Finally had time to drive over and try the pasteries! Service was super fast, no wait time. It's a compact and cute store. Only 3 window tables that fill up pretty quickly. I bought 3 and my friend got 2. Calamansi cream + pistachio paste danish was my favorite. The Calamansi cream was the perfect texture and density with a fragrant citrus note. When I took a sip of coffee afterwards it made my coffee taste like I was drinking fresh orange juice. The pistachio is more cake like inside than full paste and isn't too sweet. Flaky dough, soft pistachio center and creamy top with a sharp citrus cut. Peach + raspberry Melba danish. The peaches were soft. I'm not familiar with a Melba dessert but the center of this was almond paste which is not my favorite but if you like almond and tart danish it would hit the spot. Raspberry espresso cream cheese cinnamon roll was a fun fruity twist to a cinnamon roll. Couldn't really tell there was espresso though. Blueberry lime cheesecake danish. I also liked this one because of the lime. It really cuts through the heaviness. The fruits on top were also fresh. They also have one day old blind boxes. I grabbed a 6 piece day old box to go and it was actually 6 different pasteries, half sweet and half savory! It only repeated 1 of the pasteries I had originally tried so I'm excited to try more, especially the savory ones. It's an amazing deal if you just want to try a variety of flavors. Tried the Hot dog danish - really good! Upscale pigs in a blanket vibes. The tiny fried are seasoned perfectly and add a fun crunch. The splashes of Dijon cut through and it doesn't feel oily at all. read more

I've been on the hunt to find the best bakeries in Chicago and had been dying to visit Fat Peach for awhile after seeing rave reviews! Let me tell you, it was all I hoped it could be and more. The storefront was pretty small with a few tables- between the size, hours, and popularity (they were only open a few days a week and closed at 2pm), I suspected that the shop sold out often. I went on a weekday and there was still a good selection of pastries left around 11am. The staff was super nice and helpful as I struggled to make a decision. They shared that the strawberry milk croissant was their bestseller, so I opted for that. It was filled with fresh strawberry mascarpone and fresh strawberry puree. Despite the croissant's decadent appearance, it was not at all too sweet. I'm not typically the biggest croissant fan (I know, I know, no one is perfect) but this pastry blew me away. The filling was super generous without overpowering the delicate dough, which was baked to crispy perfection. Sadly, I don't get to the area often, but I will 100% be back asap to try more of the menu. Run- don't walk to pay a visit! read more

We went on a Monday around 12pm. We luckily made it in time for their very last mystery box and second to last pastry. The mystery box has an assortment of day old savory and sweet pastries. You can try different pastries for good value, and taste is not bad for one day old. The strawberry cream pastry we got obviously tasted fresh though, and I liked how the cream was fluffy and not too sweet. No restroom, cash, or wifi though. It's a very small space with 3 tables. The employee was kind to us. read more

The staff is always so friendly and welcoming during my visits. The pastries are always delicious and I love the rotating varieties of flavors. The chilaquiles are one of the best rotating flavors but you must arrive early. The store is small but absolutely worth the wait and the line moves quickly. There are a few tables to enjoy in house along with a good selection of coffee. read more

Solid spot for some unique flavored pastries! Came on a Friday morning - arrived about 15 min prior to opening and I was the first in line. Got a variety of pastries - the Raspberry Cream Cinnamon Role, a Pistachio Calamansi Danish, the Guava Custard, and the Hot Dog Croissant. I was hoping for more savory options - the Hot Dog was probably my favorite! The Pistachio Calamansi Danish also had a nice flavor and not too sweet and I appreciated the lamination on this one. The Guava and Rasperry Cinnamon Roll were a bit to sweet for my liking but flavorful. Prices were on the higher side and I think I was expecting a bit more from the pastries but worth checking out at least once! read more

