Button Bakery - Chocolate cake slice - Bakeries Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

wicked gread scones. I wish this bakery was on the south side of Chicago. Bread is great too read more

I love that we have a wonderful bakery nearby selling amazing baked goods! I have not tried their breads or sandwiches yet however their dessert and pastry section are divine. Our favorites so far are their: *Chocolate coconut macaroons *Raspberry squares *Bread pudding I've also tried their pizza slices. The pizza is decent although their pizza sauce leans sweet. There is metered parking on Main street or metered public parking lot next door if Main street is full. Service is swift and friendly and on certain days the line goes out the door. Pricing is fair too given the quality of their goods. Button bakery is a welcomed addition to the neighborhood and is truly a gem! read more

I got a few things to go and was excited to try it out. The vibe inside is really cool, old fashioned almost feels like the famous newsstand down the street. This feels more like a breakfast pastry kinda place than a cake place, if that matters to you, but they definitely have a range of baked goods. Everything I had was tasty, the guy working the counter gave me some great suggestions. Only reason I'm saying 4 instead of 5 is because they reheated my pepperoni focaccia in the microwave, which just doesn't give the best result. I would definitely go back and maybe reheat on my own if I wanted something hot. Breads looked beautiful. read more

First time trying this bakery. The pizza looks so good but we only tried sweets this time around. I forget what the coconut bar is called but it's so soft and topped with coconut flakes. I'll definitely have to go back to try the pizza! read more

It's above average. Great choc chip cheesecake and pretzel was also above average. The chocolate chip cookie was a rare oatmeal blend but just okay. Overall, decent if you're in the area. read more

I came here to try their baguette. That's my primary bakery product. No scones or muffins for me. Got it home and tried it with good high butter fat butter. It was quite good except that it had too many large air holes. Didn't knead it before rolling it out. Not like the French bakeries. They have pizza slices and other breads. read more

A fantastic little bakery in south Evanston, with a large variety of bakery goods, focusing on bread and pizza. The pastries are also yummy, using high quality ingredients over a selection of traditional and chef created savories and sweets. I've tried the cookies, cinnamon roll, rosemary and Vienna breads. Let me not forget the yummy, perfect pretzel. It's soft and flavorful, and would most likely be delicious warmed up, but my pretzels have yet to make it home. This bakery is locally owned, by a local family. Supporting local businesses is a superpower, and I will put my money where my mouth is with this bakery and continue to help them grow. It's a lovely, ambient little space with very well designed layout and accoutrements. Warm and homey! Go support this wonderful new business. read more

Button Bakery - Beautiful Vienna bread - Bakeries Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

What a great bakery! I bought myself a chocolate chip scone and a loaf of sourdough for a friend. So many items looked tasty, so I'll have to come back again soon to try more. The pizza! The bread! Staff was kind and helpful. Line was out the door but moved quickly. Cute inside! read more

Evanston's Main St never smelled so scrumptious! They bake fresh all morning from 4 am. Drop by and buy 1 thing, Afterwards you'll return. (It can be crowded) Pizza! read more

always in search of a great scone. This place has them and much more. So good! I wish it was in Hyde Park!!!! highly recommend if you are near chicago and main in Evanston, that you stop in. read more

This place just opened and I already went three times in one week! I've tried their bread, sandwiches, and pastries so far, and everything was wildly delicious. Great addition to South Evanston, and in walking distance for many as it's on the same block as the Metra! Infinite bonus points for their nice, normal pricing that isn't tone deaf to the neighborhood's income diversity. And finally, they are on a walkable stretch, have a bike rack out front, and another reviewer said the owners are cyclists, which just makes me (as a neighborhood cyclist disappointed by the anti-bike-lane-activist businesses up on Dempster) excited for Main Street to be on such a roll with great additions (Button Bakery is instantly beloved, too - it's never empty, which is wild for a place that just opened a few weeks ago). read more

First time in. I had the best scone ever, flavorful, airy, not hard but with a great crust. Will be back to try everything else.

Buttons Bakery just opened, but their pastries are already some of the best in town--flaky, not too sweet, and super fresh. The space is bright and warm. read more

This place is so cute. Excellent food, the owner actually took the order and had great vibes. I will go here again. We got some sweets and a pizza. The pizza was delicious and (don't judge me) I don't like pizza! So come on that says a lot. Sweets were great too. read more

Got a sampling of many of their desserts. The Kongo bar hit all the right notes, and their raspberry bar was great as well.

Wow, what a wonderful addition to the neighborhood! You can smell the delightful treats from afar as you approach this quaint shop. The people are incredibly friendly and even got chairs out for us so that we could enjoy our breakfast outdoors. Prices were reasonable (around $3 for a scone, cinnamon roll, or muffin) and there was a nice variety. The cranberry orange muffin was moist and almost cake like with a subtle glaze. The double chocolate chip scone was delightful and not at all dense or hard as some scones can be. The pretzels were fresh out of the oven and had a bread like quality. Would definitely recommend and look forward to coming back! read more

Button Bakery - Yummy giant pretzel (only $2.50)!! - Bakeries Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Delicious fresh bread and cookies! Haven't tried the pizza yet but only heard good things,will try soon.

The best baguette in town and gorgeous pastries and pizza slices. It's a dream?? And about a third less than the competition. It's a total find. read more

This place, this place!!!!!! Button Bakery is my new favorite place! Small, cute little bakery with amazing and kind staff! I purchased sourdough bread, bread pudding, and a pretzel. The bread pudding is the best desert I have ever had, absolutely delicious! Sourdough bread, a slice was had immediately when I got back in my car, phenomenal. My daughter thought " they put other pretzels to shame"! Enough said. Can't wait to try out sandwiches and pizza. What a wonderful addition to an already amazing Evanston! Button Bakery does not disappoint! read more

So far, it's been great. Small but fresh and I think family owned. I love that they have pizza by the slice...Evanston lacks this - especially south east. I suspect if this place had a walk up window with just pizza by the slice they'd make a killing (perhaps a future business idea )! I haven't tried the bread yet but looking forward to it. About the only thing I haven't been crazy about has been the cold hard brownie. Focaccia was excellent, pizza great, cranberry orange muffin has been my favorite baked good so far. read more

I really appreciate the new bakery on Main Street, run by experienced bakers. It adds a touch of elegance to the whole area, with delicious smells and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The music playing under the front sign creates a charming vibe as you walk in. You can immediately tell it's run by professionals--from the tasty baked goods to the clean, simple layout. While it's not a sit-down café, there's a small terrace outside where you can relax and enjoy your treats. I also appreciate their pricing too with great services. read more

I am so beyond happy that we finally have a Bakery back on main street! And what a bakery it is! Button bakery has some of the best scones, muffins, freshly baked breads, homemade soft, pretzels, focaccia, bread... And now they're making incredible pizzas! This is honestly your one stop for sweet and savory!! read more

What could be better than a fantastic bakery down the street? That is definitely a rhetorical question. Button Bakery is phenomenal. It has changed my life. I studied in France for a year and a half when I was in college. Then I ended up living in Italy for many years. In other words, I am utterly addicted to high-quality bread. A crusty loaf of sourdough is always delightful. The Main Multigrain is exceptional. I'm always searching for European-style bread. That doesn't cost a lot of "dough", so to speak. I have found it at The Button. Since I live in the neighborhood, I frequently walk by Button Bakery, and it is nearly always jam-packed. Since the day it opened. How many businesses are successful from day one? They have great sandwiches, pizzas, pretzels, and loads of sweet treats for those of you with a sweet tooth. I'm thrilled that they are doing so well, and not just for them. From a totally selfish standpoint, I want them to stay open forever and a day, so that I can buy my breads and pretzels close to home. Button Bakery has added a touch of charm to Main Street. Stop loafing around and go try it out! I highly recommend everything they offer. read more

Fresh, delicious, bread, cookies, pizza, sandwiches, and pastries. Unpretentious and inviting little storefront with outdoor cafe tables. Friendly service. Will be back to try their sandwiches and pizza soon! read more

Our new favorite place to pick up a fresh loaf of bread! We tried the San Francisco Sourdough and the Ciabatta. Both were the best we've ever had! We also tried the pretzel (so soft, great crust) and scones. The place itself is small and cute! We didn't care for the button cookie- a little dry/hard. Excellent service, the woman behind the counter described all the baked goods ! Can't wait to go back! read more

This place is an absolute treasure in our neighborhood! Everyone working here gives exceptional service. Also, it is so quaint inside, with fully stocked bakers cabinets, and beautiful glass cases, it is a treat for the eyes (as well as for your tummy)! As if all these things weren't enough, the food and baked goods are incredible! We treated ourselves to 2 of their salted pretzels, a cheese pizza, and a pepperoni pizza. I also couldn't help myself from scooping up a loaf of fresh sourdough bread, and a chocolate crinkle cookie! The prices here are so reasonable for the quality of food, service, and ambiance you get to enjoy. If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would. Absolutely incredible! read more

Button Bakery - A $16 single-topping pizza! So delicious, and what a bargain! - Bakeries Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Super friendly staff and amazing baguettes! Will definitely become a regular spot for us.

Delicious breads, scones, and cookies. Usually one or two kinds of bread pudding. A small bit choice selection of sandwiches.

Great baked goods, both Bread and pastries, pizza too. Amazing new addition to South Evanston.

This place is incredible with amazing bread and their pretzels are literally the best ive ever tried (if you like the soft variety). Scones are amazing, and when i stop by they have a good variety of things i haven't tried yet. Great spot to just hang out and get some baked treats you won't regret. 10/10 read more

First of all what a lovely family run business, so welcoming and hospitable! The vibes alone are worth a visit! The service is quick and efficient. Staff and customers are friendly and sociable. I am happy to recommend the MainSt multi grain bread, the cranberry walnut bread, the blueberry muffins and the brownies Everything tastes so fresh and is very satisfying. My absolute favorite so far has been the plain banana muffins. Don't Get me wrong, the banana chocolate chip muffins are very good too but I've never had a more delicious muffin than the plain banana. It was dense but moist, sweet but not too sweet, and the banana flavor really came through! I'm planning on trying everything...from scones to pizza. It all looks and smells so good! welcome to the neighborhood Button Bakery! read more

Cannot wait to try!!!!! We have been going to Village Baker for 15 years. So excited to learn your delicious products are now in our area!!! read more

I have had yelp for years and never left a review. I actually needed to leave a review for Button Bakery. I even called the bakery to let them know. I'm a home baker myself, their chocolate chip cookie is the best most amazing cookie I have ever had in my entire life. I literally took a bite and stopped walking. It's perfectly chewy, big, the chocolate was amazingly melty, and had crunchy bits that I assume are either pieces of nuts or pieces of oatmeal. Either way it was absolutely fabulous, service was very fast even though it was busy in there. Warm, welcoming environment. Staff was lovely. THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE IS LIFE CHANGING YOU HAVE TO TRY IT. read more
