First time visit last week while visiting the city and so sad we do not have a Broken Tart at home! Highly highly highly suggest a visit to this beautiful bakery! I ordered a grain free chocolate chip cookie and a BT iced latte special and was not disappointed. Busy Friday morning but was still greeted with smiling faces and available seating! I love the atmosphere and neighborhood feeling, you can tell this is some people’s daily spot and is absolutely felt as I sat and enjoyed my treats! Very accessible and plenty of options for all dietary restrictions.

Broken Tart is hands down the best bakery in Oak Park. The Kale Salad scone is the best scone I’ve ever had in my life. The chocolate chip ricotta cake is to die for. The sweet scones (when they have them) have always been amazing. The biscuits are tasty as well – seasoned to perfection. Love the smoothies and espresso drinks too. The staff is friendly and welcoming, despite often having a line out the door! I would skip the rosemary scone if you go and definitely get the kale and/or sweet. I’ve gotten a couple mini cakes as well, one of which was unfortunately pretty dry (this one was a carrot cake – maybe just a one off miss, since BT has usually been so good), but the other was amazing (some kind of hazelnut chocolate I believe). The regular bakery items have never disappointed! Cakes are also aesthetically beautiful, which is always a plus.

My boyfriend and I came to oak park to stay for a week to visit chicago and matthiesen state park, we stayed for 5 days and tried broken tart on our first day and ended up eating here 4/5 days we stayed! We tried their savory kale croissant which was DELICIOUS, savory cheese and honey biscuit, again AMAZING, the sweet jam and cream biscuit, the sandwich they had and much more. Everything we tried was so good, the flavors all worked so well together!

If you’re in the area, you HAVE TO go!! This is such a great little shop; emphasis on little. It can get a little tight in there when busy, but it’s worth the wait! The outdoor seating is great when the weather is good. My husband and I usually order a couple of things to go, including coffee. We always get the savory & sweet biscuits and the kale salad scone, because, health. The staff is always so welcoming, especially in the morning, and they are always quick to serve up a great latte!

There’s a reason the line here is sometimes half a block long. The scones and banana bread are out of this world but the Olive oil cake is among the tastiest things I’ve had. Regardless of the time of day or how crowded they are the staff is friendly and incredibly efficient. I’ve never had to wait on my order for more than a couple of minutes. Fantastic neighborhood gem!

Cute cozy coffee shop! One of my favorite oak park spots. Lots of unique drink options, my favorite is the green clean smoothie (super refreshing), my friend really enjoys the espresso tonic! The baristas that work there are super lovely and have beautiful smiles. They are champions during the morning rushes. Pastries and desserts look so good like out of a magazine. I love the vegan chocolate banana muffin and if you decide to have more vegan pastries, I will buy them all. Thank you

OMG WOW! Amazing bakery! I go to tons of bakeries & I think this is the best one in Oak Park & one of the best in Chicagoland! I LOVED everything I tried from the cookies, to muffins to scones. Super high quality & extremely fresh products. Some of the pastries were still warm from the oven as I got there right at 8 am when they open. Even then, there was a little line out the door. Many people got coffee drinks but I didn’t this time. They also have $2 wonky cookies (just weirdly shaped cookies) that are a great deal. I tried: chocolate chip cookie, banana bread, vegan chocolate muffin (extra delish), goat cheese chili scone (excellent) & the wonky birthday cookie (amazing & buttery – melts in your mouth). Can’t wait to go back & try other things! Please note the place is tiny with only a few tables & chairs & there’s metered street parking so I took my order to go.
10.25.24 update: the kale salad done is truly amazing! The toasted coconut cake was sooo good and the chiffon cake was delightful. The savory corn biscuit was good but I preferred the scone, which is totally worth traveling for.

LOVE this place. Been a huge fan of the girls and their baked goods for some time. Everything that I’ve tasted has been phenomenal- currently obsessed with their savory biscuit and their sweet corn scone! Not only are their baked goods to die for but their custom cakes are hands down some of the best cake I’ve ever had. They were able to create my birthday cake for my 30th birthday and it was a knockout. I showed them a photo of something similar they did back in the day and they nailed it. My guests could not stop raving about it. Love that they are here in Oak Park!

We took cappuccinos and olive oil cake. It was delicious. It’s been a long time here in the area, didn’t drink a good cappuccino like this.
Good quality coffee beans.

Broken Tart is an absolutely cozy and chic spot. The pastries were some classics and some fun pairings of tastes. Friendly and quick service, plus the space is lovely inside. They have a patio for nicer days too.
