Racine Bakery - Chicago

What a neat place to find. The bakery part had very attractive coffee cakes in 8 or 10 different flavors. The prices of these sizeable coffee cakes were incredible ... $5! I bought one with cheese, but gave it away to a family member without getting totry it, so I was very disappointed. It looked great The other side is a delicatessen. Very simple, but also with verydecent prices and nicely prepared... I ordered a ham and swiss on Polish rye bread. It was prepared with great care ... twothick layers of ham, cheese in between, lettuce and tomato and a pickle. Very nice. In sum, this is one of those littleneighborhood treasures. Definitely will be back to try the coffee cake!

I've been going to this bakery for over 15years used to love it every birthday I would order the atomic cake yellow and chocolate cake with banana and strawberry filling it never disappointed me till this week I ordered my usual not only that thewriting on a cake looked like a child wrote it the cake had bearly any filling only yellow cake no chocolate the strawberries ontop slid down it was a complete disaster I took the boxed cake over to the big party that we had planned and when I saw the cakeand that all the quests dint even finish a little thin slice honestly I'm done going to this bakery sad but that was a majordisappointment

Can you go wrong with bacon buns? I don't think so! They have always been top notch. The kolacky, the paczki, and rye bread are also great.

Treat yourself and take a ride to the Racine Bakery. They have a steam table with potato pancakes, roasted chicken, sausage, all kinds of things ! Then you have the different breads and cakes, cookies, European candy and chocolates. If you go in there,you'll go home happy.

A late Saturday morning visit to Racine Bakery was a delight to my visual and sensory systems. Well stocked with goodies in the bakery and deli areas. I found my ethnic roots screaming in front of my eyes and my stomach! I left with my purchases wellwrapped with the promise of deliciousness when I returned home. That promise was fulfilled with the best melt-in-the-mouthKolacky I've had in a long time. The liver sausage on fresh Lithuanian Rye was out of this world. I look forward to dinnerlater with their sauerkraut soup and kugelis! Racine Bakery has a good sized, ample parking lot on the side that is shared onone end with another business. Prices are very reasonable. A heads-up: to get assistance in the deli, the quick moving linestarts along the cheese case. No numbers to take here!
