    This place is such a cute hole in wall. They have so many good baked goods and food in general. We did not wait long and they warmed up the food for us. Would definitely come back and try more.

    We got off the train after the baseball game to check out Chinatown and a good bakery is always on the list of places to find. The first one we came across is Frida. A good pineapple and cocktail bun are standards for us to compare. My cocktail bun was more bread for me than I prefer but sometimes that happens with the end piece. Hubby gave the pineapple bun a 4 on a scale of 1 to 5. Always support local businesses!

    It is ok. It is a favorite of a friend of mine because her family often visited here to pick up baked goods for various occasions. Not a place I'll probably visit again because there wasn't much that caught my eye, although I bought some almond cookies for my SO and he said they were quite good (they were also huge). They are also cash only, and since I rarely carry cash (in fact, I either didn't have any on this day and my friend paid or I happened to have a couple bucks with which to pay) I suppose that alone means I'm not going to return. Parking is street or the Chinatown lot. The place is pretty dingy, so if that bothers you, you may want to visit one of the other bakeries in Chinatown.

    On our Tour de Chinatown this was the second bakery we stopped by after struggling to pick only a couple spots. It's got a much more "mom and pop" vibe than Chiu Quon, which is my preferred atmosphere for most places. Because of that you don't want to spend too long deciding on your choices, since there's the stereotypical "there are people behind you hurry the heck up" pressure you get a a lot of asian counter service joints. I love it, personally. We got the bolo bao and some castella cake to try out since we didn't get either from the other place. The bolo bao was pretty dense and had a much more bagel/pretzel texture than most I've had. It wasn't bad but I was hoping for a lighter milk bread style. The castella cake, however, was pretty good. It had a great egg flavor and was super light. Nice spongey texture with a very thin line of cream running through the middle that ended up soaking into the sponge. It was decent and in the area and I wanted a quick breakfast this is a solid choice. I don't think it's work a special trip.

    This is the best bakery in Chicago Chinatown! I know there are a ton and some that have a whole lot more hype, but this place is a gem. I've gone here my whole life and it's has the best buns hands down. They are fluffy, yet crispy and the inside is always flavorful no matter which kind to get. Anytime I'm in Chicago I come here and by ham and egg buns...they are phenomenal. There is not other place that makes them as good and like this place. Note it is cash only and sometimes they can be rude mainly because of them trying to turn people as quickly as possible.

    Feida has been around a long time and the wife has picked up bakery goods regularly from here over the years. They are a no-frills hole-in-the wall type business and not glitzy, but the products are excellent quality and at very reasonable prices. They actually supply bakery products to various other Chinese retailers in the area. Don't be surprised to see boxes everywhere, and it's just part of their no-frills operation. It's also cash only. I'd say great low profile Chinese bakery and 4.49 stars.

    Sesame balls

    The best Sesame Balls in Chinatown!! In addition, they sell a bag of six (6) large marinated BBQ pork buns for $9 which you take home to steam. I love their BBQ pork buns. They typically sell out of Sesame Balls in the evenings. Bring cash as no credit cards are accepted.

    Very reasonable prices with all my pastries, a little over a dollar each. The prices remain low because it appears they have done nothing to the place since it opened. It almost feels like a dive. The clerk was all business so make sure you have cash only. All my items were decent, not the best but close enough at these prices. The buns could've used more fat. out of my purchases , the rice cake/mochi was the best executed with a red bean filling. However, the bun options will please the general public.

    It's located in the heart of Chinatown and mostly like been there for over fifty years. It's been there decade before even Yelp was around Nice to see the same people working there year after year. Give this place a shot and try out a few of there buns and delicious rolls The art of Chinese bakery is in a glass of its self taking years of practice to make it taste just perfect. It is at times crowded and so be aware of this. It's best to park on a side street so you don't block traffic flow on the Main Street. Take time out to study the different type of buns and desserts. Give me a few thumbs up below if you find this useful. Swipe left on my reviews and give a thumbs up for the ones you like. Have a nice day.

