Cute little bakery with Filipino inspired flavors!! I loved this place so much we went TWICE in a 4 day trip! The lines are long but it moves quick. The first time we showed up at opening (~30 min) and the next time we got there 20 min before opening for a slightly shorter wait. There's no indoor seating but they'll pack it up really nicely in a box for you. They're under construction right now (assuming maybe reopening will have seats?) Bibingka ($6.50)-- MY FAVORITE!! It looks so unassuming but it is the perfect mochi+cake texture. There's a guava filling inside. It's just soooo good. Not too sweet where you can easily eat multiple!! Comes with a little banana (?) leaf but just peel it off. Longanisa Croissant ($10)-- SOOOO GOOD! First off, this longanisa doesn't have that bright red dye that you may be used to. They said it's homemade so it's truly pure goodness. Salty, savory umami + super flaky buttery croissant yes yessss. The texture of longanisa is perfect, texture of everything is perfect actually. Plus, having a salty pastry kind of helps cut the sweetness of everything else. Turon Danish ($8)-- CARAMELIZED BANANA + CUSTARD + FLAKY CROISSANT GOODNESS!! Need I say more?? It was perfect. It does lean on the sweeter side but .. that's to be expected of turon. For a truly "less sweet" sweet, go for the bibingka. Ube Oatmeal Cream Pie ($7)-- This one was just ehhhh personally. The ube wasn't strong enough for us. But if you like an oatmeal cream pie this is a great homemade version of that. Better than store bought by a WHOLE lot!! I just wish there was more ube flavor in the cream. Toasted Rice Croissant ($5.75)-- I really thought this was just a fancy name for a regular croissant but NOOO you really smell the toasted rice!! It's like how genmaicha has that toasted rice smell. It's soooo nice. No added taste (like yes it's still plain), but the smell just adds soooo much to the experience. Calamansi Chamomile Bun ($8.50)-- FYI calamansi is a VERYYY sour citrus!! Unlike the other sweet things, this one leans sour!! There's almost like a lemon curd custard inside. You either love it or hate it. I thought it was fine with the other sweets, but definitely wouldn't get it by itself. Pandan Basque Cake ($7)-- This was the only no-go for us. The cake was dry and the cream on top was weak in flavor. The pandan you could smell but couldn't taste. So as a whole it was just like a dry cupcake kind of vibe. Cream puff-- Forgot the price for this one but it was a good cream puff! Was it as "wow" as say turon or bibingka or longanisa? No. But it wasn't bad! Coffee was good! $6 for iced latte and $4 for hot macchiato. Reasonable price, good coffee, no complaints! Hope the renovations go well and I'll be back for sure the next time I come to Chicago!! read more

Don't fear the line!! It moves fast. Longanisa Croissant: carmelized, salty, flaky with a nice chunk of sausage tucked in the middle. The favorite! Pandan Basque Cake: dense cake with a fluffy topping and sweet rhubarb jam - my personal favorite! There's a parklet down the block to the right of the store where people would sit and eat! read more

Waited in line for about 20 mins on a Friday morning, which wasn't too bad. The bakery is sleek, modern, and located in a nice community driven area. I appreciate the gaining traction and exposure for Filipino food and the flavors behind these pastries. Texture wise every pastry was amazing! The longanisa croissant and turon danish were flakey and buttery. The adobo brownie was nice and dense. However, some of the flavor profiles were a bit of a miss for me. The banana flavoring for the turon danish was leaning more towards artificial and the spices in the brownie were interesting/not bad, but definitely an acquired taste for me. My favorite of the baked goods would be the pandan basque cake and ube oatmeal cream pie- good amount of sweetness, overall richness, and balanced in flavor. I still think it's worth visiting and would go back to try the other pastries. read more

It's a wonderful place. For how busy it is, the service was great. They were attentive and tried to make some recommendations for me instead of being cold and rushed. It's a very cute place. Thankfully when I went there was no huge line outside the door because I went closer to the closing time. Every single pastry I tried was delicious. My favorite was bibingka. I only got sweet pastries because i had already eaten before but next time I can't wait to try some of their savory options. read more

