The Best Chicago Bakeries
I can’t say this post is especially frugal, but it is food, and it is some of the most delicious food: in Chicagoland: the bakeries.
Whether you’re from the city or visiting, you need to make time for some of the amazing bakeries around here. Seriously. Can you think of anything more fun than a nicely packaged box of cupcakes or cookies? I can’t. And in Chicagoland, here are my top four favorites:
1. Swirlz, 705 W Belden Ave, Lincoln Park, Chicago: The best frosting anywhere and gorgeous presentation.
2. Sweet Mandy B’s, 1208 W Webster Ave, Lincoln Park, Chicago: Literally, get anything. I dare you to be disappointed.
3. Bleeding Heart, 1955 W Belmont Ave, Roscoe Village, Chicago: Best Earl Grey cookies I’ve ever had. Extra bonus: all organic!
4. Bennison’s, 1000 Davis St, Evanston: They get points for the supercool vintage storefront and the window view into the actual bakery. I love, love the petit fours, and the prices are very reasonable.
