I went there for breakfast today and was very impressed with their mimosa's. They also had wonderful eggs, however i was sadly unimpressed with there pancakes :( Not fluffy like pancakes are suposed to be. What a bummer
They label what is Vegan and have alot of variety. The cake balls are to die for!
The staff extremely rude! The waitress with the blue hair doesn't want to acknowledge you. Bad customer service.
Very fast service and good food. A little pricy though.
We expected a bit more pastry options. Cake pops that we got were tasty. Even though they don't do (or didn't do at that time) indoor seating it was still so loud inside, we had to literally yell to place an order. Staff was very friendly and took care of us well.
The food is unique and tasty! Service here is outstanding and entertaining. I love that you can see the chefs hard at work baking and making. Wonderful place. : ]
The sheer amount of pastries alone warrants a visit, but it's the quality that stands out. Some other good coffee shops without their own bakery also get their pastries from here.
It is a cute bakery that serves breakfast! Service is great and waitress was really polite and friendly! I got the sausage and gravy and loved it! It comes with hash browns and two eggs any style! It is a must try :)
Been here a few times and every time, the service is excellent. But, most importantly, the food is AWESOME!
Great neighborhood breakfast/brunch spot. Even better cake pops! All of their baked goodies are awesome. Surprisingly short wait time for weekend brunch.
Candied Bacon Whiskey Maple Donut Holes... for real... representing at Baconfest 2013
The only thing I've had from this place is the french toast cake balls, but they're unbelievably good. This place is absolutely worth checking out if you're nearby.
I first visited when staying at the hotel, now I come back to visit everytime I'm in the city lol
Quaint spot. Rarely do I go for a diner to breakfast and I don't finish my entire plate but I ate less than half the food served to me. Not because it was large portions but the food was just ok. I ordered the Chicago stockyard omlette, while I love pork belly, having chunks of belly fat mixed into an omlette is a bad combo. The wife had the chilaquiles, that is her go to brunch everywhere, she says better than average. But she tries to be too nice, the chips were all soggy and none were crunchy. I doubt if I would come back here again. Too many other diners in Chicago to come to an average place.
Cool environment that made my visit fun! Parking was a pickle, but it is on the city so that is the case. Since I hate fighting to park more than I enjoy a cool environment I probably will not frequent here. But it was fun to experience!
CAKE BALLS! Aw yeah, they have some AH-MAZE-ING balls here. My favorite flavor is french toast, but you can't go wrong with any of the cake balls. They are sure a crowd pleaser for parties. I enjoy their sweet potato cinnamon roll and s'mores brownie also! All good stuff and pretty reasonable.
Tip: They always have specials and on Fridays, Cake Balls are buy 1 dozen, get the other dozen free! Check their site for more daily specials.
Love everything in there, sticky buns are my favorite and scones too. Patrick is really an awesome manager.
Great vibes, friendly staff, and great food - what more could you want! Plenty of vegan options, so everyone in your group is full and happy!
Wow!! Love this bakery, and they have the best/cutest cakes! I've ordered a cake from them before that was both lovely & tasty. I've loved this season's "smash cakes!!" Didn't have the real reason to buy a smash cake, but just had to this time. They got my vote #joe2020
I love going here with my family. Cupcakes are sssssoooo good
Seasoned potatoes make this corned beef hash delicious (took me by surprise) and the cafe au lait was excellent as well
The cake balls are just simply delicious. Never had any of the cafe food, so can't vouch for that. Atmosphere is cool. The employees I've encountered aren't very friendly, but aren't horrible either.
Highly disappointed with our wedding cake. It was not white and the vanilla interior looked burnt / dark. The flavor was off, didn't quiet taste like vanilla either. I was very detailed in the design I requested as well. The polka dots did not match the sample provided. When I reached out, we did not receive an appropriate response. I asked to speak to management and haven't heard anything back in over a week. As a small business owner, I couldn't imagine not responding to an upset customer.
Amazing food, service & selection. Everything is made from scratch.
