    Perfect location across from the AMC River East so stopped in for a quick pre-movie snack. Tried their chicken pesto n goat cheese flatbread and a sugar mochi donut...perfect pre-movie snack Remember, this is a bakery so don't go in ordering a flatbread and expecting it to be on a traditional crust. Their chicken pesto n goat cheese is on a puff pastry which was actually really nice because it wasn't too filling yet very satisfying. And the sugar mochi donut was a great way to end my pre-movie snack lol.

    chocolate chiffon cake

    Not my favorite chocolate cake but this is personal preference because I love chocolatey desserts (Korean desserts tend to be natural I believe). The cake was still soft and moist, and it was beautiful. I'm glad I got to try it due to its vitality. Interior is cute and clean. Service is fast.

    Nice location. Clean. Bright and has a wide selection of delicious looking pastries. Coffee is solid and the cups right up my alley. Firm. Strong and secure. Friendly workers make it a nice place for a quick snack.

    Always been a fan of this establishment. Usually go to the one inside the asian market. My favorite items if the Ham and Cheese Pastry. So I had to do two of these as they make the perfect lunch or breakfast. My plan will be to eat for lunch tomorrow with a side of Bean Soup. Anyway on to the sweets. For dessert we picked a mini strawberry soft cream cake to share. My husband also grabbed a croissant donut. All in all, it was delicious. The price point was slightly higher than the one inside the Asian market. Quality was good overall and the drink menu was innovative. Definitely a nice cute bakery addition to the this neighborhood. They had seating inside but also a robust patio seating area. Would be a nice place to enjoy a good cup of coffee and pastry.

    Not only is this place always squeaky clean, every time I stop in the employees are all extremely kind! I can't recommend the chocolate cake or the coffee croissant donut here enough! Run, don't walk! As a donut connoisseur I can tell you this is one of the best donuts I've ever had in my life! It's fluffy, light, crispy on the outside but doughy and soft on the inside. The coffee flavor isn't over powering and the inside is filled with a deliciousssss cream! Pure heaven!!!!! The coffee here is also amazing! Lavazza brand so expect a nice strong Italian coffee. Love that they have sugar free vanilla syrup!

    This bakery always seems to find ME wherever I go! I don't understand it! Self serve location located downtown with an array of yummy pastries and to go food in the cold box. You walk in, grab a tray and wax paper and have at it! I got my goodies to go, but I'm pretty sure if you ask nicely the staff will warm your order for you. I don't recall seeing a microwave but it may be one out for general use. I will ALWAYS stop at Paris Baguette whenever I'm visiting a place..( well it comes to me)!

    Very clean inside with large selection. Pastries made on site. You grab a tray and select day you want. They also serve coffee and matcha. The caramel pretzel flat pastry was so delicious. Prices were reasonable for downtown.

    From savory to sweet, there is something for everyone here. For the past 2 months on our vacation, we come here at least every other day. We found the coffee and cappuccinos to be very good even decaffeinated, which is not always the case. Everything we have eaten from sweets (such cookies, cakes, donuts, etc ) and savory (sandwiches, flatbreads, etc) are very good to excellent. They will even warm up your item if you want. While I didn't love everything I tried (some dessert were just too sweet for me), the variety is extensive and everyone will find at least 1 dessert that they will love. There are many creative items not usually found in all bakeries. See pictures. Please note that there is a cut-off time of when they replenish your favorite dessert, so make sure to come earlier in the day. We have frequented the store after dinner and before they close and found the shelves to be pretty empty. Regardless, we don't go away empty handed and always find a new item we may not have tried. There are long lines during specific rush hours such as mornings and weekends but the checkout process is efficient. Even when busy, the staff makes sure your bake good are well boxed. The restaurant has tables inside and outside. Even when busy, we were able to find seats.

    We stopped by super early on a Sunday morning (about 7:30) to grab some breakfast to go. I had looked at the menu online and was disappointed to see they had a very limited selection ready at that time. We got the following, which they offered to heat for us but we declined since we were not eating them right away. Ham & Cheese Pastry - very light on the ham and cheese, but the pastry had a really good cheesy flavor. Chocolate Croissant - nice chocolate drizzle but again very little chocolate on the inside. Raspberry Almond Croissant - so good. The best of all three. Flaky croissant with good raspberry flavor. Good but not great pastries that have me reminiscing about my trip to France last summer. Oh, and Diet Coke in a bottle. Like a genie in a bottle.

