Jennivee’s

Top choice in Chicago


This LGBTIQ+-friendly bakery mixes Filipino and American flavors. The teeny room couldn't be any cuter. Chandeliers dangle from the ceiling, and a handful of French-inspired tables and chairs let you sit in dainty comfort as you dig into Jennivee's moist, creamy-frosted layer cakes and cupcakes. Specialties include purple velvet (made with purple yam) and mango cream cakes.

It's a great spot for a late-night fix.