Decent food. Nothing special. But it gets -1 star for calling their breakfast potatoes hash browns. They are not hash browns. They're home fries. Hash browns are little slivers of potatoes cooked to crispy perfection. Stop the false advertising, West Town Bakery.
Tasty breakfast, tea, and coffee. Some new style food with the classic diner style.
Even better that they use veggies from their upstairs farm-to-table
Got the carrot cake for a birthday celebration, they wrote on it and that cake was the best carrot cake I have had in a long time!
So much yummy! I wish there were more green options. That's all
Great service. Super nice staff. Chill vibes with outdoor seating for bakery or service customers if not busy. Pastries are excellent.
A unique neighborhood breakfast place to take out of town guests. You must get a pastry item with your meal or to take for a snack later. They also have some of the highest quality and best priced cakes for your special event.
Awesome diner and terrific coffee! And it's fun to watch them make cakes and look at record posters.
Worst customer service ever.. called for directions to place because from out of town and the girl on the phone had the worst attitude ever. My GPS was not working bc of festival they had outside and I asked her nicely if she could explain where she was at and told me are you aware there is a festival outside and just told me the address.. I new the address . Thought it was funny also when I told her I was driving in circles.. needless to say I told her I would order cake from someone that wanted my business.
Super tasty breakfast. Huge portions. Like the open kitchen layout. Clean diner with a hipster feel.
West Town made our wedding cake and they executed on all levels! At the tasting they took very detailed notes about what we were looking for and the overall look of the cake. They explained the whole process, and took care of delivering the cake as well. There were no hiccups, question marks, or any problems at all and it was amazing to see our beautiful cake on our wedding day. It was a 3 tier geode cake and it looked and tasted amazing! We got tons of compliments from our guests on the moistness of the cake. The frosting and fruits were not overly sweet and we are super happy that we chose to go with West Town!
I can always count on West Town Bakery for my gluten free needs
I drive 40 miles for the cake balls. They're the best
Build your own avocado toast... Only you can mess it up!! Dark matter Coffee and bakery is great too
Awesome place to eat and loved the vegan options. Service was friendly and helpful.
This is our breakfast spot whenever family comes to town. Great food. They also serve Dark Matter Coffee (a blend specific to West Town) which I would drink every day if I could afford to. They'll give you one to go if you ask nicely.
Food quality was average at best and pricey. Service was not much, if at all, better. I won't be going back. Popular cool spot, with diverse menu but not anywhere worth the hype.
I looked up the menu on google and I saw a BLT. I called in so I could grab the food on my break. As I'm trying to order I'm told they dont sell a BLT, but they have a turkey club(difference is turkey and cheese.) So I order that and ask them to hold the turkey and the cheese. They say ok it will be 10 minutes. I get there and its not til I've been there about 5 or 6 minutes that I'm told the sandwich was made wrong they are making another. I'm annoyed, but I'm there already so I wait. I get the new sandwich about 10 minutes after that and it was cheese on it but I dont have time to wait for it to be made a 3rd time. I get back to work to eat it and the potatoes are cold and have little pieces of turkey in them from the first sandwich they made and there is so much mayo. I had high hopes for the food because their pastries are amazing.
A fairly good diner / dessert bakery. They have a lot of sweet options (the french toast cinnamon cake is very good) and a decent breakfast and lunch menu. Busy on the weekends and there will likely be a wait.
West Town & Diner is the best place in West Town! Very friendly staff! Great variety of vegan bake goods. Josh is amazing he is super friendly and very helpful with explaining vegan and nonvegan bake goods. I am not vegan but my co-worker is and this place is my go to from now on. Cake balls are amazing!!!
Really amazing service and food. Perfect to sit down and order a full meal or grab a quick bite to go.
I ordered through UberEats. The Winchester breakfast sandwich and that thing was massive, definitely not overpriced at 11$. The chicken sausage had a bit too much parsley for me(pretty sure it was). The sandwich was delicious but very very rich. I would have liked more peppers or some other type of vinegar or spice to cut down on it. The coffee was alright, some sediment at the bottom of my cup. Haven't gotten the chance to try the other items yet but they look delicious. The goat cheese pastry looks different on UberEats vs in person.