The staff is incredibly welcoming and they opened right on time, already a short line out the door. They move through it quickly though and it's impressive for such a small space. The pastries are gorgeous: truly works of art. They have a few staples and also rotate specialties in (based on our visit they had about 3-4, one seemed to be monthly and the others perhaps seasonal). For me, while they were stunning, there was not enough pastry to filling/crème in most of what we had. Still such a nice treat and I know the work that goes into creating pastry so worth the trip--though at $9ish+ a pop, I may not be a frequent visitor. read more

Been wanting to come back and finally had time. This time I decided on trying the hot dog pastry along with the pistachio roll. I also ordered the day old box to bring some over to my family to try. They were very excited and liked the unique flavors. Especially the guava custard. Service is always quick and accommodating. You can get lucky with a few seats inside but mostly for on the go. So glad to have tried the hot dog pastry. Certainly makes me feel like I'm at a ball park. Pistachio had a nice lemon or citrusy hit to it which I enjoyed. Very light frosting too! read more

I have been wanting to try Fat Peach forever and specifically I wanted to come and get their famous strawberry milk croissant. Unfortunately, I watched someone in front of me buy the last bunch of them. Since I was already here, I got a bunch of pastries but I'm going to be honest they were just solid and not amazing. Like I have definitely loved the pastries at another bakery in the city and I feel like at the price point, I'm expecting a similar quality as that bakery I love. I will come back to try the strawberry milk croissant but otherwise probably wouldn't recommend the bakery so far. read more

Wonderful little bakery off the beaten path enough you can flame your friends for not having been yet. * Consistent pastries are delicious: Ham and Cheese = Favorite * Coffee is quality *Pastry texture is flaky, airy, delightful. * Some of the sweet pastries are a little too sweet at times, the frosting filling combo can feel mildly overwhelming. But I wasn't allowed to have much sugar growing up so my tastebuds are weak to that. read more

The chocolate within the chocolate croissant was really good but all the other items were average at best. Didn't care for the chicken mole but savory pastries are a task in themselves. Prices were on the higher side. Be prepared for a wait depending on the time of day. read more

Finally made it to @fatpeachbakery! My daughter and I got there a little before 9 when they open and the line was already down the block! It took approx 15 minutes to get to the counter to order. My daughter dug into her Strawberry Milk Croissant and I had my Baked egg with spam, roasted kimchi, cheddar, black sesame & seaweed. Both were delicious and hit opposite end of the spectrum of sweet and savory. Can't wait to try the remaining pastries with the fam! (Guava Custard Danish, Hotdog Pastry, Pecan Pie Danish with maple corn cream and Hazlenut Caramel Cheesecake Danish) Beware of line jumpers or folks saving places for their friends in line. It's a bit disrespectful when people act like they can cut in line because of their friends. read more

Great bakery - and a welcome addition to Bridgeport neighborhood! High end pastries. Sweet and savory. Flavor profile skews toward European style, but some Asian influence. Pastries are all delicious, and on the expensive side ($5-8 per pastry). They have a couple of tables and seats inside, okay for eating your food but not a great working cafe. I'll come back. Thank you Fat Peach! read more

This was my second time here & I still rave about this spot! Our friend was in town for the weekend and knew this was a spot we had to take her to. We came in on a Saturday right at opening and there was a bit of a tine. I do think that the rush comes in waves. After we got in, there was a bit of a lull then it picked up again. We got the seasonal items: butternut, goat cheese and chimichurri and the chilaquiles. We also a got a sweet option, which I think was pumpkin with chocolate, but my oh my each pastry we try from here is always good!! read more

You guys, I usually don't do this. And I may not do this. I may delete it, but my expectations were set high on this one, I invited my friends to go here on as a bit of an adventure, but I did not enjoy my experience. I got a nice picture though, so I can attest that they do make pretty and creative baked goods. I think that if this was my corner bakery, I'd be ecstatic -- it's a neat option on a seemingly vacant street and, I'm sure with repeat visits, might be great. I would just want to make some tweaks. Maybe go earlier in the day. Plan a next step. Contain my enthusiasm a little more. read more

