Kristoffer's Cakes - Abuelita Tres Leches Cake Slice - Custom Cakes Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came in today! To pick up a delivery and as I was waiting I picked up the Oreo tres leches slice and chocolate abuelita slice! And it was just the most Amazing flavor ! Wasn't too sweet was just perfect! Will definitely be coming back! Gentle man was very sweet and nice! Very beautiful location read more

We love the cakes here and the family behind the business is super friendly and deserving of all of their business and the praise they get for these delicious cakes. I love that they have an amazing offering of different cakes, from their famous tres leches in so many different flavors, to carrot cake, chocoflan and more. Our go to's are the coconut tres leches, mango, and caramel tres leches. But, we've ordered the carrot cake before and have gotten amazing feedback at our parties. Whichever cake you pick, it'll be fresh and will look so pretty you won't even want to cut it. Personally, I'm very indecisive and when all the cakes are so good here, I always try to order a couple of smaller options and try a bit of everything. That's another plus here - they have various sizes of most of their cakes so you can get a little something for everyone. It is so tempting to stop by for a slice every time I'm in the area. They have a great online ordering option and are always very accommodating with orders. I highly recommend Kristoffer's for any of your dessert needs or cravings! read more

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. read more

Such a clean and welcoming place! This is a true hidden gem!

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. read more

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! read more

Since I found this business, it has never let me down. This is my Togo place when I have a birthday party, anniversary, and special holidays. I recommend the tres leches- coconut! It's 10000/10 read more

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. read more

Kristoffer's Cakes - 6" Vanilla Tres Leches with vanilla frosting - Custom Cakes Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

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! read more

I've been to Kristoffer's Cake a few times and tried their tres leches and carrot cake. Both were stellar, and the staff were incredibly sweet and helpful. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area! read more

I recently moved into the area and was thinking of what take to a friend's for dinner. I saw the bakery was in walking distance and specialized in Tres Leche cakes. It was an easy decision. I grabbed 2 abuelitas, 1 cappuccino, 1 coco, 1 chocolate, and a chocoflan. Christina, the owner, es una maravilla. She's really friendly and attentive. Walking in, that bright shop, you feel her orgullo to her patria. You can taste it too. This is truly a different Tres Leche cake. Do yourself the favor and stop by for a slice or 3. It's a whole mood. I'll say this. The slices were placed on plates, forks were everywhere and then it's was done. I'll obviously be back. read more

I have been doing keto for over a year and my birthday was coming up. I searched for a keto bakery in the city and Kristoffer's Cakes came up. I ordered the keto chocoflan, the keto raspberry cheesecake and keto bagels. I can say that all of the keto baked goods where delicious and my family couldn't even tell They where keto. Everything was a hit, we loved the chocoflan and the cheesecake, I haven't had such tasty treats in a long time. I will be buying keto treats from Kristoffer's cakes as long as they have them, thanks for making a healthier version of such delicious desserts read more

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! read more

I can not emphasize enough how great the service and cakes are from here! I ordered the 10-inch abuelita flavored tres leches and it was a huge hit. I've had many tres leches cakes and Kristoffer's has the best. Sooo many people came up to me and told me it was one of the, if not the, best cakes they've ever had. I was so happy with it. Their service while ordering and picking up the cake was nice and uncomplicated too. The location is a small and cozy bakery. Will continue ordering from them for all the cake occasions. read more

The staff at Kristoffer's was so friendly and accommodating! We needed a cake for a camping trip and since we couldn't refrigerate it had to be non-tres leches. They made us a delicious chocolate cake with strawberry filling, colorful sprinkles and homemade frosting. Everyone loved it! We also are lactose intolerant so although the tres leches cake is amazing, it's nice to know they have alternative cakes. We will be ordering from them for celebrations from now on! Oh and their tamales, croissants and cookies are also worth a visit. read more

I'm totally a fan! My favorite had to be the RumChata tres leches slice. They also have great breakfast sandwiches. I remember walking up to the door about 5 minutes after closing time and Kris opened the door without hesitation. At no time did he make me feel bad about coming at the last minute. At that, he was as friendly as always, asking me if I wanted to try some of the samples that they had out for customers to try out. Love this place and definitely recommend, if you live or if you visit the neighborhood often definitely try Kristoffer's Cakes read more

Low key bakery at the corner. Lovely decoration inside. All kinds of tre leches cakes ,if you are a fan of those you gotta try this place. Very nice and welcoming people too. A small local business that adds value to the neighborhood.

Had never heard of this place until a friend had us over for dinner and introduced us to their outstanding strawberry tres Leche cake. It is so very good! Tasty, moist, delicious all words to describe. I drove 25 minutes to find this gem and it was well worth the effort. They have an assortment of flavors by the slice to choose from. I also tried the coconut and it was awesome. I called ahead to special order the strawberry. You can also place orders online. Very friendly and helpful service! You are in for a treat! read more

I ordered a vanilla with chocolate frosting and a coconut tres leches cakes for my sister's shower. The cakes looked beautiful!! Everyone, including my mom ( who makes a delicious tres leches cake) raved about how moist and delicious they were. The cakes were just the right amount of moist. Not dry and not soggy...they were perfect! I received several requests the next day for Kristoffer's contact. There was a bit of a confusion with ther place on 18th, but it was cleared up. The owners were great to work with and took my last minute order. I will definitely order my cakes from them in the future. read more

Stopped by to get a tres leches cake yesterday for my mother in law. Also picked up a couple blueberry muffins, a couple brownies and an apple juice! A nice lady, apparently a regular, told me ALL the cakes are wonderful, she's had them all. My mother in law says the cake we gave her was very good, and she knows good tres leche! I didn't get to try that cake but I'll definitely stop by again for a slice and some coffee! The muffins and brownies were delicious as well and the place was very clean. They also serve other pastry items, a small lunch menu, coffee and various beverages. There's plenty of seating and what looks like a party area in the back (I didn't ask.) Definitely looking forward to supporting this McKinley Park business! read more

I was in Chicago for a week on vacation and ordered a rumchata tres leches cake for my friends birthday. When ordered online, the process was very easy and clear. Unfortunately, my train got delayed and I had to call to change the pick up time to the next morning. The person on the phone was super kind and understanding, and when i arrived for pickup the next morning the woman at the counter knew exactly who i was. The pick up process was easy and she gave us advice on how to serve the cake and provided us with a serving knife/spatula. The cake itself was absolutely delicious. It didn't taste at all like the flavors were fighting against the rumchata. The slight liquor taste was well incorporated and added to the overall deliciousness. My friends and I all loved it. Would love to order from them again on a future trip! read more

First of all this place has fantastic service. I walked in & the gentleman there greeted me with a smile & he just gave the best service ever. I placed an order for pickup & my order was ready at the exact time I chose. No earlier no later. The cake was even better. I was so excited to try it because of the good reviews and the reviews were right. The cake was so good it was the perfect consistency and had a lot of flavor. I tried the vanilla tres leches and it was so good. I also had the horchata latte which was also fantastic. Will definitely go back and this time try new flavors of the tres leches. Great service + great food!! :) read more

Very professional and friendly family owned business. They had a huge variety of tres leches flavors!

I've been waiting for a legit coffee shop to open up since moving to McKinley Park 3 years ago and it's finally here. Really excited to see this family business thrive. They're serving up a small menu of coffee/espresso drinks and some out of this world homemade pastries and cakes. Skip the Dunkin' Donuts down the street and spend your money at a small business, you won't regret it! read more
