Sweet Rabbit Bakery — Restaurant in Lake View Township

I stopped by Sweet Rabbit for a quick afternoon snack a few days ago and while the pastries are awesome I think the customer experience can be improved. There is ample seating that actually looks cozy, but the restaurant is a little awkward to navigate. There's no clear spot to stand in line or wait for drinks and the staff isn't around or friendly enough to help. I came in around Noon and there was no one nearby the till, which did give me time to peruse the case, but I didn't see any menu nearby or prices so I just sort of picked what looked good. Drinks are listed small and far away from where the register is so it's kind of hard to piece together your order. When someone did come out from the back to take my order, they said probably less than 2 words to me, but did quickly grab my pastries and hand me a drink. A little more friendliness could go a long way here in retaining repeat customers. All the minor complaints aside, I am SO happy to have a local bakery and coffee shop in the area and they fill a much needed void for us south of the main Roscoe Village strip. The pastries are to die for and I can't wait...

New place just opened up, I’ve been waiting to go there for a while. Usually busy but I was able to find it at a time where it was pretty empty! The chai latte and the vanilla latte are very good and reasonably priced. Also, I tried the cinnamon bun and it was great! I’m not a fan of super sweet things and the cinnamon bun was perfect! It was nice and soft and the glaze wasn’t too sweet or overpowering. Also the chocolate croissant was very flaky and also really good. I would definitely recommend checking this place out. Also they sell the art on the wall, made by a local artist who paints food/Chicago...

Went to Sweet Rabbit Bakery early in the morning and it hit the spot. Place smelled like fresh pastries the second I walked in. No line, quiet, felt real cozy.

Tried the monkey bread instead of my usual pastry and honestly, it was the best choice. Golden outside, soft inside, sticky caramel glaze all over it. Just sweet enough without being too much. Had it with a hot coffee and yeah… dipping the bread in there was next level.

Got my order quickly and the staff was friendly, even gave me some ideas for what to try next time. Easy place to like, and I’d go back just to work...
