Where are all the Delish bakeries [View all]

I couldn't stand the cheap bread at the local supermarket Tonys in Berwyn and longed for some good Bakery bread, fresh. There used to be a Czech bakery close by named Vesecky's and they closed up in 2023, presumably because of all growing old, but I wonder if their business was suffering from not enough customers.

And I looked around for any nearby bakery, and found just one, an Italian bakery and deli named Vesuvios in North Riverside, thank goodness still open. And I wondered how long before they too go out of business. Berwyn and Cicero are all Mexican now. There was a store on Cermak called La Baguette, so I went in and they had no bread, but they kept the sign.



I looked up the Ethnicity in Chicagoland area and it was interesting. So I made a custom pic of it. You can visit the site too and zoom in for better view.
