    Banana French toast
    Jill G.

    I've been coming here since they opened. The past 5ish years it's been hit or miss. I used to love it. The place has a cute diner hip vibe. The servers are always nice & chill. The food is lacking. Our French toast was great. 5 stars. The last time I was there I had the hash brown, which was a flavorless greasy brick. We keep saying it's our last time, but have tried most of the menu the past 2 years. Nothing to write home about for the price. We are close by, but would rather go to Yolk where the servings are huge & always delish. This time I got the lemon blueberry pancakes. For $13 I expected more. 3 pancakes, 1 was tiny. The coffee is dark matter which is a plus. I'm sure I'll make my way back hoping for a menu upgrade.

    BLT
    Tierra SheReviewz Z.

    We came here for brunch. Prime location but parking can be a bit crazy in West town. We ordered a Dirty Chi latte, Chi latte, Latte and for food the Breakfast tacos, Classic breakfast, and a BLT. Not sold on the food but the outdoor patio was a nice touch and the service was nice!

    Breakfast Eckhart Park Sandwich
    Beth K.

    The food came out very quickly and was really good! The server was friendly, helpful, and thoughtful. We told her we are sharing dishes and she split them up into 4 separate plates. The inside was cute , but we ate in the patio since we had a dog with us. They brought our water for our dog as well. The lattes were tasty as well !

    Eckhart sandwich with add on hash browns.

    It's a cute place with good coffee. Got the Eckhart sandwich with an add on of their special shaped hash browns. The sandwich was tasty but something I could put together myself. Disappointed with the hash browns that I have read great reviews on here. It did not taste fresh, like leftover hash browns. Service was good.

    The Clemente High Breakfast Sando.
    Collin B.

    Food was great. Lots of breakfast choices and some lunch options. I have been coming to this place off and on for the 10 years. I always stop by when I'm visiting and they have never disappointed. The service is fast and friendly. The ambiance is modern city meets 50s diner. Great coffee and desert options as well.

    Draft Chocolate City Iced Coffee
    Stephon H.

    I stumbled across this place on a whim. After being here a couple times I can definitely say I do not regret it. I have only eaten here at the bakery and not the diner. The pastries here go pretty quick so if you are a coffee and pastry person. I will suggest you get there early or call ahead and ask what they have left for the day if you go later. They have a lot of seasonal pastries so the rotation is really a surprise. The iced coffee is pretty solid, nothing too crazy. Danish I had was flavorful but a little dry. The cinnamon roll monkey bread pastry was very flavorful as well with a lot of textures from the ingredients. I would definitely recommend.

    Hullabaloo Skillet
    Marissa P.

    Came here for brunch with friends - group of 8 I ordered an iced coffee and was served the chocolate city iced coffee but it was a bit odd and didn't taste like normal drip and had a ton of froth like a beer lol. I ordered the hullabaloo skillet. Hands down the best skillet I've ever eaten and my favorite. If you love savory and mushrooms and onions this one is for you - at least it is for me lol. Will def be back for that! Side note, their hash browns look like pieces toast but are really good!! My order came out a few mins after everyone else's which I didn't care about but our waitress provided some free cake balls at the end which was so sweet. We weren't huge fans of the cake balls though but it was such a great gesture.

    The BEST hashbrowns!
    Sara W.

    The best hash browns in the world. Fresh bread! Dark Matter Coffee! Pastries! Everything you want for breakfast and more.

    Dirty Chai Latte
    Catherine N.

    Superb biscuit sandwich (the Eckhart Park) with great cookery on the sausage patty, eggs, and buttermilk biscuit. I really enjoyed my Dirty Chai Latte. Service was upbeat and very attentive (in a helpful way). They seem to have seasonal espresso-based drinks with fun syrups if you're into that thing (which I am). This place came enthusiastically recommended by a vegan friend, so I'll be back to try their vegan options and seasonal coffee options.

    Yogurt parfait
    Hannah K.

    We enjoyed visiting West Town Bakery! They have a sit down diner and a walk up coffee bar. The first day we visited the coffee bar and got some pastries and coffee to go. My group tried the dirty chai scone, blueberry lemon scone, almond raspberry croissant, and a plain croissant. We all thought they were delicious! My coffee was also made super quick and tasted great. We decided to go back a second day to take some cake balls home with us and ended up sitting at a table. The waiter was very friendly! I tried the yogurt parfait and really enjoyed it. I tried the classic sampler for the cake balls. My favorite was the vanilla sprinkle. They were a bit too moist for me and I'm not sure I would order them again. However my friends really enjoyed there's.

