Chicago's Oldest Bakeries and Sweets

01/29/2012

Along with this city's century-old eateries, it is no surprise that places to satisfy our sweet tooth also have a rich history here in Chicago. The oldest bakery launched in the Little Italy neighborhood, another nearly as old began in Humboldt Park...and one of the oldest Ice Cream shops in the area is located in Wilmette!