If you haven't heard already - this place has been all the rage since opening in Ravenswood. I love when the flavors of my culture are put under the spotlight. Be prepared to wait in line! The bakery itself is pretty small. Turon danish: One of my favs! Turon is already one of my fav filipino desserts so I knew this would be a hit. Highly recommend. Adobo brownie: This one is very unique. I was very curious how they were going to incorporate adobo into a dessert. According to the website, they infuse the brownie batter with bay leaves to obtain the unique flavor. The richness of the brownie pairs well with the saltiness. Longanisa croissant: So good! Inside had a longanisa meatball. It was surprising to find the meatball a normal meat color opposed to the vibrant red that longanisa usually comes in. No red 40 here!!! Calamansi chamomile bun: If you like sour/tart desserts, this pastry is for you. Good but not my fav. Ube oatmeal cream pie: Yum! The cream is super light. I like the choice of oatmeal cookies to balance the sweetness rather than using a more sweeter cookie choice. Pandan basque cake: This was delicious! Cute little cake topped with seasonal jam. The cake is moist and buttery. Niyog tostado matcha latte: To be honest, I did not love this. Im not sure if the flavor/syrup was the problem for me. But I could tell they use quality matcha. read more

INCREDIBLE! We came in close to closing and were worried that they would be out of parties esp since as we arrived we saw a line out the door. When we walked in, it was moving quickly! We loved seeing so many different cook books featuring Filipino recipes as we waited. When we got to the front, we ordered one of basically everything. The seasonal bread, get it. Don't ask questions you're going to love it no matter what. This particular one was leeks and whatever not and I'm still thinking about it. The Turon pasty and the ube oatmeal cream pie still live rent free as well. Overall a great experience, but be prepared for the $$$. It is worth every penny though! read more

Del Sur is a cute, trendy bakery in Uptown. No seating, counter service only. We got there at 930am on a Saturday morning and the line was about 50 people deep. That said, the line moved relatively quickly. We waited about 30 minutes. I got a salted Pandan iced latte. Perfectly good cup of coffee. Very smooth. We ended getting pretty much two of everything for the four of us to try. Most were good to very good. The calamansi bun and longinsa croissant were the standouts. Generally speaking, good, not great. Between the wait and the prices, not sure we'd be back. read more

We came here on a cold and rainy Sunday morning. Despite the weather conditions, this place still had a damn line and it seems like we were there for maybe 20-30 minutes. It's that good. We took home a box of 4 pastries. All were delicious and this place quickly became a family favorite. I bought their Turin Danish, Ube Oatmeal Cream Pie, Calamasi Chamomile Bun and their Adobe Brownie. All were good but my two favorites were their Turan Danish, and their Ube Oatmeal Pie. The Adobe brownie was unique, but it sure I would get it again. I will definitely be returning. read more

Some of the best pastries I have ever had!! The inside is beautiful as well. We got the turon danish, longanisa croissant, seasonal hand pie, coconut rhubarb milk bread, and the pandan basque cake. The turon danish was my favorite and the banana flavor was perfect. The rhubarb milk bread was also super soft, filled with cream and jam, and such a pretty color! It was a bit tart and the coconut flavor wasn't strong. I also got an iced latte with caramelized honey syrup, yum. We came here on a Saturday around 10am. There was a line outside the door that took about 30 minutes. They open at 8am but they do not sell out. They are continuously baking and restocking the case with their offerings for that day. I'm sure they stop baking at some point, so obviously don't show up too late. I'm glad we didn't get up extra early to line up at 8am thinking they would sell out lol. It's takeout only, so you can't eat there. read more

We decided to finally make the adventure to Del Sur and boy was it one! When we finally got there we joined the line and it took about 30-40 minutes to get inside, so I'd recommend grabbing a snack beforehand. The inside is cute and was decorated for Valentine's Day. We tried: - Ube Oatmeal Cream Pie - Calamansi Chamomile Bun - Longanisa Croissant - Turon Danish - Pandan Basque Cake - Ube Latte - Salted Pandan Latte Everything was good and surprisingly affordable! At then end it came to about ~$5 an item or so. I'd say my favorite was the Calamansi Chamomile Bun and Salted Pandan Latte. It is definitely worth a visit but expect a wait. read more

