What People Are Saying About Angel Food Bakery
Featured Review
Valerie Moloney
Contributor
In Short – Self-taught pastry chef Stephanie Samuels, whose sugary creations have been featured on the Food Network, approaches her cakes as works of art. From a Carmen Miranda "drag queen" cake to a two-tier bowling pin cake topped with a bowling ball, bold colors and patterns demonstrate an appreciation for the whimsical, while more elegant designs satisfy traditional brides and grooms-to-be. Flavors include carrot-ginger, cappucino, lemon ginoise and orange. – –

Best kept secret in Ravenswood!
by Yum1 at Citysearch
What's not to love about this place! The space is warm and inviting from the green walls and EZ bake ovens to the staff. The only problem is that a large chunk of my paycheck is spent at this bakery!! It's easy to see why there are so many "regulars" that frequent this place.
My favs: Vegetable sandwich, gazpacho and mac-n-cheese. Bakery items are amazing: thin mints, red velvet cupcake and whoopie pie - me OH MY!!
Go. There. NOW!
- Pros: Lunch, Brunch and dessert
- Cons: I do with they were open at night. :(

Delicious Buttery Cranberry Oatmeal Scones
by WhiteheadGreene at Citysearch
I ordered a large box of cranberry oatmeal mini-scones for a co-workers birthday. They were reasonably priced for scones, and the size was bigger than I expected. The raves from our staff continue to echo. I have never eaten in the Bakery, though I've long admired the beautiful cakes in the window. I had called with less than a 24-hour notice (cakes, I learned, require a 48-hour notice) and was helped in the most friendly way possible considering I had no idea what I wanted to order. Excellent, buttery Cranberry Oatmeal scones. I think I've started an office tradition!
- Pros: 7 AM Pickup; Proximity to Montrose Brown Line
- Cons: None

Not just for dessert
by fredsox49 at Citysearch
This place is known for its desserts but the sandwiches and salads are excellent too. Don't miss the malted-milk chocolate cupcake through; it's worth the trip.
- Pros: Good lunch fare and excellent desserts

Loved, loved, loved it!
by donutburgers at Citysearch
I am shocked by the bad reviews. This place is awesome! Everything is incredibly unique and delicious. Of all dessert shops, this is my favorite. I am not just a lover of sweets, I'm an actual chef...and I still love it. I ordered a carrot cake from here and it was beautiful and tasty. The marzipan work is amazing. Try the pink marshmallow beehive cupcake - the chocolate malted cupcake - even the gazpacho. I think the price is completely fair - compare it to anyplace else - its the frickin city - everything is pricy and small businesses are doing their best to stay alive.
I'm so sorry to the write who got bad service. I've never been in when it was busy. I hope you change your mind and give it another try.

boston creme cupcake is deeeelish!
by thechigirl at Citysearch
... but everything is so expensive.
love the baked goods - muffins, cupcake, cookies, homemade twinkies - but, it's unfortunately too $$$ to make it a daily habit. the lunch/brunch food portions are teeny-tiny and $$$.
go for the baked goods when you want to splurge.
