My husband and I were visiting Chicago and a friend of mine that lives there took us to this place for lunch. They graciously served us about 15 minutes before the kitchen closed, which we were thankful for. The interior is beautiful! And the fact that they ask for your vaccination card is extremely attractive to me. The food was delicious, as well as the coffee. I had a biscuit sandwich with veggies and a side salad. The only odd thing was that the lettuce was very, very cold. I also bought a chive cheddar scone to take with me. It was incredible! I would love to visit Baker Miller again the next time Im in Chicago.

Love this spot! I went to their original location on Western many years ago; so happy to see theyre still thriving! Their current location went through a beautiful renovation and the inside is so cute! Its great when a company reinvests in themselves to make the customer experience more enjoyable. Sucks that the masks indoors are coming back but I respect their decisions on how to keep their staff and customers safe by having outdoor seating and a to go window. Food is phenomenal, my favorites are the elote hash and dough boys! I will continue to be a repeat customer :)

Issue with order placed online 10/20 never received Order store reported to Postmates no update or contact from support do not use their serviceUpdate: I wanted resolve for the order I did not receive. With the one follow up to the report sent, there was no proof of delivery and I was never contacted by the driver either. However I’m still charged for this and have to escalate issue with my bank hence having to file police report for the charge. I don’t understand why be passive aggressive about the issue I understand it’s not the fault of the bakery, but this could have been handled better so the service of Postmates can be apprehended

Migrated from Lincoln Square to 4655 North Lincoln Avenue after a lease dispute in 2018 Baker Miller is no stranger to turmoil, and amidst a global pandemic the concept from Megan Miller and husband David has resorted to take-out only from 8am until 3pm Thursday through Monday.Officially titled Baker Miller Bakery & Dinette, a combination café and mill house from former Bang Bang Pie employees that debuted in 2014, much of the Miller’s early praise came from house-ground Grains, hand-milled Flour and Chicago’s first “Toast Bar,” while critiques of both price and inconsistency have also been commonplace.Using online or walk-up ordering during COVID-19, staff appropriately donning PPE but inattentive-bordering-on-rude while waiting for two slices of Bread to be toasted, it was on a nearby bench that the Miller’s goods were eaten, buttered naturally-leavened Sourdough an immediate highlight thanks to both tanginess and crumb while a $3.75 Biscuit was arguably underbaked at the bottom but nonetheless enjoyable.Trying hard not to focus on prices, David and Megan’s commitment to their craft most certainly commendable, it is hard not to raise an eyebrow at $3.50 for a two-bite Sandwich Cookie that tastes mostly like Sugar, a quarter more for double the amount of Chocolate Chips and perfectly baked Dough faring far better in terms of taste as well as value.Also performing well with a toothsome Thumbprint Cookie, Strawberry Jam providing just enough sweetness to a blend of Nuts and Oats, those seeking a “signature” item will find it in Baker Miller’s “Doughboy,” the baked round far lighter than a Doughnut and currently dressed like Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal clocking in at $4.50 after tax – far better than the more expensive Blueberry Oat Muffin which finds Fruit in a clump at the center of an otherwise flavorless matrix.

Love this place. Very friendly staff, quick service, fantastic baked goods and food. The doughboys are the reason for return. Coffee for me is doable but nothing to write home about. They do not do tips but charge to pay a living wage, highly admirable!

Love this neighborhood gem! Their avocado toast is my favorite. And I cant resist the baked goods either! One of my go-to spots in Lincoln Square. I’m also appreciate of the efforts they’ve taken to keep their customers and employees safe during the pandemic.

Coffee was good. I have the elote grits which were sooooo delicious. My friends enjoyed their meals. I love the ambiance and the staff was really nice. The three meals with three coffees came out to 52 dollars. Not sure if I feel like it’s pricy because it was really delicious and I think it was organic so it was a good choice. My friend said the salad dressing was great. And the biscuits and gravy were Super scrumptious.

