Sweet offered pastries
Joe B.

This classic neighborhood bakery has been around since the 1930s, and you can tell they take pride in everything they make. Open six days a week, the team always greets you with a warm smile. They've got just about everything -- from fresh bread and pastries to cakes, donuts, and their amazing apple strudels. Their coffee cakes are packed with flavor, and the donuts are made fresh daily. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the irresistible aroma of freshly baked goods -- it's pure comfort. If you've got a sweet tooth or just want something homemade and heartwarming, this spot is an absolute must-try!

Weber's Bakery has been a favorite of mine since I was young. Even now, living in Milwaukee, WI, my family and I still make the trip to pick up our favorite, nostalgic cake. Chocolate & vanilla, strawberry & banana filling, topped with colorful whipped cream. These cakes bring me so much joy and fill my heart with so many wonderful memories. I am so grateful for all the years Weber's has been in my life.

Weber's Bakery is one of those rare places that has truly earned its legendary status. For years, I've driven by, picked up their pastries through friends and family, and savored every bite but I had never actually stepped inside. That changed recently, and let me tell you: nothing prepares you for the beautiful chaos that awaits within. From the moment you walk in, the aroma wraps around you like a warm hug, freshly baked dough, sweet vanilla glaze, powdered sugar, buttery croissants, and a hint of cinnamon all swirling together. The line was long (as expected), and yes, it felt like it moved at the pace of molasses. But there's something about standing in that line, watching the trays come out, seeing the cases constantly restocked, and hearing the excited chatter around you, it builds anticipation in the best way possible. And once it's your turn, pure bliss. I couldn't choose just one item, so I didn't. I walked out with a box full of pastries, from classic donuts, apple fritters, and melt-in-your-mouth butter cookies to delicate custard-filled éclairs and almond danishes. Each one had its own personality: flaky, rich, creamy, chewy, or decadently sweet. There's real craftsmanship in every bite, nothing feels mass-produced or rushed. It's like tasting tradition, love, and nostalgia all at once. If you've never been inside Weber's, do yourself a favor and go. Bring lots cash, bring patience, and bring a big box, because you'll want one of everything. This isn't just a bakery; it's a Chicago institution, and every bite is a reminder of why.

chocolate frosted donuts the best you will ever have
Scott R.

This place is the best with their baked goods! Anytime i am in chicago i will stop by weber. the service is always friendly and fast just make sure you pull a ticket! the ambiance is of a bakery that smells delicious like willy wonka. I recommend the donuts and the cake slices you won't be disappointed. Besides who can say no to their cute boxes and ties!

There was a block club Chicago article about a society of bakers that originally put this place on my radar sounded like something from a Wes Anderson movie. Came in during afternoon. Ordered 3 things. A lemon bar, brownie, pecan dessert of some kind. Lemon bar was fluffy, creamy. ALL THE Things! Just the right amount of sweet. Pecan bar was corner piece and had more crust for my liking. The brownie was the bees knees. Sweet & chocolatey! I gotta go back one day earlier and get more breakfast themed pastries.

Some baked goods are great while others can be better. They are more expensive than the surrounding bakeries then again, they have a larger overhead. Customer service can be better, see picture of how my cookies were placed on top of each other.

My family has been coming here for decades! Absolutely love their atomic bomb cake and chocolate brownies! Recently just bought a cake from here for my uncle in a nursing home and he enjoyed every second of his favorite cake. Thank you for making his special day even more memorable. Always super busy so best to go early or order ahead!

