There is a reason this place is soooo popular and has a line out the door right when they open. It is AMAZING! All their pastries are fresh and made with seasonal ingredients so you will always be getting something new. I got there 30 mins after they opened and had to wait outside for around 15 mins but the line does move fast. There is very limited seating inside so plan to just grab and go. I tried their banana pudding croissant and raspberry scone. The croissant melted in my mouth, it was so flakey and buttery. The raspberry scone was soft and sweet enough. Awesome spot in Logan Square! One of my favorite bakeries in Chicago. read more

The best bakery in Chicago hands down. I feel like a lot of people don't know about this place but it is so busy even with the group that does! Definitely deserves all the hype it gets. This is the place I miss most from when I lived in Chicago. The staff is super friendly and the pastries and so unique. Their pastries rotate a lot but if you like banana you must get the banana pudding croissant it's incredible! Definitely get there early- even before open there is a line (worth it!) and they are only open until they sell out. read more

What a fun treat -- As an avid sweet treat tasted this place was so fun! Walked in on a Thursday morning and they had most items in stock and the goodies were so yummy. I appreciate they had a large savory section. My favorite was the bacon brioche and savory scone. I loved it all-- I went back and got one of each cookie to take home to Denver. Will be enjoyed for a solo Valentine's Day! Super small bakery -- 4 bar stools and minimal standing room. So i can imagine it gets incredibly busy on the weekends The ladies helping were so sweet -- loved it all!! read more

I came during a rainy day in hopes the lines would be shorter - there was still a long line and once I tried their pastries, I knew why! They were large and delicious, and each one was so unique. They ran out of the tiramisu cookies which I was so sad about but we got a mix of savory and sweet options and I really enjoyed all of them. They were really dense pastries too, so it took me awhile to finish but I feel like I really got what I paid for. read more

This is a top tier Chicago bakery!!! We got lucky getting in with no line (we did go pretty early to opening on a negative wind chill day though), but I would come back here and wait through the line any day for their treats and kind staff I would definitely the Jalapeño Popper and the Potato Focaccia again, but probably would pass on the Tiramisu Cloud Cookie and the Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookie. The inside is small but quaint, definitely more of a takeout spot but there are a few bar like seats near the windows! read more

This place is amazing. I got a lot of things and they were all good. Their savory items are must have. I tried the brioches and they were all so fresh with a little crisp on the outside. The braised pork one was my favorite. They also had a large selection of gourmet cookies, I loved the espresso chocolate one. Service was great, staff were very nice and friendly. They greeted me and helped me pick out my items. They also take Apple Pay. The store is pretty small on the inside but very cutely decorated. They had water available. Not a huge area to sit though. Definitely recommend. read more

Was hoping that this spot was not all hype and I can confirm, it is indeed NOT just hype! Delicious pastries that tasted so fresh and are made with high quality ingredients. We tried an assortment but the faves included the chai spice roll, the strawberry pretzel croissant, the pistachio cake with chocolate frosting, and the poblano brioche. I have a big sweet tooth but the savory pastry really wowed me! The space is small but there is a great selection from which to choose. The staff were very friendly and we will definitely be back to try more soon! read more

Sugar Moon Bakery - My favorite baker, Ivy! - Bakeries Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Sugar Moon is one of those places I told myself to visit once the hype dies down. Well the hype never died down so I decided to try it out and wait in line anyways. I was skeptical but it's worth it, especially on a nice cool fall day. Necessary and sufficient coffee is also down the block so you can grab a drink while waiting in line. I got there 15 min after opening and got inside 30 minutes later. Everything was amazing and the price is very reasonable for the quality and flavor. I got veggie focaccia, chocolate chip tahini cookie, sweet scone, veggie gallete, and the chai spice roll. My favorite was the spice roll! Service is extremely quick friendly. One of the best, if not the best bakeries I've tried in the city! Pro tip, go on Friday to avoid the long lines. There is minimal seating so expect to take most pastries to go. read more

Based on the reviews, we arrived around 8:30 to get in line. We ended up being first, but it was a snowy morning--by 9:00 the line was already long. The bakery itself looked and smelled amazing. It's primarily a pickup spot, with only about four seats inside. The staff was very friendly, and we tried a handful of items: the tiramisu cookie, chai bun, pizza focaccia, poblano brioche, and the London fog basque cheesecake. Everything was good, but nothing really stood out as spectacular or worth a 30-minute wait. The tiramisu cookie was definitely the highlight. I'd consider going back, but probably only once the hype dies down and the line isn't as long. read more

