I love an old school Chicago Bakery. You know that feeling when you visit your favorite relative? That’s what it’s like at Impallaria Bakery. You will be greeted with a warm hello and smile when entering. Still family run, they have the best coffee cakes, danishes and donuts this side of the city. You know it’s good when kids stop by on the way to school to grab a donut in the morning. The butter cookies are literally 99%butter and 1% flour and eggs. Don’t hesitate to grab a half pound to eat in the car on the way home.I’ve have ordered danishes for teacher appreciation or staff meetings and they are always a hit. Flaky pastry with a light drizzle of icing and good balance of filling. The almond crescents are popular.Old fashioned hand dipped cake donuts are a treat! They also have deli sandwiches which I have yet to order.Did I mention they have cakes?? Where in the city can you find a fresh cake under $30?????If you’re in the area be sure to stop by!Closed mondays

Went in for cannoli’s and came out with this beaut. It’s a donut with perfect rum custard filling and chocolate. I don’t think I’ve had custard this delicious in years! Run! 🏃♀️
Jul 31 · Ivette SandovalVery friendly staff. Good variety. Almond crescent was chefs kiss. I’ll be back to try more!
Sep 5 · Ashley SwaderI've been coming to this bakery for years! My parents introduced it to me as a kid and used to go there when they were younger. It's the best place to get donuts and pastries. My favorites are the dozen mixed donuts and cannoli's. Their cheesecakes are amazing too! The owner is so sweet and very friendly. I always travel from Foster/Broadway to here for my sweet bread with my coffee. I highly recommend their donuts!!
Jan 4 · Amanda GarciaI picked up a strawberry mousse and the mousse was dried out. I was a bit disappointed but this was my first experience and will definitely give this place another try.
