5 Stars: Just like my Swedish grandmother made! (by Karen F.)

When I visit Chicago, this place is a must. (And I also enjoy care packages from my sister!) They've been in business for 75 years, 25 in the same family. Their coffee cakes, cookies, pastries, and bread taste like they just came from my Swedish grandmother's oven.

4 Stars: Andersonville Charm (by Barry S.)

The bakery is my favorite place in Andersonville, full of breads, pastry, cakes, and cookies. I am not too crazy about their over priced but just ordinary cookies, but I like their breads and sweet pastry. They always have generous sample to try, so while you are there you can have a bite here and there. The staff are friendly and quick to do your request. I like the fact thatduring the day parking is available specifically for its customers.

The Swedish Bakery retains its high quality throughout the years. They offer a great selection of freshly baked cookies and pastries. Everyone can find something they like there. Sometimes the wait is long, but it's worth it to get exactly what you want. They counter staff is helpful and patient as you pick out your sweets. Everything is impeccibly made and displayed, and the store is very clean. They will wrap up your choices for you to take home, even if it's just a few cookies. I've bought cakes here for special occasions and was proud to serve them. It's in a fun part of Andersonville where you can walk around and visit shops and restaurants. Make a special trip to the Swedish Bakery for some wonderful pastries.

This is a really nice bakery. I got my engagement cake done from here and they did an excellent job. Not only did the cake look great -- it tasted great too! They have lots of baked goods -- from party cakes to small individual snacks. Definitely a Sweet Stop to make!!!
