World's Best Rooftop Bars
Yes, you'll find music, food and booze. But let's be honest — the greatest assets of these sky-high, swanky bars are their panoramic city views.
Our picks for where to get your cakes, pies, pastries, cookies, bread, and more in these local favorites around the Cape Town
Every city has its beloved local bakeries—places that reliably turn out aromatic loaves of baguette or pumpernickel, small cafes that bake a pie, cupcake, or cookie that you crave daily. We combed some of our favorite spots around the world, sampling their goods (it was tough work) along the way. Here, the spots not to miss, whether your afternoon coffee break leans sweet or savory.
Read on for our picks, or skip ahead to your city of interest: Cape Town; Chicago; Hong Kong; London; maui; Milwaukee; New Orleans; Philadelphia; Portland, OR; Rome; San Francisco; Stockholm; Tokyo; Toronto; and Washington, D.C.
1. Jason Bakery How many bakers can say they have a cult following? Jason Lilley is known to Capetonians on a first-name basis, having built something of a rock star rep for the croissants he serves up at his eponymous Bree Street café (something else he’s serious about: good coffee. Whatever you do, don’t ask for a cappuccino—it’s all about the flat white here). Every Saturday morning, Capetonians log in to Instagram to see what his latest “doughssant” is. He constantly experiments with flavors for his answer to the cronut, which sell out within hours. Recent combinations include coconut macaroon with salted caramel, strawberry and chocolate-chip cookie, earl grey with lavender, and Belgian beer with pretzel.
2. Loaves on Long A relative newcomer to Cape Town’s dining scene, Loaves on Long opened in May in a heritage building on busy Long Street. In that 200-year-old space, Lyndal Wakeford and Ciska Rossouw pursue their biggest passion, running this artisan eatery where bread plays the starring role. Upstairs is a cute café with a balcony overlooking the space, but downstairs is where the baking magic happens. If you’re inspired by their dedication to dough, be sure to ask about weekend classes.
3. Ou Meul Bakkery I first stumbled onto one of Ou Meul’s outposts as a pit stop on a road trip to the Garden Route, in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it town called Riviersonderend (I suspect the name is bigger than the town). While I chalked it away to a particularly scenic roadside stop, I was surprised to discover it was the flagship of a growing group of bakeries beloved for sweets like their pecan tart and mini pies. Soon after, one opened on Long Street in Cape Town’s Central Business District. Now their famous pastries are always a quick stroll away.
4. Schoon de Companje This one isn’t in Cape Town, but I highly recommend making the drive out to Stellenbosch to check it out. Set in a former bank in the heart of the historic city’s beautiful whitewashed central district, you’ll find artisanal baker Fritz Schoon turning out his signature sourdough loaves and popular pastries in Schoon de Companje’s rustic-chic space.
5. Woodstock Bakery While this isn’t exactly a café you can pop in to, Woodstock Bakery is a constant fixture at popular weekend markets like Neighbourgoods and Oranjezicht, where their crusty sourdough and generous bread sticks are perennially popular. But even if you don’t make it to one of their stalls, chances are you’ve tasted their wood-fired loaves at some point during your Cape Town visit—they supply many popular city restaurants and coffee shops with their goods.

Our picks for where to get your cakes, pies, pastries, cookies, bread, and more in these local favorites around the Chicago
As the melting pot of the Midwest, Chicago's various cultural bases come together in an ethnic explosion best explored through culinary delights. This list of the best bakeries in the city highlights not just American treats, but also German, Italian, European, and Swedish goods, too.
1. Alliance Whether heading to the original bakery in Wicker Park or the new patisserie in River North, Alliance consistently creates beautiful and delicious European baked goods and pastries. Pair a ham and cheese croissant or delicate macaron with a cup from the bakery's full espresso bar, while gazing at the cleverly gorgeous made-to-order cakes.
2. Bake In the world of Chicago bakeries, Bake is a relative newcomer—it opened in 2009 among a list of generations-old colleagues. But it has quickly risen to the top of Chicago's favorites with a focus on classic American desserts made with simple and fresh ingredients.
8. D'Amato's This traditional Italian bakery focuses on breads made in its 135-year-old coal-burning oven. A local favorite for pizza, D'Amato's offers several varieties of rectangle-shaped pies, served room temperature but reheated upon request. The crust is Italian bread, and an edge piece will give you extra crispy cheese.
9. Dinkel's Dinkel's is a proudly family-owned German bakery that's been in the same location since 1922. The vast majority of ingredients are sourced locally or from a three-state region surrounding Illinois. Dinkel's even created a new type of breakfast pastry that Chicago fell in love with: the burglaur, a breakfast sandwich in a baked bun.
10. Lutz Traditional German treats and cakes have come from Lutz since 1948. Wedding cakes are a bestseller—chances are most Chicago residents know someone who had their celebration sweetened up by Lutz. Try the stollen for the holidays or baumkuchen as an everyday snack.
11. Swedish Bakery Andersonville's famous Swedish heritage is on display at this 80-plus-year-old bakery, where visitors can come enjoy traditional pastries like toska tarts and tarzariners. The cakes and cookies show the Swedes' true prowess with almond-based desserts. Swedish Bakery also offers a selection of European pastries and cakes. Try the cardamom coffee cake—it's a local favorite.
12. Weber's Often unanimously voted the number one bakery in Chicago, Weber's has been a city mainstay on the southwest side since 1930. Everything is made from scratch and the offerings are a testament to traditional recipes (think king cake and kolacky) married with modern additions, like brownies on a stick or cheddar cheese and onion bread. Weber's is now on its fourth generation of owners in the same family.
