German chocolate cake

I would advise against visiting this location. I have noticed numerous errors and inconsistencies in the desserts baked here. They are always swamped with orders, never show you your order before handing it to you, and the quality of the desserts is subpar. I now prefer to drive to a different location outside of my neighborhood. I have also sent them multiple emails about my disappointing orders, but have received no response from them. I have always tried to give them the benefit of the doubt by understanding that they might have off days or moments, but after experiencing so many issues, I realize that the problem is bigger than that. I have contacted their support team on their website twice to express myself, and I have received excellent customer service, which keeps me as a loyal customer.

Crumbl cookies are always delicious. Kind of pricey for just a cookie. However they have really good rewards if you sign up on their app. I have been a fan of their cookies for a while and the cute pink boxes just the right packaging. Been a fan of this bakery for a while so tried the location in wicker park. On this trip we got the salted toffee cookies and they were delicious and worth every calorie infused and that cute little pink box. Taste of cookie definitely 5 stars, location is difficult to get to by car and price was high for one cookie. Overall I give it 4 stars but you'll never be disappointed with the taste of the cookie.

Ordering here was really easy. They have a screen where you can select the cookies that are offered for the day. The staff were very helpful and quick with fulfilling the order! - The cookies were visually interesting - my family liked the strawberry cookie. I'm a little sensitive to sweets, so it was good in small doses.

After seeing Crumbl all over TikTok for weeks, I had to try it! My friend and I went on a Friday night around 10:30 and they were still hopping but we didn't wait a long time at all. Pro-tip, it can be hard to see that there are iPads where you order. There were so many Doordash drivers congregating by the pickup counter that we didn't notice them at first. Since it was our first visit we tried one of each of the six varieties available. The milk chocolate chip and sugar are permanent while the other four rotate weekly. The weekly offerings for our visit were triple chocolate chip, peanut butter with Snickers, iced oatmeal and key lime pie. The sugar and the key lime pie were served chilled, the other four were warm. As I understand it, while the varieties do change, the 'bases' usually remain similar, for example there is usually a peanut butter cookie, a chocolate cookie and some sort of cookie based on another baked good, they just change the toppings/fillings. I won't go into too much detail about the individual cookies because they'll have something totally different depending on when you visit. They were SOOOOOO good though, super rich and buttery and balanced. The only one that we didn't think stood out as worth the price was the milk chocolate chip, which would have benefitted majorly from semi sweet chunks and/or some sea salt. The others were to die for! I put them in the fridge after we were done noshing for the night and they tasted just as good over the next three days! Even the ones that were initially warm tasted really good when they firmed up but they reheated nicely should you want to recreate the warm, toasty vibes. Crumbl isn't going to be for everyone, despite this enthusiastic five star review. If you balk at the idea of spendy desserts you associate with childhood, you'll probably find it overpriced. I personally thought the quality was awesome though and the sweet treats lasted me for several days. I don't live too close which is perhaps a good thing because I would be there way too often.

So. FRICKIN. Good. My sweet tooth was calling to me last Friday night and it just so happened we drove past the storefront and immediately put the car in reverse and found a parking spot to try some infamous Crumbl cookies. Best decision of the night! We got there when it was almost time to close, so they only had the chocolate chip, the classic sugar cookie, and the buckeye brownie left. Good enough for us, so we got 2 of each to complete the 6 pack and called it a night. Lucky for us, the chocolate chip and brownie flavors were fresh out the oven, nice and warm and muy delicioso! These cookies were giganto too!! Didn't expect them to be that big, but the bigger the better, right? The chocolate chip cookie just melted in my mouth. Perfectly paired with a glass of cold milk, which they also sell. The classic sugar was also great. It was chilled, which was also a great alternative to a warm cookie. It was satisfyingly perfect. They have new flavors each week so I cannot wait to try their new flavors because I will definitely be coming back. They've gained a fan!

