Tahini chocolate chip cookies, savory rolls, and rotating specials
"The line for this takeout-only bakery in Logan Square starts forming at least 30 minutes before they open at 9am, and by 8:50 there will be no less than 25 people happily waiting, rain or shine. But it’s worth spending a precious weekend morning standing on a sidewalk to get one (or hopefully, many) of Sugar Moon’s curried cauliflower croissants, Nutella-pear brioche buns, or crunchy and not-too-sweet espresso cornflake cookies. Somehow, every crumb in the sweet and savory scones crumbles just right, and every pastry is made up of layers flakier than a Spirit Airlines schedule." - veda kilaru, john ringor
"The line for this takeout-only bakery, one of the best in Chicago, starts forming at least 30 minutes before they open at 9am. By 8:50, there will be no less than 25 people happily waiting, rain or shine. It’s worth spending a precious weekend morning standing on a sidewalk to get one (or hopefully, many) of Sugar Moon’s curried cauliflower croissants, Nutella-pear brioche buns, or craggy jalapeño-cheddar corn scones. There’s no seating in the shop, so be prepared to eat straight out of the box on the sidewalk, which is fine because there’s a 0% chance you’ll wait until you get home." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
"Chicagoans generally don’t line up for things like people do in other cities. That’s not the case at Sugar Moon. The line for this Friday-to-Sunday Logan Square bakery starts forming well before they open at 9am, and by 8:50, there will be no less than 30 people happily waiting, rain or shine. But it’s worth spending a precious weekend morning standing on a sidewalk to get curried cauliflower croissants, nutella-pear brioche buns, or crunchy and not-too-sweet espresso cornflake cookies. Somehow, every crumb in the craggy jalapeño-cheddar-corn scone crumbles just right, and all the pastries have layers flakier than a Spirit Airlines schedule." - anne cruz, team infatuation, jackie gutierrez jones 2, carina finn koeppicus, megan braden perry, julia chen 1, chelsea thomas, veda kilaru, ryan pfeffer, aimee rizzo, nikko duren, nicolai mccrary, candis mclean, juli horsford
"This cute Logan Square bakery is off the beaten path but is pure Chicago. The chocolate chip cookies are can’t-miss, addicting with the ability to transform the most rotten day into a win. The savory pastries, there might be some giardiniera or Italian beef involved, make for a game-changing snack. The neighborhood may not want this secret out in public, but Sugar Moon is destination-worthy." - Ashok Selvam
"Sugar Moon takes the city by storm with its splendid chocolate chip cookies, Roman-style pizza, and creative savory dishes like the limited-time Italian beef croissant (you snoozed, you lost). Sugar Moon is a one-stop shop for brilliant cakes, cookies, and more. But did we mention those chocolate chip cookies? Pure bliss." - Eater Staff