Just came here to buy a loaf of the Multi-grain bread to enjoy at home with our homemade cappuccini after seeing the bread at Dusek's in Pilsen.....what a great, tastey loaf!
Best cake. The maple, almond, blueberry is the tops.
Our first time visiting this spot and it was so good. The vibe you get walking into this joint is like a throwback to when dinners where awesome! The service and the food was absolutely delicious.
Do yourself a favor and order the Nutella croissant. You will not be disappointed!
The food was good. As any diner in chicago. The ambience and the vibe was great. We actually got the perfect view to watch a Baker create a cake, it was pleasant. The service was great in the beginning, once it got a little busier we felt rushed by the waiter.
Stopped in for the first time to grab a cup of coffee to kill some time before a meeting. Seems like a great place! I didn't try to food, but the display near the coffee counter was very tempting. I'll definitely stop by again!
So many delectable treats here. And, a bomb double decker turkey club !
Great food at both the bakery and the diner. West Town Bakery has also been doing a lot to support workers in the restaurant industry during the COVID pandemic!
The atmosphere, service and food here are all wonderful! I have been trying to go here for ages and when I finally made the trip, I was NOT disappointed!
The cake balls are on point and the main dishes are tasty. I reccomend
After a few run ins with your Sprinkled Vegan Whoopie pie from Jackelope Coffee located in my old neighborhood Bridgeport, I had to ask. Members there informed me of where to go. Luckily I'm a 15 min bike ride away.
Keep up the positive work. I dig the storefront
A Chicago must.
Good coffee and pastries. Might make you feel like you don't fit in cuz your not hipster enough but whatever.
One of the best bakery/diners in town. Family friendly. Great patio in the summer. Interesting ingredient modifications on classic American diner dishes.
Huge, tasty treats, different levels and balcony sitting. Lovely place
Delicious food and out-of-this-world looking desserts. The cake balls are something you just have to try. They look small but pack a huge taste and are deceptively filling and satisfying.
new to the area but at the time i was there it wasn't busy or crowded and for once nobody bugged me about a menu or try to rush me chill vibe
Fantastic bakery/restaurant. Great choices abound for both breakfast and bakery items. Definitely try the scones if you're here. Outrageously good.
Best breakfast I ve had in this neighborhood, great quality food and really nice servers! We had Bill, he was great and offered us a coffee to go
The food was delicious and prepared exactly the way that it needed to be it was a large portion and everything was extremely fresh .The atmosphere was great
My absolute favorite breakfast spot to bring guests from out of town. It's also a wonderful selection for vegetarian and vegans.
Pastries are amazing, coffee is always great, and their breakfast selection are good...
Unfriendly staff. Says nothing to me as I m standing at the register for 5 mins while they make a coffee for the only other person in there. The chubby person with the pony tail needs to learn customer service better or maybe get a job where they don t have to help people. I work across the street and like supporting independent businesses, but people with that attitude will make me stop at Starbucks instead.
A diner with baked goods. The food is pretty good high-end diner food with mid-range pricing. The decor is 50s nostalgic, but (fortunately) does not try too hard. Friendly servers, although you do have to get their atrention. (Not a bad thing that they don't hover, and I haven't once felt they mind to he called over.) The baked goods are good, although some items tend to be too sugary for my taste.
Great breakfast brunch spot. Excellent bakery. Excellent coffee. Breakfast nachos are legit.
It's a really nice place! A good selection of different hot chocolates and wonderful coffee. The real gem of this place are their cakes and pastries! Don't be afraid to try the restaurant part.
Wow such great service, food, and atmosphere! Will visit again whenever I'm in the area.
Best hot chocolate I've hard since Paris, and delicious pastries.
Eggs were inedibly undercooked on 4 of 6 meals. Toast was not toasted. When they served a person with a gluten allergy an omelette with toast, rather than making a new omelette, they just removed the toast and left all the crumbs. They did comp one person's food, which accounts for the one star. The other star was for good coffee and tea. Bakery fine, diner bad.
