I'm so sad about this bakery closing does anyone know if there's another location- the owner was so nice and the products were amazing .

Disappointing. I got coffee and two pastries from the glass case. My croissant was slightly burnt on the bottom. The other pastry I don't know the name of, but it had spinach and cheese. It was dry and could have had more flavor. I don't think I'll be back unfortunately. read more

Nice large area with traditional bake goods. I tried the spinach and cheese pockets which were freshly made. Criapy and delicious and would come back for more. read more

Amazing mocha lattes and always great service! Would definitely recommend checking them out!

Excellent baklava and the owner is extremely nice. Excellent place, have yet to buy something I didn't like

I'm a regular patron there. All there pastries are excellent. Service is above and beyond. The owner Yiannis is outstanding, makes you feel at home. Beautiful vibes. The variety in pastries is mind blowing. Two thumbs up, I highly recommend Zymi Bakery. read more

Great Greek bakery in Norwood Park. Amazing cookies and simple traditional custard cake. Will be back!

You know, I've never really been a "sweets" person, but a more savory one. But there's something about a Greek zaxaroplasteio (bakery) that is just so satisfying! The aroma of buttery flaky phyllo, cinnamon, chocolate, and more. Thanks to my Chicago friends for introducing me to this wonderful new spot in the Park Ridge area! @zymibakery21 Thank you to Yianni the owner for his filoxenia! Must Try *Bougatsa *Freddo Cappuccino *Nutella Moussee Profiterole *Ekmek Kataifi * * Follow me on IG: ouzoadventures read more

This is a Greek bakery I asked a friend about before trying (he said it was good) so I decided to check it out. Went in to see if I could get a piece of baklava cheesecake and try a couple other things out. I also got a piece of orange cake and a piece of souvlaki (the authentic style). The place was empty when I arrived and the owner popped out of the back to serve me my order, a few other patrons entered as I was finishing up with my order. It's a pretty nice and clean place, pricing is a little high but what isn't nowadays. I love trying new things and other than souvlaki, I've never tried either of the other two items before this time. Recommend stopping in for fulfilling a sweet tooth. read more

Amazingly tasting desserts and baked goods. Very high quality food. The Best tasting Freddo Cappuccino and Espresso. read more

Upon walking in, you can immediately tell this bakery takes pride in what they do. It smelt like freshly brewed espresso beans, baked goods, and everything was so organized and perfectly placed. Baklava goods rested gently in clear containers and it was clear that everything was baked fresh this morning. I ordered a Greek coffee and it was probably the smoothest I ever had! I loved it and everything about this bakery. It's so cute, aesthetically built for instagram content - even if you're not on social media it is an upbeat cafe with great beans. read more

Zymi Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

New Greek bakery and wonderful addition to the neighborhood. Zymi Bakery is the best bakery I have ever been to in my life...no exaggeration. The owner, artist and creator is clearly talented. All you have to do to know that is come in and try a few of the delicious pastries, pizzas, breads, cakes, coffees, smoothies and the list goes. There is a huge variety. Hands down the best carrot cake and baklava I've ever tasted. This place is so awesome we're here on Memorial Day chillin' outside, drinking our mocha & frapé, eating our pastries in their beautifully decorated outdoor space...and I am writing this review. Beautiful flowers, succulents & shrubs and the indoor/outdoor sound system with cool dance transforms this right on Milwaukee Ave. space into a chill spot. Come and get your sweet tooth on and than go walk it off. You won't regret it. read more

Love this place, new Greek bakery on Milwaukee. Great coffee, fantastic pastries just a nice place to come and relax. I like the savory puff pastries filled with cheese and spinach. They also have a selection of lunch sandwiches, haven't tried them but they look great. Ordered my daughters confirmation cake from her, can't wait to see it! read more

Ordered from Zymi for my husband's 50th birthday cake and all my guests raved about the cake! It was fresh and delicious! This will be my go too bakery from now on! read more

We go to this place frequently. You will find the coffee and the bakery products tasty and well presented. It is great to have a place that takes you out of the routine of corporate coffee shops. The owner, who is the baker, is on another level of politeness and is very friendly and respectful. We recommend that people at least try it read more

