Something sweet for everyone

by phillips07

Roeser's is the best! I have a huge sweet tooth and have always been satisfied at Roeser's Bakery. Each time I have gone in, whether to get a cake, bread, sweet roll, etc. I received friendly service. The parking lot next to the bakery helps a ton also! Their cakes truly are one of a kind. If you want somewhere new to go check out Roeser's-- its a great place for a sunday morning sweet or a to get a cake for a party. Compared to what else is available around me (Jewel, etc.) I will certainly drive the extra 10 minutes-- its worth it!

• Pros: Parking, service, product
• Cons: Can get a bit busy on the weekends

Chicago's Landmark Bakery

by BradGr

I remember this bakery from the days of Bozo's Circus. After driving by on a Sunday, I decided to pull over and order a cake and take some doughnuts home. Great service, a smiling happy staff and just a wonderful tasting cake. Where some bakeries overdue the frosting, this cake had the correct amount without over doing it. Others seem to layer on the frosting and you get a sugary burn in your throat. This is a Chicago Landmark that you don't want to miss. *******

• Pros: great tasting treats
• Cons: Very busy on Saturday Mornings
