Jennivee's Bakery

Chicago, IL

At Jennivee's Bakery, we believe everyone deserves good cake. What started as one woman's lifelong love of baking has grown into one of Chicago's most welcoming sweet spots, tucked into the Lakeview neighborhood and open to absolutely everyone. Our founder, Jennivee, is a proud transgender Filipina baker who opened these doors in 2017 to share her confections and to build a space where the LGBTQ community and its allies always feel at home. We are proudly trans-owned, and that spirit of inclusion is baked into everything we do, from the people we welcome at the counter to the care we put into every order. Step inside and you will find cases full of temptations. We are known for our cakes and cupcakes, with more flavors than you can count, alongside brownies, bars, sweet rolls, cheesecakes, cookies, and fresh breakfast pastries. Filipino-inspired favorites like ube, mango, and tres leches sit right beside classic chocolate and vanilla, so there is something for every craving and every celebration. Need a custom cake for a birthday, wedding, or just because? We love turning your ideas into edible art. We are also one of the few bakeries in the city that keeps the lights on late. On weekends you can satisfy a midnight sweet tooth with us, because a good dessert should never have to wait until morning. Grab a cupcake and a coffee, settle in with friends, and enjoy the easy, friendly vibe our regulars rave about. Over the years we have been honored to share our story on television and to see neighbors, first-timers, and out-of-towners become part of our extended family. Every slice we serve carries the same message: you are welcome here, exactly as you are. So whether you are picking up a dozen cupcakes, ordering a showstopping custom cake, or simply popping in for a late-night treat, come indulge responsibly with us. We cannot wait to send you home a little sweeter than you arrived.

Se7en Bites

Orlando, FL

Welcome to Se7en Bites, where Southern comfort is a way of life and everything starts from scratch. Tucked into the heart of Orlando's Milk District on North Primrose Drive, our bakeshop and brunch kitchen is the place folks come when they want food that tastes like home, only a little more indulgent. Chef and owner Trina Gregory-Propst built this place around the idea that good food should feel like a hug, so we pile our plates high with the nostalgic dishes we grew up loving and give every one of them a modern twist. Mornings here mean biscuits the size of your fist, buttery and layered, split open for our signature breakfast sandwiches and smothered in sausage gravy. We do brunch the way it was meant to be done, unhurried and generous, with fried chicken, shrimp and grits, cinnamon rolls, and eggs done right. And then there are the pies. Oh, the pies. Our cases stay full of towering meringues, fruit pies, cream pies, and the kind of cakes that make a birthday worth celebrating. If it can be baked, chances are we are baking it fresh and baking it with love. We are proudly LGBTQ+ and woman-owned, and that spirit of welcome sits at the center of everything we do. Every guest who walks through our door is family, whether it is your first visit or your fiftieth. We believe a bakery should be a gathering place, a spot where neighbors linger over coffee, strangers become friends, and nobody leaves hungry or unseen. Se7en Bites grew from a small dream into a beloved Orlando institution, earning recognition along the way, but the heart of it has never changed. We still make everything by hand, still greet regulars by name, and still believe that a slice of pie can turn a bad day around. Come hungry, bring your people, and settle in. Whether you are here for a leisurely weekend brunch, a box of pastries to go, or a whole pie for the table, we will treat you like kin and send you home full. That is the Se7en Bites way, and it always will be.

Pigeon Bagels

Pittsburgh, PA

At Pigeon Bagels, we make the kind of bagel worth waking up early for. Every morning in our Squirrel Hill shop at 5613 Hobart Street, we hand-roll our dough, boil it, and bake it the old-fashioned way that gives each bagel its dense, chewy interior and glossy crust. There are no shortcuts here, just time, attention, and a whole lot of dough. Our story started in 2017, when founder Gab Taube began selling bagels at farmers markets and through wholesale accounts around Pittsburgh. She and her crew baked through the night in a borrowed pizzeria kitchen, building a cult following one dozen at a time. Fittingly, Taube is German for pigeon, the humble, hardworking city bird we are proud to be named after. In the summer of 2019, we finally found a roost of our own and opened the doors to our Squirrel Hill storefront. We are a proudly woman-owned bakery, and our shop is certified kosher dairy by the Vaad Harabanim of Greater Pittsburgh. Landing in Squirrel Hill felt like coming home: Gab's grandparents settled in the neighborhood decades ago, and her dad grew up on these very streets. There may be no better bagel neighborhood in Pittsburgh, and we are honored to be part of it. Come in and you will find a spread of bagels, from the classics to the ones we cannot stop experimenting with, plus schmears, whitefish, and other fixings to build your perfect order. We bake fresh pastries too, and pour good coffee to go with them. Everything is made in small batches, so when we sell out, we sell out, which is our favorite problem to have. We are open Wednesday through Monday, 7:30 in the morning until 2:30 in the afternoon, and closed on Tuesdays to rest up and prep. Orders are take-out, and you can pre-order online or grab what looks good in the case. Whether you are a regular who knows exactly what you want or a first-timer wondering what the fuss is about, we will have a warm bagel waiting. Pull up a spot in line, say hello, and let us feed you. We think you will understand why Pittsburgh keeps coming back to the pigeon.
