Cakes, cookies, and doughnuts!!! What more do you want! Get the custard doughnut! Any of them are to die for! Also, get a banana bite. So yum! You know when you’re standing in line for a food place, going to be really good.

Really nice bakery. Delicious cake. You can order ahead for pick up. Friendly staff.

My daughter loved her cake it was good i can honestly say it was a improvement from the service all the way down to the cake

Roesers bakery is near my home and since we wanted to buy a Rosca de Reyes, (3 kings bread) we decided to stop by, I was not sure if they will have it or not but on the window they had 3 boxes showing the different sizes they had. There was a long line to get to the front, it took some time to get the service, most people were picking up cakes, some making orders. And some just picking up bread or donuts. After waiting that long, they told us they had run out of that bread. They could have saved us the time by either removing the boxes in the window or putting up a small sign that they were out of that bread. I know they were busy like always but that could have saved me some time this visit.

The worst Kings Rosca. We paid 20.00 dollarsfor the small one. It did not have any flavor and was hard. It tasted stale and not well made. I will never go back anymore.

I’ve been in the neighborhood for 19 years and always pass this bakery it is always crowded with the line my husband wanted a pecan pie and I wanted a strawberry shortcake for Christmas oh my God it was fantastic it made the dessert list in my family

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME HERE. Horrible experience. I placed my order 5 days in advance. I went through what all I wanted one thing at a time with a worker by the name of Ellie. She wrote down each request I had on the order form. I asked for a round cake with a pink and blue border at the top and an image that I sent in. Upon pick up, they showed the cake to me. The first thing I noticed was that the cake only had a pink border, instead of the pink and blue that I asked for. And it was very thin, unlike a cake border you usually see. I informed the worker and asked that they add the blue border and match it to the shade of blue in the edible image. She returns a few minutes later to reveal a rushed, sloppy border that WAS NOT the same color as the image. This was a birthday cake for my niece, so I paid remaining balance and took the cake. Once I got home I had a closer look- the edible image was too small and not centered, plus there was a foreign object in the icing above the image, and a sticky substance on the cake board. The final blow was that the cake itself was stale and dry, AND the strawberry filling tasted like it was past expiration. Very low quality. Almost 100 dollars wasted. Again.. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

I’ve lived in Asia, EU and the USA. Definitely will be in my top 3 list. It’s a no brainer why they’ve in business for 100 years - exceptional taste, top notch customer service and no too pricy. Absolutely loved it.

The Roeser’s Bakery is a time capsule that’s continued to bring joy to the neighborhood in its continued run since its inception in 1911. A true Chicago staple. Anyone that’s ever come in touch with this place has fallen in love with its timeless charm.When you walk in, you’ll be greeted like you’re family and the staff make sure that you find something scrumptious to take away with you at the end of your visit.Roeser’s makes custom cakes and larger orders and they have fresh bread and pastries on the daily. They offer a Cornucopia of coffee cake varietals; baby shower shaped cakes (like rattles, baby feet and umbrellas); miscellaneous shaped cakes ( guitars, castles, animal faces etc); various delicious breads and homemade ice cream variations and round and sheet cakes.I’ll have to stop by and take proper interior photos and video soon. Meanwhile, do yourself a favor and stop by and experience this sweet spot for yourself.

Very cool place! Oldest bakery in Chicago.