Cookie craving crusher! If you've got a sweet tooth and in the mood to try a new spot hit them up! When you walking in you're nose is filled with that baked goodness smell. Sweetness, warm dough, spice. It's like walking right into the baker's kitchen. It's a very minimalistic design and color pallet as to not distract you from the main attraction. That sweetness. First off the have weekly changing cookies. This week they had cookie dough, galaxy brownie, and caramel pumpkin. While there were others that are there all the time such as the milk chocolate chip and classic sugar. While there were smaller options how could I not get the big kid cookie . I got the classic oatmeal and the other 3 weekly flavors. My favorite were in this order:oatmeal,cookie dough, pumpkin spice, and galaxy brownie. Atmosphere: minimalistic, inside the baker's kitchen, simple Staff: quick, efficient, always on the move Food: hit the spot, each flavor I could give a mini review. Oatmeal: gooey, melts in your mouth, brown sugar. Pumpkin spice: pumpkin spice latte in cookie form. Cookie dough: if you like the ice cream you gonna like this. Galaxy brownie: crisp and chocolate overload. Room for improvement: possibly have notifications of what flavors to expect next week or prices or pictures that face the street entrance. Excuse my while I stuff my face

I Stopped by crumbl yesterday for some cookies and milk. The location is on a busy road which attracts a lot of people walking around the area. I walked into a very clean store where you can see the cookie stuff being made on the left. I like the concept of transparency and being able to see what they are making- makes the shop front look really unique. The staff were friendly and lines were long. There is no seating just a quick pick up to take or enjoy while walking around. They have a kiosk where you can place the orders -which is nice, convenient and keeps things moving. They rotate flavors on a weekly basis and you are able to see the flavors online on their website. Unfortunately, when i got there they were out of the brownie galaxy flavor and the pumpkin spice flavor. So, I decided to get a sugar, cookie dough and two classic chocolate chips. I was not disappointed at all. The cookies were hugeeee and warm, which pairs nicely with cold milk. My favorite was the cookie dough because of the frosting and flavor profile. The frosting was perfect and fluffy and had mini chocolate chips and cookie dough bits. The chocolate chip cookies were perfect and even though they were massive they were not overly sweet. I will definitely be back to try some more!!

Stopped in to Crumbl today while visiting nearby stores in the neighborhood and was pleasantly surprised. There was a short line when we arrived but it moved quickly. Unfortunately they got our order wrong (1 cookie incorrect) but fixed it promptly. The cookies are huge and decadent. We got a 4 pack with 2 Nutella Mudsildes, Chocolate Chip, and a Chocolate Mallow Sandwich ft Oreo. We were not disappointed! Every cookie was delicious but my favorite by far was the Chocolate Mallow Sandwich ft Oreo. We'll definitely be back!

Snickerdoodle and lemon
Eilleen L.

Another social media hyped place. Not worth the $4/cookie or the wait. The cookies are cloying sweet. I could only eat one over a 2 day period. My daughter mades snickerdoodles and she said hers tastes better. The lemon cookie base tastes like a sugar cookie and only the frosting had lemon flavor. The best part of the cookies are they are freshly baked and frosted to order. The snickerdoodle didn't not travel well. The person filling our order closed the lid on the cookie and the frosting partially slid off.

My first time coming to the Wicker park location. There was a bit of a long line so we waited a bit for our cookies. Got the chocolate chip and they were served warm. This is my favorite flavor but I haven't really tried many others for full disclosure. Only downside is the store wasn't very clean and tidy. They have an open plan so I think part of the appeal and premium price is the aesthetic, so to find the store so messy and disorganized a tad uninviting. Still recommend for cookie fix though.

The cookie dough cookie was divine. Sugar cookie was great but very sweet, and chocolate chip was a classic.
Kendra M.

Came on a Monday night at peak time. Store was busy but the self-ordering tablet is so convenient. Orders were coming out fast and fresh even with only two people working. Some of the cookies are even frosted to-order! I thought I liked super gooey, extra sweet cookies like Insomnia, but I realized Crumbl is just a grown up, better version. Plus the store is 1000x cleaner. Cookies are still very sweet (definitely can't eat a whole one by myself) but the flavors are so well executed. Like the cookie dough cookie - it was a molasses brown sugar cookie with cookie dough buttercream and cookie dough pieces. Absolutely divine. Wish I lived closer so I could try every rotating flavor! Probably for the best that I don't though... Absolutely will be stopping in whenever I am in Wicker.

