Love that they open at 0600 hours, even though I don't get there til almost 7am.
Love the scones even though I'm still hoping for a breakfast scone like The Other Brother in Evanston makes).
Tasty pastries like Dominiques and filled croissants, and custom cakes (including Yule logs) near to die for!
Great bakery!!!! Customer service was top notch. Love the Chance the Rapper cookies 🍪 great idea!!!!! Key lime tart to die for
Good pastries with some staples and some specialized. Coffee is good and if you're looking for a really nice custom cake this is the place to go.
However I'm knocking this to four stars as is gone downhill over the years. I'm not sure if they've lost business or there's been a change in ownership, but they've lost two of their three storefronts and their variety isn't what it used it be.
There's no longer any seating, so if you're looking for a place to work remotely or read while enjoying your coffee - this isn't it. And even then if you're thinking of making this your daily coffee/croissant there's a lot of other options that are just as good, if not better.
Still, this is worth going to, especially if you're looking to get a custom cake.
Our wedding cake was amazing. Words can’t describe how beautiful they made it. Not only was it a site to see but the red velvet we went with was to die for! Highly recommend them
My husband and I ordered a vanilla cake with ganache filling and white Italian meringue buttercream for our October 2023 wedding. It was absolutely delicious and beautiful decorated as requested! Many of our guests complimented the cake saying it was the best wedding cake they have ever had.
This bakery has been here for over 100 years. They are definitely doing something right. Great pastries, cookies and cakes. After 7pm the store is half off. Their cakes are decorated so cute! On the pricey end but worth it. Fresh and tasty. Also the store has a very relaxing let's eat cookies and walk around town vibe.
We used Alliance Bakery for our wedding cake! We actually had 2 cakes- a bride's and a groom's. Stacy was great to work with! There was a lot of back and forth on size, tiers, flavors, etc, but she was patient as I slowly made up my mind. The tasting here was the yummiest out of the approx 4 bakeries we tried. I had been told by another bakery that it is standard to have a faux cutting cake with sheet cake in the back. This was not my preference and thankfully Alliance said their standard is to make the entire cake real! Everything turned out just the way we wanted!
This bakery has some of the best oatmeal raisin cookie I've ever had. It has nuts in it too. So if you have allergies...make sure it's just oatmeal raisin. Sorry couldn't get a picture...I pretty much snorted that cookie. 🤷🏿 😂😂😂 I got pics of the themed cookies though. The BHM one was dope! If I'm in Wicker Park again... definitely coming back!
My mom loved her cake! I was extremely busy during the times I scheduled to drop off flowers and pick up the cake but the staff were courteous enough to call me, and extend the time to bring the flowers and hold the cake until the next day. The cake itself looked pretty and tasted good. Everyone at the gathering enjoyed it.
I contacted Alliance Bakery 4 days before a surprise birthday lunch to create a cake. They were able to accommodate my requests and the end-result was gorgeous but most of all, it was the most delicious cake I've ever tasted! The flavors were: vanilla cake with lemon curd filling and raspberry rose buttercream filling, with Italian buttercream frosting. This will be my new "go-to" bakery, do not hesitate to order from here!
We were celebrating the release of my girlfriend's book, so I reached out to Alliance for a cake and sent over the book cover for inspiration. I thought the cake would just be the same color as the cover or screen-printed on — instead I got an incredible recreation of the entire cover in cake form! They were so creative and added all these thoughtful touches (like a 3D fondant pen!) that made the release party wonderfully special. Plus, it was delicious. Getting the quote was easy — I did all online, it was super transparent and easy to understand, and they got back to me in a timely fashion. Can't say enough good things about Alliance! 10/10 from start to finish
I ordered my son's birthday cake from Alliance Bakery. He's obsessed with deep sea creatures and wanted an anglerfish cake. After some emails back and forth, we settled on a design, and I couldn't have been happier. I am just amazed at the quality of their work. My son was so excited and guests were absolutely amazed. Every detail was considered (even the inside of the anglerfish's mouth!). Fantastic! Thank you!