    I so wish we had one of these in Omaha, I would be here all the time. The pastries were abso-freaking-lutely amazing. Whether your taste is savory or sweet they'll have something for you no matter what!

    Pasteries. Ham & Cheese Pastry, Twisted Donut, Pain au Chocolat
    Alejandra H.

    Stopped by for a nice, casual breakfast, and all the pastries looked delicious. We tried the ham and potato pastry, pain au chocolat, and a twisty donut. We also ordered a vanilla cold brew and a cookie butter iced latte. The staff were kind and asked if we wanted our pastries warmed up, to which we, of course, said yes. Unfortunately, the pastries came out only slightly warm, with the centers still cold. The donut was even tough to chew. The coffees were okay; however, they were a bit too sweet for our taste. This, along with the fact that someone spilled an entire coffee on the floor and no staff came to clean it, brought down our rating. Some customers didn't notice and were walking right through the spill.

    Obsessed with everything about Paris Baguette! We arrived fairly early for morning coffee and pastries. It was nice and quiet at the time we went. There were plenty of delicious pastries to choose from. We really struggled to pick just 3. I loved that we were able to walk around and serve ourselves whatever we wanted out of the cases. After you choose your goodies, you head up front to pay. We also ordered a couple hot lattes which paired perfectly with our pastries. We picked out a raspberry almond croissant, cream filled donut, and hash brown ham and cheese bread. We really enjoyed everything we tried. My personal favorite was the raspberry almond croissant. I'm posting this review a month late, but I have thought about this fantastic little cafe so many times since our trip to Chicago last month. I will be dreaming of the next time I get to stop into a Paris Baguette!

    Pistachio latte and croissant
    Ali P.

    Absolutely must have when you're in the city! Came early morning to get some baked goods. They had so many options for baked goods -breads, sweets, savories, etc and coffee. We got a bag full of pastries-pistachio croissant, chocolate croissants, ham baked item, and a pistachio latte. We loved everything. The staff are friendly and efficient here in getting your items to you. The only downside is the place is quite small but it's a great option for take away.

    This is my absolute most favorite bakery. So this is my ode to the bakery and Dom, who is a gem of…read morean employee there. I've been a customer of almost 10 years and have been obsessed since they first opened their doors at a different location. I literally live an hour away without traffic and even longer with traffic, but I make sure to stop by or send someone else to get it for me at least once a month or more. I love the amazing cakes that are so delicious and unique but on top of that, it is Asian owned, LGBTQ supporting, etc. A lot has changed since their little storefront with no seating. The bakery is now a full on cafe and I'm so happy to see how much they've grown and how successful they are. And while it is glorious, I will say I miss the sweet neighborhood charm and great customer service it used to have. Getting in touch with the bakery through phone or text can be tough and to be honest, sometimes one of the people working there is kind of...very mean. It had me questioning if I should keep coming back. I just love this bakery so much though and being raised by parents that had a small food business, I can't help but want to support. I had a particularly difficult last minute request for the bakery a few weeks ago and I was reminded why this place is so great. It had been YEARS since I made this specific request, which was an order for a slice of cake for every flavor and a cupcake for every flavor. This is a BIG and time consuming request, especially if it's last minute. Unfortunately I come to the city whenever the traffic isn't atrocious, so it's always last minute. Dom absolutely pulled through though. Even though there were other employees there (I saw two others but one disappeared and then another male was kind of walking around the cafe and such), Dom took this giant request and fulfilled it himself. The other gentleman (not the mean person previously mentioned) was actually who I made the request to, but he told Dom to do it. I was kind of confused why they didn't do it together but idk, maybe the other guy isn't allowed to handle food? Who knows. Regardless, this request obviously took a long time and the line was getting longer; people were getting a little restless but Dom stayed calm but was swift. I swear he was moving faster than most people in the industry could with a cake knife like that. He was not impatient or rude to me at all. He was just there to do his job as fast and well as possible. It's so rare to see that type of work ethic. He is also so obviously proud of the bakery and the food they serve which makes you feel good about being a patron there. So although I continue to have an unpleasant experience with one particular employee there, Dom keeps my love for this bakery alive. He reminds me of what this bakery was like when they first opened their doors. I hope Dom is cherished there and I bet he is considering his work ethic. I will continue to support this bakery and I recommend everyone else to support as well. It may not be that small little shop anymore but Dom is a reminder of the heart of the place.

