A Humboldt Park mainstay predating even the classic Dinkel\u2019s and Lou Mitchell\u2019s of Chicago\u2019s dining scene a visit Roeser\u2019s Bakery was admittedly unplanned as we trekked back from Lou\u2019s towards Longman & Eagle\u2019s Sunday Donut Shop but in the end it was, in fact, the 1911 bakery that would prove the most memorable stop of the morning. Truly \u2018old-world\u2019 with a focus on cakes, cookies, and classic European tortes it was with great interest in the history of the space that we entered the small bakery and listening to the clerks tell the story of 100+ years in the business and a refusal to move even as the neighborhood shifted I couldn\u2019t help but feel for their nostalgia the end result an order of a half dozen +1 doughnuts plus a modernized slice of the my favorite Hungarian torte taken home to share with largely impressive results. Beginning first with the torte, a mere $4.50 for a large slice despite the substantial time it takes to make the cake, perhaps the biggest surprise was just how subtle the nutella came across beneath the chocolate and moving onward to the doughnuts this theme would persist; all but the sticky and artificial tasting Strawberry proving excellent, particularly the seasonal trio of pumpkin, sweet potato, and pecan crunch cake options with a supple crumb and just enough sweetness to accent yet never overwhelm the natural savory undertones.<\/p>\n
