You've heard it all before. What can I say except everything you've heard about Sugar Moon is true! This is easily now my favorite bakery in the city. Shout out to everyone that works there because they are super nice and helpful. Let's get the logistics out the way: yes if you show up when they open at 9, there will be a line, but it moves quickly! I'm usually out with my order by 9:25! I have a huge sweet tooth and let me tell you the savory pastries are my favorite. I will not visit without getting at least one miso mushroom pastry. I absolutely hate eggs and the jalapeño popper pastry is so good, I barely noticed the egg in it until I'd eaten half of it This place is the TRUTH. Every pastry is flaky, every bun is fluffy and the flavor combinations are so unique. Let me stop typing so I can go stand in line!
um absolutely yes this is what they mean when they say support small businesses!! I stumbled across this bakery on my way to the suburbs and it's sooooooo good! I see why they're known for their banana pudding croissant. There were so many things I wanted to try, the people working were so nice and despite being small inside, it gave a very intimate cafe feeling. Will 100% be back to try more things. Come early to get first dibs on everything before it sells out.
Holy freakin best bakery in the nation! Sugar Moon is a local fave in Logan Square--and for all the reasons possible. They make scrumptious cookies, pastries, danishes, chai cinnamon rolls, the whole shebang. Our eyes were nonstop drooling over all of the fresh goodies. I had such a hard time choosing, but knew I had to get the corn flake espresso cookie (SO FRICKIN AMAZING) the textures were elite, and the potato focaccia. The southwest hash brioche was friggin incredible. They were very generous with the sweet potato, WHOLE EGG, and veg. Like seriously, with the cost of groceries skyrocketing, I can't believe I got a whole bit of egg white and yolk. You must eat your goodies warm, the initial crunch had me in a chokehold. They also had a vegan focaccia which my friends appreciated. There's street parking and expect lines. Inside isn't super spacious, but the line does move. Bring sunnies and a book if you don't like to stand around. We got here before they opened on a Saturday morning and only had to wait like 15mins. They also sell cute lil Sugar Moon merch like fun tshirts and cards. Would 100% come back to get morning pastries from them. Super queer friendly as well. MUST visit.
I've been to a variety of bakeries but Sugar Moon is on my top three list. From the cookies to the focaccia, everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. The only thing I hate is that I'm not from Chicago and I can't come here regularly. This is a must visit spot.
Sugar Moon is only open weekends, and they had a line out the door when I went. The line moved fast and the staff were super helpful and friendly despite the crowd. I really enjoyed the chai roll and cloud cookie, but the southwest brioche was what stood out to me. It was packed with flavor and really well-made! They didn't have as many savory items out when I came (no focaccia that day and only 1 savory brioche and 1 savory galette) or I would have loved to try more - I feel like that's what shone for me! Definitely would return for more delicious baked goods, and surprisingly despites the tiny amount of seating I was able to eat in the store because most everyone gets their order to go. This spot is clearly welll-loved for a reason!
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.
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!!
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!
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.
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.
Glorious. One-of-a-kind. Amazing. Definitely some of the best pastries I've had in Chicago recently. If you haven't made it over to Sugar Moon yet, it's well worth a trek out of the way! We visited around noon on a Sunday, and after reading the reviews here, I wasn't optimistic there would be many pastries left. Maybe I should play the lottery, because luckily there was no line and a pretty good selection of pastries left. The staff were super friendly and there were so many unique flavors of baked goods. We decided to split several and opted for the blueberry cloud cookie, chai cinnamon roll, banana pudding croissant, espresso cornflake cookie, and potato focaccia. The shop was more of a small take-out operation, so we took the pastries to a nearby park to eat. Everything was absolutely divine! The group favorite was the focaccia- the creamy potatoes and cheese brought a rich flavor that was perfectly balanced by the fluffy bread. The chai roll was perfectly soft and delicately spiced, completed with that soft cream cheese frosting and gooey center we all like to see. My personal favorite was the banana pudding croissant- the dough was so crispy that I'm pretty sure others could hear the bite, and there was a generous amount of filling with fresh bananas and visible vanilla beans in the whipped cream. The espresso cookie was super soft- while I couldn't taste the espresso very clearly, I absolutely *loved* the caramel-coated cornflakes topped with sea salt. Super unique and would definitely order again. Despite their decadent appearances, none of the pastries were too sweet. Already plotting a return visit and can't recommend this shop enough!
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.
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!