I’ve heard a lot about this place and finally went in. What I found was a pretty decent but unremarkable eating experience surrounded by lots of eclectic cafe flair reminiscent of a pop up, Instagram bar.I had a cappuccino with zero artistry and my friend had a tasty kombucha that came in a bottle that you can pour into a mason jar. For my breakfast I had the sausage maple cheddar biscuit. I underestimated the biscuit portion which was easily my least favorite part, but I just don’t like biscuits. My friend enjoyed it. The eggs and cheddar were tasty though the egg was a custard which meant scrambled and then fried - I would have preferred a nice, greasy fried egg. The maple was a great touch.My friend had the Shakshouka Heirloom Oat Bowl. I was instantly jealous. The oat/grain base was hearty and flavorful, topped with all sorts of goodies like avocado, a hard boiled egg and the shakshouka which I believe was the spicy red salsa like substance that soon dominated the whole mix. I had potatoes on the side of my biscuit sandwich instead of salad and dipped it in the mix, and it was amazing.The whole meal cost over $40 before tip which was a bit of a shock. This is not a place to go for a quick bite. It’s cute, has a patio and the staff isn’t rude but for my eating experience I really felt like I overspent. I don’t know that I have any reason to return, it was a fun experience but I can’t justify the price for what I had.I think Baker Miller is about a 3.4, so I rounded down.

Baker Miller is one of our favorite places in Lincoln Square. Whenever we are in town we make sure to come by for breakfast. The lox sandwich is a perfect combination of light and filling. Its one of those meals that makes you feel like youre starting the day off right! The coffee isnt our favorite (its a little too acidic tasting as we prefer bold/dark coffee) but its still yummy and pairs well with breakfast! We also love the outdoor dining area and the art hanging in the restaurant!

At 2:21 I Got yelled right out of the store for entering. Did not see a sign that said window service only? Called at 2:20 apparently they dont answer the phone even though there were no customers present. They said they were CLOSED & out of bread as the staff was stuffing their face with BREAD! Will never go back. RUDE...

The doughboys are very good, they go for $3 a piece. When was there they had an Oreo and a caramel apple. The Oreo was a bit deceiving I didnt taste any resemblance but was still very good.Seating is hard to find, its a pretty small place so try to go during week. The toast bar looked unimpressive, would stick to a pastry or other menu item.

Review №21

Dined in on a Friday morning. I had the Elote Hash. The menu says this comes with a soft egg but I asked the nice man at the counter if they could give me an over easy egg instead as Im totally opposed to runny egg whites. He said it was cool and had the cook (owner?) come over and show him how to adjust my egg preference on the tablet. When the dish came, that egg yolk was hard. Like chalky hard. He fried that thing all the way through.My boyfriend ordered the Egg & Bacon biscuit with a side of potatoes.The potatoes on both of our dishes were definitely under cooked. Despite those things, we enjoyed our food. The pastries looked delicious and they have horchata pie! I mean, cmon now. Well definitely be back for it.Gotta say though - you guys need to clean your bathrooms up a bit. There were some gross looking questionable spots in there.

We are lucky to live just a few blocks away. They are a fantastic community business, always bending over backwards to provide great service. Plus their food is AMAZING.

And theyre always coming up with fun new specials to keep it interesting. Thanks for being great!

A fantastic breakfast cafe run by wonderful people! They were so quick to transition to safe take out service when the stay-at-home order hit. I deeply respect them for keeping their patio closed and putting the safety of their staff and customers ahead of profit. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 👏🏻 We miss being in their store but will continue to support them by ordering take out. It’s delicious by the way!!!

Amazing food, and even more amazing staff. I’ve never had a bad experience. They care about the food they serve, AND making sure that their neighborhood and community is safe. They are one of my favorite restaurants in the city. (Also if you haven’t had the horchata pie you’re missing out).

Review №36

Not only does Baker Miller offer exceptional service, food and drink, but they are creative innovators in serving our community tirelessly. It always brightens my day to stop in for brunch to enjoy The Ben (one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches ever) and a cinnamon roll (theirs are the best) and a loaf of sourdough (fantastic) to take home. Its also always a treat to pop in on my way to work to fill my travel coffee mug (without a doubt one of my favorite cups of coffee in the city) and grab a hand pie (yum, yum, yummmm). They should get a sixth star for making their own graham crackers for their pie crust (try the key lime, STAT) and a seventh for all of the work they do to lift up others in our neighborhood and beyond (from sharing smiles with customers to donating to worthy causes to promoting other local businesses to being a beacon of light during the pandemic). Baker Miller, thank you for everything you do for Lincoln Square! We love you!