    They try really hard to please the customers. The variety of baked goods has expanded especially on the weekends. Great rice cakes.

    Its a small bakery filled with treats. Masks are encouraged and the employees wear masks. It has my favorites in abundance...barbecue pork buns, egg custards, and cross buns. But you have to be early to get it hot and fresh. It doesn't show pricing on many of the items but you can ask. Support your local restaurants or bakeries with take out.

    Feida -- char siu in baked bao or puff pastry... yum!!
    Cassie C.

    The results of our highly scientific 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning head-to-head face-off between Chiu Kwon, Feida and Saint Anna confirmed that hands-down, Chiu Kwon has the skimpiest, most expensive buns. And -- far less relevant given that we're talking Chinatown and although I've been mistaken for Chinese, I'm a non-Chinese speaking Korean girl -- the least friendly service. We compared the basics: char siu bao (bbq pork buns), fried sweet rice dumplings stuffed with pork and veg and beef curry puffs. We bought 6 total buns/dumplings at each bakery and... Chiu Kwon: $7.77 for a paper bag (couldn't be bothered to give us a box) stuffed w/ buns and dumplings w/ the skimpiest of stuffings. All bun, very little of the good stuff. Feida: $6 for a box of well-stuffed, flavorful buns and stuffings. Bonus: char siu available in delish steamed, baked and puff pastry options!! Also, super friendly and helpful employee who answered all of our stupid questions as we pointed at half a dozen buns and asked "what's that?" Saint Anna: $7.30 for a box (which was offered as an option -- bag or box, whichever you prefer). Best char siu to bun ratio. Bonus for the ridiculously well-priced breakfast combos including congee, fried mantou (think Chinese churro) AND coffee for less than $5!! Other combos include spam ramen, fried noodles, dumplings and buns.

    Holy crap. I don't know how to describe this place in just words because words themselves won't do…read morethis place justice....if you haven't gone, it is worth every single penny (and time)! We went here on a Thursday at ~11am and waited about 20 minutes to get dine-in seating. The staff members were all very welcoming, despite the amount of people they had to serve. If you are dining in, you must order all of your items in the front before being seated. Be sure to order everything you want, because the pastries might be gone by the time you want to take any to-go! The food was immaculate. The breakfast sandwich tasted like home, and the egg just melted right inside our mouths. The Ube and Coconut "Ensaymada" was another favorite. My partner and I enjoyed every single bite of it, and regretted that we did not get a second one! We weren't too much of a fan for the Black Truffle Croissant, but maybe because we aren't totally into the cheese-inside-croissant type of food. Though, it is a popular pastry, so definitely worth the try! Oh, Hot Yam! was another fan favorite (and honestly ours too) for drinks. The latte was not too sweet, and you could still taste the ube essence with hints of espresso Seating wise, there were limited booth-type of seats. We sat at the bar, but the limited seating explains why there is always a line. Very cute restaurant, and def aesthetically pleasing. We will definitely visit again, and maybe even try the tasting menu for dinner!

This is a fast casual spot so service was pretty fast. There is a decent amount of seating, most of which was surprisingly taken around 11am on a Thursday. For starters, they no longer have their rainbow cake! I was surprised to hear that considering how popular it's supposed to be. We got both banana lattes which were extremely sweet. It's basically dessert with a hint or caffeine. I'm a big fan of banana, so I actually liked this but I would've preferred half the sweetness. The Turkey Bacon & Egg Croissant was so good! A solid breakfast sandwich - the eggs were cooked perfectly, the turkey bacon was insanely crispy, and that sambal aioli was just what this needed. I highly recommend adding Avocado like I did for some freshness & creaminess since it's a heavy sandwich as is. The Cinnamon Roll was soft, moist, and not overly sweet. Overall, I really enjoyed this breakfast!

