Kristoffer's Cafe & Bakery

"Tres leches cake is all the rage at this place, and it lives up to the hype. Choose between vanilla, caramel, and coconut—doesn’t matter, all are excellent. Kristoffer’s is mainly a bakery, but you can also pick up coffee and a sweet snack from the short menu. We’re hoping they’ll re-open for dine-in soon: Kristoffer’s is perfect if you like cake and need to get some work done—there’s wifi and plenty of available outlets." - adrian kane, alyssa reyes, veda kilaru, john ringor

"You can read it over and over, review to review, but this sweet shop kills the tres leches cake thing even according to superchef Rick Bayless. You can get a little lunch here too. Maybe add a horchata while you're at it." - Faust

"Kristoffer’s Bakery is well-known throughout the city, with pastries showing up on dessert menus in all parts of the city. Stop in for eggy breakfast dishes like breakfast burritos and a coffee, but stay for the sweets. Taste possibly the best tres leches cake in the city." - Eater Staff

"A landmark in Pilsen, Kristoffer’s Cafe & Bakery has been serving coffee and Mexican desserts for years. Though the original owners have gone on to open a cafe in McKinley Park, the customers continue to flock for the bakery’s famous tres leches cakes. They’re a favorite among chefs, including Rick Bayless." - Ashok Selvam