Billy showing off the goods!! This guy is so friendly and passionate about the cookies!! Amazing
Ali F.

This place is amazing. Everyone working there is so freakin friendly and warm, just like their delicious cookies!! Especially Billy, who helped me pick out my cookies with so much excitement that I got PUMPED for my cookies! And they did not disappoint. Soft and decadent, these cookies are not overly sweet and melt in your mouth. They have rotating unique flavors, so aside from chocolate chip and sugar cookies, you likely won't see the same flavor twice!! These cookies and service are MILES ahead of the other cookie place down the street. Friendly service makes a huge difference and these guys have that down. You can also see where they are making the cookies from scratch right there! Just an awesome place. Do yourself a favor and get yourself some Crumbl cookies NOW!!

I was super excited to have a Crumbl open in the city after seeing out of state friends post about it! I had the chance to grab a 4 cookie box this week and I must say, it pretty much lived up to the hype! Full disclosure: there was an Elite Yelp event so I probably wouldn't have come on this particular flavor week but I shared with friends to get feedback on some of the flavors I may not have usually chosen. I got the pink almond frosted sugar cookie, which was a fan favorite! I love me some almond flavor and even my husband who doesn't normally, thought it was super tasty! Next up was Cookie Dough. Loved the base but I do prefer frosting on some of the other cookies more than this one, it was more of a whipped texture. I got the oatmeal for my husband, who thought it was delicious and "not ruined by raisins" which he said was a plus haha. Even for someone who doesn't normally love oatmeal, it was big, soft and chewy even THREE DAYS later when I got back from a weekend away to share with my husband. In fact, none of the cookie hardened at all and I kept them in the original box from Thursday night to Sunday. Last but not least the pumpkin with salted caramel cream cheese frosting. Now I'm kind of indifferent about pumpkin but I'm always team caramel and pro cream cheese frosting... and this was winner. I waited a few mins to get it fresh so you'll see the frosting melted and slid off mine haha but for a warm cookie hot out of the oven, not a problem! Once it cooled, I spread the frosting back across it. The base was SO SOFT (like I said, even days later) and the frosting was delicious 10/10 on this one for me. This week is a breakfast pack, aka made for me... so I may be back already! FYI: They're baking throughout the day so if something says out on the sign, ask how long! I waited a few mins for a fresh one. I know there have been a lot of complaints about selection and delivery so I recommend stopping in and asking if any are baking if you see a flavor you wanted is sold out.

Our selections, from closest to farthest : oatmeal, classic sugar, 2x caramel pumpkin

This is my absolute most favorite bakery. So this is my ode to the bakery and Dom, who is a gem of…read morean employee there. I've been a customer of almost 10 years and have been obsessed since they first opened their doors at a different location. I literally live an hour away without traffic and even longer with traffic, but I make sure to stop by or send someone else to get it for me at least once a month or more. I love the amazing cakes that are so delicious and unique but on top of that, it is Asian owned, LGBTQ supporting, etc. A lot has changed since their little storefront with no seating. The bakery is now a full on cafe and I'm so happy to see how much they've grown and how successful they are. And while it is glorious, I will say I miss the sweet neighborhood charm and great customer service it used to have. Getting in touch with the bakery through phone or text can be tough and to be honest, sometimes one of the people working there is kind of...very mean. It had me questioning if I should keep coming back. I just love this bakery so much though and being raised by parents that had a small food business, I can't help but want to support. I had a particularly difficult last minute request for the bakery a few weeks ago and I was reminded why this place is so great. It had been YEARS since I made this specific request, which was an order for a slice of cake for every flavor and a cupcake for every flavor. This is a BIG and time consuming request, especially if it's last minute. Unfortunately I come to the city whenever the traffic isn't atrocious, so it's always last minute. Dom absolutely pulled through though. Even though there were other employees there (I saw two others but one disappeared and then another male was kind of walking around the cafe and such), Dom took this giant request and fulfilled it himself. The other gentleman (not the mean person previously mentioned) was actually who I made the request to, but he told Dom to do it. I was kind of confused why they didn't do it together but idk, maybe the other guy isn't allowed to handle food? Who knows. Regardless, this request obviously took a long time and the line was getting longer; people were getting a little restless but Dom stayed calm but was swift. I swear he was moving faster than most people in the industry could with a cake knife like that. He was not impatient or rude to me at all. He was just there to do his job as fast and well as possible. It's so rare to see that type of work ethic. He is also so obviously proud of the bakery and the food they serve which makes you feel good about being a patron there. So although I continue to have an unpleasant experience with one particular employee there, Dom keeps my love for this bakery alive. He reminds me of what this bakery was like when they first opened their doors. I hope Dom is cherished there and I bet he is considering his work ethic. I will continue to support this bakery and I recommend everyone else to support as well. It may not be that small little shop anymore but Dom is a reminder of the heart of the place.

