Sylvia's Bakery

We have been going here for a few years to get our Paczki’s for Fat Tuesday. I always ordered the Oreo Cream filled ones. This year they changed it and made them chocolate filled with a little white frosting and some Oreo crumbs on them. They NO LONGER taste like Oreo and I am extremely disappointed that they would do this and not say anything when you call to place an order.

My original review for Paczki Day is below. This year, March 1, 2022, I still recommend Sylvia's Bakery. I moved and tried NW Indiana's Bakeries and they do not compare to Sylvia''s. Everyone in Chicago knows that February 25, 2020 is PACZKIS Day and you don't want to miss it! Sylvia's Bakery has really excellent Paczkis in my opinion and will be serving them every day 2/20/20 - 3/1/20 longer than other bakeries. They have many different varieties however I suggest you go early as they are popular so they do run out. They make fresh ones each day. I had the lemon filled with the lemon icing on top. See my photo. It was authentic and will be going back for a different kind before it's over.

My only complaint is that Sylvia's bakery isn't open 24/7. I went here for the first time after having it saved for a while, and oh my goodness it's amazing! The woman at the counter was so sweet and helpful, and I walked out with an absurd amount of sweets that were eaten way too quickly. This is the type of place you want to share with everyone you know, but also keep it a secret for yourself.

The staff is super nice and definitely makes an effort to make the bakery feel more like a community than just a shop. I can't believe I never stepped foot in here before! Many more visits to come!