Yeah this place is the bomb. Couldn't speak higher of how delicious every item is. The line was at the end of the block at 9 when it opened and took us about 45 minutes and they still had plenty of stock. It was a great way to start the morning and set the vibe of the day off right. read more

Sugar Moon feels like a little hidden gem in the neighborhood. Even though there's a wait, it feels very communal especially with a coffee shop around the corner. I arrived about 30min before opening on a Sat and I'd estimate it took about 15-20 minutes before getting inside. The line moves at a reasonable pace. One of the reasons to be here early is to ensure all the goodies you want were available, I had a friend go in around 11 and many were sold out. I had a variety of items both sweet and savory, ate them many hours later as I brought it to a friend's dinner and the treats were still absolutely delicious. My favorite were the espresso cornflake cookie. Don't sleep on the French onion foccacio! Considering I didn't eat at peak, these are one of the best baked goods I've had in a very long time!! I'd say it's worth getting up for. Still thinking about going again. read more

Their French onion focaccia is hands down one of the best breads I've ever eaten. It tastes exactly like French onion soup and the bread is so light and fluffy. Everything I tried was so well made and flavorful but I'd go back just for their bread. We lined up at 8:30 and the line wasn't bad, by the time they opened at 9, the line moved really quick. The store itself is pretty small but they are super efficient and helpful. Worth the visit! read more

The cookies here were out of this world. The espresso cornflake cookie and the smores cookie are to die for. The banana cream croissant was an interesting concept and great flavor but it lost some of that classic croissant flakiness. I could skip the blondie and the almond olive oil cake next time. But will 1000% be back for those cookies!!!!!! read more

Sugar Moon is only open Friday - Sunday and the line was 30+ people deep before they opened at 9. The wait was so worth it.

Oh my god so good! We finally made it to this absolutely wonderful place (been scared away by the long line in the mornings lol). It carries a good variety of savory and sweet pastries, so everyone can at least find sth interesting. My husband was not a big pastry fan, but did enjoy the pizza focaccia and squash & miso garlic butter focaccia! I took a bite of each - fluffy but still a bit chewy, flavorful but not too oily, love love love! We also got the chocolate chunk cookie (yummmm), banana pudding croissant, hot dog bun (forgot the exact name), and a couple danishes. Could not be happier! read more

This spot deserves all the hype it gets!!! I love a good bakery and this one shot up pretty quickly on my top rated list. There were so many different vegetarian options and even vegan options!! As a vegetarian, it's usually tough at bakeries to get any good savory options but we were struggling to choose between all the options. We ultimately landed on the seasonal savory pastry, pinwheel, and the jalapeño popper scone along with some sweet treats like the banana pudding tart and lemon cloud cookie. I will say there's a pretty long line but especially if you're going once, it's worth the wait! read more

The line was ridiculous at 9am, wish they were open more. The service is just alright, they're really busy, so it makes sense. The pastries certainly lived up the hype. The flavors are so unique and delicious. The presentation is SO gorgeous! I still rave about going back one day. read more

Still everything and more!! The artist pop ups have been remarkable lately, as well as the focaccia as always! You truly can't go wrong , but here's my formula for all the best - - 2 focaccia - 1 sweet scone - 1 savory scone - 1 savory brioche Enjoy!! But prepare for a 45 minute line if the weather is decent :) read more

I love that there are so many savory options available at Sugar Moon! And so many different pastries in general to choose from! For savory options we got the potato & leek focaccia, giardiniera focaccia, miso portabella brioche, kielbasa galette. The miso portabella brioche was my favorite! It had caramelized onions with the mushrooms and was just so rich in flavor, and the brioche was so nice and fluffy. My second favorite was the potato and leek focaccia. It was both crispy and fluffy, and had good flavor. For a sweet one, we got the Thai tea cloud, and it was AMAZING. Definitely recommend this for a sweet treat!! The center creme had a strong Thai tea flavor and was airy and sweet. It was sandwiched by a fluffy cloud-like pastry! So so good!! They are only open Fridays through Sundays so there tends to be long lines. We came on a Friday about 9:30am and there was already a significant line! We waited for about 30 minutes. Definitely worth the wait! Inside there are just a handful of counter seating that faces the front windows. It's very small and limited for seating. Pro tip: Take your pastries home, and if you have an air fryer or toaster oven, pop the savory pastries in and have them freshly toasted! Definitely made the pastries even better than they already are. read more