I love Baker Miller! Before the pandemic, I would work and have meetings in this cute dinette. Since the pandemic, Ive become an even more frequent customer. I love their super fresh bread, decadent biscuits and pie, and amazing take and bake cinnamon rolls. I also appreciate that they have prioritized the wellbeing of their staff and their patrons and are choosing to wait to reopen until it is absolutely safe. Dave and the entire team are so kind, friendly, and upbeat every time Im there.

We love Baker Miller! It has a great neighborhood feel. We love their hand pies and cinnamon doughboys.

Get yourself a chocolate chip cookie, and thank me later. Wait, also get the sausage and egg breakfast sandwich on one of their incredible biscuits. While you’re at it, maybe pick up some IL-milled bread flour since the grocery store is out. And if you’re still hungry, the breakfast bowl with grits will stick to your ribs.Seriously, this place is great. The food is top notch, they prioritize local businesses and farms and their prices are still on the cheaper side of Chicago brunch. The owners are active in the local grain and restaurant communities. This is a wonderful restaurant to support while enjoying a tasty meal!

Even having moved out of the neighborhood, I like to make it back here a few times a month - theyre a great resource for breakfast or pie throughout the day, but I also love getting their bread and pastries to take home. A real gem, with a great connection to the neighborhood. Cant get enough!

Review №45

Ordered online at 9am for a 1200 pickup, but one item on my order was unexpectedly sold out. The fact that the sales person just says I dont know how you ordered it and me not getting a call about it, just leads me to think it was in stock when it was ordered, but just sold to someone else who just walked up.

Review №46

We are big fans of Baker Miller. We used to go just once-in-a-while as its super yummy and high quality but also priced accordingly. With the pandemic and all, we find ourselves getting food from restaurants less overall, but getting food (especially a loaf of hot bread right at opening time) from Baker Miller more -- the food is always delicious, it travels generally pretty well (some other eat-in places have definitely not mastered the art of take-out food) and theyve been pretty open and transparent online about all the measures they are taking to keep employees and customers safe.

I recently ordered a key lime pie and everyone in my family agreed that it was the best key lime pie we had ever had! You can truly taste the care and high quality ingredients Baker Miller uses. They’re one of my favorite bakeries in the city and throughout quarantine I have not found another restaurant taking such high safety precautions, which I really appreciate. Upon arrival, I called from my car and someone brought my order out to me in less than 2 mins and all I had to do was roll my window down!

Review №48

I started visiting Baker Miller in Lincoln Square during quarantine- they’re one of the few places around us that has a walk up window. We get a loaf of bread and a bag of pastries once a week and they are always AMAZING. The staff are so kind and so appreciative of our business. Visiting weekly has been a true silver lining of this dumpster fire pandemic- I can’t recommend them enough!

Review №49

Everything I’ve eaten here tastes like it is made with love. I am a fellow pastry chef and I recognize that bakeries like Baker Miller are hard to come by. The owners and staff put so much care into making the best possible product that they can, and it shows. They also really care about their customers, and often ask for direct feedback and truly listen. I used to live down the street and was addicted to the seeded sourdough and the pecan jammer cookies, oh and also the oatmeal...and the grits....the list goes on. If you haven’t supported this place yet, there’s no better time than now. I guarantee they will be your new trusted go-to bakery.

Review №50

Such a great atmosphere and the front counter person was so very sweet and patient as this was my first time in. My only reason for giving 3 stars is the latte was just not up to par. The milk was a bit over steamed and it was kind of just, here’s some milk with shots in it, as opposed to a nicely frothed smooth latte. I will definitely be back as their commitment to giving back is strong.

