She'd lost her grandmother's family baking recipes when her grandmother passed, and set out to build the Southern-rooted bakery she felt Chicago's Black community didn't have — a 2019 James Beard Foundation Outstanding Baker semifinalist since. A second location operated at Navy Pier but has since permanently closed (per the bakery's own Facebook announcement) -- this Chatham storefront on 75th Street is the only location today.

It's pickup/takeout focused, not a sit-down cafe, with generous portions frequently noted and a 4.4-star rating across 2,160+ reviews.
