies at $17-$18 a pound? The items I tried were not that special. Cronut was fine, nothing spectacular. Brownies were fine, nothing special. The staff is either great - or just rude, so good luck with that. After visiting a few times, I just prefer Jarosch. At least everything is fresh there and the staff is always friendly.

Came here on a whim because I saw the sign and I was feeling like something sweet after breakfast. They have an assortment of different desserts, ranging from cakes to cookies to creme brûlées to cannolis. I opted for the dossant, which I assume is a playful rebranding of the ubiquitous "cronut." I got the Nutella one--it was very tasty and filled with a Nutella pastry cream. Would love to come back and try the other dossant flavors. I think I saw a pumpkin spice one. Mmmm...

This is such a cute little bakery and it looks like it's nestled in an old time village from the parking lot. Speaking of parking, the lots has a couple spaces near the front door - beware they are at such a weird angle. Luckily, it wasn't too busy when I stopped by on an early Saturday afternoon so I could get out. But I could only imagine a busy morning and there could be a real bottleneck situation. Be sure to pull really hard on the outer door, it sticks and if there hadn't been a sign to "pull hard" I might have turned away thinking they were closed. The cases are filled with delicious looking goodies. I ordered an assortment of dessert items - 2 chocolate (filled with butter cream mixing) decorated cupcakes, 1 chocolate cannoli and 2 chocolate covered strawberries. I tried a little bite of the cannoli and it was good- the chocolate chip filling had ample mini chocolate chips in it. Later, I tried half of the filled cupcake and it just OK. It was decorated really cute with a plastic pick of beach sandals and of sunglasses. Like a little "relax at the beach". It really didn't have much flavor (the cake or the buttercream frosting). I really wanted to love it more. I haven't tried the chocolate covered strawberry yet but how can you mess that up. I'm sure it will be good. Overall it was adequate. The items certainly looked a little better than they tasted. They had a good assortment to choose from when I stopped in around 11:00 am. I wanted to love it a little bit more.

Disappointed. 7:15am in the morning bought 2 rustic breads, one of them totally old, it was definitely not baked in the morning nor was it fresh as the employee said. However, I'm even more disappointed in the customer service, called the store and not only the employee-Jessy was not apologetic, but she was very rude. No one was yelling at her or blaming her, I just wanted the owner to know that old bread is being sold, but her attitude & complete lack of apology or respect made me decide to come here and write this review. She wouldn't give the owner information, name or when he/she will be at the store, hence my review here.

I am so glad I checked this place out. I have officially found the best frosted sugar cookie that I've had in a while! They are expensive, but they're big.. so it's worth it! Perfectly balanced and not too sweet. They are soft and taste fresh! I also tried a cookie type bar with caramel and that was very good as well, very rich, but good! I will be back to try other items and to get more sugar cookies! Service was good, when the one girl who had been helping another customer realized that customer had a larger order, she grabbed someone to help me from the back! That was pretty nice, I wasn't in any hurry, but that's good service! Both girls were friendly and knowledgeable about the pastries. Inside is a small bakery front with a large counter and 3 shelves of items to choose from. They also have some tables and shelves along the wall with additional items you can purchase. Pastas and sauces, different trays of cookies, etc. So make sure you take a look all the way around, as I found the bars on the back shelf!

My daughter ordered a cake for her son's baptism. We were hard pressed to find the cake. Looks like they did a small round cake slices it horizontally into 3 and added buttercream. The buttercream was over an inch and the cake? Maybe 1/4 inch. Ridiculous.

The Chicago Pastry charges the most expensive prices while using the cheapest ingredients. This bakery reminds me of so many other bakeries that use shortening instead of BUTTER to increase profits while not compromising the look of the pastry. I purchased 3 tiny cookies and was badgered by the employee to buy 4. So 4 small cookies was $10.00 and they tasted like they had no flavor and were a most regrettable purchase. I compared these cookies with store bought dollar store packaged cookies and the dollar store cookies had delicious flavor & texture that tempted me to reach for more. I'm glad not to have waisted more money on poor quality pastry that's not worth the calories and will not be returning to this bakery.

