Great experience overall. Customer service is welcoming and friendly. They ran out of matcha when I went, but the gentleman at counter made some good recommendations otherwise. The food and treats look really indulgent. I got an iced honey almond milk latte. Pretty good. There were notes of honey and caramel. I would definitely recommend coming before 3 if you are trying to grab a matcha. read more

Asked for an unsweetened iced matcha. Skipped Starbucks in hopes of getting real matcha. I'm a little bit of a matcha snob not to be that person but there's a reason people say it tastes grassy. Was told the matcha comes presweetened. I've never heard of this at a place that charged $10 FOR THE DRINK. This drink with no added sugar is sweeter than Starbucks' green sugar "matcha". I'm so disappointed. The color is not there and it tastes of milk and sugar and full to the brim with ice. Super disappointed as I just tried them in hopes of becoming a regular. read more

It was soo packed for the Chicago marathon but I'm grateful they were open. Plenty of options to choose from. The wait wasn't long. Seating areas inside. Street parking. And the croissants were huge. read more

Stopped in to meet a friend. The interior is fine. Nothing crazy to write home about. The food was good. I got a ham and cream cheese turnover that was very flaky. I took home a cinnamon roll that ended up being amazing. I also took home a chocolate croissant that my husband raved about. My iced honey latte was okay. I actually really wanted a matcha, but the nice worker confirmed that they use a matcha powder mix that has sugar in it. I'm very thankful to this worker for his honesty bc that's not something I'd ever want. With how popular matcha's gotten, they really need to do actual real, good matcha powder for matcha lattes if they want to sell matcha. That was disappointing. There easy pay to park right out front. read more

Okay holy cow. I ordered bakehouse on DoorDash - which was taking a chance! I try to only order from places I've been before so I know what to expect. But on this particular day I chose to try it out. I got a ham egg and cheese on a sesame bagel that was truly fantastic! I was shocked. It was so stuffed full of ingredients and was so yummy and filling. I also got a caramel latte. Usually when I DoorDash coffee drinks they're subpar... but I gasped this was so delicious! Highly recommend and so happy I found a great spot! read more

Best part of my shitty day. One perfectly flaky, buttery croissant, a dolce de leche latte, and a little stroll in the warm winter sunshine. Bottle it. (Also plenty of space to hang/work if that's what you need.) read more

This review is re: their cake ordering process. I sent the request form on a Thursday morning. Not getting a reply by Monday morning, I decided to pop in as I live in the area. The staff at front took my contact info and told me they'd be in touch. By the time I returned home, a friendly reply was waiting for me, eager to discuss the order. I sent them images (dog, food, band logo, family friendly images), and that was the last I ever heard from them. I did follow up 3 times via email over the next 1.5 weeks, and gave them a call. The front of the house assured me that I would hear back but I never did. In my last email, I asked them to just please let me know if they could do this cake so that I could go elsewhere in time for the birthday party. But still, never a response. I ended up going to Marianos and it was an easy experience with a beautiful cake. I always want to support local mom and pop small businesses and avoid big box stores, but I ran out of time in this situation. Felt unprofessional and odd for a small business to operate this way. read more

This was a quick stop to fill my empty belly for breakfast and was treated to an excellent shop. To start, this is a quaint, well decorated shops that I could easily see as a great place to meet friends or do some work. For a small cafe, the menu is well laid out with lots of options. I went with the cinnamon roll which was doused (in a good way) with a sugary, sour cream topping. Without asking they warmed it up for me which added to its super fresh taste. Service was outstanding and friendly. Stop here instead of the generic Starbucks down the street! read more

We tried the banana pudding and tres leches and it was really good. So good I didn't get a chance to take a photo before we completely devoured it. The Tres leches was rich but the cake was light and fluffy. The banana pudding was really - a close competitor to Magnolias. This had actual banana pieces as well. It's a cute cafe to get coffee, pastry and dessert. Service was quick and efficient. read more

Just simply picked up an ice coffee here on a Friday afternoon while shopping in the area. It was later in the day so I appreciated they were open. The guy who took my order was friendly and prompt with my order. Not much else to say other than glad they were open later than some other coffee shops I know! read more

This is my second time here. I was a little disappointed with my friend's Strawberry cheesecake. It was crumbled into chunks, not smooth like cheesecake should be. I had the Blueberry Muffin; it was just OK. The bathroom had water on the floor, and the service was cordial and prompt. The coffee is a standout--always fresh! read more

i really want to like this place... but just don't have anything great to say about it--and i've been several times always hoping for more bc the reviews are great. i think its location is what gets me every time. i think i'm just not ordering the right things? their display looks kinda diner-ish to me (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). i appreciate that they have vegan items (sometimes). i just never leave there wowed or satisfied. and...the people behind there always seem off :( not mean just kinda going through the motions with no personality. can't really put my finger on it. read more