75 years in Business! Congratulations. You continue to do so well, in this thriving wonderful and lively neighborhood. Your sweets have blessed the community and visitors for so many years, and this is us letting you know ; We haven't forgotten! I'm returning after 20years, and they are still doing an amazing job. So busy. So busy. BEST PRICES you'll ever find. Quality sweets, the cookie dough, it's not an overwhelming amount of cream cheese. Sometimes too much over powers the taste- this dough is perfect for the amount of filling they add to the Kolchki. (I'm sorry, I spelled that wrong. )So the balance is great. Not too much dough, Not too much filling. Balance. I love that I can dip it into my Tea and it doesn't fall apart. Personally. They don't sell tea and this is Take Away Only. ORDERS are encouraged. There was a lot of clear signs for customers . Pick up was very organized. They use a number system to manage it well. Like the deli department in many stores. But this is the GREAT Bakery. And the price is so reasonable , wow. They care about their community and it shows. Polite people. Busy but Organized. Many can't get that part of business straight so I applaud them. Disciplined. Thank you for still being here in the community and we love it. HIGHLY Recommend checking out this area. Lots to do over there. Fun stuff. Skate rinks, Weeds Stores, PORTILLOS, Great Dentists here with Superb Representations. So try them! The smores fudge brownie was Awesome also

Omg I LOVE this bakery, from the cakes to everything else. It is well worth the trip, service is outstanding and I haven't had anything from here I haven't liked.

Came in for a birthday cake luckily they have pre-made ones.
Rosa F.

Came on a busy holiday week (Thanksgiving) and orders are no longer being taken. Luckily I came in just for a birthday cake. As you walk in make sure to get a number bc they work fast as their service is quick and efficient. Anaí helped me out and she was so polite and helpful and had a good positive attitudes. Made me feel very welcomed! The place is small but with a great big parking lot nice and clean inside. Happy Holidays everyone!

Assorted donuts
Ashley C.

You can neeeever go wrong with Weber's donuts. They are always so fresh and fluffy. I had actually ended up eating two of this assortment (the glazed-like donut and the white long john).

Amisha R.

The environment is super busy and fast-paced, but everyone is so friendly, which made it feel welcoming despite the hustle. Everyone walking out looked so happy with their purchases. It's definitely the kind of place you'd want to bring something from to any get-together. The strawberry cake was absolutely delicious--perfectly sweet and so fresh. Every visit is a delight, and I can't wait to come back for more!

Custom cake for 40th birthday
Nisa J.

I was looking for a bakery that was reasonably priced to make a golf-themed cake for my husband's birthday. Having had Weber's at another party, I reached out and appreciated how helpful the team was. I sent a couple of options, and they patiently answered my questions and provided guidance on the cake. Their cakes are large, well designed, and delicious. Highly recommend a yellow cake with fresh strawberries! And like other Yelpers mentioned, the in store experience is a bit rough, but they are very efficient in working through the long queue of people coming for delicious pastries!

When did Weber's start using lard? Vegetarians beware. Is this why the kolachkys don't taste good anymore?

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.

Within the old Gate area of Chicago Chinatown on Wentworth sit two Chinese (Cantonese) bakeries…read more Chiu Quon was by far the more popular of the two. It is newer and sharper looking. Staff spoke English well. Customers included many westerners as well as the expected Asians. Chiu Quon is cash only, same as Feida across the street. I was generally quite excited about what I might find here. The name Chiu Quon 超群 is a 50+ years old bakery in Hong Kong (English name Maria's bakery). I was wondering if it had any association. Alas, no. Be that as it may, this Chiu Quon is a 1986 institution in Chicago Chinatown. So, they deserve their own applause. I was on a mission per a friend's request to find 'chicken little cookies' 雞仔餅 or as CQ calls it, Phoenix Cookies. That was the first thing I bought. Alas, my friend reported they are oddly sweet instead of savory. Well, each has their own family recipes. I did side by side comparisons with Feida. The CQ pastries are a bit more refined, prettier, a reasonable filling to crust ratio, but also smaller, less filled, and $0.25 more. Items we bought: - Wife pastry 老婆饼, filled with wintermelon filling (no chunks) - Red bean pastry 豆沙酥, a smaller flat round type - Crystal gel pastry 香蕉糕. This old school soft steamed glutinous rice mochi roll is now commonly vanilla flavor. Theirs have a bit of red bean inside. Their version was quite sweet. - Red bean filled pastry bar with walnuts. We liked this item the most. Plump, well filled with red bean, the walnut has a balance to the sweetness, minimum crust. We bought more to bring home. All items were around $2.50. I honestly like both bakeries and wish we have lower cost options at home.