    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.

We both ordered the Filipino breakfast (though I wished I ordered something else) and a few drinks and had the saba tart and strawberry tart to go. If you're Filipino don't expect your typical longanisa and tocino because they did theirs differently as it is not mass produced and not processed meat which is what we get when we buy those items from the Filipino grocery store. I also love that they added fresh elements to the dish. I wish I ordered more pastries though because the tarts we got are sooo good! Once seated you'll realize that their dining section is small but they do have outdoor seating and some bar stools inside. My cousin who is a local told me they just order online and then pick up to bypass the line. This is a good idea if you're local but since we were visiting we opted to dine in. Their drinks are also good l had latte and calamansi lemonade which was very refreshing (it was hot outside) and my son's iced matcha latte is also good. Wish I got more pastries - their Saba tart is original and worth the $13 price tag.

The desserts were a one-two-three punch absolute home run. Ambiance/interior is understated elegance. Warm wood tones, lush greenery, dim lighting, neutral palette. Service is 10/10 comparable to a 3 star. Really loved the pacing. 13 courses in two hours, never rushed , not a long lull in between. Recommend the San Miguel pilsner especially with the finger foods. Crisp and refreshing palate cleanser and perfect match for the savory flavors. Eating with the hands was a very thoughtful way to invite guests to a staple, cultural tradition rooted in community and shared enjoyment. Sharing the experience with a group of four made it even better!

We got there 10 minutes before opening and were second in line. We even saw the first customer get a free drink, which was such a nice touch. The space feels really welcoming and homey, and I loved the aesthetic. There are only 3 tables though, so seating is limited. The Banana Bread (9.9/10) was ON CLOUD 9. So moist and chocolatey, with a light chocolate cream and roasted candied pecans that had the perfect crunch. Absolutely loved this one. The Raspberry Cinnamon Roll with Espresso Cream Cheese (9/10) had a nice laminated pastry and espresso cream wasn't overly sweet. Such a good combo. The Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Danish (9/10) tasted like a chocolate fudge danish topped with cookies and cream, which I loved. It had the firmest shell of the pastries we got and that extra crunch was perfect. The Hot Dog Pastry (8.5/10) was super flaky, and I loved the crunchy pieces on top. The Guava Custard Danish (8/10) had a great guava flavor and was solid. The Breakfast Pastry (8/10) had hashbrown, ham, and cheese inside a flaky crust.

I bought 3 and my friend got 2. Calamansi cream + pistachio paste danish was my favorite. The Calamansi cream was the perfect texture and density with a fragrant citrus note. When I took a sip of coffee afterwards it made my coffee taste like I was drinking fresh orange juice. The pistachio is more cake like inside than full paste and isn't too sweet. Flaky dough, soft pistachio center and creamy top with a sharp citrus cut. Peach + raspberry Melba danish. The peaches were soft. I'm not familiar with a Melba dessert but the center of this was almond paste which is not my favorite but if you like almond and tart danish it would hit the spot. Raspberry espresso cream cheese cinnamon roll was a fun fruity twist to a cinnamon roll. Couldn't really tell there was espresso though. Blueberry lime cheesecake danish. I also liked this one because of the lime. It really cuts through the heaviness. The fruits on top were also fresh. They also have one day old blind boxes. I grabbed a 6 piece day old box to go and it was actually 6 different pasteries, half sweet and half savory! It only repeated 1 of the pasteries I had originally tried so I'm excited to try more, especially the savory ones. It's an amazing deal if you just want to try a variety of flavors. Tried the Hot dog danish - really good! Upscale pigs in a blanket vibes. The tiny fried are seasoned perfectly and add a fun crunch. The splashes of Dijon cut through and it doesn't feel oily at all.

    Our experience with Bittersweet Bakery was exceptional from beginning to end. We ordered our…read morewedding cake from Bittersweet, and they made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. 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.

The quiche is always fantastic, and anything out of the pastry case is a must. Drinks are good as well! Such a cozy spot to grab coffee with a friend (or give in to the temptation of snagging a pastry on your way to the brown line)
