Good Old Roeser's Bakery by Martha F. at InsiderPages

Contributor at Insider Pages

Roeser's Bakery has been here since I was a kid. They take your order over the phone and always get it right for your pick up date & time. Despite the larger than normal number of employees available there is usually a wait. So be prepared to take a number & wait. Our favorite is whipped cream topping, strawberry filling with chocolate & yellow cake combination. Price is higher than average, considering there are other bakeries that make cake of comparable or equal quality for much lower prices. Parking available on North Ave.

Chicago's Landmark Bakery

by BradGr at Citysearch

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

Something sweet for everyone

by phillips07 at Citysearch

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