I had my uncles wake in wisconsin and pastries and cookies were my contribution. I reached out to chicago pasty via email the day prior and I got a quick response wanting details and if they could do it last minute. They were amazing in accommodating things and I got everything I wanted and more. I picked up and left with extra cookie trays set up to go. The table was lovely at the wake thanks to Chicago pastry. Everything was fresh and tasty and tempting. So many compliments! From the mini cheesecake to cannolis everything was beautiful.

One of our favorite bakeries! Love all the baked goods and pizza bread too! We always laugh about what they're going to come up with for the chocolate-dipped strawberries for each holiday. The employees are all friendly and helpful. They need a coffee menu and spots to sit! I would love to hang out here any time of year with a friend, a book, and a few pastries and a coffee or two! Wish they could add on and make a cafe!

This review specifically about their Cronuts or dossants as they call them. I was super sad and disappointed about this. I drove all the way out specifically for their cronuts / dossants. They were super dense and thick, not flaky at all or light and airy like they are supposed to be. They seem to not be made fresh that morning and were cold and somewhat hard. And I'm talking about a literally when they first opened. I've had a cronuts essentially all over the US that are amazing and flaky like they are supposed to be, but these are not them. It could be because they cool them down too much or make them dense so it can hold the stuffing but Don't let the other reviews or pics trick you. They all "look" good but are honestly some of the worst I've ever had. I hate to say it.

We love the pizzas here. They were sampling a new focaccia bread which was amazing. I drive 40 min each way to come here. Highly recommend this bakery.

Picked up birthday cookies this morning and I am extremely disappointed. They were discolored on the majority of them, where the cookie was showing thru the frosting. Some of the piping and name were not even the same color. I should have learned my lesson when on a shower cake my daughters name and the word "congratulations" were misspelled. My husband had to drive the cake back to have it fixed. Never again. Addendum: multiple cookies looked whole, when picked up the cookies were cracked under a coating of frosting. Addendum to Addendum: 7/10/23 I went to the bakery the day after and I voiced my complaints. They said someone would call. On 7/18, I called them again. Finally I received a call back. "The owner was out of town", "I had a family emergency". Someone could have called to tell me this. They did, however, give me a store credit of $40. So, I'm satisfied with that. But, I will never order anything for a large gathering again. All the decorating errors have been since Chicago Pastry took over. And after waiting a week and a half for a call back is unacceptable Customer Service.

Five stars for presentation but everything I tried seemed like it was missing something....not sweet enough. Everyone in there was buying focaccia... maybe I'll try that next time.

I stopped by here on my way doing errands. It had been on my bookmarks and I wanted to check it out since I was in the area. The outside was very cute and the inside was cozy. Someone was able to assist me right away, although I did go on a weekday afternoon. I went in at around noon and they didn't have too many options for individual pastries. However, they did have a ton of options for whole cakes. The cakes looked very cute and clean. I wanted to try one of the dossants because it seemed a little different. I tried the cannoli dossant. It was very good. The cannoli cream was delicious and they give you a ton of it. The texture of the dough was soft and pliable. I ordered a coffee as well. The coffee was horrible. It tasted like flavored water with cream. The flavor wasn't robust and it was just gross. I couldn't finish it and tossed the rest out. Also, they don't have any sugar free sweeteners such as stevia or splenda. They don't have much seating inside, but they have a few outside tables and chairs. The value is good though. I was able to get a dossant and coffee for less than $5. That is a better deal than you will find at most other places.

A friend got me a cookie while she was here; I liked that neither the sugar cookie nor the icing were overly sweet as these things go, and the mask-themed art was a reminder for everyone right now.

