Known as the “Gateway to the World,” Albany Park is the most ethnically diverse neighborhood in Chicago. From iconic theatre companies to museums, restaurants to parades to community gardens, our neighborhood is vibrant, alive, and growing. Families come here to take root alongside people who’ve lived here for generations. The small business is alive and thriving in Albany Park—and we love that. The story of Albany Park is the real story of America today.
This non-profit bakery/cafe is an offshoot of the original located in the Lillstreet Art Center in Ravenswood. Like the original, this place is known for their homemade pies—like the Chocolate Peanut Butter and Michigan Sour Cherry—and their organic, locally-sourced sandwiches and salads are great as well. And to top it all off, eating here directly funds the First Slice soup kitchen that serves thousands of meals each month to the homeless and needy.
