    A great little bakery with super friendly staff. If you like tree leches (or if you've never tried tres leches) this is really the spot for you! They sell whole cakes, custom cakes, a bunch of flavors of individual cake slices, and even some baking supplies. I love getting individual slices with friends so that everyone can get their favorite. They also have rotating flavors so you won't get bored.

    Oreo Tres Leches Cake
    Farid A.

    I came from out of town to celebrate my fiancés birthday and was looking for a good place that sells tres leches and I'm soooo glad I chose this location! Definitely the best tres leches cake we've ever had! Even from the beginning, the customer service was outstanding. This place is beyond a 5 star

    horchata and americano
    Matthew P.

    holy sh*t went there at ~2PM and ordered hoechata and americano and a chocolate covered tres leches cake and holy sh*t. great service, they offered to write a message on the cake and i declined. in hindsight, I should have asked them to put "Chicagoland's Best Tres Leches" in bold letters on the top. alas, I didn't realize what i was getting until i had it. they also gave us complimentary cake tops that they shave off to make the tres leches. it went perfectly with the horchata. and i mean literally perfectly. I could have that drink/cake combo every day of the week. im not exaggerating.

    Rumchata tres leches
    Michelle G.

    I heard about this place through the South Side Weekly, which has generally done a great job of steering me in food directions (and other directions, it's a great paper). I also was familiar with the place because I think I've walked by the Pilsen spot that they used to own (they've since sold it and opened this one in McKinley Park) and have seen the name of their bakery many times. I didn't realize how close to me this place was until I was walking home from yummy gorditas, and even though I wasn't hungry, I knew my belly (and my heart) would appreciate me later for grabbing a yummy slice of cake as a snack for the afternoon. They mostly had different kinds of tres leches cakes, although I think I noticed they also sell tamales and some other desserts. I wasn't sure what I wanted because everything looked delicious, so I chatted with the guy behind the counter who turned out to be the owner. Apparently, when they first started out, Kristoffer was a baby who they named their bakery for, and now he's old enough to be making these cakes himself. I love a good family-owned business. I let him guide me through their selection, and ultimately he recommended the rumchata tres leches cake. I love horchata, and solidly like rumchata, and this was delicious. You could definitely taste the rum, but not in an overpowering way if you're not a big fan of rum. I definitely want to try their other flavors. I honestly feel a little bad because the owner said if I see you back again, I'll know you like it, and I haven't been back because if I ate their cake as much as I wanted, I'd balloon. So please - go for me!

    6" Vanilla Tres Leches with vanilla frosting

    I love this Tres Leche cake and so do all my friends and family! I don't live close, but it is worth the long drive. You can never go wrong with the classic vanilla, I have had nearly all the other flavors. My second favorite flavor is definitely the cappuccino. I will be back to try the rest soon.

    Egg & Cheese Breakfast Croissant with FREE 10 oz. Coffee  (for Lunch!)
    Christine B.

    Love at first sight and bite--Kristoffer's Cakes, a Cafe and Bakery is my new love interest!! Since I noticed Kristoffer's on Yelp a few months ago, I have been wanting to stop by. After I left the McKinley Park Farmers Market, I decided to take some photos for my review of the neighborhood. I figured I would work my way east to Kristoffer's. While taking photos of Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, which is a half block south of Kristoffer's, I met up with a friend. Turns out she had just left Kristoffer's! Not only did my friend sing the praises of this newer neighborhood Cafe and Bakery, she walked back to the Cafe with me. She introduced me to THE Kristoffer. He is the son of the owners and a very nice young man. I also met the owners. Everyone was so very nice and welcoming. The Cafe itself is roomy and comfortable and has a nice vibe. There are tables along an aisle that leads to the back of the Cafe. There is a party/meeting room straight back and the restrooms are to the right. The ladies room was very pleasant and for those of you like myself and my Yelper friend, Ted K--they have paper towels! NICE, quality paper towels! My friend recommended - - EVERYTHING! I decided on the Breakfast Croissant with egg and cheese and it was quite tasty and satisfying. I also wanted COFFEE - - and was quite delighted to find out that a 10 Oz. cup of coffee is FREE with the breakfast sandwich! And it was a VERY good cup of coffee. : ) With beautiful weather, a great morning and this fine lunch at Kristoffer's could my day get any better?? Oh, yeah! - - I got a slice of Carrot Cake to take home- - and happily devoured it when I got there!! The Carrot Cake was sooo good! A great way to end a perfect day!

    Mint Chocolate Chip Tres Leches slice
    Carrie W.