This is the second cake I've had them make for me in a year. I picked them originally the first time because they were $100 cheaper than 5 other places. I picked them the second time because the first cake was delicious. I gave them pictures to make a cake out of and, as you can see they did a great job. I wish I had a pick of the first cake. Customer service was fantastic. Nice and friendly from the time you walk in the door to when you walk out. I've been there plenty of times for cookies, pies, small Halloween cakes and other things so I am glad I went to them for the big cake. The best compliments I got on the cake was "very moist" emediatly afterwards I heard people say "ewww" don't say that word. I guess that's not a well liked word. Anyway, congrats to the Baker and to the staff. That's the place to go for a moist cake. Tell them Mark da Cop sent you.

As a frequent customer of Chicago Pastry, I have to say I have NEVER had a worse experience than I had this past weekend. A day that should have been as beautiful as ever welcoming my new son to be God's child was short lived with this bakery. I called to place my order which started off as a nightmare. The lady taking my order needed me to Repeat myself multiple times. Spelling Of names should always be verified back to the customer as this lady did but I had to repeat it to her five times I also stated that this was for my son's baptism and that I would like for the cake And pastries to be with blue and white frosting. The lady on the other end reciprocated what I was saying and made note of it on my order. The lady also then took my payment over the phone due to my order being over the $50 amount,no problem I understand and gave her my card number. I had to repeat my card number five times. Here comes Saturday my day of pick up. I walk into the bakery give them my information for my order. My pastries come out with PINK flowers on them, my cake comes out with GREEN writing all over it stating "God bless (my sons middle name & then his first name)" For starters I had to repeat to the lady multiple times my sons name and correct way to spell it and I specified while ordering I wanted the my order decorated in blue and white! So why was I receiving items in pink and green along with my sons name incorrectly displayed on the cake. At first the staff tried to blame me for not being specific. I asked them to pull my order and read what it stated. At that point one lady took charge and had everything fixed. Came out with the cake in the box and said everything was in blue and I saw the blue flowers through the clear lid on the tray of the pastries. When it came to Sunday the day of my sons baptism we take the cake out to serve and the cake reads in the sloppiest cake writing I ever seen "G O B." Last time I checked god is spelled G O D. At this point I'm even more annoyed due to what I dealt with Saturday when picking up. I come from a big Italian family we all love cannoli cake. This cake was horrible. It crumbled, it didn't cut nicely & over all the taste was not what it's normally like! I called the bakery the following morning to speak to a manager. The manager Jenna told me that there was nothing she can do unless I brought the cake back in to her to EAT! I said I'm really sorry I no longer have the cake it went into the garbage, there was (3) pieces taken from the cake. I have a picture, time stamped, 5 minutes after my party ended to show you. And I'm sorry did you say you wanted the cake back to eat it? Jenna said a picture doesn't work because I could have still eaten the cake. Yes I need the cake because that's the only way to know if it doesn't taste good. DISGUSTING! What establishment asks for food back? What establishment wants to eat off their customers plate? The full cake went into the garbage. Jenna said she would only give me a $30 credit to the bakery. I said I'm sorry but there has to be something more here. I paid almost $200 for my baked goods just to receive a horrible and messed up cake! Jenna said that's all she can do. So I came back and stated okay I guess it's whatever but I will be writing a yelp review and it won't be in her favor. Jenna then says fine you want to threaten me with reviews I won't do anything for you! And she hung up on me! The manager of the establishment HUNG UP ON A CUSTOMER!!! Especially with the times right now no establishment can afford customers to not return or to have negative reviews/ word of mouth against them. But Jenna obviously does not care. It's also very sad that Jenna, as a manager, didn't have any empathy for her staff not being up to par for their positions. The overall experience was not pleasant. I'm VERY disappointed with the cake and the overall experience I had. I WILL NOT RETURN TO CHICAGO PASTRY FOR ANY NEEDS AFTER THIS!

Came here on a whim, I was in the neighborhood and had no idea what was around. With that said, I was pleasantly surprised! The cronuts are so good!!! Flaky and buttery like a classic croissant but fried and sugar dusted like a donut. So good! One had chocolate and the other had some kind of cream, didn't matter. Anything on those would be amazing. And to top it off, a classic cannoli that held its own! The staff was friendly and quick even as I stood there looking overwhelmed when it was my turn. If you're in the area, stop by and get some classic Italian goods with a side of cronuts.

