Great baked goods. !! Coffee is not as amazing but I have never been disappointed with their items

This is a great little bakery that packs a punch! We stopped here for a quick bite between visiting Ernest Hemingway birthplace and starting our Frank Lloyd Wright heritage tour. It was perfect for a quick bite. There were amazing baked goods on display and we chose the kale salad scone, rosemary apricot scone, and pimento biscuit sandwich. All baked goods are beautiful and generously sized. All were delicious and unique. The cafe also has a full compliment of coffee drinks, but as it was a hot day we chose iced tea. I had an Arnold Palmer. There is self serve water as well. The selection is limited to baked goods only. We didn't try the cookies or cakes, but they looked amazing. The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating in a small area surrounding potted plants making for an inviting setting with limited space. The staff are efficient and calm. If there is a line, as we were told there usually is, it moves quickly. I recommend this spot for a sweet or savory bite. read more

Great pastries and great vibes! Must try the bourbon banana bread and the iced vanilla matcha!

I can't understand why I have not wrote a review for this bakery. Probably because I eat it so fast I also don't have pictures to remind me. The location is probably the only issue I have because it's not close to me and their is always traffic. The sweet and savory cornbread biscuits are the best textured goods I have ever had. Soft on the inside with crunch on the outside and full of flavor. I prefer the sweet personally with the butter and homemade jam. The scones are a second favorite of mine with the newest addition of blue cheese, bacon, and sage being my favorite. A second would be the kale and cheddar. The BT Latte is also a staple for me with their homemade cinnamon coconut syrup. Just go already. read more

We were in the area and wanted a coffee. Instead of going to our usual Starbucks we decided to support a local shop. We looked on Yelp and saw how well loved Broken Tart was and it was a no brainer to visit. They have street parking right outside and it was not hard to find parking at all. Once I entered I was overwhelmed with all of the delicious pastries. Not knowing what to order I asked for their favorite and best selling items because I wanted to try them all. We ended up with the ricotta chocolate chip bread, both their rosemary scone and their kale and tomato scone, along with their almond pastry. None of these disappointed at all. In fact it was so good we ate all of it before we even left our parking spot. Haha, and we had no shame about it. The same went with drinks. She made incredible recommendations for both a caffeinated and a lightly caffeinated beverage. They recommended their most popular Broken Tart latte and my husband was obsessed. He loved all of their spices and said it was actually one of the best lattes he's had in such a long time. For me, since I am limited on my caffeine intake, had their plum iced tea. It was delicious, I have never had anything like it and I couldn't stop drinking it. It went great with the pastries as well. Needless to say, if you're in the area, be sure to stop by and enjoy some of their delectable treats. You won't be disappointed! read more

The cutest little bakery shop in Oak Park! Was able to find parking right on Chicago Ave. It's very small inside with limited seating and it was busy when I came in around 8am. Once you walk in, you are greeted with their mouthwatering display of pastries, and of course the kind staff. I got one of every cookie and tried both the savory and sweet cornbread biscuits. The cookies were buttery and the size of your head! My fav was the cookies n cream cookie! My thoughts on the biscuits: Sweet biscuit: comes with butter and jam on the inside. The sweetness is subtle. The jam and butter combo was delish. Savory biscuit: came with cheese and I think salt? Simple yet delish. read more

I was expecting more pastry options. Looks like they focus on limited options for their to-go cases. Drinks were fun, and the basil lemonade was very refreshing. I was not a fan of the cardamom roll, but would go back for the olive oil cake. read more

I could never write enough reviews about broken tart. I've been way too many times and it's always a blessed time. The treats and pastries are great! There's not one item I can recommend as all the options are pretty great. One thing I can say is the food is fresh and the staff's opinions about the food sold are honest. So you tend to have a great idea of what you may be getting yourself into. all in all, please do yourself a favor and stop by. read more

Ultra cute bakery. No designated parking lot. Metered street parking nearby. Small space, line going outside the door. Savory and sweet baked items. When you enter, you see some baked goods on the left side of the counter and then a cashier takes your order, but do yourself a favor and check out the display to the right of the register. I missed a bunch of cakes that would have garnered my attention. Ordered a chili oil fried onion cheese biscuit. It might have been better had it been warmed up but it was cooled, hardened, soaked in chili oil and over-buttered. The rating is more for the ambience. Loved the color scheme and the fresh flowers. Did try a bite of cookie and they're on the thin, crispy, slightly chewy side with a healthy amount of sugar. I wish I saw the cakes before my order was taken, those might have been spectacular. read more

