Angel Food Bakery is a slice of heaven on Montrose Avenue located on the corner of Montrose and Paulina. Everything about this place reminds me of growing up in an “easy bake era”, from the light green color scheme, walls lined with Easy Bake Ovens, and Mr. Potato Head toys for the kids. This place is a neighborhood staple to the Ravenswood area; as you walk up you are greeted with “YUM” etched in the concrete at the front door. And “yum” is the experience I had. I purchased the brisket sangwich for $9.50 that came with a carrot daikon slaw w/an Asian dressing and Matt Bonaccorso had the club sandwich.
Not your average coffee shop food, their Chef Oliver De Los Santos personally made me a bowl of his first-rate posole. The autumn menu also has Mac and Cheese, Chicken pot pie and Mediterranean Tuna. So there’s something on the food menu to please all palates. Since opening up in September 2004 they have been featured on food Network three times (recipe for Success, Sugar rush, and Unwrapped). Stephanie Samuels (Owner) is an artist and a chef who believes “a cake should not only be a work of art but also taste delicious too”. From Homemade Twinkies (airstream) and cup cakes, to extravagant custom cakes and cookies, you can gain 5 lbs walking in this joint. You can also grab fresh honey (straight from the farm) www.conservationfarm.com . Hearty eating, family atmosphere and great music made my experience very enjoyable.
Angel Food Bakery is located at 1636 W Montrose Avenue. Call them at (773)728-1512 or check out their website and order a custom cake at www.angelfoodltd.com. They are top notch and get Chicago.com’s seal of approval. Until then talk to you later Chicago!

We LOVE Stephanie and AngelFood! I mean, for a psychadelic 60s party she actually made a fabulously delicious cake with Tie-dyed fondant and daisies! Crazy Cool.

Stopped in one Sunday at Angel Food with a craving for a grilled cheese sandwich. It was their brunch time and grilled cheese wasn’t on the menu, but they accomodated my craving and served it up with a DELISH side of the BEST roasted potatoes ever!! Great food and excellent service. I’ll drive from NW Indiana to eat here again!!

Buildings are not very cheap and not everybody is able to buy it. But, mortgage loans are invented to help people in such hard situations.

I appreciate your own comments. Even though I might not necessarily agree with almost everything you say, it is good to see somebody showing their mind with the minimum of fuss.

Don’t know just how I get dragged into reading through all a lot of these comments, but it is of course good to know that individuals can make them in the beginning. I Really appreciate the read and carry on writing, I may get motivated to undertake exactly the same at some point.