Been wanting to try this place for months! The lines are usually very long. But the wait paid off! Had to wait for about 5 minutes. Got the caramelized honey matcha and some sort of croissant with lemon cream filling. I'm not a big fan of matcha usually but this one was amazing. The lemony croissant was a small cloud of heaven. The filling was lemony and tart and it paired really good with the sweetness of the dough. The place is very small and even though it's extremely busy , it was very clean. Now I get the hype of this place! Definitely will return ! read more

Small space inside, long line on weekends. Ther is no sitting area inside so plan accordingly. They sell out quickly on weekends. Service is great. While I was standing in line they came out with mini version of their pastries with paper and palate and utensils which is so thoughtful. Inside host was super helpful in making selection. Vegetarian rating out of 5. They have limited choices for me so would love to see more increase Latte with mocha and ube syrup - 3.5 - next time I will try with oat milk as whole milk was too heavy. The salt taste was not my favorite Adobe brownie - 4 Uber cookies - love the Uber filling not fan of oatmeal cookie on the top. read more

This was from the Uniqlo x Del Sur collab. I was so excited to get the chance to finally try one of the best Filipino bakeries in Chicago! Loved the turon danish 9.5/10! It had a banana flavor and loved the dried banana slices on top. Loved how crispy the croissant is. I could eat a thousand of these. Chocolate chip cookie was ok nothing standout. The texture not my thing tho. 4/10 I can't wait to visit the actual store and try more pastries! read more

Del Sur hype is real! I grabbed a box of pastries for my friend and got to try the longganisa croissant, which was a total party for my taste buds! The croissant flakey texture and layers were perfect and the longganisa sausage was delicious and not overly sweet. For me personally, I would like the salt dialed down as I'm sensitive to it, but for general population, it's balanced. I arrived at 10:50am and there were about 11 people ahead of me (outside the front door) and about 8-10 (inside). I was out the door under 30 min later at 11:18am with my box of pastries. If you want a hand crafted drink, then you might wait longer. I recommend arriving earlier because one pastry type was already sold out by 11am and the line was super long wrapped around the block after I arrived. Staff are super friendly and happy to explain anything. I want to suggest to them to allow for prepaid online ordering like Kasama does so customers and pre-order and pay online so they can just walk in and pick up their baked goods. Instead of asking staff to explain to every customer on every baked item that is labeled with ask staff what the flavor special is, have that info ready at the face of the door with pictures so customers are ready to order when at the register. Both these items can speed up the queue. The location is great for public transport users: right in front of #50 Damen bus stop and right next to the Damen Brown Line entrance. Parking is a total PITA and difficult to find, so I recommend parking a few blocks farther away and walk. read more

Stopped by on a cold Saturday morning and was surprised there was no line! Everything in the case looked so good, I had to practice self-control not to order one of everything. The longanisa croissant was solid, though a bit hard to eat (definitely a fork-and-knife situation). The salted yolk topping was a nice touch. The pandan basque cake was my favorite - amazing texture and crumb, and the pandan flavor was spot on. The pumpkin seed croissant was also delicious and incredibly flaky. Already looking forward to coming back to try more! read more

I get the hype. Wow what incredible pastries. I wasn't even planning on stopping by today but I just happened to be in the area. I came in around 1pm on a Sunday and there were maybe 2-3 people ahead of me, hardly any wait time. The staff were so nice and patient with me as I had no idea what to order, very helpful in offering suggestions and explaining what each thing was. I ended up getting an ube ensaymada and a pandan basque cake w mango jelly. Both were exceptional. Balanced flavors and nothing that was overpowering. My pandan cappuccino was also fantastic. read more

I bookmarked this place after a friend of mine posted a picture of what she bought there so I decided to check it out. Be warned, don't go here on a Saturday around 10-11 unless you want to find yourself waiting in a very long line. I was not prepared for that. Of course I waited because I wanted to see what all of the hype was about. My sister in law was pregnant at the time so I decided to get a box of 4 desserts, toasted rice chocolate chip cookie, chai roll, and split it up between us four to see what we liked. I ordered to caramel cappuccinos to go because there's really not much space to lounge with kids. The coffee was so delicious and so needed after a while morning chasing after my kids. I was really impressed with the roasted rice chocolate chip cookie- it was so chewy and delicious! In general everything was very good and I would honestly check them out again because I was very impressed with how they were able to mesh in the flavors of the Philippines and Chicago into a wonderful creation- these are not ordinary pastries, they literally look they belong on high- end tea party. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