We took a little drive to Oak Park last weekend and we arrived starving. As we frantically searched for a bakery on Yelp, this little gem popped up! Broken Tart did not disappoint. The staff were super friendly, even giving us free stickers! They were out of some staples, but that is a good sign that this place is well loved. We grabbed a gluten free chocolate chip cookie which was heavenly, as well as the pumpkin muffins. I have never had such a tasty, not too sweet, pumpkin muffin in my life! I wish we lived closer. read more

Came in for an afternoon pick me up while on a walk to enjoy the sunshine. I was able to snag the last coconut cake with an espresso glaze along with an iced BT latte which was made with coconut syrup and oat-milk. The cake was so light and not overly sweet. It had the texture of a bundt cake and my drink was sweet and refreshing. There was plenty of seating and there were customers who were doing work or catching up with friends. read more

Best bakery ever. We love the savories here. The kale salad scone, sweet corn bread biscuit are so unique and creative. Muffins are excellent too. Savories are not too sweet, is what I love about the place. Chocolate chip cookies and ginger cream cookies are also excellent. There is a tiny parking lot about two stores over if you plan to eat in. So happy that this place opened in Oak Park! read more

Great Bakery in Oak Park! Walking in.. well usually there's a line, it's rather small with a wide selection of Cakes, Cookies, Muffins, Scones, etc. They're actually known for their Kale Scones but I really like the cookies & muffins! They also have this little thing called a "Financier" that's a MUST TRY. Muffins are huge & loaded with blueberries and the cookies are to die for.. try the *Cookies & Cream* you won't regret it! Staff is always very nice and prices are pretty moderate. To me this joint is worth a half hour drive on a Sunday Morning.. you be the judge! Talk Later read more

Wondered in a few times, the baked goods are outstanding and enjoyed everything we have eaten there. There is often a line to go in to get food to go, summer time also has outside seating, with limited seating inside. It has a bustling cafe vibe and a nice place to meet friends for a chat. They have water available if not getting any beverages on the board. The order process is fast even if busy, but no have not encountered a person working there that does not come across that we they are doing us a favor handing us our food. read more

This bakery is on a really cute location. The decor is cute and dessert case filled when you get there before the rush. Otherwise you'll be waiting outside the door in a pretty good sized line. I had really high hopes when I came here... The staff were very friendly and everything was clean. The ambiance was nice, very cute decor. The baked goods. So I tried the birthday cake or rainbow chip cookie, it was very good. Came out fresh from the oven. The chocolate chip cookies was fresh and delicious too. You could taste the butter and chocolate in every bite. Definitely will be back for these sometime soon. I should've picked up one of the marbled cheesecakes with salted bourbon glaze, they looked phenomenal. I ordered the cinnamon espressos rolls, I wanted this to be good so badly. There was a citrus taste, I believe lemon that just completely threw off the balance of it. The same with the chocolate chip cake slice, also had a lemon or citrus glaze on it. So I think I'll ask next time so I can avoid these sort of picks. Overall, I would return and maybe ask more questions on what I am selecting. And for sure will return for a coffee and cookie. read more

You have been warned: Visit well before closing or else there will be no pastries. I rolled up an hour before closing in desperate need of some coffee and a bread based bakery item to offset the coffee's acidity on my stomach. Sadly they didn't have anything left but the barista was so helpful and recommended a matcha latte. I got the hot matcha latte extra sweet with oat milk and it was a solid choice. They were super nice and gave me an espresso shot because they had run out of pastries and could sense I really needed a boost of caffeine. The inside was nice and bright but if I had time to stay, I would have enjoyed my drink on their patio area. read more

My wife and I stopped into Broken Tart yesterday on a drive while we were fairly far from home, and we're so glad we did. Everything about our visit was fantastic -- from the warm, welcoming vibe to the friendly, attentive service, and most of all, the incredible food. Wed "sampled" two breakfast items and one Olive Oil cake and each was better than the last! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell the team here really takes pride in what they do. What started as a random stop ended up being one of the best bakeries we have ever been to - and we will return. Its worth the drive! We left full, happy, and already talking about when we can come back. If you're anywhere near Oak Park, do yourself a favor and check this place out -- you won't regret it! - The Lanes read more

Tiny little cafe with very nice staff. I ordered and dirty chai, which in my experience are always too sweet or too spicy, but I wanted to give this place a chance. I was not disappointed, they did it just right. Strong enough and very tasty. I got a scone too and it was delish. I picked this place because I intended to walk down to the Frank Lloyd Wright studio, which is 2 blocks away. Excellent coffee, delicious pastries and a beautiful neighborhood. Will def. visit again when Im in town. read more

