📍 2253 S Wentworth Ave, Chicago, IL 60616

Pui Yip Chiu and his wife Cora opened Chiu Quon Bakery in 1986 as Chinatown's first Chinese bakery, using recipes he'd brought over from Hong Kong, where he'd learned the trade -- it's still the neighborhood's oldest.

Cash only, no seating, grab-and-go — the red bean and peanut mochi are worth the slight inconvenience of figuring out the system.

Their children, Joyce and Matthew Chiu (sources differ on whether Joyce's husband William Chan is also involved day-to-day), now run it, turning out more than 100 handmade Hong Kong-style pastries and savory baked goods daily. Joyce has spoken about fearing that traditional baking methods could be lost once this generation retires, and Matthew has described a real responsibility to both staff and the community the bakery serves.

No seating, grab-and-go, cash only. Holds a 4.4-star rating across 1,044+ reviews.
