Baker Miller Bakery & Millhouse

Some of Chicago's best pies, cinnamon rolls and savory sandwiches on buttery breads are served in this highly regarded bakery. Among its accolades are two nominations for the prestigious James Beard Awards. They also have a take-out location in Ravenswood Manor, next to the Francisco stop on the Brown Line, at 4642 N. Francisco, where there's an open kitchen and you can see the bakers in action. While the prices may be higher than other bakeries, it's because they use top quality ingredients, including organic whole grains they mill in-house. One of their most popular items are their light but delicious doughboy donuts.