Solid pastries! This is definitely a more lowkey spot compared to others but I still waited in line before they opened. The line moved pretty quickly. The people waiting for their drinks is what makes the store crowded. The bakery itself is pretty small with a smaller selection of pastries. I got the guava roll, berry cheesecake danish, hot dog danish, and breakfast croissant. Love the fun and unique combos! I also ordered a banana latte which I enioyed. The banana flavor was subtle. read more

This bakery is a bit out of the way in Bridgeport but I saw the strawberry milk croissant on TikTok and had to try it out. Was not disappointed. The croissant was very very fluffy and light. The guava pastry was my favorite by far. The jam was so fresh and reignited my love for guava it was so good lol. There's pretty limited seating but I'm sensing that's a theme for most Chicago cafes. I want to try the drinks next time read more

A crime that this bakery is so far from me bc their pastries are STUNNING!! We went during their collab with matcha moo so they only had a few pastries but they were all so good. My fav were the black sesame chocolate chip cookie (very strong sesame flavor and perfectly soft baked) and passion fruit danish (liked how tangy the passion fruit was). The laminated pastries were perfectly flakey too. Need to come back!! read more

I have been to Fat Peach Bakery twice, and every pastry I've tried from there has been delicious. Some of the items I've tasted include the Cinnamon Roll ($6), Strawberry Milk Croissant ($8), and the Guava Custard Danish ($9). On my most recent visit, I tried the banana latte, but I couldn't taste banana at all. There is limited seating inside with only 3 tables, so they are best for carry-out. There is no bathroom on-site either, which is a drawback. Service has always been pleasant. read more

this bakery has been on my list since it opened. such a warm vibe. The employees were so sweet and took their time even with a line of people out the door at all time. The pastries were delicious and not too overpowering like some other places. (Not pictured, the cold brew and the hot chocolate I ordered) unfortunately they made me a latte instead of a hot chocolate, but when I told them, they were nice enough to remake it. Definitely would come back! i was unable to try their chilaquiles pastry, but hopefully next time I can! read more

Got a chance to check out Fat Peach Bakery in Bridgeport, absolutely worth the hype. The chilaquiles danish was perfection and the mango danish was tart and not too sweet. The coconut cardamom latte was also very good. I shared the rest of the treats, but the hotdog pastry looked fun, the raspberry danish gorgeous, my sister loved the strawberry milk croissant and the banana black sesame tres leches was interesting. Yum! There are only a few tables to sit, but most people loaded up bags for take away and the friendly staff kept things moving despite the line out the door. read more

Fantastic pastries! Also quick, fast and efficient. The mole croissant was salty to me but my sister loved it. I did think the pastry itself was flakey. I really loved the princess gansito! The layers on layers, the artistry, the delicacy - it was very creamy and the jam in the middle was tangy. So good. I would say that the coffee wasn't outstanding - not bad but you come here for the baked goods. I got the banana latte and the banana was there in name only. read more

This small bakery, nestled between a dive bar and the Archer/Loomis bus stop could be considered a hidden gem--if not for the long lines it generates and deserves. I recommend getting in early on the weekends. Also, if you plan to eat there, they have three small tables that are usually occupied. I believe the pastries change daily or weekly. Their mainstays, like the strawberry milk croissant, are always great. They are a small shop, and you can occasionally see the owners taking orders or working the register. Their prices are a bit steep ($8.50 for a croissant), but the quality is never compromised. Highly recommend stopping in and giving it try! read more

This place is worth the hype. I love supporting local asian businesses and this is one that I will come back to again and again. You can tell every pastry is made with care and ingenuity. I tried their almond croissant which is a classic for me and it was so rich and fluffy. Their breakfast sandwich was also amazing. One disclaimer I have is that all of their pastries are so thick and rich so don't let your eyes be bigger than your stomach at this place. read more