This bakery just opened and the line is 30 people deep! I could see why after gobbling some pastries up at the bench just outside the bakery. Definitely worth the 30 minute wait on a freezing (for me) early morning. Del Sur Bakery is a Filipino inspired bakery that produces some delicious baked goods. The calamansi chamomile bun is muffin like croissant with buttery layers and sugary top. Inside is a calamansi (Southeast Asian lemon/orange) custard. Honestly, I didn't taste any chamomile but I'm assuming it was somewhere in the mix to lessen the tang of the calamansi. Topped with a slice of lime. Yes, lime. I'm assuming the calamansi fruit is hard to get in the Midwest. I like most things pandan. So, I had to get the Pandan Basque cake. Basque cake is more like a soft buttery cookie with consistency of a thick oatmeal cookie but without the oats. It's hard to describe. Kasama, another bakery, not too far away has something similar but with ube. On top is a pandan cream with a dallop of raspberry jam. This one I'll remember for some time since it's unique ito my eating experience. Since the day was early, I wish I could try other items but I had a full day's worth of eating. The other notable pastries: turon Danish, longanisa croissant, coconut croissant, toasted rice croissant, bibingka where on my eye. The interesting baked goods includes adobo brownie and food for the Gods muffin. Worth checking out. I'll be back when I'm in town again. read more

Really quaint, beautifully decorated, tasteful bakery and cafe. They sell hats, cook books, and pins inside the shop. It's definitely a bit pricey but everything from the baked goods to the coffee/tea drinks are all masterfully made. My husband got an ube iced coffee which he says is his favorite way to drink coffee now. I tried the ube matcha which wasn't too sweet and the ube flavor was subtle and blent well with the matcha. We came in the morning around 10:30 am and there was a small line inside the shop. This is more of a takeout place, and if you don't get drinks you'll be in and out within 15 min. For the baked goods, the basque cake really stood out to me. The fluffy creamy top was a little salty which paired well with the pandan flavor and cake. The cake tasted a bit like a shortbread cookie. Staff were all very friendly and thoughtful. Will definitely be back! So happy this place has opened in Chicago and highly recommend giving them a try! read more

We tried: 1. Turon Danish 2. Ube Oatmeal Cream Pie 3. Ube & Salted Pandan Latte My favorite item - the flaky, bland pastry paired perfectly with sweet banana cream. The ube oatmeal pie tasted as advertised; I would've liked more ube cream. The oatmeal cookies are quite sweet. Ube and salted pandan Latte were very disappointing. No taste of either key flavors. Just sugary lattes. No issues with service. The staff was patient and helpful when we asked questions. It's a small space - Order to-go only. read more

Short Review: Is there always a line? Yes. Is it worth the wait? Yes. Is it food porn? Yes. Is it quality? Yes. First class. Is it pricey? Yes. Is the hype justified? Yes. Would I go back again- absolutely! Full Review: The Turon (sweet like bananas foster) has this layered phyllo dough that's crispy and flaky, all without falling apart - it's so good you can cry. We followed that with the savory croissant longonisa. The croissant is a layered, buttery smooth croissant. Not bread-like, as most grocery or bakery croissants. I do suggest you eat it fresh from the oven (otherwise heat it at home) bite into the sausage and the experience is sublime - enjoy that moment - wait - then bite again as your tongue begins to fully process the complex flavors. This one pastry is imparting to your brain receptors just how good it is and bang! Your mind just told you - quite possibly the best sausage croissant pairing ever! We did also have the adobo galette and the seasonal meringue tart. Both good, especially the tart, they just didn't blow my mind. The pandan latte is a must try, for the uninitiated. It's slightly sweet - trust me it's good, it's green - do it. The staff is super chill and judging by the looks, local. I do have one gripe. After they take your order on the counter they flip it for the tip. It starts at 15% and tops at 25%. 20 to 25% is what I tip at full service restaurants- not bake shops where they hand you what you point at or make your coffee. You're telling me their labor is as extensive as a server say at Wilde (Lakeview) on Broadway or Calo (Andersonville) on Clark or any other full service restaurant? Those servers would be offended because you equate their work in the same level at Del Sur. Otherwise I really like Del Sur. read more

