Bridgeport Bakery

Great bakery goods!

Maple bacon donut.
I go through Costco sized packs of bacon in a month by myself. Which is basically a pack of bacon each week. I would say I have a problem but bacons pretty much my main source of protein so I’m OK with that.
I came here on Friday afternoon and they were about to close in an hour or so. They still had a pretty good selection of donuts /​baked goods left including the bacon donut I should have gotten two, or three, or all of them instead of just one. We also got the chocolate french crueller, chocolate covered custard, chocolate covered cinnamon roll and 4 danishes.
Since I couldn’t help myself I ate the donuts in the car, my favorite was the maple bacon. They have a very generous amount of bacon on top and the topping is syrupy sweet. The french crueller was SOO MOOIST omg. Last time I had a sad french crueller from DD.
We also got half a pound of Christmas cookies, which were light, buttery, and fantastic. They had so many different ones to choose from that I had a reallly difficult time choosing.
Don’t be sketched out by the store front! The baked goods inside are super fresh, affordable and the people working here are accomodating and very friendly as well.

About once a month, I would bring snacks to work and Bridgeport Bakery has been my go-​to spot. It’s about $ 10 for a dozen doughnuts and/​or paczkis. Not a bad deal especially since these goodies aren’t small.
Paczkis are not an easy find in Chicago and I was particularly pleased with finding one near me. If you want to buy them in a bulk, be sure to call in advance and place an order for pick up. Otherwise, they seem to sell out pretty quickly and they do not make new batches as the day progresses. So far, I have tried the strawberry, raspberry, and chocolate with custard. The chocolate glazed paczki with custard filling has been the favorite among my friends.

8÷29− We could totally smell the fresh baked goods coming back late (early?) at night around 3am… Normally I’d be knocked out cold once I start sleeping after a good night on the town, but the thought of having a hot cinnaroll in my greedy little hands just totally nixed any chance of me going back to sleep. Call me crazy, but it’s hard to beat warm cinnamon anything on cold, rainy morning at 7am. That’s real motivation for me.
The ladies working there are brisk and polite… in no time I was headed back out the door with an apple cinnamon roll and a bacon bun in tow. The roll was as fluffy and sweet as anything I could have ever wanted a cinnamon roll to be and the bacon bun was just the right amount of salty to balance out all that sugar. I was a little sad the bacon itself wasn’t crispy, but I figure it’d be pretty dang hard to manage that *and* properly finish baking the bun around it to completion. Besides, with those prices, I have no complaints! Definitely will pick up goodies here in the future!

Loved it.
Chicolate chip and Rainbow sprinkled Cookies were out if the box.
Bacon maple donut was interesting. It Had a mixed sweet and salty tasting topping on a fresh donut. It took me a while to understand what was going on in my mouth lol
Brownie was decent.
I ate like entire bakery shop in 4 bucks: p
I would go there again anytime.

Great baked goods at rock bottom prices. Came to pick up an assortment of donuts for breakfast and was not disappointed. No place to linger indoors — more a place to pick up and go!

Ron is amazing and made my wedding cake and it was absolutely beautiful AND delicious!

Love this bakery. There is a huge selection of cookies, doughnuts and pastries and they are so soft with just the right amount of sweetness. One of the best bakeries around. The prices are very reasonable too. A dozen cookies was only $ 2! My favorite are the cherry drop cookies and the orange crème ones. Yum!

Dope lil bakery with sum slayer meringue horns. Also got sum old looking sludge sitting on the window sill (really adds to the texture of the joint).
Take your xtreats outside, sit on the curb and stuff them in your face.

My favorite are their cream puffs/​horns! Their raspberry sandwich cookies are out of this world too!

½ dozen for under $ 5, you can’t go wrong! Donuts were not the crazy gourmet kind like you’d get at Glazed or Stan’s, but that’s not what you go here for. You go here for an old-​school bakery experience and good, solid, chocolate glazed cake donuts! Reminded me of my bakery back home.

Yesterday being paczki day. I took wife and kids to bridgeport bakery to see if they had any left. We figured they might not because it was late in the day and it would be reasonable to run out. ISo we bought a coffee cake and placed an order to pick some up the next day. While we were in there, there was this lady complaining that the bacon donuts she ordered at noon the previous day weren’t available. The ladies behind the counter didn’t give a shit though so she left empty handed.
This afternoon I stopped by to pick up my order at the agreed upon time and… they didn’t have it. So I left empty handed too. The coffee cake we got the previous day was not as good as one you’d get at jewel. Your better off going 5 miles up archer to Weber’s bakery.

Ordered a couple dozen paczki for Fat Tuesday. They were amazing. Each different flavor of filling was on point and the pastries were perfect.
When I went in to place my order everyone behind the counter was friendly and super helpful with answering my questions. I also picked up a couple cinnamon rolls and bacon buns. These were also fantastic. The cinnamon rolls were simultaneously moist and flaky in exactly the right way. The bacon buns — when taken home and microwaved for 15 seconds — were soooooooo good! Would obviously recommend this lovely bakery — it’s worth the trip!

