Bennison's Bakery

I thought it would be appropriate to start my review postings with something near and dear to my heart: baked goods, primarily cupcakes. This was one of my favorite places to go in graduate school to grab a delicious red velvet cupcake. I highly recommend Bennison's to all lovers of sweets.



Three words: RED VELVET CUPCAKES.

I LOVE this bakery! Located right in the heart of Evanston, this place is truly a gem. For less than $3 you get a HUGE and unbelievably delicious cupcake. The red velvet is my favorite but the carrot and other flavors are fantastic too. The cake is always perfectly moist and the cream cheese icing is to die for. I've had sheet cakes made from the red velvets here, and those are equally as satisfying.

I also love their angry face cookies. Sometimes after a bad day, you don't want a smiley face, and the angry faced ones are delicious.

Every single time I've been in here (which is more often than I'd like to admit), the staff has been friendly and competent. Bennison's is just a happy place, and all cake enthusiasts in the Chicago area should check it out.