It was rich, creamy, and packed with banana flavor without being overly sweet. The texture was perfect too, with the soft wafers blending into the pudding while still giving it that classic homemade feel. Every bite was worth it.

Definitely a spot I would come back to anytime I'm craving something sweet.

    I finally had the time to sit down and share my full review, and I'm genuinely excited to talk…read moreabout our ongoing experience with Magnolia Bakery in Chicago. Our relationship with this place goes back several years, and at this point, visiting it has practically become a tradition for us, one that we look forward to every time we find ourselves in the city. Our love affair with Magnolia Bakery began the moment we tasted their famous banana pudding for the very first time. It's difficult to put into words just how unexpectedly delightful that first experience was. We'd heard great things about the bakery, of course, but nothing prepared us for how rich, comforting, and beautifully layered that pudding would be. It's the kind of dessert that immediately pulls you in, creamy, flavorful, nostalgic, and yet elevated in a way that keeps you thinking about it long after the last spoonful. From that point forward, Magnolia Bakery became an essential destination on every Chicago trip, almost like a ritual that we simply cannot skip. Our fondness for this place has grown so much that it has actually begun influencing our hotel choices. Whenever we plan a stay in Chicago, we deliberately look for accommodations that place us within convenient walking distance of the bakery. The surrounding area offers plenty of shopping and sightseeing opportunities, which makes staying nearby even more appealing. It's incredibly convenient to spend a morning or afternoon wandering around the neighborhood and then find ourselves naturally gravitating toward Magnolia Bakery for a delicious break. One of the things I appreciate most about this location is what you see the moment you step inside. The bakery has an open, inviting setup that allows customers to look directly into the baking area. For me, this is such a meaningful detail. Seeing the bakers at work, mixing, assembling, crafting everything by hand, reinforces the authenticity of the entire experience. It gives me confidence in the quality and freshness of what we're eating, and it creates a sense of connection to the craftsmanship behind every cake, pudding, and pastry. You can tell that things here are genuinely made from scratch, and that alone sets the tone for how special this place feels. The ambiance of the bakery is another reason we keep coming back. As a family, we love spaces that feel warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed, and Magnolia Bakery hits all of those marks. The interior décor has a charming, almost nostalgic aesthetic that creates a comforting mood the moment you walk in. Beyond that, there are several seating options available inside, which is perfect for us. After spending hours walking around the city, shopping, or sightseeing, being able to sit down, relax, and enjoy our treats becomes a much‑needed part of the day. Whether we're sharing different desserts, reviewing our shopping finds, or simply resting our feet, the space adds to the joy of the visit. The service style here is pretty straightforward, and honestly, that's something I genuinely appreciate. It's a typical bakery setup: you line up, scan through the display case filled with cakes, pastries, puddings, and seasonal items, make your selections, and pay right away. The simplicity of the process makes everything move smoothly. There's no rush, but there's also no confusion, just an easy, clean system that gets you from craving to enjoying your dessert in a matter of minutes. Although the line can sometimes get long, especially during peak hours or weekends, we have been lucky in that our visits almost always fall on weekdays. Because of that timing, we rarely encounter significant wait times. Even when the line does look a little long, it tends to move at a reasonable pace because of how efficiently the staff works. And honestly, even if we did have to wait, the smell of freshly baked goods and the anticipation of that first bite make the wait feel more than worth it. Overall, Magnolia Bakery has become one of those places that holds a special place in our hearts. It's not just about the banana pudding, though that will always be the star, it's about the atmosphere, the quality, the consistency, and the memories we associate with every visit. Each experience there adds something new to our affection for the place, which is why we continue returning again and again. We absolutely love this bakery, and we recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone visiting Chicago. Whether you're a dessert enthusiast, a banana pudding lover, or simply someone looking for a delightful spot to relax and treat yourself, Magnolia Bakery is an experience you shouldn't miss.