We arrived at Del Sur bakery around 2 PM on a Saturday, at that point they had pretty much sold out of everything except for three items. We tried: - Ube oatmeal cookie - Brownie - Spiced Kabocha Cappuccino The Ube oatmeal cookie was absolutely amazing and delicious. I haven't really had anything like it. The brownie was pretty salty/limey, it wasn't our favorite. The spiced cappuccino was slightly sweet and had a good kick of spice. Even with the limited options, the quality was high and I would definitely be back! read more

If you've seen Del Sur on social media and wondered if it's just hype like me, I can confidently say it's worth the travel to Ravenswood to give it a try. Each 3 pastries I ordered were fantastic. Similar to other trendy bakeries there is no indoor seating which admittedly sucks especially if you're paying ~7$ per pastry, but the quality of them makes up for it. Texture, level of sweetness, were both perfect. While small, the space is cute and the staff are friendly. Good grab-and-go set up. I hear comparisons vs Kasama frequently but I think that'll come down to personal preference. read more

GO EXPERIENCE DEL SUR!! Everything I've had from here is delicious and lining up is part of the experience (worth the wait). My sister has it down to a science as far as lining up and we bring a folding chair for my niece so she experiences the line (especially since my niece originates the requests for the bakery items here). The "science" my sister figured out lets us be the first ones in the door - we usually have a game-plan in place as far as the regular staples, but sometimes we have to make some quick decisions after seeing a seasonal/weekend special. The staff are so friendly, I'm sure it's been crazy having to deal with lines and all the Instagram popularity, but since we usually have a game-plan in place, we know exactly what we want and we move through the line pretty fast (especially since we are usually the first in the door ;)). The reception area is small- so that's why the line goes out the door, but it is pretty orderly. No place to sit down so take away and plan accordingly. The brown line Ravenswood stop is very convenient if you are a train taker, but (hot tip) if you go early enough in the morning, street parking is easy. I've only been inside the bakery once, but have enjoyed the treats from here more than once (I just didn't' get up early enough - my sister does not wait... it's part of the science of getting to be the first in line). Everything is delicious. I think my favorite is the longanisa croissant and ube oatmeal cream pie. They do have coffee offerings, but honestly we usually just go for pastries (in-and-out) also less chance of spilling anything along the way. read more

Del Sur was an Instagram discovery for me and it lived up to the hype! I love Filipino food and we don't have very many options where I live, so I was excited to learn about this Filipino bakery that's only open Thursday through Sunday, 8 am-3 pm. Nate and I were in Chicago for a work trip so I knew we had to try to get in line before they opened on Thursday. When we arrived at 7:55 am there were about ten people in line, and the doors opened right around 8 am. They were great about managing the line and giving suggestions, as well as being patient and letting us ask questions. I'd done my research, so I knew I wanted to the longanisa croissant and the turon pastry. We also ordered the ube oatmeal cream pie and the tahini zucchini muffin, as well as a couple coffees. The team was efficient and super polite, and we had our order quickly and went outside to sit on the bench and dig in. Note that there is no seating inside and seating options nearby are quite limited. I think we were technically at a bus stop, but we ate quickly! The longanisa croissant was incredible and my favorite. The flakiness was perfection, it was slightly sweet (but not too sweet!) and the sausage was delicious. I also really liked the turon pastry - also super flaky and not too sweet. The ube oatmeal cream pie looked very tasty but I felt that the cookies overwhelmed the ube flavor. The tahini zucchini muffin was just okay for me. I'm so glad we got to check out this spot and would definitely go back even though it's a bit of a trek from where we usually stay. read more