One of the worst pastry stores I have ever been to. Service was fine, friendly girls but unfortunately all of the pastries we've got was bad, dry, ugh.. we toss the whole box of about 6-7 pastries.

Chicago Pastry located in Bloomingdale, Illinois about 27 miles west of the Windy City, is in my opinion, the best bakery in these parts-- and I would include the entire city of Chicago in that assessment. Best for quality, service and creativity; my favorites are the chocolate covered cannoli, the incredibly delicious apple pie, and Sicilian Pan Pizza (Wow, love it!)... Actually, every bakery item I've ever purchased here at this family-owned business is top-notch. You can tell from the moment you walk into the shop; the extraordinary pride taken to prepare pastry-lovers for delightful treats. I take one look at the display case and I'm always wanting to order one of each! Always a 5-star experience here. Prices are reasonable... I highly recommend.

Do NOT order custom decorative cookies from here!! My daughter ordered rattle shaped & onesie shaped cookies for her baby shower in Aug 2020. She showed them what she wanted & was assured they wouldn't be exact but that they could closely match the picture. When we picked them up, we were speechless cuz they were so bad. The rattles looked like a penis and they were all badly decorated & very sloppy! We talked to the manager who said they thought the cookies were really cute! She offered no discount, no refund, no solution but instead made an excuse that it's hard to do them when they're ordered in bulk. Isn't that their job?? She said they would take care of us next time.........there won't be a next time! We did tell her that they shouldn't say they can do something when they clearly can't!

Great place to pick up something to bring to a party. Donuts, pastries, and chocolate bundt cake are all great! Prices are reasonable for a bakery as well. Highly recommend.

I would give them zero stars but the kids liked their donuts. We bought a loaf of sesame bread and it was stale as can be. Definitely not fresh baked. Plus the guy behind the counter had did not have his mask on properly.

I saw my friend's post the other day, and I had to swing by and try out this bakery. The location was easy to find, and the employees were friendly. I ordered a ton of items since I couldn't just pick a few. Red Velvet Dossant - The pastry was a little dense, but the flavor and cream were nice and not too sweet. Cannoli Dossant - Same as the comment above. The pastry was a bit dense. French Cream Dossant - I didn't get a chance to eat this one yet. Strawberry Zeppole - The strawberry cream was full of flavor and included little bits of strawberry. The pastry was much larger than I had anticipated that I was able to split with four people. This was one of my favorites. Custard Zeppole - The custard was very creamy and not too sweet. The presentation was beautiful. Cannoli Zeppole - The cannoli cream on the inside was much thicker than I thought it would be. This flavor was probably my least favorite. Lobster Tail - This one was definitely my favorite. The crunchiness of the pastry made this awesome. I have to get at least four next time! Jalapeno and Cheese Focaccia - The bread isn't spicy or very cheesy. It tastes good, but I would prefer more flavor and more toppings. Lastly, I must try the pan pizza. The size is very big, so I definitely need to bring my husband to help me hold it in the car. After trying all these items, this is still a solid bakery that I will patron.

