Joba Foods & Bakery

Soooooo good -- my favorite bakery in the area with the BEST cinnamon rolls!!! I'm constantly craving them The banana bread is stunning too, but you can't go wrong with anything here. Prices are fantastic, especially for the quality of food. Owner is also so sweet. Cannot reccomend this place enough!

This was a very quaint little bakery. The lady at the counter was super nice and welcoming. They do only a few things BUT THEY DO THEM WELL. The Puff Puff - were just the right amount of sweet and pillowy. The beef pie with potatoes - so good and comforting. The molasses cookies - full of flavor and spice. The hibiscus juice - they make in-house and it was super refreshing. (No seating, so we walked to oromo cafe to eat our pastries and have a coffee) Super affordable. Highly recommend.

I always go to Joba bakery to get my fresh bread. This place has the best bread, meatpies, the chicken meatpie is also delicious. They have fresh food and the service from Gbemi the owner is 100%. Love the fact that her recommendations are always excellent. I highly recommend the bakery for all their food. The Puff-Puff is delicious. Now that I have tasted their Chin-Chin and Zobo.... I will definitely be going back for more treats. Thank you for the excellent service. The food is definitely made with love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I had the beef meat pie and cinnamon roll last weekend and have thought about them every day since! the cinnamon roll was so soft, gooey, filled with cinnamon, and had the perfect amount of icing. I think it took over the #1 spot for favorite cinnamon roll in Chicago for me. the meat pie was seasoned perfectly and the pastry was so tender - not tough or doughy at all. we went a bit late and the meat pie was still very warm inside, making it a great option for an on the go snack on a cold day. the cashier was very kind and was happy to explain the differences in fillings for the savory pastries (they had beef, chicken, and vegetable flavors). I'd love to try a loaf of bread next time, or really anything else they're offering! you'll probably find it hard to choose with how delicious everything looks in the case.

Stumbled across this place on a walk and ended up coming back a second time in the same day! After trying the soft/chewy puff puffs (with a chocolate drizzle) that have a similar texture to mochi donuts and the massive cinnamon roll with a heaping serving of icing, I had to come back for the savory pastries which were also top notch! The only thing that was not served was coffee so we ended up taking the goodies down the street. Looking forward to going back for a loaf of Agege bread and another serving of... Everything.

This place is just stupid. The owner is just stupid nice. The food is just stupid good. The service is just so stupid amazing. It's really hard not to just fall in love with this place minutes after entering. Nigerian immigrant owned, community oriented. There's just little not to live. Only complaint I have is their prices are too low.

Delicious meat pies and sausage rolls. Had the zobo drink as well and it tasted great!

A great neighborhood bakery where I can always count on a fresh loaf of brioche bread, cinnamon rolls (get them when they first open when they're still warm and the icing is partially melted), fried donut balls (great for kids), and a chicken meat pie that's a little spicy for lunch on the run.
