Notable Picks
8.4
A high-volume Pilsen panadería where the case runs deep with fresh pan dulce, and the move is building a mixed tray of conchas, empanadas, and cookies that still taste right hours later. It’s a grab-a-tray, grab-the-tongs kind of place—fast, efficient, and built for repeat visits and weekend rituals.
Must-Try Dishes:
Conchas (including vegan options), Rosca de Reyes (seasonal), Marranitos (molasses pig cookies)
What makes it special: Massive pan dulce variety with proven, repeatable freshness at scale.
8.2
A Bridgeport bake counter focused on laminated pastries and smart seasonal flavors, with a small lineup that rewards early arrivals. Keep your order tight: one croissant-style pastry, one fruit-forward danish, and a cookie so you can compare texture and technique.
Must-Try Dishes:
Seasonal laminated croissant (rotating), Fruit danish (seasonal), Black sesame chocolate chip cookie
What makes it special: Technique-forward laminated pastries with disciplined seasonal flavors.

Birthday & Celebration Central
A Pilsen staple best known for tres leches cakes that stay moist, balanced, and crowd-proof for celebrations. Treat it like a cake-and-coffee stop: pick one standout tres leches flavor, add a flan or chocoflan, and keep the rest of the order simple.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tres leches cake (classic or flavored), Chocoflan, Flan
What makes it special: Celebration-ready tres leches that holds up slice after slice.
8.0
A McKinley Park Portuguese bakery-café where the egg-custard tarts (pastéis de nata) are the clear headline—flaky, buttery, and best eaten warm with coffee. The case stays interesting with rotating tarts and savory bakes, but the smartest order starts with natas and builds from there.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pastel de nata, Passionfruit tart, Savory hand pie (rotating)
What makes it special: Portuguese tarts done with real custard-and-flake precision.
Worthy Picks
A bright, laptop-friendly bakery-café where the strongest orders are the croissant-and-coffee staples rather than trying to sample everything. Come for a single laminated pastry, pair it with a hot chocolate or espresso drink, and treat the patio as part of the value.
Must-Try Dishes:
Ube croissant, Carnitas quiche, Signature hot chocolate
What makes it special: Cafe-style pastry stop with a strong work-session space and patio.
7.6
A traditional Pilsen panadería where the case leans classic—sweet breads, cakes, and seasonal specials—built for quick, inexpensive bakery runs. It’s at its best when you shop with intent: pick one signature bread, add one cake slice, and skip the random extras.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pan grande (Acámbaro-style raisin bread), Guava empanada, Tres leches cake
What makes it special: Classic Mexican sweet breads with a focused, old-school panadería feel.