I came here solely because of the dossants. My brother had told me of the nyc cronut awhile ago, and he finally got to try it last month after waiting in line for 2 hours. It was like $5, and he said it was super buttery & rich with a flaky-crisp outside. Fun for the novelty of having tried it, but not worth the 2 hour wait. When he compared Chicago Pastry's dossants to the nyc cronut, he said that the dossants tasted more like a donut, a lot less buttery and not enough of a croissant texture. I got here around 10am on a Thursday and the cases were full, boasting of a variety of baked goods. My eyes went immediately to the dossants. They had 7 varieties, and the friendly employee offered me a sample. I ended up buying the wannabe eclair, nutella deam, and banana dossants, along with the lobster tail and chocolate-filled cornetti. The total came to $11something. lobster tail ($2.19) - 4.5 stars. The outside shell was flaky in a crispy, shellacked quality so that each bite was accompanied by crackle. Not stale crackle either, thank heavens. And the inside was filled to the seams with fresh, light cream. I shared this with 2 other people, and we all agreed that this was the clear winner of our haul. chocolate-filled cornetti ($1.89) - 3.5 stars. This had a noticeable buttery flavor, but then I expect that from a croissant. Not overly rich, just noticeable. I definitely liked the chocolate filling. It was a good amount injected in at 2 places, with the tips of the cornetti unfilled. Not the best croissant/cornetti I've had, but it was pretty good. I like my croissants rich, buttery, many layers, with a flaky crust so that when you bite in, you get a fine crackle. Now for the dossants ($2.50 each, though they were $1.99 last month when I checked Candice's photos) - 2.5 stars. Needs more of a croissant-like buttery/flaky texture & crust, prettier presentation for a more polished look. Mariano's doughsant is much better ($2).

I had absolutely NO business being here on Fat Tuesday... I was just at Beef Shack getting my 'fat' on, and since they weren't selling Paczki's (haha), I thought - I'll just stop here for one. I rarely eat Paczki's anyway, unless someone gifts me one but this year I decided to get my own and further indulge, I was doing such a great job of it anyway... Being in the area, I realized I hadn't been to Chicago Pastry in ages. I recall when it was Turano Pastry I had been here only twice. It just wasn't a bakery I'd frequent, so my recollection of these pastries were slim to nothing. And yes, its still owned by the Turano family. I heard all about the Dossant "craze" awhile back, so I changed my mind and decided to try one of those too. I was here anyway, why not? Lucky for me, the shop was not crazy busy on this day. Staff was well prepared for customers and cases were amply filled with a variety of Paczki's, Italian pastries and other goodies after 4pm. Plenty of girls behind the counter eager to help you...They were on it. Very friendly, answered all my pastry questions and I was in and out within 10 minutes... I'm not gonna lie. I didn't end up with only 2. After browsing these delicious looking treats, I happened to spot ZEPPOLE as well.....yes...Zeppole! I only see these closer to St. Joseph's Day (3/19) so I was very surprised to find them. Its a MUST have during this celebration. Zeppoles are like French donuts (sans glaze) sliced in half and layered with custard (or cannoli) and topped with various fruit....Omg...they are SO good (when done right). And THEN I saw Sfogliatelle aka Lobster Tails...and yep, you bet I had to try one of those too...I've been on a roll tasting & taking mental notes on Sfogliatelle and was curious to know how these compared to others. Here's what I ended up with: Custard zeppole, Lobster Tail, Cannoli Pazcki, Custard Pazcki and French cream Dossant (forgot name - girl said it was a popular seller). My total damage was around $13...that's cheap if you ask me. Not knowing what to expect from the Dossant, after a bite, I didn't love anything about it. It had a somewhat crisp exterior, which I heard is supposed to be reminiscent of a croissant; filled with French cream. I found it too dense & a little dry overall and it was the least memorable treat I purchased. If you like cake donuts, you'd probably like this since that's what a Dossant reminded me of...Personally, I don't get the hype.. I was however impressed with the Zeppole. I was expecting average - to below average quality truth be told, but I also have a favorite bakery in the City for these - I set the bar high when it comes to zeppole. It was very tender and pastry cream was light and smooth. Not as creamy and delicious as a good custard (or Reuter's), but I wouldn't hesitate to come back and purchase these if I needed them in a hurry... Very fresh and light. The cruller-like donut was well made, BUT they were also SMALLER than my go-to bakery. Lobster tail had a crispy exterior and tender bite, but shell was missing the multiple pastry layers that Sfogliatelle is known for. Filled with a French cream (not custard), yet the filling was lightly sweet, airy and yummy. I could've inhaled this...there was nothing "rich" or overly sweet about it... I'm not a Paczki expert...more of a 'fair weathered' fan - but have had them in the past. These were decent as I only sampled a few bites of each. Super fresh and soft and pastry cream and cannoli fillings were pretty good. I shared these with others and they seemed to like them...A variety of fillings were offered...fruit, jellies and flavored creams... The best thing about my visit here? I now know I don't always have to drive out to Grand or Harlem Ave. When I'm looking for convenience and some AOK pastries, Chicago Pastry is a nice standby....

