    Bake gets the Blueberry Muffin right: a springy, not-so-sweet interior packed with tart, bursting blueberries, capped with a crumbly oat top.

    Perhaps the best scones in Chicago! The chocolate chip is my favorite, but I've had them all and they're all amazing.

    Try the ham and cheese croissants. Warm em up and it'll be the best thing you've eaten. Also, Sarah gives fantastic service!

    Very possibly the best cinnamon roll I've ever had; and same with choc cake. There is some TLC going into this place.