Staff spoke English well. Customers included many westerners as well as the expected Asians. Chiu Quon is cash only, same as Feida across the street. I was generally quite excited about what I might find here. The name Chiu Quon 超群 is a 50+ years old bakery in Hong Kong (English name Maria's bakery). I was wondering if it had any association. Alas, no. Be that as it may, this Chiu Quon is a 1986 institution in Chicago Chinatown. So, they deserve their own applause. I was on a mission per a friend's request to find 'chicken little cookies' 雞仔餅 or as CQ calls it, Phoenix Cookies. That was the first thing I bought. Alas, my friend reported they are oddly sweet instead of savory. Well, each has their own family recipes. I did side by side comparisons with Feida. The CQ pastries are a bit more refined, prettier, a reasonable filling to crust ratio, but also smaller, less filled, and $0.25 more. Items we bought: - Wife pastry 老婆饼, filled with wintermelon filling (no chunks) - Red bean pastry 豆沙酥, a smaller flat round type - Crystal gel pastry 香蕉糕. This old school soft steamed glutinous rice mochi roll is now commonly vanilla flavor. Theirs have a bit of red bean inside. Their version was quite sweet. - Red bean filled pastry bar with walnuts. We liked this item the most. Plump, well filled with red bean, the walnut has a balance to the sweetness, minimum crust. We bought more to bring home. All items were around $2.50. I honestly like both bakeries and wish we have lower cost options at home.

It was such a fun experience getting to try the chef's own take on Filipino cuisine. The quality of the food really stood out. My personal favorites were the nilaga and halo halo.

The kitchen area was open to where you could directly see the chefs. I usually feel chaos at times watching their every move along with them shouting over each other, but I felt a sort of calmness here.

Every scroll online was about their longanisa breakfast sandwich and infamously long line. So of course, I had to give them a try. They open at 9am, but the line starts forming long before then. Luckily, I had just gotten off my red-eye flight, so I headed straight from O'hare International Airport to Kasama. We arrived around 8:45am and the line was already halfway down the block. And as we got closer to opening time, the line doubled. We waited in total for an hour and a half before it was our turn to order. Now, I must say, it is definitely not worth it to wait in line in the morning for their daytime service. You can order your food online and walk straight inside to pick it up when it is ready. The food we ate did not feel worth a 90 minute wait in the freezing Chicago wind. The dining area is quite small with only a few tables available. I think they have an outdoor dining area as well, but no one really wanted to sit there given the cold. Even though daytime service is only counter service, the workers were really nice. The girl at the counter was so friendly and helped us quickly find a table after ordering. The longanisa breakfast sandwich arrived at our table wrapped in aluminum foil. And for the time that we waited, I was hoping to receive a fresh sandwich. I totally understand batching the sandwiches ahead of time to meet their ridiculous demand, but I was a bit underwhelmed. The sandwich was still good. I liked the silky texture of the egg, but the meat was already lukewarm. Eating the sandwich did not feel as satisfying as I had hoped it would.  I liked my drink - the Maiz con Leche. Hot and creamy with delicious corn flavor. I like the grainy texture of it as well.  The second most well known item here is probably the Ube and Huckleberry Basque Cake. It's a good cake. Crumbly texture. Tart. Although I felt like the huckleberry for the most part overwhelmed the ube. I was hoping to get a bit more ube flavor, but I could really only taste it in the bits where it wasn't mixed that well into the huckleberry.  I did, however, love the Matcha Panda Eclair - a light choux pastry with a piping of matcha pandan cream, filled with toasted rice. This was probably one of the best pastries I've ever had. The bite of this pastry is very satisfying. The outer layer of the pastry has ridges that are slightly crisp, and chomping through the choux to hit the crunch of the toasted rice was very satisfying. And the cream was delicious. They absolutely nailed the matcha and pandan flavor. I feel like pandan can be a difficult flavor to get right, so I was especially impressed with how they pulled it off.  Regardless of the time it takes to stand in line to dine-in, Kasama is a great place to visit. I would just recommend everyone skip the line and order online!

