Alpiste in Chicago

A little about La Luz Bakery from Yelp…

First thing you feel when going into this place is…overhwelmed! What should you choose? The selection is staggering. Sweet buns galore, turnovers, cakes, flan, cookies, croissant stuffed with cream, cheese pastries, things that look like aspics that are stuffed with some sort of flowers (I have no idea what they are but they’re sheer art!) They do fresh snow cones and cakes to order. Plus…and here it is…TRES LECHE cake…heavenly and soaked with sweet creamy milk. Unbelievably addictive.

It’s mostly self-serve, so you grab a pair of tongs and a platter and begin your adventure searching through case after case of these colorful treasures. And when you’re through you discover you’ve got enough bakery for days and it only cost you like five bucks.

I love this place and the staff who are super friendly. One of the women always has a smile and never hesitates to explain what’s in any of the cakes or pastries and she always teaches me Spanish when I’m there. Hit this place up–either for that single breakfast pastry before you hop on the Metra (It’s right behind the Round Lake stop in the downtown area). Or when you need a lot of bakery because you’re having guests to tea. Cheers!
