For all those in Chicago longing for a taste of the most delicious Georgian baked goods in the Midwest, Argo is the place to go. Look for whatever's just out of the oven, because it is all wonderful and best enjoyed hot. If you have to wait five minutes for a fresh round of khachapuri (Georgian bread filled with cheese), do it! It's very worth your time. I also recommend the apple turnovers. If you speak Russian, have a chat with any of the random babushki waiting in line there. Definitely take some khachapuri home to your family and loved ones, or else they will frown with disappointment when you tell them how delicious your experience was and realize you didn't bring anything back to share.

Argo bakery is a truly authentic Georgian bakery complete with a large bee-hive like oven right in the middle of the space. The staff is particularly friendly to the uninitiated to the central Caucasus food from Georgia. A delightful dish including mozarella, feta, and egg cooked in a flaky doughy bowl is perfect for a heavy breakfast or brunch. The value is excellent with nothing more than 6 dollars and most items running for less than 2 dollars each.