First time to Zymi and we will be back! My son loves the macaroons, cookies and I love the smoothies and other desserts. Very friendly staff! This is a wonderful addition to our neighborhood! read more

Stopped in today and am so glad I did!By far the BEST spanakopita and galaktobourko ever!!!!!!Will be back for more ....Thank You Zymi! read more

Disappointed to say the least. I was looking forward to better Greek deserts. We ordered several pastries. They were not fresh, actually stale. Also a bit pricey. I don't mind paying a buck or two more for something that's good and fresh. This wasn't the case here unfortunately. Disappointed. read more

I stopped in for a quick coffee this morning, and was impressed with the beautiful displays of pastries, sandwiches, and other treats. Ioannis was friendly and helpful when describing each item. Prices were quite reasonable, and the Greek Coffee and sandwich were delicious. The picture doesn't do the food justice! read more

Wow! I stopped by today to get some Greek treats, and was not expecting to get amongst the best Greek pastries I've ever had, but that is what happened!! Absolutely delicious! read more

Great Fredo expressi! Fresh pastries! Friendly service! Worth a visit, support small businesses!

Local treasure. Recently open family owned bakery with Greek treats. Also bread on Fridays and Saturday. Nice place to sit inside with European ambiance and even outside if weather allows. The owner is present all the time. Parking free available. Very good coffee. read more

A gem! Great baked goods, delicious latte and a really great video playing showing the owner's skillz :)

One of my favorite bakeries! He has two kinds of spinach pies - traditional with phyllo dough and BEST EVER ---his very own homemade with a completely different dough! He runs out quickly so you'll need to ask him if there's any in the back. A MUST!!!!! He also has ham, cheese and tomatoes "pies" that are outstanding along with homemade cookies, custard, chocolate cakes and wonderful greek breads (go early and they're still hot!) only $3 - $6 each and one loaf can feed a family! PLEASE NOTE: They're are some pastries that are obviously purchased and mass produced from elsewhere. I've been to Chicago Sweet Connections in the neighborhood and fairly certain this where some of the cakes (i.e. - Napoleon (goes by a different name), berry and black forest cake) from here. They taste horrible! I threw out the Napoleon because it tasted like chemicals! I am a baker and can easily detect these disgusting ingredients. You can easily tell the mass produced items so - just so you know. Despite this I highly recommend this wonderful place which now has a dine -in area w/tables and sofas. Go! Get the good homemade stuff! read more

The best creme brule I've had is here. Try the rum ball and almond bars too!

We got such good desserts and sandwiches! With great hospitality & great coffee. Will definitely be back

Very kind staff. Love the remodel. Great place to hang out with an iced coffee and one of their many sweet treats.

This place is absolutely amazing! I had to pick up a last minute cake for my partner. As I was trying to enter, the owner was closing up shop a little earlier (holiday), but he still took me in without me even explaining anything to him. He was so nice and so kind. I ended up getting a tres leches cake with a bunch of macaroons. Everyone loved the cake at the party! I will definitely be going back! read more

I loved the baked goods from Zymi. Excellent pastry, especially the galaktabouriko, and orange cake. Definitely will be going way out of the way to get back there. read more

Bravo! This place is fantastic ! Went here for the 1s time this week. The man who is the baker is kind and cute. He won lots of awards. The Greek pasty so delicious. New favorite! read more

Great selection and an excellent baker!!! They have recently expanded their space to include a new seating area.

I stopped for bread today, my second visit and the bread was disappointing and nowhere near the quality of my first visit. The first time I went here the bread was freshly baked and still slightly warm--a great loaf of Greek bread. Today I bought two loaves that did not have that same freshness. One sesame loaf was hard and chewy--it did not taste fresh , and the other loaf was a round white loaf that lacked freshness and did not have the same taste as previous loaves. It totally lacked that fresh squishy consistency. Quite honestly I tried each loaf at home and ended up throwing them away--what a waste of money! I refuse to use up carb calories on bad bread! read more

Awesome place. Drove past it and went in on a whim.. really interesting stuff and delicious too!

Stale bread sold that was probably never very good to begin with. Their desserts were flavorless. No place to sit and dine in.

Don't waste your time going here. If like eating thee day old bakery goods that's fine. A total waste of money. Rating is probably a negative ten. read more
