Locals mention it with awe, travelers take long detours for just one bite, and after a visit, every other bakery feels like a letdown. So if you’re in Illinois and craving something unforgettable, trust Finance Buzz. This is the place. It’s the best! And it’s calling your sweet tooth.

According to a list compiled by Finance Buzz, the best bakery in Illinois is Lost Larson in Chicago.

Here’s what Finance Buzz had to say about the most sinfully delicious bakery in the entire state:
