I cannot say enough good things about this business and will gladly use them again whenever we are in Chicago!

So let me first start out, Kort has one of the best customer service & sweetest personality I've…read moreever met. Beautiful designs and love the work behind his business! When it comes to scheduling, Kort and his team also has your back! Super friendly and generous too! This is beyond any customer service or any bakery I've ever been to with such a good service. I'm blown away by him and his team. Thank you so much for making my cake on such short notice & all the time changes. I ordered a strawberry shortcake w/ vanilla buttercream cake last year and it was so beautiful too; very simple yet intricate and lovely design with roses & macaroons. I told him on short notice(literally the day of) to make the cake & he managed to make it look so beautiful. The pink cake was my first cake I've ever purchased from him, a bit out of my price range, but I heard his cakes were good! So if I was rating on design, 11/10, it's top notch! The flavor wasn't perfect for my family. I had put the cake in the fridge and when I went to cut it; it was super hard and it wasn't pleasant. The flavor was missing something and we really didn't do much with the cake. I've always put cake in the fridge and I should've asked before I left, but I didn't. So I told Kort(Owner) about the cake and he offered to compensate me a new cake which a year later; I got this cake for my mom! So today; we celebrated my moms birthday which is on Friday. I ordered basically the same cake since my mom really enjoys fruit / strawberry cake. I ordered with him one week prior (Jan 28)to my moms birthday(Feb 7th ) to make this cake. Initially it's scheduled to be picked up on the 7th, but I told him I needed the cake by the 6th: time rolled around and the day before I celebrated my moms birthday; she said we were celebrating it on the 5th. So the night before that, I told him I needed the cake by the 5th and he managed ONCE again t make this cake on such a tight schedule. I know I haven't been the best customer, but I really appreciate his efforts to make things right & helping us create something beautiful for my mom's birthday. The cake is the same, but I think there's a custard-curd filling which my family really enjoyed. A strawberry shortcake with vanilla buttercream. It was maybe a bit sweet, cake was dense a little bit, but that's okay! We've never had cream like this before, and it was strange to begin with, but it's super creamy and tasty!! Flavor was pretty good! My family really enjoyed lit and really loved the artwork(flowers) as decorations. I didn't put the cake in the fridge and I'm glad it turned out well! We didn't see how the cake looked like until we opened the box, so it was such a beautiful surprise to look at the lovely cake. Everything's fresh, even the flowers, and designs; so beautiful work I'm super impressed with how it turned out & i would definitely go back to Kort for cakes especially for his customer service & his gorgeous designs. :) Design : 11/10! Taste/Texture: 9/10 Customer service : 15/10 if I could! To sum up, it was a beautiful cake, beautiful even layers, beautiful designs, and I loved it. Thank you for making my mom's birthday a blast! She's going to use these roses for something special. This place makes these designs unlike any other bakery or cake place I've bought from. If you want great service & high quality fresh ingredients, tasty cakes & lovely designs, I definitely would recommend Kort! Thank you once again for all you've done for me and my family with the cake! We appreciate this more than you know and I definitely look forward to buying cakes or others in the future! :)

They were super quick to respond and it was so nice that they were able to accomodate my order, and didn't make me feel like I was behind haha. They made a BEAUTIFUL cake and the pick up process was very easy. The boxed it up very nicely and she was ready to go! On top of that, she was half the price of what I was quoted from the other spots! The cake itself was tasty but I will say... the frosting was a bit of a let down. It didn't have much flavor, just kind of tasted like butter, both in terms of flavor and texture. Maybe we didn't let it sit out long enough before eating it? But... look how pretty!

