Top Chicago Bread Maker Highland Baking Co. Transitions From Fresh to Frozen | Eater Chicago
"I saw an email sent to clients on July 6 in which Highland Baking Co.’s owners announced they will leave the fresh bread business after 37 years, blaming an "extraordinary shift in labor availability" resulting from the pandemic and saying they can no longer maintain the level of service direct-delivery customers deserve; direct deliveries will end Saturday, September 4 and breads will now be distributed by Testa and Get Fresh. Founded in 1984, the bakery often fulfills custom orders to meet a chef’s specific needs, is a popular vendor across Chicago (its brioche buns, pretzel rolls, and slices appear on many menus), once ran a sandwich stall at the United Center, fills Northbrook with the smell of bread, has offered direct delivery in southeastern Wisconsin, northwestern Indiana, and Indianapolis, and ships frozen bread nationwide." - Naomi Waxman
Ever chef Curtis Duffy launches Reve Burger | Eater Chicago
"The brioche buns used for the Reve Burger sandwiches come from Highland Baking Co., providing the soft, bakery-made base for the double cheeseburgers." - Ashok Selvam

Easy check in process. Huge parking lot for staging and docking. Restroom inside shipping office, just ask for keys. Overall, great experience

Relatively easy. Plenty of room to do a straight back even with other trucks. Shipping office door doesn’t unlock until 6:00 am got here and instantly got a door and got unloaded no issues. plenty of space to back
Blue- Come in if the gate is open
Red - if Gate is closed go that route
Yellow- shipping office door unlocks right at 6:00 am door light will turn green

Definitely will come back,Friendly Staff I arrived Sunday Evening for a 1800 appointment for the next day waiting awhile but checked in early morning and was in a Door quickly, and out so all five Stars and parking is available if you arrive early prior to the renovating they are doing, but plenty of room to maneuver around if your a professional driver 🚛🗣️there is parking 🅿️

This lot is a nightmare. There is theoretically enough room to maneuver but theres trucks parked everywhere waiting for docks with cars squeezing around them.
Had a 4:30pm appointment, checked in at 4:20pm. Got my dock assignment at 7:1 6pm, didn't start loading me until 9:44pm and then another hour at 10:50 before I got
my bills. Never again

Don't kno how old these other reviews are but it looks like there is overnight parking, no security guard to check in with, no other street you have to take to get into this place, pretty straight forward, alot of room for backing
