Bittersweet Pastry Shop & Café, which opened in 1992, has built a reputation as being one of the top bakeries in Chicago for French pastries, specialty desserts, and custom cakes–and before the renaissance of high-end pastry shops became a “thing”. Bittersweet prepares its bread, breakfast pastries, pies, tarts, brownies, cakes, hand-decorated cookies, and other treats from scratch and with all-natural ingredients. Known for inventive wedding and celebration cakes, Bittersweet brings its day-to-day offerings to the suburbs via DwellSocial…so no special event is necessary to splurge. Enjoy brunch at home with a delicious quiche and cinnamon rolls, a pastry box to share, or go straight for dessert with macarons, a flourless chocolate mouse cake, or mixed desserts and tart selections.