This is my absolute most favorite bakery. So this is my ode to the bakery and Dom, who is a gem of…read morean employee there. I've been a customer of almost 10 years and have been obsessed since they first opened their doors at a different location. I literally live an hour away without traffic and even longer with traffic, but I make sure to stop by or send someone else to get it for me at least once a month or more. I love the amazing cakes that are so delicious and unique but on top of that, it is Asian owned, LGBTQ supporting, etc. A lot has changed since their little storefront with no seating. The bakery is now a full on cafe and I'm so happy to see how much they've grown and how successful they are. And while it is glorious, I will say I miss the sweet neighborhood charm and great customer service it used to have. Getting in touch with the bakery through phone or text can be tough and to be honest, sometimes one of the people working there is kind of...very mean. It had me questioning if I should keep coming back. I just love this bakery so much though and being raised by parents that had a small food business, I can't help but want to support. I had a particularly difficult last minute request for the bakery a few weeks ago and I was reminded why this place is so great. It had been YEARS since I made this specific request, which was an order for a slice of cake for every flavor and a cupcake for every flavor. This is a BIG and time consuming request, especially if it's last minute. Unfortunately I come to the city whenever the traffic isn't atrocious, so it's always last minute. Dom absolutely pulled through though. Even though there were other employees there (I saw two others but one disappeared and then another male was kind of walking around the cafe and such), Dom took this giant request and fulfilled it himself. The other gentleman (not the mean person previously mentioned) was actually who I made the request to, but he told Dom to do it. I was kind of confused why they didn't do it together but idk, maybe the other guy isn't allowed to handle food? Who knows. Regardless, this request obviously took a long time and the line was getting longer; people were getting a little restless but Dom stayed calm but was swift. I swear he was moving faster than most people in the industry could with a cake knife like that. He was not impatient or rude to me at all. He was just there to do his job as fast and well as possible. It's so rare to see that type of work ethic. He is also so obviously proud of the bakery and the food they serve which makes you feel good about being a patron there. So although I continue to have an unpleasant experience with one particular employee there, Dom keeps my love for this bakery alive. He reminds me of what this bakery was like when they first opened their doors. I hope Dom is cherished there and I bet he is considering his work ethic. I will continue to support this bakery and I recommend everyone else to support as well. It may not be that small little shop anymore but Dom is a reminder of the heart of the place.

They lived out of state for a bit and tried to replicate this specific cake from other bakeries, but it never came close. Needless to say, we had to try this one of a kind cake.

They reached out to the chef-owner and he graciously offered to make them a new cake the next time they came in. We popped into this cute bakery with a vintage flare this Sunday and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The cake was gorgeous and tasted just as great! If you're a fan of chocolate, you're about to be in heaven! Chocolate cake, raspberry preserve and chocolate mousse filling, chocolate buttercream frosting, covered in chocolate ganache. So rich, creamy, moist and decadent. A little goes a long way! The flavors and textures were perfectly balanced and the raspberry coulis made me smile with each bite. Thank you Alliance for your excellent service and delicious creations.

The cake tasting was a wonderful experience, giving us plenty of delicious options to choose from while helping us create the perfect cake for our special day. Throughout the entire process, their communication was outstanding. They kept us informed every step of the way and worked directly with our wedding venue, "Firehouse Chicago", to coordinate the delivery and logistics. Everything was handled seamlessly, and our cake arrived exactly as planned without a single issue. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Bittersweet's professionalism, organization, and proactive approach gave us one less thing to worry about. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellent customer service truly stood out. One feature we especially love is that they keep the recipe and design of your wedding cake on file. Every anniversary, they can recreate your wedding cake or a cake in any size you choose. We've continued this tradition, and each anniversary cake has been just as delicious as the original while bringing back wonderful memories of our wedding day. If you're looking for a bakery that is responsive, dependable, and delivers an outstanding product, I highly recommend Bittersweet Bakery for your wedding cake or any bakery needs. They responded promptly to our questions and requests, unlike some businesses that never replied to estimate inquiries. Their customer service and quality were truly exceptional. A heartfelt thank you to Samuel who conducted the Cake Tasting and the entire staff at Bittersweet Bakery for helping make our dream wedding a reality. We will always be grateful and look forward to celebrating many more anniversaries with your incredible cakes.