Charming cafe and bakery! The pastry selections are really on point, their corn bread biscuits are to die for with either salty vs sweet options. The salty version comes with aged cheddar and chili oil which packed a potent umami punch. The sweet option had their seasonal blueberry and butter jam which had the right amount of sweet and salt. The service was fast and they were polite and helpful. The seating inside was clean and airy. Bathrooms in the back were also clean and well stocked. Overall, would definitely come again and try out their other pastry selections! read more

I was driving by and there was a line out the door. Then I read the reviews, and I HAD to stop by. This is such an adorable little bakery/cafe with little seating. The inside is gorgeous - simple yet aesthetic. I ordered: -mocha w/ oat milk -seasonal drink (coconut milk with cinnamon) -cornbread biscuit with butter and seasonal jam -Georgie cake (coffee cake) First, the mocha was great, but unfortunately a bit lukewarm. And now, the biscuit... WOW. I am usually not a huge biscuit fan, but this is different. This "cornbread biscuit" is the most ideal balance of cornbread and biscuit. It's not more or less of one or the other. I had it for takeout and was able to microwave it when I got home. The butter melted into the biscuit and it was so moist and soft on the inside, and nicely baked and crunchy on the outside. I'm drooling just typing this out haha! It had blackberry jam on the inside, which was not too sweet. I loved that the jam was more like smushed blackberries - really adds to the texture. Honestly I never thought I'd be writing this much about a single biscuit, but I think anyone would after trying it. Also how cute is their box? read more

Beautiful, charming local cafe that bakes fresh pastries daily! I always pass by this bakery and am always too late since they close early afternoons. I was so excited to finally try it early Saturday morning. When you first walk in, you are greeted by displays and mounds of fresh pastries. Everything looks so good that it is hard to only choose a few to try. We ended trying their classic corn biscuits, one savory and one sweet along with an iced matcha latte. The biscuits came out served on beautiful vintage looking plates. The Savory Cornbread Biscuit was with aged cheddar and chili oil. It was a delicious combination that made you keep going back for more. I would have loved for it to be served warm so that I could appreciate the biscuit more because the outer crust was a little tough and hard to cut/rip through. The Sweet Cornbread Biscuit was with butter and seasonal blueberry jam which is always a winning combination. The matcha latte was delicious but nothing really special. All the staff were friendly and took my order super fast. There would often be a line but it moved along so fast due to the efficiency of everyone working there. There were constantly fresh new pastries being brought out. The seating area is comfortable and ideal for slow mornings on the weekends. read more

Broken Tart is making me broke. Everything is so delicious and just has homey, welcoming vibes. I can't speak more highly about the chocolate chip cookie and kale scone, they are perfect. They also make a mean matcha latte. I can't stop coming here. read more

My absolute favorite bakery in the Chicago land, their biscuits are phenomenal, and their chocolate chip cookies are the best I've ever had. They are crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle, and there are sprinkled with a generous amount of salt on top. My coworker often brings us broken heart as treats, I loved it so much that I had to go there myself. They sell out very fast, so make sure to go early. read more

Terrible customer service! And very bad vibes. Will not return again. Old and crusty food items

Exceptional bakery with comfy seating areas inside and outside. Love the extra special touch of serving coffee in china with real silverware. Very hygge. Rotating menu items provide that element of surprise and everything I've tried has a wonderful flavor balance with just the right texture. Friendly and helpful staff, no matter how busy they get. Now if only they were open on Mondays.... read more

Currently my favorite bakery which unfortunately is not close to my home, but fortunately is very close to my work! I stop by now and then for an indulgent treat. I LOVE their kale salad scone and their malted chocolate buckwheat cookie is super delicious. The BT latte is also very good. I've also ordered a cake for a special occasion and it was beautiful. It was a little too sweet, which I can probably adjust by choosing different flavors, but still a great cake. The bakery is super cute and always has a little line before opening in the morning. I highly recommend this bakery! read more

Delicious, creative and varied selection of goodies. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.

I was recommended to check out this little bakery in Oak Park and I really enjoyed my visit! I had a fresh birthday cake cookie. My mom loved the ginger crème sandwich, which was 2 ginger cookies with buttercream in between. Everything was so fresh and delicious! They didn't have the biggest selection as an average bakery, but it had a nice variety of options to satisfy one's sweet tooth. They also had some beautiful whole cakes in the case that were unique and different. Definitely check out this cute little bakery if you are in the Oak Park area! It is a small space, so if you are planning to order a coffee and a pastry for dine in, you may not be able to get seating during peak times. read more
