Our experience with Bittersweet Bakery was exceptional from beginning to end. We ordered our…read morewedding cake from Bittersweet, and they made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. The cake tasting was a wonderful experience, giving us plenty of delicious options to choose from while helping us create the perfect cake for our special day. Throughout the entire process, their communication was outstanding. They kept us informed every step of the way and worked directly with our wedding venue, "Firehouse Chicago", to coordinate the delivery and logistics. Everything was handled seamlessly, and our cake arrived exactly as planned without a single issue. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Bittersweet's professionalism, organization, and proactive approach gave us one less thing to worry about. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellent customer service truly stood out. One feature we especially love is that they keep the recipe and design of your wedding cake on file. Every anniversary, they can recreate your wedding cake or a cake in any size you choose. We've continued this tradition, and each anniversary cake has been just as delicious as the original while bringing back wonderful memories of our wedding day. If you're looking for a bakery that is responsive, dependable, and delivers an outstanding product, I highly recommend Bittersweet Bakery for your wedding cake or any bakery needs. They responded promptly to our questions and requests, unlike some businesses that never replied to estimate inquiries. Their customer service and quality were truly exceptional. A heartfelt thank you to Samuel who conducted the Cake Tasting and the entire staff at Bittersweet Bakery for helping make our dream wedding a reality. We will always be grateful and look forward to celebrating many more anniversaries with your incredible cakes.

The pastries at bittersweet will never disappoint. I grew up going to this bakery and the quality…read morehas never wavered. The quiche is always fantastic, and anything out of the pastry case is a must. Drinks are good as well! Such a cozy spot to grab coffee with a friend (or give in to the temptation of snagging a pastry on your way to the brown line)

So, SO grateful that there's an actually good, quality crepe spot that's not outside of Chicago…read more This is the only creperie in the city that I would recommend for savory AND sweet crepes. The crepe itself is thin, tastes as such and when folded over, is dense. What makes this place different from others that I've been to is that the ingredients are layered between every fold, so you don't feel like you're eating just bread with a sparse amount of ingredients that feel more like decoration. I had the smoked salmon and berry cheesecake crepes; both I would wholly recommend. Just one crepe alone is filling; I took the sweet crepe home and it is just as good cold from being in the fridge as when it was served fresh. I also ordered the 12oz pistachio latte (yep, they serve coffee drinks!), but unfortunately, I would not recommend, only because I could not taste the pistachio in the latte at all. As for the eatery, it's quaintly nice and clean, yet a small space. They make the most of the seating though, as they have seating along the window facing the front of the building, two large tables and benches along the back wall that can seat 6-8 people comfortably, and at least 2 (might be more, but I saw only 2) small, round tables that can seat 2 per table further in the back. The customer service is very friendly and accommodating - I had my toddler in tow, and they were very patient with me while ordering and settling in at a table, and quickly provided me an extra plate. (There are no booster seats, FYI.) They even comped my drink when they saw how much I was dealing with when packing up to go, haha. (Thank you again to the staff!) I really hope this creperie sticks around, and I will be doing my part to help with that by visiting as much as possible and recommending to anyone who will listen.

Oh my gosh! You need to run to this bakery. It is just that good!!…read more The choices of beautiful goodies at this shop were Amazing. They all looked beautiful ... but the taste was even better. 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.

We went for the sachertorte. This whole weekend has been full of authentically themed cakes. The…read moreday before that was the Moskva cake from Beglrade and today was Sachertorte from Vienna. This was very rich and I loved the layer of apricot jam. The shop is cute......but I had to laugh a bit, as I wanted a cup of coffee to go with my rich cake. The girl told me "oh we stop serving coffee at 7 PM." I looked at my watch. 7:02 PM. They are punctual! So I enjoyed my cake sans cafe'. Some of the other desserts looked wonderful here too. I wouldn't make a special trip probably, but if I were in the neighborhood, I would absolutely stop by. This is a special treat. Not cheap, but very indulgent and worth every penny.

Small business but huge selection. Check them out. Breads and sweets are worth your time.read more

The danishes were oblong with either cheese or a split of cheese and berry. They tasted like other bakeries, so the thrill was gone.
