I wasn't planning a huge order and was in the mood for a sweet treat, so I stopped by Lutz to see what they had to offer. Getting to the bakery is accessible and there is a decent amount of space. There were quite a few baked goods to try, but I was determined to have a cupcake and I was pleased with the variety. I went with the raspberry lemon and the red velvet cupcakes and both were great. You can taste the difference in the cupcake batter and frosting that isn't from a big-box bakery. You also get a nice little frosting treat inside the cupcake! The prices were decent given the sizes and ordering was easy. If I'm thinking about a custom order, I'll definitely check out Lutz. Otherwise, I've found a place for a quick way to tend to my sweet tooth!

The cannoli's were still perfectly crisp all the way through when eating some five hours after purchasing! One was a traditional cannoli with the traditional cream filling and chocolate chips all great quality. The second - was some type of coconut, walnuts and caramel which was out of this world! The napoleon was so light and crunchy, very delicious. And the eclair...pure heaven. The owner of the bakery was there when we went and was very sweet himself. He gave great descriptions of the baked delights and even gave us a free cookie while we waited to have our goodies boxed up. I cannot wait to visit this bakery again very soon! The very best pastries I have had in the Chicago area ever! I only wished we lived closer.

For lunch I ordered the brie and fig sandwich which is served on an amazing crusty French baguette. Everything about the sandwich was super fresh! We got the kouign amann to share and unfortunately this missed the mark for us. It just wasn't as flakey and buttery as I'm used to! Based on other reviews, it sounds like I need to try the croissants next time. It's pretty pricey, around $50 (including tip) for two sandwiches, coffee, and a bakery item. I wish the sandwiches included a bag of chips and a drink to make it more of a complete meal and justify the price a little more.

I had the best cheese danish here on a Sunday in June. It ruined every other cheese danish for me…read more I finally got back towards the area and they did not have the same normal cheese danish. The danishes were oblong with either cheese or a split of cheese and berry. They tasted like other bakeries, so the thrill was gone. If I'm in the area I will see if the regular cheese danish was as delicious as the previous.

I like that they have pastry baskets for the self-service because they're easier to carry than the huge metal tray (especially for children). This time, I got some cheese pastries for the adults and donuts for the kiddos. It was before 9am, and they sadly only had the strawberry churros, so I opted out. They have prepacked pastry bags available at a discount as well. Not pictured are the slices of tres leches cake and flan I bought because the leches spilled out of the container in the bag during transport. Muy triste that by the time I got to the cake, it was zero leches! Ten cuidado when traveling with tres leches.

There is a robust menu of coffee and tea options, and the cases show off baklava, baked goods, and beautiful desserts. There is plenty of seating as well. I ordered the cinnamon honey latte, and it was great. I would have preferred 2% milk to whole, but they only offer whole milk and milk alternatives (almond, oat, and soy). After doing an hour or so of work, I spied a nearby customer enjoying the lentil soup, a fave of mine. It looked like it was served with a couple nicely toasted slices of bread, which put me over the edge. I ordered it. It came with a large lemon wedge and... a cold ciabatta roll (the kind you usually see used for a toasted caprese sandwich). Sadly, it wasn't very appetizing, so went to waste, The soup was great, though! The place was busy during the 2 hours I spent there, and I hope it continues! I'd like to see this cute cafe stick around.

Everything was delicious! I especially loved the cream cheese & garlic donut -- perfectly baked on the outside and filled with garlic-flavored cream cheese. So savory and satisfying! We enjoyed both the food and the drinks, and we were able to get some work done here as well. I'd love to revisit this amazing place to try more of their cultural dishes!