The Guava Custard Danish (8/10) had a great guava flavor and was solid. The Breakfast Pastry (8/10) had hashbrown, ham, and cheese inside a flaky crust. It was a really good flaky breakfast sandwich and WAY better heated up. The Atomic Cake (7/10) had vanilla cake, banana, strawberry cream, cheesecake, chocolate, and a light whipped cream topping. The cake layers were moist and it wasn't overly sweet.

We came by about 20 minutes before opening, and was inside around 40 minutes after. The line moved…read morefairly quickly. Interior is very small, so only a few can fit inside. However, they don't rush you when you're inside at all so you can take your time to look through the options. What I love about Sugar Moon is all of their pastries are very unique. They have great flavor combinations beyond the usual selection of laminated pastries. There was extensive savory options as well. I loved their focaccia bread. I've had some weird options at other bakeries (Kasama looking at you) but I genuinely enjoyed eating everything at Sugar Moon even if they were an interesting mix of flavors There is a lot of hyped bakeries in Chicago right now but Sugar Moon is absolutely worth the line.

Is it worth the hype?? It sure is hard to argue against it. We came on a Friday around 10am and…read moretook us about 30 minutes to get our order in and our food. Street parking wasn't too bad, and my wife got coffee up the block while I waited. Their menu rotates often so here's what we got (and I may be getting my pastry names wrong here): Espresso cornflake cookie Smores cookie Banana pudding croissant Jalapeno cheddar galette Southwest brioche Miso mushroom brioche There's a bit of outdoor seating around the corner from the cafe. Honestly? Not a miss among them. Just reading that list again is making my tummy grumble, and everything was chock full of flavor and toppings. Maybe we ordered too much this trip since my preschooler wouldn't touch the spicy stuff, and no way I was giving them a coffee cookie, but otherwise everything was perfectly soft and a great start to our day in the city. Hard to say if it beats the other popular bakeries in the city, but really we're all winners with so many great spots around now.

We happened to pass this bakery when walking around downtown. I had their banana pudding in New…read moreYork before and like it so much. There was a banana pudding bar where you could add different flavors to the banana pudding. There were cupcakes and other yummy desserts also. The service was very swift. - banana pudding: smooth, creamy, and good amount of sweetness. It was the same delicious pudding as I had in NY. - hot chocolate banana pudding: just okay. It tasted a bit of chocolate but the M&M's pieces gave a weird texture to the hot chocolate theme (just not my liking).

Magnolia Bakery is known for its banana pudding, and for good reason! After recently trying banana…read morepudding somewhere else that honestly didn't impress me, coming to Magnolia's and enjoying their banana pudding was exactly what I needed. My companion ordered the classic banana pudding, while I tried the banana pudding with a brownie bar. Let me tell you, that brownie version was AMAZING! It was delicious, and I'm disappointed I forgot to take a picture because it deserved its moment. Both options were enjoyable, but the brownie addition was definitely a highlight for me. The bakery is always clean, and I love that it's relatively spacious for a bakery. The customer service was also top-tier. We arrived when they were getting ready to close, but the staff still welcomed us in to grab our desserts. We were able to get in and out quickly, and I really appreciated them accommodating us so close to closing time. Between the delicious banana pudding, clean environment, and excellent customer service, Magnolia Bakery continues to live up to its reputation. Five stars from me!

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 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)