Del Sur is every bit as spectacular as I thought it would be and more!! They popped on my radar via IG before they were a storefront. Now that they have a shop - it's been near impossible for me to get up in the Ravenswood 'hood but it finally finally happened! The line was pretty normal around 9am on a weekday, but as soon as I was leaving around 9:30ish- the line was out the door! So maybe I just got lucky. I ordered the: *Turon Danish (aminated dough, caramelized banana jam, vanilla flan) - HECK! Wow so if you're not familiar with turon - it's fried banana lumpia (think a sweet eggroll). This rendition is wild. *Longanisa Croissant (toasted rice laminated dough, longanisa, soy caramel, cured egg yolks) - just insane. the FLAVORS in this. Wowza. Also the folks here really know how to bake (but here I am just stating the obvious) - the lamination!!!!! If you get NOTHING else, get this. *Calamansi Chamomile Bun (laminated dough, calamansi curd, chamomile sugar) - this is more like a cruffin shape! when i read bun on the menu, I didn't expect this but I'm not complaining! This ended up being the crowd favorite! *Ube Oatmeal Cream Pie (brown butter oatmeal cookies, salted ube buttercream) *Pandan Basque Cake (buttery basque cake, Pandan namelaka cream, seasonal jam) *Toasted Rice Croissant (laminated dough with toasted minnesota-grown wild rice) - I was very intrigued by this because it seems so "plain" but she's a sleeper! *Corn Muffin (vegan corn muffin batter, seedling farm saskatoon berries, cornflake crunch) - um wow! okay so this muffin seems to be rotating so you may not have this flavor when you go (the website has a Piña Colada Muffin! Cannot tell it's vegan! The corn was perfect - Midwest summer encapsulated. Also shout out to Kristina - who was soo knowledgeable and friendly. I had to get some advice on what pastries would hold up since I was sharing with friends later that evening/next day and she was so patient and helpful. This place is counter service only, no seating. read more

For the locals and those visiting from out of town, this is a MUST even if you have to go out of your way just for this. The Longanisa pastry was everyone's favorite by far - the perfectly seasoned meat wrapped in the FLAKIEST puff pastry was so enjoyable. If you want something sweeter the Calamansi was the next favorite with the perfect balance of tart and sweetness. You can't go wrong with any of their desserts. Everything was amazing and mind blowing. The Ube Crème pie was two oatmeal cookies that sandwiched the lightest Ube crème and no flavors were too overbearing. All the flavors complement each other so well Get there EARLY - line already starts forming before 8. I arrived on a Saturday morning at 8:02 and received my order by 8:40 and it was so worth the wait. read more

Went there on a Saturday morning and lined up for about 30 mins. The place is fairly small but packed with yummy goodies. No seating area but you see people leaving with boxes of the delicious treats. We ordered the turon, longganisa, calamansi pastries plus adobo brownie, food of the gods and the oatmeal Ube cookie. I would highly recommend any of the pastries (the first three items). They know how to bake them - flaky, with the right combination of flavors. The last three I would say are one and done - glad we tried them but not a big fan of. There were also different coffee drinks but we are not coffee drinkers sos didn't try any. Can be a bit pricey but fairly comparable to other niche type bakeries. Lots of street parking and close to the brown line. Friendly staff and good service. Will definitely go back! read more

I had heard good things about Del Sur from friends and decided to try it out on a Sunday afternoon since we were in the area. The line was out the door and my small child bent over and tucked her whole body into her jacket to stay warm but she said it was worth it. I had the Chinese matcha (matcha sourced from China). They also offer ube, salted pandan, dark mocha, and caramelized honey syrups for their drinks. The matcha was pretty good but wasn't my favorite matcha latte in Chicago. I tried the pandan basque cake (buttery basque cake, Pandan namelaka cream, seasonal jam), bibinka (coconut rice cake, sesame seeds, guava filling), ube oatmeal cream pie (brown butter oatmeal cookies, salted ube buttercream). My favorite was the pandan basque cake. Bibinka was good but was on par for the other ones I've tried in Chicago. Ube oatmeal cream pie was too salty and too sweet at the same time and ube flavor was just okay Overall, I'm glad we tried it but probably wouldn't come back on a busy weekend. read more
