Racine Bakery

Delicious bread and bakery at affordable prices. Deli is always fresh. Highly recommended!

We definitely enjoyed some Lithuanian specialties, loved the fish hamburger, Lithuanian cookies, and my husband's favorite potato pudding

My family has been going to this bakery for as long as I can remember. For thanksgiving I bought a loaf of rye bread and a bag of bacon buns. Two days later, mold all over both items. As a result, I had to throw away everything. If they were “fresh” , there is no way they would have been covered in mold two days after purchasing.

We tried the smaller more traditional Kolaczki and they were so perfect. Service was great. We are definitely coming back to try the deli/Grocery part of this homey style bakery.

Delicious Polish food. Fresh baked goods. Friendly service with a smile. Will be back soon!

Fantastic bakery. The chocolate covered custard filled paczki (doughnuts) are my favorite. The nut cups are wonderful and the cookie style kolacky are good. Fillings in items were generous and tasty. The large cheese kolache was very good. Everything was very fresh and the women behind the counter were very pleasant, helpful and patient.

Not like grandma used to make. After hearing such raves about the kolaches here I thought I would give them a try. They are more like cookies than the bread type of our family recipe. Not bad. Just not what I was hoping for.

Great rye bread. Friendly and nice staff. Their deli and food bar have great offerings!

Nice ethnic deli. Great bacon buns, heat 13 sec in microwave. Stuffed cabbage rolls delicious, so huge one is enough for two. Variety of pastries amazing.

My parents grew up in Brighton Park and I remember going to polish bakeries as a kid. On our recent visit back to Chicago, we came across this store and fell in love with it! I think we were the only English speaking people in the store. It reminded me of shopping with my Grandma and she'd speak polish to everyone.
The food is incredible! You can get authentic homemade polish food like potato pancakes, borchst, beet soup and a ton of other items that they rotate out. The bakery side of the store is incredible too! They have REAL kolaches (not the puff pastry kind you find at every bakery

So much to choose from & service with a smile. keep up the great work & see you guys again soon.

Best any kind of sandwich you want , they pack the sandwich could only finish half under $5 , the soups are amazing they can run
Out so go early , had the mushroom soup Delicious home made soup $3 , the bakery is very good , the rye bread very fresh
Been good for years love this place

Only a few traditional Polish bakeries here. Very good rye bread. Pastries are delicious.
Get authentic Polish paczkis here during lent.

I bought custard cream, chocolate coated, strawberry with whipped cream and cheese Pączki. They are all delicious. My favorite one is cheese cream filling. This was my first visit. I will go back again for other baking goods.

Best cheesecake paczkis! My best friend brought me one today and I couldn’t believe how delicious it was.

I love eating really good potato pancakes without all the work. They're only one of many excellent items sold here.

Awesome customer service . The girls upfront were very helpful and took the time to explain all the different pazcki flavors. I will definitely return to try their cakes

I love this bakery. The Paczki's are fresh, delicious and authentic, not your grocery store variety. They bake them year round not just for Fat Tuesday. The bacon meat buns are also delicious. The bakery shares a parking lot with the restaurant next door, so it can get crowded. The bakery is in Chicago, so don't forget to bring a bag or pay seven cents for one. ENJOY!

Bring your kids to this genuine bakery and deli. Prices are not bad and parking is easy. This is what grocery stores try to copy in their "specialty" departments. The quality you'll find in this real bakery is a refreshing change from the "factory" bread in grocery stores.

Paczki are available year-round, not just in February for Paczki Day. It sounds like Punch-Key. They are like jelly donuts or bismarks, with a wide variety of fillings.

I think wars were fought over which rye bread is best; Polish or Lithuanian. Get both and keep the peace. They make a lot more than

I really really really love their donuts and sweets. Also not expensive. I have tried their warm food as well and it's great for lunch if you need something good. Definitely going to be back again and again

I only subtract one star because of the smell upon entering the place, it was terrible (probably due to the meat though). Otherwise, everything that pertains to the bakery was great. I visited this place looking for sweets, and I found them. I ordered two muffins: one blueberry and one banana nut. The blueberry was moist and tasteful, but I have had better banana nut muffins. I randomly ordered a sugar cookie, it tasted like a normal sugar cookie. I ordered two raspberry packzi's, they were just ok. Under the above circumstances, I had to subtract one more star. But I think my own rating is

Came in for paczkis in August 2019...I was so happy they had a whole assortment of them year round! The only thing that was kinda a downer was that there wasn't a lot of filling in them and was mostly dough. But they also had a lot of other Eastern European pastries that looked delicious as well as savory meats and meals that I would probably try if lived in the area! I'll definitely go back one day!

We had the ambrosia cake from Racine bakery, the best cake I ever had. Give it a try you won't be disappointed

Wow, what a treasure! We stopped by on a whim and were VERY happy we did. I truly don't understand how they can make such wonderful baked goods and sell them at such low prices.

We got four items (rum ball, muffin, doughnut, cheesecake slice) and the bill was $5.00. If this was downtown Chicago, the bill would have been two or three times that.

Very good quality!

When I was a child my parents used to go to Racine Bakery, so I have eaten food from their my entire life. Now that I live out of state, when I return, I must also go back to Racine. Everything is excellent, but their Bacon Buns , Kolach, and Polish Crullers are the very best!!!!
I go and get them every week when up in Illinois. I really don't like too many sweet things and they have just the right amount of powered sugar on them. 63 years of Racine Bakery and not tired of them yet!!!!

Oh, wow! Whether you're leaving Midway or going, take a few minutes and grab a snack here.

We ordered five items, ranging from beautiful sugar cookies, fruit tarts, Bavarian cream donuts, and two items I'm not sure what they call them, but they looked amazing.

Everything was light, fresh, and tasty. And as I said, what an great price!

The lady behind the counter was also very pleasant--and patient--as I took forever to decide what I wanted.

I visited Racine Bakery on Archer avenue in Chicago's Garfield Ridge neighborhood a few times in the last year. This most recent visit I didn't get there until about an hour before closing. I was initially impressed with the large selection of rolls, breads, cookies, and pastries. Then I noticed every product was being packed up for sale the next day. When I inquired, they stated they sell most things for two days and refrigerated pastry for up to five days. Really? I've been to some bakeries where you may get two days on a refrigerated eclair but breads and rolls have a one day
