The Swedish Bakery is another awesome bakery in Chicago. They specialize mostly in breads and cakes and everything here is so amazingly good. My favorite item here is the cake that is soaked overnight in milk. Though it sounds heavy, it is such a light cake. But make sure to get here as early as you can. They usually sell out pretty quick and if you go in towards closing time, they don't have as great of a selection of cakes left. But you can also always preorder so that you are sure to get what you want.
