📍 3612 W Wrightwood Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Sugar Moon Bakery runs three days a week out of a small Logan Square storefront, and the line tells you everything: regulars start forming it before the 8-9am opening on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with 30-plus people waiting by 8:50 for a bakery that has no seating at all — everyone eats straight out of the box, standing on the sidewalk.

An Italian beef galette and a permanent tahini chocolate chip cookie from a bakery run by a Face Off (SyFy) prosthetics-competition winner — no seating, eat straight from the box, line forms before 9am Fri-Sun.

Owner Dina Cimarusti isn't a traditionally-trained pastry chef by background; she's a cake decorator and special-effects makeup artist who won Season 7 of SyFy's Face Off in 2014 before turning that same obsessive, detail-oriented skill set toward baking. The menu rotates hard week to week — curried cauliflower croissants, nutella-pear brioche buns, jalapeno-cheddar-corn scones, pizza focaccia — but a couple of items have earned permanent status by popular demand: an Italian beef galette that turns a Chicago sandwich into pastry form, and a tahini chocolate chip cookie good enough to anchor the case on its own.

It's the kind of bakery where showing up late means the case is already empty, and that's treated as a feature of the place rather than a flaw.