    I've been there twice so far and can't say enough great things about this new addition to the neighborhood! On my first visit I tried the Abuelita tres leches cake and the chocoflan. The abuelita cake was amazing! Perfect amount of tres leches in it and topped with a light whip cream! The chocolate part of the chocoflan was moist and so fresh! On my second visit I had the Rumchata tres leches cake. Again..it was amazing! Tasted exactly like rumchata, so if you are a fan of that you will love this cake. I also bought the mint chocolate chip tres leches cake. It's a little on the richer side and very chocolatey, which was perfect for me! Both times the lady owner helped me and she was so nice! They also sell cookies, muffins, tamales and a few other things. I haven't had a chance to try any of it yet besides the tres leches cake. You will not regret going there!

    Chefs Bayless and Davila recommend Kristoffer's Tres Leches.  I will now have a benchmark to compare other versions to, delicioso!

When it comes to scheduling, Kort and his team also has your back! Super friendly and generous too! This is beyond any customer service or any bakery I've ever been to with such a good service. I'm blown away by him and his team. Thank you so much for making my cake on such short notice & all the time changes. I ordered a strawberry shortcake w/ vanilla buttercream cake last year and it was so beautiful too; very simple yet intricate and lovely design with roses & macaroons. I told him on short notice(literally the day of) to make the cake & he managed to make it look so beautiful. The pink cake was my first cake I've ever purchased from him, a bit out of my price range, but I heard his cakes were good! So if I was rating on design, 11/10, it's top notch! The flavor wasn't perfect for my family. I had put the cake in the fridge and when I went to cut it; it was super hard and it wasn't pleasant. The flavor was missing something and we really didn't do much with the cake. I've always put cake in the fridge and I should've asked before I left, but I didn't. So I told Kort(Owner) about the cake and he offered to compensate me a new cake which a year later; I got this cake for my mom! So today; we celebrated my moms birthday which is on Friday. I ordered basically the same cake since my mom really enjoys fruit / strawberry cake. I ordered with him one week prior (Jan 28)to my moms birthday(Feb 7th ) to make this cake. Initially it's scheduled to be picked up on the 7th, but I told him I needed the cake by the 6th: time rolled around and the day before I celebrated my moms birthday; she said we were celebrating it on the 5th. So the night before that, I told him I needed the cake by the 5th and he managed ONCE again t make this cake on such a tight schedule. I know I haven't been the best customer, but I really appreciate his efforts to make things right & helping us create something beautiful for my mom's birthday. The cake is the same, but I think there's a custard-curd filling which my family really enjoyed. A strawberry shortcake with vanilla buttercream. It was maybe a bit sweet, cake was dense a little bit, but that's okay! We've never had cream like this before, and it was strange to begin with, but it's super creamy and tasty!! Flavor was pretty good! My family really enjoyed lit and really loved the artwork(flowers) as decorations. I didn't put the cake in the fridge and I'm glad it turned out well! We didn't see how the cake looked like until we opened the box, so it was such a beautiful surprise to look at the lovely cake. Everything's fresh, even the flowers, and designs; so beautiful work I'm super impressed with how it turned out & i would definitely go back to Kort for cakes especially for his customer service & his gorgeous designs. :) Design : 11/10! Taste/Texture: 9/10 Customer service : 15/10 if I could! To sum up, it was a beautiful cake, beautiful even layers, beautiful designs, and I loved it. Thank you for making my mom's birthday a blast! She's going to use these roses for something special. This place makes these designs unlike any other bakery or cake place I've bought from. If you want great service & high quality fresh ingredients, tasty cakes & lovely designs, I definitely would recommend Kort! Thank you once again for all you've done for me and my family with the cake! We appreciate this more than you know and I definitely look forward to buying cakes or others in the future! :)

From here, you can tweak the design and change the colors, the size, pick your cake flavor, add your text (to the cake or the board) and add your fillings. This is all at a set price. There are some upsells available if you want to add some more wow-factor elements to your cake. These included details like metallic piping, glitter, pressed flowers, cherries, and more. Their list of available cake flavors and fillings is way more varied than I anticipated, which was a huge plus. I went with a classic red velvet and a raspberry ganache filling (with add-ons of glitter and cherries). The staff went above and beyond to help. They emailed me to confirm the decoration vibes that I was aiming for, which made me super excited to see what they created. Pick-up was a breeze. They were super flexible about my pick up time, which was nice. The My Chemical Romance inspired cake they created was stunning. Honestly, this was the prettiest cake I've ever ordered. I also appreciated their heads-up that the buttercream isn't super sweet, which was perfect for us because it didn't overpower the cake. The cake itself was super moist and the raspberry filling was so fluffy, it was delicious. It was a truly impressive experience from start to finish, and I'd order from them again in a heartbeat!
