St. Roger Abbey - Wilmette

This bakery is a breath of fresh air. Everything is freshly made, and each item is unique compared to what you typically find elsewhere. You can truly taste the quality and skill in every bite. I will definitely be returning!

This place was an unforgettable experience. The coffee was incredible—absolutely amazing! And the baked goods from the display case were remarkable. Those little fresh tarts exceeded all my expectations; they tasted even better than I imagined. Everything was incredibly fresh. All I can say is, if you're in the area, you absolutely must visit this place—100%!

The nuns here are incredibly friendly, and the pastries are top-notch. I’ve never tasted fruit as fresh as theirs—especially the strawberries, which felt like they were picked the same day! The coffee and lattes were delicious, and the service was fantastic. They made sure we had a wonderful experience in the lovely downtown Wilmette, even accommodating us beyond their closing time on our first visit. They are truly a valuable part of the community. My wife and I stopped by twice during our stay, and we highly recommend that anyone in the area check out their shop. Update: Still the same great flavors and friendly nuns!

I gave them an attempt during Christkindlmarket and really liked the Tarts. I wanted to look for bakers today and found this place. When I saw the tarts on the display, I was ecstatic. I bought several things, including the tarts (mah babys) and did not notice that one of the ladies slipped a surprise in my pocket until I came home! So glad to know where I find this now if I'm ever back in the area!

One of the best apple tart I’ve had ever, and I try the almond twist also was so delicious definitely I will try more of what they have , love everything about it