On today's coffee shop tour, we have The Bakehouse. It's located on the corner of Damen & Roscoe and there's plenty of paid street parking given the number of shops and restaurants around. When I stopped in there was no one here, though it was close to 5 pm on a Sunday evening. In addition to the indoor seating, they have several tables outside. They have a lot of drinks on their menu, much of what you'd see in any coffeehouse. They also have a lot of baked goods as you might expect from a place with their name. Prices were really reasonable for both the drinks and desserts. Given the time of day, most of the baked goodies were gone, but they had cookies and many desserts left. In addition to a caramel latte and a passionfruit lemonade, I picked up a piece of chocolate mousse cake and some banana pudding. When my SO tasted the latte he asked if there was pepper or cayenne in it; I wonder if he was primed for it since I've been bringing him coffees with cayenne, peppercorn, or other unusual coffee additives. It was still good though! And my passionfruit lemonade was freaking delicious. I didn't know if I'd like it at all but it was so good and I'd have it again in a heartbeat. When I was heading out the employee was kind enough to come around and open the door for me since I was carrying an occupied car seat, and although I would have gotten out on my own it was much easier with his help. The desserts were good, particularly (in my opinion) the banana cream pudding. The chocolate mousse cake was VERY rich so I'm glad I'd planned on us sharing them both from the start; I wouldn't have been able to finish it on my own. They also had some really cute cakes of which I took photos. Having tasted their sweet treats I'd consider having them make a cake for my daughter's birthday. read more

What a delightful, cheery, creative and tasty place to spend some time chatting with a friend over breakfast, checking your feed, or just hanging out. All the pastries are professionally and beautifully prepared, and the cake pops are delicious too. The coffee selection is creative and varied. It's a nice and bright place to be. read more

Really cute place for a coffee. Did not have the chance to try their pastries, but everything looked delish!! The guy who helped us was really nice and walked us through the drinks we wanted to order. Love to see Venezuelan owned businesses thriving. Definitely an excuse to come back and update this review! Thank you, BakeHouse, the coffee was lovely! read more

So incredibly disappointed. They have beautiful custom cakes displayed on their website. Fun fondant creations and one-of-a-kind designs. I've never ordered a cake from them before but their work looked so solid. My son turned 15 today. He is obsessed with Chelsea FC. I really thought I was going to nail this year's cake when I asked The Bakehouse Chicago to make a simple white cake with the Chelsea logo on top. I reached out to them 3.5 weeks before his birthday to place an order. I picked up his cake last night. What I was expecting was something with a little bit of craftsmanship. What I got was a cardboard cutout. There was no time to get a cake elsewhere so I took the cake. But we can't even put candles on it. I added a second star because they did give me a partial refund. But the discount doesn't fix the disappointment I felt when I removed the cardboard piece to sing happy birthday with a completely blank cake. read more

Really love everything about this place and would come back to sit outside in their patio or do some work inside the shop! They are all friendly with fast service.

One of my new favorite places! The pastries were all so delicious, the drinks are all beautifully prepared, clean and fun place to grab breakfast or snacks. Try all of their croissants! They are delightful. We came for the Supreme Croissant and we were told they don't make them anymore, but that's okay! Everything was so good. read more

I came here for a few hours to work and enjoy some coffee and snacks. They have delicious looking sweets and baked goods at the front when you walk in, and I was promptly greeted by the staff. The customer service was great, I was served quickly and with kindness, and they seemed to be appropriately staffed for the amount of customers. I appreciated the relaxed and casual atmosphere. They weren't too busy, and even when the dining area was full, it was not loud or chaotic, which made it easy for me to get work done. While the food was good, the drinks unfortunately were not. I enjoyed an egg and cheese everything bagel and a spinach and ricotta turnover, although the turnover could have been heated a bit longer to be warmed all the way through. I was hoping to try the tequeños, but sadly they were out. From their summer drink menu, I ordered the iced coconut latte and the blue matcha lavender latte. The iced coconut latte was a bit lacking in sweetness to my taste, though I could taste the coconut. This may have simply not been the drink for me. The blue matcha lavender latte, however, was especially bad compared to everything else, and I couldn't finish it. The color was light blue but it tasted of neither matcha nor lavender. It was essentially a 12oz blue steamed milk that cost $4 before tax and tip. Overall, this place wasn't bad, but if you're there for the coffee, you might have a better time elsewhere. There is an abundance of cafes and coffee shops in this area that will match the atmosphere and customer service, while serving quality coffee at a similar price. read more