Small but very friendly bakery. A bit easy to drive past by. We normally can find a spot to park in a side street and walk over at 9:15 on Sundays. A short line but nothing too crazy. The pastries are diverse, unique and pretty. Croissants and danishes look not boring at all and make you want to try all of them. The most popular strawberry cream croissant is not overly sweet and the crust on the outside is flaky. Love it. The savory ones like the spicy sausage danish and breakfast pastry are great when they are warm. Coffee tastes ok but good to have that menu. Would recommend for a try. read more

This place was quite viral when it first opened up and lines were long. We went on a Saturday morning with no lines - YAY! We tried the almond berry danish. The fruit was very fresh, and I liked the slightly acidic refreshing pastry cream! The pastry texture was also fun with many layers. The cinnamon roll pastry was less exciting, and the cream cheese filling on top was on the sweeter side. The breakfast pastry was such a nice concept - I did like the ketchup glaze on top and the hashbrown inside. Almost like biting into a vegetarian breakfast sandwich but with a croissant puff pastry instead. There are three tables inside that seat two people each, and it's a smaller shop for sure! Lots of street parking surrounding. read more

This is such a popular bakery in the Bridgeport area in Chicago. I came on a Sunday at 9 am when they opened and there was a line. It moved quickly though. Needless to say certain things may sell out if you arrive later. There are some limited seatings inside the store. People mostly do take-outs. They also have a drink menu as well. I only went for the bakery. Price is on the higher side. It is somewhat justified by the uniqueness of the pastries and the quality. My favorite is getting the mystery box which is only $24 for 6 different pastries. They are discounted goods that are day-old. Plus you don't know what you are getting and may end up with 2 of the same things depending on their stocks. Regardless, it's still an amazing deal. Highly recommend trying the Nectarine Almond and the Hot Dog. read more

They do not offer too many selections. And you have to go early. It's a small operation run by a husband and wife. They are only open Thursday-Sunday. Since I've never been there I chose just a few things. Chocolate croissant, ham and cheese croissant, almond croissant and a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was good but not sweet enough. The croissant was ok but better eaten fresh. Will have to give it a try again. But hard when there's not a lot to choose from. The inside is small so when in line you would have to decide pretty quickly. The staff was not very talkative or too friendly. Said thank you and bye. I asked for suggestion and a fav and the guy just said everything. So I guess he must have been the owner. read more

Love the unique flavors this bakery puts out. Finally got to try the Chilaquiles danish and wow.

Really blew up after some influencers posted it on TikTok, which I'm glad brought them a steady flow! It's a small place and easily missed because there's no other establishments around it (but right in front of the 62 bus). The peaches and cream croissant tasted like childhood fruit cakes I'd get from the Asian bakery. Delicious, no notes. All pastries are really beautiful to look at. read more

INCREDIBLE Seriously worth the wait in a cold winter Chicago morning. I arrived at 9:17 am on a Sunday morning and of course with no surprise there was already a line. However, it does move fairly quickly and come early because things will most definitely run out. This has been on my radar for the longest time since I used to come here when it was another bakery (Bridgeport Bakery & Bridgeport Bakery 2.0) prior to the new owner take over too. I love how more livelier they have made the space too. Strawberry Milk - Seem like a must staple to try. It was super light Black Sesame Choux - I love black sesame and omg so good!! I'm already ready to come back. Being a mom, it's hard to find any me time and this was the first me time in awhile and I'm so glad I managed to try Fat Peach! read more

I went on a Sunday morning when they opened at 9am. Free street parking around the area. There was a line, but it went by quickly. I thought the price for the pastries were on the higher end. I tried the macadamia nut with pineapple and coconut. It was alright. It was def flaky, but slightly over-baked so it was kinda crunchy. I expected more pineapple too. I def tasted the macadamia nut and coconut. It wasn't worth $10 imo. I'll try another pastry in the future and see if it's better. read more
