Baked by Jane

Very cool spot to get coffee or a quick bite. I loved all the live plants in the cafe displayed beautifully throughout the room!

Baked by Jane has become our go-to weekend spot! Their breakfast sandwiches are a game-changer. The vibe is super relaxed, perfect for studying or catching up with family. And the best part? It's family-friendly with tons of activities for the kiddos!

I came here for the first time and loved it. It was around 2pm and it closes at 4pm so it wasn’t busy. I was able to get 45 mins of Bible study in. I enjoyed their grilled cheese w/ bacon and a specialty coffee that I can’t remember the name of. It was made with oatmilk and pistachios.

Tucked away on Northwest Highway in Chicago, Baked by Jane is a warm, inviting bakery café that blends homemade comfort with elevated, creative flair. From the moment you walk in, the charm of this place is undeniable—cozy decor, friendly staff, and the comforting scent of fresh-baked goodness set the tone for an experience that feels like home. The menu offers a well-curated mix of breakfast bites, handcrafted sandwiches, and standout baked goods. Today, I tried the Avocado Toast topped with tomato, greens, and a light drizzle of balsamic that pulled it all together. It was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without being heavy. They also offer a variety of grinders, like the Hot Ham N Cheese with a house-made specialty sauce, or the Caprese Sandwich with mozzarella, tomato, and a balsamic glaze that adds just the right touch of tangy sweetness. But the real stars here are the bakery items. Every treat is made in-house with a brown butter base that takes everything to another level. The cupcakes are phenomenal—favorites like Cookie Dough, Red Velvet, and Lemon Tart are beautifully moist and rich in flavor. You can tell a lot of care goes into each one, and the rotating selection keeps it interesting. Don't skip the Mini Cheesecake Bites or the Brookies (brownie-cookie hybrids that are dangerously good). Drink-wise, they have a full coffee bar and a lineup of refreshers and smoothies. I recommend pairing one of their flavored lemonades (peach and lavender were my picks) with your snack of choice. It’s the perfect mid-day pick-me-up. Whether you’re here for a quick coffee, a brunch date, or a sweet treat to take home, Baked by Jane delivers consistently delicious food in a welcoming environment. They also offer gluten-free options and rotate new flavors weekly, so there's always something new to try. If you’re in the neighborhood—or even if you're not, Baked by Jane is worth the trip.

I think this is a great addition to the neighborhood. Not too many cafes around here. The owner and staff are all so nice! Maybe I missed it the first couple times going, but great to see a full menu with food. Not just coffee and sweets. The breakfast burrito was awesome and FULL. Plus, those scones and butter? 🔥 The coffee is kinda a hit or miss. Sometimes it’s too strong and other times it’s not. It’s never horrible tho.
