mary01+FollowIllinois bakeries locals keep secretSome of Illinois’ best bakeries are so beloved, locals barely whisper their names outside the neighborhood. These spots aren’t about flashy trends—they’re about tradition, community, and flavors that feel like home. From Chicago’s old-school butter cookies at Weber’s to Springfield’s creative cupcakes at Incredibly Delicious, each bakery brings its own magic. You’ll find lines out the door for Chatham’s Wildflower pies and Rochester’s scratch-made scones. It’s not just about the pastries—it’s the memories, the family stories, and the sense of belonging. Which hidden bakery gem do you think deserves more love, or is there one you’d rather keep all to yourself? #Food #IllinoisEats #LocalBakery10Share