I got there around 915 on a Friday morning and waited in line around 25 minutes. I got the potato focaccia, the maxwell st brioche, tahini chocolate chip cookie, and the chai spice cinnamon roll! They were all so good. I brought them all back home so I could heat them up. I'm usually a savory girl more than a sweets girl but the cinnamon roll was my favorite! Everything was amazing and I want to go back to try more things! read more

The pastries here are elite. Is it worth the price tag? That'll be for you to decide, but the cornflake brown sugar cookie is one of the best cookies I've had. Their poblano cheddar scone is spicy, crumbly, and 1 of 1. The giardineria focaccia is a wonderful ode to Chicago. The ham & cheese brioche is comforting and filling. The tiramisu cloud cookie is light, airy, and does its name justice. Try to get here earlier in the day so there's more of a variety; they seem to run out fast during weekends. read more

What an absolutely wonderful experience! The people working were helpful, kind and full of suggestions. We got a tiramisu "cookie" which had the texture of a moon pie, not sweet, just perfect in flavor. The brioche with sausage, egg, cheese paired perfectly with a coffee. The shortbread with dark chocolate, sea salt and strawberries was delightful. Lastly, the chocolate chip, sea salt and tahini cookie was a pleasant surprise. Overall, I'm definitely coming back. For those flavors it was worth every penny. read more

We grabbed some treats for breakfast before heading over to the Logan Square farmers market. Everything looked and smelled amazing! There was a short line out the door, but it moved quick. I would highly recommend the bacon brioche and the banana brûlée croissant. Would love to try out something new next time! read more

This new, neighborhood bakery is so cute! I've been trying to get something there since they opened but they are always sold out. I just got my first chance yesterday and I am so glad I did! I got the Strawberry Lemon Thyme scone. Delicious. SCRUMPTIOUS! Not too dry as most scones are. Perfectly sweet and tangy. I can't wait to try more. read more

Great pastries and cookies. Fun seasonal flavors too. The blondie and cornflake cookie were both amazing and perfect in every way. The brioche treats were also on point. We thought the prices were fair for everything we bought. read more

Spent $30 on sweet potato focaccia, chocolate chip cookie, Thai tea cookie, banana pudding croissant, and plum croissant. Our favorites were the focaccia and plum croissant. Only downside was 30 min of waiting in line but overall it was worth it. Note there is nowhere to sit inside and no coffee for sale besides drip. read more

This place is phenomenal, get there early because they sell out quickly! Small storefront on Wrightwood just west of Central Park; you have to walk out the door to change your mind. I did a little research and The Baker has won numerous "Special Effects" awards as well as won on a reality TV show! They specialize in custom cakes and they are def some of the most amazing cakes I have EVER seen. Each day they offer about 10 items from scones to pies to cookies. Usually an offering of both a "Savory" and "Sweet" rustic scone. Do not miss these; unique ingredients & herbs give these great flavor! The pie is phenomenal.. I usually just try whatever is there.. you can't miss. The cookies are great and very unique in flavor profile as well as different types such as Espresso with like a "Marinated" corn flake topping!? They are known for their Tahini Chocolate Chip which is made with Tahini giving them a crispy edge with a gooey center loaded with quality chocolate chips. They also do like 3-4 savory rolls each day with all kinds of different ingredients just like MOM used to make! Must try joint/ talk later. read more

I can't wait to see what else is available at this bakery. I went in the morning during the week, so there were still many options to choose from. I went with the savory brioche and blondie and both were delicious. It sounds heavy, but were somehow still very light. The staff is very nice too. She even asked how many corners I wanted in the blondie, which is such a thoughtful question. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough! I've told everyone I know to come here because it is simply amazing. Totally worth the long wait! Everything I've tried here has been absolutely amazing (especially the chocolate chip cookies, brioche, cinnamon rolls, and ham croissants!) the staff is so kind. read more
I guess I visited on a weekend right before the hype blew up - and the hype is well worth it! I am not a sweet person, I love savory baked goods and Sugar Moon Bakery speaks to me. Late review from November where I ordered some pastries for my birthday weekend, I was able to pop in and get pastries no lines - now I join the queue because these pastries are so delicious. If you have to choose some items, I highly recommend the poblano scone and the espresso salted cornflake cookie. read more

There is a long line, but for good reason!!! This is definitely one of the top bakeries in Chicago. We picked up giadinera focaccia, a pistachio cheesecake slice, a tiramisu cloud cookie, and a banana croissant. All unbelievable. The banana croissant was life changing. Please go here :) read more

Sugar Moon is an exceptional bakery. The owner Dina opened the place just this past September and to no surprise, it's already a huge success. Sugar Moon's small neighborhood business charm and family warm environment contribute to the experience. She always has a delicious array of both sweet and savory pastries, perfect for on-the-go breakfast, snack and/or just to treat yourself. I give major brownie points for always including options that are Vegan and Gluten Free and that ACTUALLY taste good. Better than good. Fan-f***ing-tastic. Because of Sugar Moon, I now have a serious addiction to giardiniera focaccia. There are worse things in life. Other personal favorites include the tiramisu cloud cookie and vegan chai choc chip walnut cookie. My husband is obsessed with the stuffed Brioche with egg, red pesto, feta and za'atar And let's not forget her cakes! Delightful and delectable. Made to order as you like. She made our gorgeous wedding cake, (vegan chocolate with raspberry compote and vanilla buttercream frosting) and it's all gone now. My advice is to get to the bakery within the first hour of opening to heighten your chances of first picks. On most days, she sells out before noon. In addition, Dina puts out innovative weekly specials (announced on Instagram) that you do NOT want to miss out on. read more