For my…read morefirst visit, I decided to go all in on the ube theme and tried the Purple Velvet Cake paired with an Ube Latte. The Purple Velvet Cake was scrumptious! It's made with ube chiffon cake, macapuno (coconut) filling, and ube mousse. As soon as I took a bite, the cake practically melted in my mouth, it was so light, soft, and delicious! The slice was also a generous portion and was plenty to share with my husband and toddler, who couldn't get enough of it. The Ube Latte was also really good and paired perfectly with the cake. They have such a great variety of treats, including cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and so much more. I especially love that they incorporate popular Filipino flavors like ube and pandan, and I even spotted a seasonal calamansi offering. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back for more! There's still so much to try at Jennivee's Bakery, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

    Designer Food, Pinoy Inspired…read more Earlier this month with my mom, my Pinoy heart was incredibly satisfied to find steamed rice in a TWO Star Michelin tasting menu! A chance to sample Kasama, was a very good reason to revisit Chicago. The last time I was here, I went to Alinea, a formerly THREE Star Michelin restaurant (demoted to TWO). Never have I ever thought back then that I will come back to have Michelin-starred Philippine flavors in this city. Kasama offers a 13-course tasting menu, the only TWO Star Michelin restaurant that serves Phil-inspired creative dishes in the world. It was the first Filipino restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star, &one of only 4 Chicago restaurants with TWO stars out of the over 7.5 K licensed restaurants. To put that in perspective, there are over 18k restaurants in NYC's 5 boros. Only 52 have ONE Star,15 have TWO and 5 with THREE Michelin Stars, none served Phil-inspired food. In recently Michelin mapped Manila, only one has TWO Star. It doesn't cook Phil-inspired food despite its location. kasama named each creative course after a Philippine dish. Plates were called "kinilaw", "pulutan","adobo," (menu in picture) that was lovingly nostalgic of the dish it referenced. It's the essence, the unique flavors of each dish that's evoked, reminding me of that hearty dish. I recognize sinigang, but it's not sinigang. As each dish is presented, its inspiration and origin is explained. For a Filipino diner, it's warmly familiar; For those whose cultural experience is different, it's an excellent intro to the unique Phil flavors presented artfully in a form meant for haute diners. I am super proud! We met Chef Tim and wife, Korean-American pastry Chef Gwen. The chef de cuisine is the cutesie Fil-Am Chef Scott Pamatmat (watch out, foodies and ladies! He will be next in line). Thank you, Angelo &Molly. P.S. Some Pinoys say, "My friend said it wasn't worth it. The line was too long." then gives out that all-knowing disgusted face& disdain w/out even having tried the ACTUAL tasting menu. The critical acclaim isn't for bfast that probably pays for the rent. The stars are for the tasting menu for dinner. #curious_eater #kasama

We got there 10 minutes before opening and were second in line. We even saw the first customer get a free drink, which was such a nice touch. The space feels really welcoming and homey, and I loved the aesthetic. There are only 3 tables though, so seating is limited. The Banana Bread (9.9/10) was ON CLOUD 9. So moist and chocolatey, with a light chocolate cream and roasted candied pecans that had the perfect crunch. Absolutely loved this one. The Raspberry Cinnamon Roll with Espresso Cream Cheese (9/10) had a nice laminated pastry and espresso cream wasn't overly sweet. Such a good combo. The Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Danish (9/10) tasted like a chocolate fudge danish topped with cookies and cream, which I loved. It had the firmest shell of the pastries we got and that extra crunch was perfect. The Hot Dog Pastry (8.5/10) was super flaky, and I loved the crunchy pieces on top. The Guava Custard Danish (8/10) had a great guava flavor and was solid. The Breakfast Pastry (8/10) had hashbrown, ham, and cheese inside a flaky crust. It was a really good flaky breakfast sandwich and WAY better heated up. The Atomic Cake (7/10) had vanilla cake, banana, strawberry cream, cheesecake, chocolate, and a light whipped cream topping.

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.