We got a few buns and pastries, then ate them inside at the standing counter they had along the window by the front door.

Prices seemed fair, and the space was clean - felt like your typical Chinese bakery. Overall, we left feeling full with our choices and it was a nice experience. Thanks, Chiu Quon!

It was such a fun experience getting to try the chef's own take on Filipino cuisine. The quality of the food really stood out. My personal favorites were the nilaga and halo halo. The service was also excellent -- everyone was attentive, welcoming, and made the entire dinner feel special. I also couldn't help but notice how different the ambiance was. The kitchen area was open to where you could directly see the chefs. I usually feel chaos at times watching their every move along with them shouting over each other, but I felt a sort of calmness here. No one looked stressed or angry - just a bunch of chefs doing what they do best in a calm and quiet manner.. which I appreciated! Overall, a wonderful dining experience from start to finish.

Every scroll online was about their longanisa breakfast sandwich and infamously long line. So of course, I had to give them a try. They open at 9am, but the line starts forming long before then. Luckily, I had just gotten off my red-eye flight, so I headed straight from O'hare International Airport to Kasama. We arrived around 8:45am and the line was already halfway down the block. And as we got closer to opening time, the line doubled. We waited in total for an hour and a half before it was our turn to order. Now, I must say, it is definitely not worth it to wait in line in the morning for their daytime service. You can order your food online and walk straight inside to pick it up when it is ready. The food we ate did not feel worth a 90 minute wait in the freezing Chicago wind. The dining area is quite small with only a few tables available. I think they have an outdoor dining area as well, but no one really wanted to sit there given the cold. Even though daytime service is only counter service, the workers were really nice. The girl at the counter was so friendly and helped us quickly find a table after ordering. The longanisa breakfast sandwich arrived at our table wrapped in aluminum foil. And for the time that we waited, I was hoping to receive a fresh sandwich. I totally understand batching the sandwiches ahead of time to meet their ridiculous demand, but I was a bit underwhelmed. The sandwich was still good. I liked the silky texture of the egg, but the meat was already lukewarm. Eating the sandwich did not feel as satisfying as I had hoped it would.  I liked my drink - the Maiz con Leche. Hot and creamy with delicious corn flavor. I like the grainy texture of it as well.  The second most well known item here is probably the Ube and Huckleberry Basque Cake. It's a good cake. Crumbly texture. Tart. Although I felt like the huckleberry for the most part overwhelmed the ube. I was hoping to get a bit more ube flavor, but I could really only taste it in the bits where it wasn't mixed that well into the huckleberry.  I did, however, love the Matcha Panda Eclair - a light choux pastry with a piping of matcha pandan cream, filled with toasted rice. This was probably one of the best pastries I've ever had. The bite of this pastry is very satisfying. The outer layer of the pastry has ridges that are slightly crisp, and chomping through the choux to hit the crunch of the toasted rice was very satisfying. And the cream was delicious. They absolutely nailed the matcha and pandan flavor. I feel like pandan can be a difficult flavor to get right, so I was especially impressed with how they pulled it off.  Regardless of the time it takes to stand in line to dine-in, Kasama is a great place to visit. I would just recommend everyone skip the line and order online!

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. The cake layers were moist and it wasn't overly sweet.

Our experience with Bittersweet Bakery was exceptional from beginning to end. We ordered our…read morewedding cake from Bittersweet, and they made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. 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 pastries at bittersweet will never disappoint. I grew up going to this bakery and the quality…read morehas never wavered. 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)
