Forest View Bakery - Chicago

Their cookies are sooo good! Their prices are reasonable, even lower than Walmart.

The rye bread is very good and I really like their pops seed cake. Lots of poppy seeds and very tasty!

I discovered this restaurant online on my way home. I decided to stop by around 3 o'clock in the afternoon and found that they had a limited selection left. It seems like going there early is necessary to have the best choices. I was informed that one turnover I was interested in was cherry, while another was apple. I ended up ordering the cherry turnover, but when I got home, I realized it was actually apple. Despite the mix-up, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious and fresh it was. I still have a craving for a cherry turnover though. The woman working at the counter was fantastic and very friendly.

Even though its a smaller and lesser known bakery, they probably have the best pączki in the entirety of Chicagoland area, and that is saying a lot. Amazing customer service, always available for pre-orders as well. It helps that they are family as well! Highly recommend their bread and pączki.

This is a fantastic old-fashioned bakery with affordable prices and delicious pastries!
