Scafuri Bakery

This place is pretty awesome. I've been wanting to go since I moved to the neighborhood, but never made it, due to my old schedule.

Great Chicago-Scafuri Bakery! Coffee is delicious and the pastries are a great value and deliciously light and tasty!
Overall, calm and relatively quiet interior, some people studying

A few months back, I remember getting a mocha, orange scone, and breakfast sandwich. I ate there so the mocha came in a really beautiful mug. The scone was perfect. The sandwich was excellent. Altogether a little expensive around $15 but I splurged. I'd never been before and heard of this location's legacy. It seems to be living up to it.

Some good friends brought home a carrot cake from SC -- best carrot cake I've ever had. Went by today to get a slice of that heaven, plus a slice of the chocolate layer cake -- heaven-squared! Best chocolate cake I've ever had.

This place is pretty awesome. I've been wanting to go since I moved to the neighborhood, but never made it, due to my old schedule. Then, when my mom came to visit, she was exploring Taylor Street and wandered in. She made friends with the people here, and was telling all about how great this place is. Finally, I went with my Italian friend who was visiting, and we really enjoyed this place. The baked goods are pretty traditional, and the taste and baking is stupendous. I've been back to visit, and still a great experience. The people here really are cool.