Delicious coffee drinks and sweets. They also have other breakfast items like avocado toast which I'll have to return to try. They have milk substitutes and sugar free syrups for drinks which is a big plus as a lot of local places don't have this ( I had a delicious almond milk latte with sugar free vanilla syrup ). In addition to a great coffee selection/ taste, this little place has a good energy and spirit ( I was there during the World Cup game this AM so perhaps it had just a little bit of extra spirit with patrons glued to the screen in there but still get the sense they just have good energy going on there). Nice neighborhood joint - also happy to support a small business with a great product. Recommend if in the area! read more

The Bakehouse takes the cake in the edibles department (as in desserts- not the other kind). Stop in for a wake and bake, since they serve Dark Matter coffee. The pastries are made fresh and have a variety from chocolaty mousse to savory Venezuelan pastries. The location is inviting, and the staff helpful. read more

I really am happy that the Bakehouse has opened in Roscoe Village. The neighborhood really needed a sit down coffee shop besides Starbucks that's open later in the day. I came in and grabbed a cold brew to go. It was delicious, service was super friendly. They also have a punch card system! The food and baked goods looked really, really good too. I can't wait to come back and try the food sometime soon! This will also be a great place to do work (free Wi-Fi) when I get sick of being in my home office! read more

I ordered a Egg & Cheese Bagel Breakfast Sandwich. It was by far the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had!! The egg was perfectly cooked, the cheese did not conquer the flavor of the whole sandwich, and the everything bagel was toasted to perfection! With the addition of bacon, I savored every bite. Thought I was done?? Oh no, no,no. I also had a small iced caramel latte! Not too much ice so it doesn't get watery. Not too much sugar, where I am gathering clumps at the bottom. Every sip hit the spot!! They also have amazing cookies, cakes, and other pastries. The staff are very nice people and super friendly. All smiles and very polite. They have built an amazing environment and I already can't wait for my next visit!! Check this spot out! You WILL NOT regret it. read more

Great food, wonderful service and a cozy comfortable combination of inside and outside seating.

The tres leches cake I had here last week was soaked to perfection: a texture you always hope for when ordering one, but you really only get when making it at home. I kept it in the treasure section of my fridge, trying to consume it slowly to make it last. But who am I kidding. Today's breakfast bagel though was stale and dry and sad. Pretty to look at, yes, but the filling (while a nice amount of ham) lacked seasoning and the bagel texture ruined the meal. Maybe it was an off-day? Maybe they ran out of fresh bagels? read more

Walked in, and it seemed like it would be good. The caprese sandwich came out cold, which is weird because it is a grilled sandwich. The bagel egg and cheese sandwich was good, but bagel wasn't toasted. Weird. For creamer, they had those little disposable cups. I think for the outlandish prices they charge (probably to cover rent and the large amount of employees there), they can provide a thermos that has cream in it for patrons. The woman at the register seemed bored and didn't even help the other employees. She just took orders and then sat there, leaning over the counter. It was busy, too. Someone had to inquire where their food was. Things were getting confusing and people were piling up with nowhere to stand. We wont be back. 2 coffees and 2 sandwiches for $37? No thank you. read more

This is an ALMOST 5 star spot. The staff is friendly and surprisingly quick. The spot has a really cool and classic coffee shop feel - not overwhelming but welcoming and as if you could spend hours or even all day here. The food is great - the pastries, the breakfast sandwiches, all of it! I love their bagel sandwiches the best, but I have not been disappointed in any of it. The price is even good! The only rough part is the coffee, which is just not tasty. Some of the flavored espresso beverages are fine, but the coffee itself just doesn't taste good. Not sure if it's the beans or brewing method or both, but it really just tastes like the coffee your coworker brewed at 6am that's been in the pot till afternoon. I usually don't have any problem with that, except it's a coffee shop where I'm paying for the coffee. Still my favorite place to go in the neighborhood for coffee, but that's really just because of the food! read more

I purchased an almond croissant and it was awful. It wasn't a croissant at all. Instead it was a bread roll cut and lathered with a runny almond syrup. It tasted awful. Please don't sell a bread roll and say it's a croissant. Service was fair & respectful. Lots of people waiting for their drinks but only one person making them. read more