My friend gave me a bun one today and simply told me «microwave it» for 15 seconds. I took it out after 15 seconds and it was nice and warm. Little did I know… biting into it would change my whole view of buns. It was stuffed with bacon. If you know me, you know my love for bacon. It’s like breakfast in a bun! Only thing missing was a side of scrambled eggs! I’m going to make it a tradition of going every two weeks after payday lol. If you haven’t tried them. I highly recommend them! Also bought a glazed donut. Definitely give Krispy Kreme and DD a run for their money. Give this location your business. It’s a Bridgeport staple!

It’s like DONUT Heaven. You must come early to receive certain specialty donuts. But even the non-​specialty treats are delish! This bakery has been on my to do list for some time now, so I was happy to finally make it in. It’s a small family owned bakery shop that provides a lot of Bridgeport diners and businesses with sweet pastry treats. I got 5 donuts and one banana muffin for $ 5! Score double time seeing that most of the donuts are oversized. And lawdy knows I love oversized food lol. I’m such a foodie. Lol
They have everything from specialty cakes, home baked pies, and even my ever so fave cannolis!!! Yum yum yum. It’s definitely my new favorite treats spot.
Double Thumbs up!

My torrid love affair with doughnuts and beer has forced me to have a bitter, married life with running.
This place makes me have to run more, and for that, I love this place dearly, and hate it with a burning passion. Scorn ye, wonderful, cheap, hot and fresh doughnuts.

I normally don’t have a sweet tooth. I’d much rather have another savory course over a dessert any day (I know, there’s something wrong with me, lol). BUT, when I found out that Bridgeport Bakery sells maple bacon donuts, I had to go against my morals and values and give it a shot! BOY am I glad I did!
The bakery itself is small, but the pastries and confections they’re baking in that kitchen have some huge flavors! They offer so many sweets from cookies to donuts to buns and even sell paczkis, which are deep fried Polish pastries filled with a sweet filling. How can you go wrong with something that’s deep fried and filled?! I went with the maple bacon donut and it was glorious. At first, when you look at it, it might seem like an ordinary donut with bits of bacon on it, but it’s soooo much more! The salty bits of bacon covering the donut paired beautifully with the sweet maple glaze without being overpowering. I could’ve easily thrown back 5 of these bad boys. And the best part? It’s less than a $ 1 — sucha bargain!
Just a word of warning — make sure you get here early because they sell out fast! Happy eating!

Holy cow. CHEAP!
Got 4 donuts and a cup of coffee for $ 5. It was a $ 5 minimum place after all.
But I gotta say, the bacon bun wasn’t allllll THAT great. It was fine, well it was good. Had they put more bacon in it, it would’ve been PERFECT. Didn’t taste as fresh either despite being 9:30am. But I’ll give it a pass. Maybe I’ll try it again once I’m back in the area.
It’s a small grab and go place. A bit shabby/​shaggy/​sketchy looking place but it’s fine! The snob whitewashed side of me was worried. But the Korean side told me that I just drove from Midway Airport and if I can drive through Cicero in one piece, this is no place to worry.

This has been «my» bakery for fifteen years now. They got me with their bacon buns. I’ve had them from a few spots around the city, and no one makes them like Bridgeport.
But Paczki Day is another aspect of what we enjoy. The paczki are the best here in all of the city, and I’ve had them from everywhere. No one makes them as good as here. The dough is the key. It’s yeasty, and light, not dense and oil soaked. And the fillings are just right. Not scant, not overfilled. Our favorites are the strawberry powder suger, and the cheese. Gotta have the cheese!

We heard about this amazing bakery in Bridgeport from others but we didn’t know the name. So we drove here and used Unilocal to find it.
The location is really cute and the smell is amazing when you walk in. It just smells like fresh sweets. Everything looks so yummy. I tried the chocolate donut and it was really good. The lady behind the counter was so sweet. She found out that it was our first time here and she went out of her way to make sure we knew everything about this place.
We learned that the chocolate donuts and the bacon rolls were the number one sellers. There was also a large selection of Christmas cookies too. The sweet lady behind the counter gave me two cookies on the way out and told me «Merry Christmas!». That was so nice of her. I brought them home and my wife informed me that they were the best cookies she ever had. She also told me that is all she wants for Christmas. So my shopping is done.
There were also only 6 Bacon Rolls left in the glass case at 11am and we were informed that all of them are usually gone by now. I was so torn… do I get one or not??? We had just had breakfast and I was not even hungry. I decided to not go for it and instead take my chances and come back again. I am sure that this was a major mistake on my part but I will worry about it then!!!
This location is one of those incredible bakeries that just knows how to bake and deliver the goods. We are fortunate to have a local bakery like this and I hope it is around for more years to come!!!