I came here Friday around 930am and there was a small line out the door with like 6 ppl ahead of us. I told my partner let's come here to try their pastries because I really like the variety of sweet and savory they have after looking at google/yelp reviews/pictures. This place did not disappoint at all! I loved everything I tried so far and would definitely come back! I had the potato focaccia first and omg, you literally can taste everything they describe. The focaccia literally melted in my mouth every bite I took. I knew I had to try the denver omelette brioche even though I was full so I cut myself a quarter of it but ended up eating the whole entire thing. I find it hard to just "try" a bite because you will end up just eating the whole thing yourself! They do not skimp on the ingredients at this place! You literally get what you pay for and their prices are super reasonable! I pad like $40 for 7 pastries and thought it was the best deal ever! I had a bite of the chai cinnamon roll and you can taste literally taste the chai. The chai wasn't too strong, but instead just perfect! I still have to try the passion cloud cookie and tahini cookie later after I digest a bit more. Overall, this place is amazing and I will be back to try more things! I can't wait to tell my friends how good the pastries are at this small shop! read more

Our friends spoke so highly of Sugar Moon, so we braved the weather and waited in line for some pastries to go! The bakery is quite small, so they limit the number of folks inside at one time. While the line was long on a Saturday morning, it went by pretty quickly. For being a tiny spot, they pack in so many treats! I love the number of both sweet and savory options, as well as their informative labeling of each treat. We snagged a variety of offerings between the 4 of us, which was perfect to try multiple pastries. Everything was so delicious and clearly made with high quality ingredients. Our favorite items were the bacon date scone and the espresso cornflake cookie - both had such unique flavor pairings that simply worked. I would love to revisit and try more of the savory items (the kielbasa galette was so intriguing!) and try more seasonal sweets as well. I'm so glad we visited Sugar Moon during our quick trip to Chicago, and I would highly recommend for anyone looking for excellent pastries in the area! read more

One of my favorite bakeries in Chicago! Their pasties are so unique with creative flavors. Usually, I prefer sweet pastries, but hands down the savory ones here are the star of the show. The focaccias, the scones, the galettes - all amazing but if I had to pick a favorite, I would go with the galettes. The best gift you could give someone is presenting them with a box of cookies from Sugar Moon. As many know, the tahini chocolate chip cookies are an absolute must when ordering, but I prefer the cornflake espresso cookie. Try to come early, because the usual wait time is between 15-20 minutes and they're only open Friday-Sunday. read more

The wait was insane! Comparable to kasama but I think it moved a bit faster since it's only take out. We waited for 1hour and 15 mins on a Saturday morning but definitely worth it. My fav was the GIARD focaccia- very fluffy and flavorful! I also got the black sesame cheesecake , tiramisu cloud cookie, corn beef croissant, bacon bagel, and cinnamon roll. Their pastry are freshly made and constantly refilling so you will never get ones that's been sitting there for a couple of hours. The service is fast and friendly. And the decor is super cute and aesthetic! read more

We were lucky enough to enjoy some pastries at our place. We tried the tahini chocolate chip cookie, the giardiniera focaccia, apple croissant pastry, and a savory everything bagel pastry. Everything was super tasty and we loved how unique all the flavor profiles were. My personal favorite was the apple pastry and it is 10x better than any baked apple treat I've had. We will be back to try more things! read more

Came here on Sunday at 10:45, there was a 30 minute wait. Staff was very friendly but I do think they could have a much more efficient system to not have a line! Cute place, really small, 10 people can fit inside! I got the passion fruit cloud cookie, orange cheesecake, s'mores cookie and banana croissant. All were so wonderful, the banana croissant is my favorite! It bursts with banana pudding. Sooo worth the wait! read more

Every thing was amazing the cookies were very nice and the banana puff was very tasty

Sugar moon definitely lives up to the hype! I was surprised at all the options they had. On a Friday morning close to opening it will take maybe 30 minutes to get to the front of the line, so be prepared with a jacket or umbrella as needed. Their savory pastries were all delicious. Highlights were the miso portobello brioche and the Thai tea cloud. It's a very small space inside so once you get in, you're very close to ordering. Be mentally prepared to make quick decisions since you'll need to peer at all the displays to see what's offered. read more

amazing pastries, tons of savory options, everything we tried was delicious and I wish we had room for more. the mortadella croissant was great, flaky, buttery and savory. the jalapeno popper thing was amazing. the zucchini focaccia also great. there can be waits/lines but we were in and out in around 20 minutes read more

