Bridgeport Bakery, Chicago, Illinois Restaurant Details

Food:

My favorite place to go for Paczki Day.

I order my paczki ahead of time and pick them up at midnight for Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras. I love that they are small because they're only $1 and you can try a bunch of flavors. Poppy seed is my personal favorite but I also love the raspberry and custard.

The staff is friendly and it is a real neighborhood gem. My family went here for years and now I carry on the tradition.

Food:

Soooooooo gooooooood. This IS MY CHURCH.

Food:

always quality bakery, be it chocolate donuts, bacon buns, or coffee cakes. if you order ahead you can request ingredient combos for coffee cakes ie cherry/pecan or chocolate chip nut. salt sticks like my mom would eat. you can be creative with the bacon buns too, add a hard boiled egg and horseradish, or sliced turkey for a club,bun. now that's good eating!

Food:

Ladies are so nice, they even had someone who spoke Spanish! Awesome because my dad was with me so he was able to make his own orders without my help. I love it when he can do that. So service is good. The pastries as delicious but a bit pricey. I went to get my paczki days ahead just to try them. They'll let you do that to avoid the long line on the day of. I order one day and they were available the very next day. They are smaller than what I've seen but the 16 kinds to choose from are just great! Loved the peach paczki! If you buy then ahead of time the also price drops considerably! Worth trying out. Don't be fooled by the outside facade.

Food:

I don't normally have a sweet tooth. I'd rather have another savory dish over a dessert any day (I know, I know, there's something wrong with me). BUT, when I found out that Bridgeport Bakery sells maple bacon donuts, I had to go against my morals and values and give it a shot! BOY am I glad I did!

The bakery itself is small, but the pastries and confections they're baking in that kitchen have some huge flavors! They offer so many sweets from cookies to donuts to buns and even sell paczkis, which are deep fried Polish pastries filled with a sweet filling. How can you go wrong with something that's deep fried and filled?! I went with the maple bacon donut and it was glorious. At first, when you look at it, it might seem like an ordinary donut with bits of bacon on it, but it's soooo much more! The salty bits of bacon covering the donut paired beautifully with the sweet maple glaze without being overpowering. I could've easily thrown back 5 of these bad boys. And the best part? It's less than a $1 - sucha bargain!

Just a word of warning - make sure you get here early because they sell out fast! Happy eating!