    We came by about 20 minutes before opening, and was inside around 40 minutes after. The line moved…read morefairly quickly. Interior is very small, so only a few can fit inside. However, they don't rush you when you're inside at all so you can take your time to look through the options. What I love about Sugar Moon is all of their pastries are very unique. They have great flavor combinations beyond the usual selection of laminated pastries. There was extensive savory options as well. I loved their focaccia bread. I've had some weird options at other bakeries (Kasama looking at you) but I genuinely enjoyed eating everything at Sugar Moon even if they were an interesting mix of flavors There is a lot of hyped bakeries in Chicago right now but Sugar Moon is absolutely worth the line.

    Is it worth the hype?? It sure is hard to argue against it. We came on a Friday around 10am and…read moretook us about 30 minutes to get our order in and our food. Street parking wasn't too bad, and my wife got coffee up the block while I waited. Their menu rotates often so here's what we got (and I may be getting my pastry names wrong here): Espresso cornflake cookie Smores cookie Banana pudding croissant Jalapeno cheddar galette Southwest brioche Miso mushroom brioche There's a bit of outdoor seating around the corner from the cafe. Honestly? Not a miss among them. Just reading that list again is making my tummy grumble, and everything was chock full of flavor and toppings. Maybe we ordered too much this trip since my preschooler wouldn't touch the spicy stuff, and no way I was giving them a coffee cookie, but otherwise everything was perfectly soft and a great start to our day in the city. Hard to say if it beats the other popular bakeries in the city, but really we're all winners with so many great spots around now.

The cake tasting was a wonderful experience, giving us plenty of delicious options to choose from while helping us create the perfect cake for our special day. Throughout the entire process, their communication was outstanding. They kept us informed every step of the way and worked directly with our wedding venue, "Firehouse Chicago", to coordinate the delivery and logistics. Everything was handled seamlessly, and our cake arrived exactly as planned without a single issue. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Bittersweet's professionalism, organization, and proactive approach gave us one less thing to worry about. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellent customer service truly stood out. One feature we especially love is that they keep the recipe and design of your wedding cake on file. Every anniversary, they can recreate your wedding cake or a cake in any size you choose. We've continued this tradition, and each anniversary cake has been just as delicious as the original while bringing back wonderful memories of our wedding day. If you're looking for a bakery that is responsive, dependable, and delivers an outstanding product, I highly recommend Bittersweet Bakery for your wedding cake or any bakery needs. They responded promptly to our questions and requests, unlike some businesses that never replied to estimate inquiries. Their customer service and quality were truly exceptional. A heartfelt thank you to Samuel who conducted the Cake Tasting and the entire staff at Bittersweet Bakery for helping make our dream wedding a reality. We will always be grateful and look forward to celebrating many more anniversaries with your incredible cakes.

The quiche is always fantastic, and anything out of the pastry case is a must. Drinks are good as well! Such a cozy spot to grab coffee with a friend (or give in to the temptation of snagging a pastry on your way to the brown line)

    Finally had a chance to check out D'amato's in River West. They are apparently remodeling so…read morethey're a bit more limited in what they have available but it was a line out the door when I came by, decided to try a chicken vodka sauce parmesan sandwich and a meatball sub. Also took home chicken cutlets with rigatoni, a loaf of fresh sourdough and two big canolis. Neededless to say, this place is legit!! I will definitely swing back in in a few weeks when the restaurant reopens. Yelp tip: the restaurant is in one side of the street and the pickup and wholesale is directly across the street. You feel like you are standing inside the kitchen, very cool.

    Okay, y'all are going to have to bear with me on this one…read more Back in the day, I was such a fan of D'Amato's Bakery. They had everything you wanted when it came to a sandwich. Hot or cold, you got exactly what you were asking for. On this particular day, I was pretty much undecided on what to eat when a friend suggested D'Amato's. I hadn't had them since I moved away, so I was looking forward to reliving some food memories. They have a new place, but the same menu and maybe even some of the same people. All I knew was that I was excited to have them again. How it went so wrong so fast, I'm still not sure. I ordered a chicken parm for myself and a turkey club for my friend. What I got was a chicken parm and a Caesar club. Strike one. Unfortunately, things didn't get much better from there. The chicken parm was gritty and mostly crust, with hardly any chicken. My friend said the Caesar club wasn't good at all. They told me I should go back and get my money, but honestly, I chalked it up to them being in a new place and maybe still getting used to their surroundings. I think part of me just couldn't believe that a place I remembered so fondly had taken such a turn for the worse. I couldn't even bring myself to go back and face them. I can't say I'll be going back anytime soon. Somewhere, an angel just lost its wings.