I cannot believe I drove past this place for 18 years because the parking lot was small and difficult to get in and out of. Boy, look at all the delicious pastries, cakes and I pies I missed (and probably about 100 pounds. lol) I was in need of a last minute cake for my mom's birthday and drove past Chicago Pastry and decided to stop in. I am amazed at how fresh and delicious and unique everything looked. Pies, cakes, cookies, donuts, dissents, brownies, cannoli's, eclairs are all ready to buy. There is custom options available too. I picked up the cannoli cake and asked for happy birthday to be put on it and the happily obliged. In and out in 5 minutes and my mom LOOOOOOOVED it. Fresh, moist, not overly sweet, delicious and just remarkable. Fairly priced, too. I will be ordering this cake again and again.

Chicago pastry is one of my favorite local bakeries. Owned by the Turano Family it used to be called Turano Bakery now known as Chicago Pastry. So whatever their name may be their pastries still remain at the top of my list. They specialize in authentic Italian deserts, custom cakes, and specialty bread products. Some of my favorites are their foccocia, donuts, and especially the Lobster Tail (featured in the picture) which is the Sfogliatelle but with french cream instead of custard. If you have never gone to the bakery I suggest you try it out the next time you are craving something sweet. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and will help you decide if you are not sure which delectable treat to try. They are now featured on my blog Glamrockhairstudio.com

I ordered a cake for my daughter's baby shower and it was one of the best cakes I've ever had. Jenna was a rockstar who understood exactly what I was wanting in both the design and the cake itself. The cake was spectacular. We ordered a chocolate cake with french cream filling (light and absolutely delicious)! Our theme was safari and the cake design was so cute. If you are ever in need of cake for any reason, Chicago Pastry is the place to go. In addition to their cakes, they have the most incredible pastries and cookies and pizza bread. D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S! Chicago Pastry is THE BEST!!!!

This is a pretty good bakery for the suburbs. Although nothing here really stands out for me, the items are in general a good size, moderately priced, and taste pretty good. I feel with a bit of refinement all around (better textures, brighter flavors, improved fillings and creams, etc.) this place could really be produce some amazing baked goods. But as it stands now, solid choices but nothing I'd go out of the way for. If you're visiting though, definitely check out their cakes. I feel that this is better than their baked goods and they have a good variety of flavors available.

Just purchased my wedding cake from here and it was such an easy process. It was very last minute due to some family matters, but they were able to accommodate my husband and I for the cake! It looked amazing! We went with a traditional yellow cake with a cannoli filling. The cake was very moist and tender. The cannoli filling was a bit dense and almost buttercream tasting. But other than that we were very pleased with the cake and would recommend to our family and fri

Ive been wanting to give this place a try because donuts are life. Very cute small shop with good choices for your bellies. I decided to try the caramel dousaunt and a pistachio cookie. The cookie was ok. The donut was less than that. All the caramel cake off with the wax paper so I had to scoop it out just to taste it. I will admit I am a donut snob and this donut choice was a little disappointing. They have a lot of other things I want to try so I will give this place another try.

Super cute place! The cakes and pastries look amazing and their loaves of bread look even better! I stumbled across this place accidentally and am glad I did. I tried their apple slice, a blueberry scone and this pastry that is half donut half croissant with a filling. Really good! Scone was a little dry for my taste. The one recommendation I would make is to up their coffee game. People want coffee with their pastries and when I asked for a coffee, I then saw it was regular Kuerig coffee. I can make that at home and wasn't going to pay a dollar for it so I changed my mind. Otherwise, I highly recommend trying out their food!
