A family-owned bakery that's been here since 1974, this is the place to get authentic Greek desserts in Chicago. While many of the items have long, hard-to-pronounce names (Galaktoboureko, anyone?), everything is fresh, delicious and handmade. They have breads, pastries, cookies and cakes, and a few meal items, like the Spanakopita (spinach and cheese pies). The baklava is outstanding, and customers usually buy amigdalota (almond cookies), Louis' Cookies (a chocolate sandwich), baklava and other Greek cookies and pastries by the box-full. There are a few tables inside, but most people take their treats to go.