Ordered at 9:20 after arriving at 8:45. Went with the chai spiced cinnamon roll, cloud cookie, and bacon brioche. The cinnamon roll was pretty big and smelled immaculate. There were some hard spots around the edges but the interior was soft. It also had a nice caramelized bottom and the frosting wasn't overly sweet. Next, the tiramisu cloud cookie which I chose over the lemon one. I didn't know what to expect but the name makes perfect sense. This was literally the lightest cookie I've had. Basically eating tiramisu in cookie form. Finally, while I'm not the biggest bacon fan, I split the brioche and wow. Not much bacon but the bread was so so fluffy and an unexpected hard boiled egg tucked in the hole. I just wish this place was closer cause everything was phenomenal. read more

I saw all the great five-star reviews of this particular bakery shop so I thought I would finally give this place a try! Have to admit, I was a bit intimidated by the small hours over the weekend, changing and slightly elusive menu, long reported lines, and high sell-out risk. However, we got to the shop around an hour after they opened, and although we did wait in a line for around 25-30 minutes, there were plenty of options left and it was really hard to choose just one from what we could see! They feature both sweet and savory and have plenty of vegan options. The interior is small (but well decorated and cute) with window seating, but other than that, it is expected you clear out if those seats are available so those in line can enter. As other reviews have mentioned, it doesn't really matter what you order because it is all made in small batches and high quality. I was surprised that a lot of it isn't warm (we were there on a really cold and snowy day, so they probably taste better when they're warmed up), so FYI on that. We got: Cranberry scone - dense but slightly sweet, strong cranberry flavor with icing, everything you would expect! Jalapeno cheddar - clearly had a salty cheddary/savory flavor, would have loved to taste more of the jalapeno throughout the scone or for it to feature a bit more spice but was still lovely! Tomato foccacia - was my favorite, so yummy, plenty of herbs and bread was slightly chewy and very fresh! Chai spice roll - soft and delivered on chai and spice flavors with plenty of icing I think it's so cool that they're constantly working on different recipes and changing their menu as well, so you have more opportunities to come back and try more of their creations! All the pastries are large and look beautiful, the presentation is fantastic and would also make a great gift for anyone :) I'll definitely come back! read more

This place is amazing! Have a few chairs if you want to dine in, but it's mostly a carry out spot. I particularly like their savory pastries, like the Buffalo chicken croissant. Staff is very friendly too. However, if you're in a time crunch and need to get your fix in early, might need to prepare ahead. On Sunday, I went in line at 8:55 am and only got to order at about 9:25 am. From Eater: This cute Logan Square bakery is off the beaten path but is pure Chicago. The chocolate chip cookies are can't miss, addicting with the ability to transform the most rotten day into a win. The savory pastries, there might be some giardiniera or Italian beef involved, make for a game changing snack. The neighborhood may not want this secret out in public, but Sugar Moon is destination worthy. read more

Such a wonderful bakery that has a great selection of pastries. I got the almond butter jam bar (loved the jammy pop of berry flavor that contrasted with the nutty almond butter and oatmeal) and the espresso cornflake cookie (which I'm currently eating as a late afternoon snack right now) - my friends got a hodgepodge of sweet and savory pastries and I got to try a bite of each. The raspberry pistachio croissant stood out to me and was super fresh and yummy. I recommend going right when they open - there's typically a line but it moves fast. And be sure to get enough so that you can enjoy the goodies the next day!! read more

It was so hard not to buy 1 of everything. This place has made my top 5 pastries in the city! They are only open Fri-Sun so the goods here are pretty sought out. I believe they rotate flavors and have seasonal stuff too. Everything I bought was phenomenal on so many levels. This is a place I can def see myself going to again and again. read more

My friend had gifted me a box of assortments from Sugar Moon for my birthday, and I practically ate it all in one sitting-- it was THAT good! My particular favorite was their Egg, Poblano, Bacon, Cheddar on Brioche w/ Everything But the Bagel Seasoning (I'm not sure if that is even the name, but you get the idea). It was so delicious it had me craving more, and the weekend after, I had to make the trip up north from South Loop to get myself another one! As many of the reviews mention, it is recommended you do come early since lines can be long, and its first come first serve. I suggest following their instagram @sugarmoonchi, where they post live updates on their stock throughout the morning. This is the route I took, and even though I did come a few hours into their opening, I was still able to get what I came for (thank goodness!). Given that I came close to closing, I was able to sit down by their window and enjoy and soak up the sun! In conclusion, don't let the traveling and wait scare you away. It's a must try!! read more
