Beth's Little Bake Shop

They have delicious quiches here. I hope they reopen.

You haven’t tried a French Macaron until you’ve tried a Beth’s Little Bake Shop Macaron. They are beyond compare. I’m saying this after just returning from a trip to France! These macarons have unique flavors, are always incredibly fresh, they’re huge, rich, melt in your mouth and they’re beautiful to display. I buy them for every occasion, “thank you, welcome home, congratulations, cheer up, happy birthday, etc” They are surprisingly delicious. UPDATE: So sorry to share. They closed!!!!

Beth's little bake shop was one of the best. She will be missed. Good luck on your next ventures Beth!! ❤️❤️

UPDATE: They abruptly and permanently closed on July 1. Not sure what happened. Amazing little patisserie with high quality sweet treats. The cream puffs are to die for. If you need a pick me up or a beautiful dessert for a dinner party, this is the go to!

I still don’t understand why they are opened for such a short time. A pure bakery classic in the central street Evanston.

The thing that blows me away about Beth's Little Bake Shop is their amazing staff. While waiting in line this morning, the individual at the counter knew everyone's name and order. There were two people who came in and they didn't even have to say what they wanted; the barista saw them and started making their coffees as soon as they walked in. To me, that's the sign of a wonderful establishment- not only do they have regulars, but they've taken the time to build relationships with those regulars! On top of having an amazing staff, they also have amazing food. I've gotten the macarons several times, and they are out of this world! I didn't get the hype about macarons before I had macarons from Beth's Little Bake Shop. They have so many fun flavors while still stocking the classics, and their fillings are sweet without making you feel like you need to immediately schedule an appointment with your dentist. My favorite is the creme brulee- they somehow get that perfect taste of toasty, crunchy sugar into a smooth frosting between the most delicate cookies ever. My boyfriend, who has a much smaller sweet tooth than I do, loves the chocolate peanut butter, the raspberry, and the lemon.

Wish I could leave no stars. A friend recommended this place and I would love to support a “woman owned business” but *attempting to* work with Beth’s Little Bake Shop staff was one of the most unpleasant, unprofessional and stressful occurrences. Staff are very rude, unreasonably defensive, untimely with no remorse, and TERRIBLE communicators. I felt uncomfortable interacting with them and will advise my networks, especially BIPOC to STAY AWAY from Beth’s Little “Bake Shop”

I absolutely love coming to Beth's. Everything is always delicious and everyone is so friendly. The Monkey Danish is my absolute favorite and my husband can't get enough of the ham and cheese croissants.
