This Illinois Donut Shop Tucked In An Alley Makes Vegan Donuts So Good People Order Ahead And Detour For A Dozen

Twenty-four hours. That’s how long the brioche dough takes before it becomes a doughnut at one tiny Illinois window, and the whole thing is vegan. No eggs, no butter, no milk. Yet the lineup reads like a classic bakery case, with Boston cream, apple fritters, and a flaky vanilla bean cronut.

Chicago Bakeries Knew Apple Pie Needed More Corners

Chicago-style bakery apple slices take everything comforting about apple pie and reshape it into generous squares made for sharing. Instead of a traditional round pie with only a few coveted edge pieces, this Midwestern favorite spreads tender apple filling between broad pastry layers and finishes the top with a sweet glaze. The result delivers soft cinnamon-spiced fruit, flaky crust, and sugary icing in nearly every bite. It feels nostalgic even if you did not grow up visiting a Chicago neighborhood bakery because the combination resembles the sort of dessert that might have appeared at a family gathering decades ago. The rectangular format also makes the treat practical: it can be cut into tidy portions, packed for an event, or served straight from the pan without worrying about perfect pie wedges. Familiar apple flavor remains at the center, but the bakery-style presentation gives it a personality all its own.

Two Illinois pizzerias earned spots on The Infatuation’s recent analysis of the best pizza places in America. Both are in Chicago and serve distinctly different styles. FULL STORY: These 2 Illinois pizza shops serve some of the best pies in America, report says Here are key takeaways: The Sept. 22 report from The Infatuation, “ The Best Pizza Places in America ,” named Pizz’Amici and Milly’s Pizza In The Pan among the nation’s best.

Milly’s Pizza In The Pan stood out for its pan-style Chicago deep-dish, with “zesty” tomato sauce and caramelized cheese on the crust. A cheese pizza starts at $20 for a 10-inch and $24 for a 14-inch. Pizz’Amici is at 1215 W. Grand Ave. in Chicago. Milly’s has two locations: 925 N. Ashland Ave. and 3409 N. Broadway in Chicago.
