Sauce & Bread Kitchen - Chicago, Illinois

This place is the most consistent, inventive, caring diner I’ve ever been to. Since discovering it about a year ago, I have been coming pretty much weekly for my go to favorites. Renatta, Kevin, Mike, anne and everyone there are the most genuine of folks! Don’t sleep on this tucked away gem, it’s worth any distance to enjoy.

We had brunch there last Sunday before antiquing in the neighborhood. My first time, and it was a surprise... a hip diner. My friend ordered the brie quiche and I had gumbo (not usually on the menu). Both were yummy. The specialty here are the baked goods (“made lovingly in house”). Because it was a Sunday, the bakery selection was sparse. We settled on the chocolate coconut cake with ginger, and it did not disappoint. They seemed to be serving a lot of smash burgers with hand cut fries, and that's what I'll order next time. The atmosphere is small and crowded, so not a place to linger over coffee (which was great). Parking on the street, which is free on Sunday. Closed on Monday and Tuesday. Looking forward to my return.

Such a cute casual eatery. We had brunch and I had the best quiche I’ve ever had which I enjoyed with tons of their house made hot sauce. Super flaky pastry. Insane. Ordered a couple tasty pastries, too! Super friendly staff. Get in here.

We’ve eaten here 3-4 times now, and we have never had even one item that fell short of absolutely delicious. These folks are MASTERS of bread and pastry, and I love seeing the different flavors and combinations they dream up. The cherry on top is that every staff member is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the atmosphere all the better. Can’t recommend this spot highly enough!

The food is made with love. SBK is run by an expert baker and her favorite guy! He’s wildly creative as a chef and hot sauce producer. I’d gladly go on record saying that these are the best bagels in the city, a unforgettable smash burger, fun pizza Fridays, and a pastry case that rotates and calls you back again and again like a hot romance. The environment is uncomplicated and welcoming. I can’t wait to eat there again!

Wonderfully inviting spot! Every dish was so good! You can tell they know what they're doing and care a lot about delivering a quality dish.

We tried the banana caramel cake, bourbon date coconut scone, pimento puff, Balkan bun, and sunny foccacia. Every pastry and bread was perfectly baked and delicious.

We will definitely be coming back here as soon as we can

S&B is a DELISH local restaurant worth traveling to whenever you’re even remotely near the north side… both their savory staples and rotating menu items hit the spot every time—Mike is the kind of quirky, creative cook you want to be but will never devote the time or energy to become; Anne is a damn good baker… you’ll rarely see the same pastries twice in the case at any time. They care about their food, their community, and their people. What more could you ask for

Love love love SBK. Love the food & drinks & variety. a great place to pick up pastries & bread, a coffee, get oysters & pizza on the weekends. Or a bottle of wine, their co-op hot sauces & more to take home. A favorite spot to dine & hang in Chicago & I feel lucky to live close by.