Baker Miller has been my go to bakery since moving up to Lincoln Square over a year ago. They’ve now become my go to take out spot during the current crisis. Easy online ordering. Smooth contactless pick up. Delicious and decadent food and treats. Today we picked up deli salads, brats, and bread. And they threw in fresh baked hotdog buns! We did the Mother’s Day brunch package a few weeks ago. Amazing. I was finally able to try and take and bake cinnamon rolls since they often sell out. Yesterday we picked up breakfast sandwiches and the lox plate. Each plate and sandwich comes with a fresh green salad. Don’t forget to ask for plastic ware/napkins if you plan on eating it before you get home. And don’t forget your mask if you’re ordering at the window. Kudos to this small bakery for pivoting so quickly. This neighbor is thankful you figured out how to make this work.

Review №62

Baker Miller is not only one of the best places to get delicious food, but they are pioneers in kindness, community giving, and safety for their customers and employees. Their food is excellent (my fav is the elotes grits and cinnamon buns!), high quality, and well worth the visit and price. Did you know they MAKE their own graham crackers for their graham cracker crust pies?!? They are constantly trying new things and growing and improving as a business. They run weekend specials, sometimes have unique dining opportunities that are sometimes a limited run or new experiments (burgers that were heavenly and the buffalo grits!!). But above all they are really paying attention to science and safety when making policies for how they conduct business during this pandemic. Curb side pick up and limited range delivery only. Lots and lots of love for this bakery at the heart of my neighborhood.

You should definitely go here.

Review №68

I really want to love this place. The old location was great, but I feel like they sacrificed something when they moved closer into the Square. Staff is awesome, coffee is great. But, I got the same dish Ive ordered a million times before, and as other reviews have mentioned, the food was cold. It came out much much faster than at the old place. But, honestly, I always enjoyed the time it took. The portions appeared to be smaller, and they had changed sliced fresh avocado to a scoop of sort of brownish guacamole. Also, I know theyre pressed for space, but storing baked goods right next to the restroom was just sort of off-putting. Ill give them another shot next month.

I wanted to support local businesses during COVID so I finally got around to trying Baker Miller and Im so happy I did! I have ordered the party pie, cinnamon rolls, white bread, and biscuits acrosd 4-5 visits. Walk up ordering was easy, as was the online pre-order. The pie was great, cinnamon rolls were fantastic and HOLY COW the biscuits are delicious! Staff have always been very pleasant and helpful. My only issue so far was that the cinnamon rolls were take and bake and didnt have reheating directions, but it was easy enough to figure out. Will definitely be ordering from them again, especially after seeing how they have treated their staff throughout the stay at home order - it seems like they actually care a lot about their employees and their health and its great to see!

Great bakery. Lovely staff. Pies to die for.Good local spot to stop in for a pastry and coffee, or sit down and have breakfast/brunch with friends.

Awesometown.Also during the COVID time theyve been doing curbside and pick-up window. Check their instagram & website for details on hours, menus & availability.

Any of the baked goods - bread, pastries, pies- are out of this world! Ive had just about every regular breakfast dish and leave with a happy tummy time after time. Their lunch menu leaves a little to be desired, but still some good, hearty options to keep you fueled. Staff is warm and friendly and eager to answer questions and give recommendations when asked.

Solid NOPE for me. The biscuit and gravy was good until we found 2 hairs in them. The salmon benedict came out quick but was served with soft boiled (?) eggs instead of poached eggs like Im accustomed to and the green salad tasted milky, the way greens do when they start to go bad. I pushed through my hairless meal and it pushed right back up an hour later. Try going when they are less busy so that they can pay more attention to your meal.

Review №80

Horrible customer service. I asked for a regular scrambled egg with our meal after I was told they could make any type of egg I wanted - instead of what we ordered, we were given the standard custard. When I pointed that out and brought my meal straight up to the counter, I was rebuffed and told “This is our scrambled egg - we scramble it and bake it.” Okay ma’am, I know what a custard is. That’s not what I ordered. I spoke with two of the other employees when she walked away and they both had attitudes about it :( So I ordered a over easy egg, now kind of upset that I couldn’t get the regular scrambled egg I requested. When I tried to hand her back the food, she told me to throw it away myself. Still don’t quite understand why I couldn’t get a regular scrambled egg without walking away from a restaurant I liked feeling bad.

The food was not great. I got the Avocado Benedict and the guacamole tasted awful. Also, the eggs were not runny at all.

