When You Crave Sweet Little Treats in Chicago

Really missed those delicate Chinese‑style cakes and European‑style breads from back home. A friend recommended L&L Homemade Bakery, so on a cold, sweets‑craving day, we ordered a batch of goodies! Today’s Menu 🍰 🍠 Taro Paste & Cheesecake Chiffon with Milk Pudding Box The taro paste is clearly hand‑mashed — pleasantly textured! Love the milk pudding layer — each spoonful is dense, fluffy, and jiggly all at once. 🌽 Creamy Corn Juice Light and refreshing — not too sweet, tastes wholesome. 🍵 Pistachio Earl Grey Cheesecake Pound Cake So delicious! Dense, moist pound cake with strong Earl Grey aroma. Pistachio is subtle but blends beautifully. 🌰 Assorted Nut & Cream Cheese Bread Forgot to snap a photo, but it’s amazing — packed with mixed nuts and cranberries? Every bite is fragrant with milk powder, soft bread, and crunchy nuts. 🧀 Yellow Cheese, Salted Egg Yolk & Pork Floss Cream Cheese Bread Another winner — savory, cheesy, perfectly balanced. Salted egg flavor is mild, but the pork floss and cheese combo is irresistible. 🎁 Complimentary Mini Cake! Not sure what it was, but the cream topping was fantastic! First‑time buyers get a free mini cake. Key Details 📍 🍴 Bakery: L&L Bakery 📍 Address: 248 W 26th St, Chicago, IL 60616 💰 Price: Four treats for $34 total.
