Indian Bakery in Chicago — Where Mithai Meets Cake

Urban Bakery bakes where two dessert traditions overlap: proper cakes and breads on one side, Indian flavours on the other. That's how you get a rasmalai cake soaked in saffron milk, a gulab jamun cake with whole jamuns folded through it, a motichoor laddoo cake for birthdays that need to feel like home, and thandai milk cake loaves you won't find in a supermarket aisle.

Everything can be made eggless — most of it already is — which matters for pooja days, Jain and vegetarian households, and anyone tired of being told eggless means dry. We bake at 2660 N. Halsted St. in Lincoln Park; order online for pickup or walk in and pick from the counter.