Review №85

Had high expectations, based on what I had read from other reviews around the web. I was looking forward to the famous oatmeal as I am a big fan of oatmeal (that sounds kinda weird now that I type it out, but its true). The oatmeal was.... ok. I mean, the flavors were good, but it was lukewarm and on the watery side. Honestly, Ill take the steel cut oats that I make any day of the week (Alton Browns recipe - look it up). But the real let down was that they ran out of eggs. Mind you, I got there about 10 minutes after they opened on a Sunday, so when I heard that theyd run out of eggs, I (like the other patron who wanted to order eggs) was like..... what? How does a breakfast place run out of eggs 10 minutes after they open? (and by the looks of things, there were only a few people there since they had opened, which means they had really run out of eggs the day before, but.... no one noticed??)

Went here for breakfast this morning and had the southern hash and a hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was lukewarm. I felt that my potatoes and eggs were kind of blah overall. No seasoning on the potatoes or eggs. I got the gravy on the side which I was happy about because I didnt think it was that good. I wouldnt come back. Paying $20 for what I consider to be subpar food with basically serving and cleaning up after yourself was not worth it for me. Wont be back.

Everything I have tried here since opening weekend has been phenomenal. From cinnamon rolls and pie to seasonal savory options, I have always been happy. Come early, as they do sell out. Its disappointing to come two hours before closing and find theyre out of cinnamon rolls, biscuits, and baguettes, but I take it as a testament to how everything is made fresh and its never like whats left is a bad choice.

Solid breakfast spot! From the bakers that brought you the Bang Bang Pie Shop, this is a simple yet well thought out bakery. Honoring the art of sweet and savory simplicity. Some might get frustrated by the less then complex menu but if thats what your looking for go somewhere else.

This is our(me and the GF) first time here, and we really enjoyed ourselves. A cute and quint space. We placed our order in front, the GF order the Elote Hash with an egg over medium instead of the soft egg that originally comes with it. I order the Egg and Bacon biscuit sandwich with potatoes. A1 for presentation, the Hash especially. Both our dishes had potatoes and some I mean just some 1/10th of the potatoes were undercooked. The GF egg came over hard unfortunately but it happens quite often when we order in other restaurants. Outside of that the food was great we enjoyed everything. Flavors were there and we would definitely come again. We might just come back later today to have some PIE!!!! The staff were friendly and nice. We would definitely recommend to our friends and family!!

Hopefully this place is just going through so growing pains but I was really disappointed today. Couldn’t get an espresso drink because the machine wasn’t hooked up. Then paid $15 for cold (supposed to be hot) coffee and tasteless avocado toast that took 3 tries to finally get a soft boiled egg. And even then, that was cold too. I won’t be going back. Sad because it’s such a great location and has potential if they could get their act together.

This is a great spot for breakfast, lunch, or a snack on the go. From my understanding, all the bread is made there, and the actual flour is ground there as well? I went there when it first opened and have been back around 5 times since then. Really good coffee and the food is all very good as well, though somehow each time I go I seem to spend around $10 or more. One baked good and a coffee will be closer to $10 than Im fully comfortable with, but its all delicious. I would recommend their toast / topping buffet option (3 pieces of soft bread with about 10 different type of toppings to try from), their vegan chocolate cake (so moist and dense!), and their version of eggs benedict. Sometimes when I come here I feel like things taste a little weird (not bad), but I think its because Im used to all the processed bread and bleached flour from stores. This is all natural goodness.

Mediocre and bland food that had way too much pepper. Drinks either from frozen or too watered down. Food catered to more health conscious or hipster people and more expensive than it should be for the amount and taste of the food. Very unenthusiastic staff that seem to care less about customers even getting my order wrong. Desserts were dry but fairly cheap.

Super Delish! The food is fantastic. Staff has always been very nice. If the food wasnt so good I would probably rank it closer to a 3. Because if Im being honest, Im not a huge fan of the concept or comfort level of the actual space. Would most reccomend for take away as it gets pretty slammed especially on weekends, or to go at off-peak hours. Another odd thing is that it seems to be pretty self-serve oriented yet they still ask for tips at the register...
