Bang Bang Pie & Biscuits
2051 N California Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“This unassuming Chicago spot has earned legendary status for its made-to-order biscuits and seasonal pies that inspire genuine devotion—reviewers genuinely debate whether the lavender butter egg and bacon biscuit or the precisely balanced chocolate pecan pie deserves top honors. The vibe balances perfectly between a quick counter grab and a leisurely sit on the cozy back patio, where the staff's attentiveness (like sourcing rare seasonal pies for regulars) turns a simple breakfast into something people plan their visits around. Whether you're catching coffee and a pastry on the go or settling in for a full breakfast with friends, the care in every detail, especially those exceptional biscuits, makes this feel like the kind of neighborhood gem that becomes a cherished tradition.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Fun cozy spot with some tasty bites! The sausage biscuit was amazing, the biscuit really stole the show though. The cup of grits came as a bowl of grits and were alright. The key lime pie was perfect - not too sweet, not too tart. The service was so kind and inviting. The inside…
Unassuming great spot for breakfast. There is a great patio out back and a quick counter order format. The biscuits are great with the jam or as a sandwich. The BLT and chicken sausage biscuit where huge hits. I highly recommend this spot to grab a quick breakfast for
