Geraldine's

Super GemLincoln Square · Cafe/Bakery Community-sourced, unverified
📍 4743 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60625

Geraldine's is the coffee-and-pastry little sibling to Jerry's sandwich shop next door — same owners, a shared door between the two spaces in Lincoln Square's Giddings Plaza, and a running joke that both names start with "Jerry." A Cupcake Wars winner does the in-house scratch baking, and the two spots are built to be wandered between rather than treated as separate destinations.

The banana chocolate tahini muffins are an unexpected combination that works, and the cinnamon roll latte is the drink that ties the whole visit together.

Holds a 4.5-star rating on both Google and Tripadvisor, and there's a small front patio for warmer days.
