Ann's Bakery & Deli

There are very few Ukrainian products in California. My family and I miss some of the dishes. While in Chicago, I found a wonderful store in the Ukrainian Village. My trip turned into a gastronomic tour. Pastries, bread, cakes and pies. Sour cream cake with cherries, cheesecake, dumplings, stuffed cabbage rolls, sausages, meat. Everything was fresh, freshly prepared, and most importantly, delicious, just like at home. The staff was wonderful, they greeted me with a smile and answered all my questions. The store is clean and smells of fresh baked goods. I will definitely return to Chicago just to eat the honey cake.

I usually like to read reviews before going anywhere, to know what to expect. But this store contradicts almost every review here. This is by far the best Eastern European store in the Chicago area. The store itself is clean and they have a good selection of everything ranging from sweets to fresh produce to cooked meals! The staff are all absolutely amazing and incredibly kind to everyone. They helped me out more than once and take their time explaining and suggesting different items and dishes. The cooked dishes, both warm and salads, are delicious, fresh, and taste just like home! 100/10 recommend!!

Great Ukrainian store. You can buy different food here: buckwheat, dumplings, sour cream.

Best Ukrainian and European products. Great prices on everything, along with fresh and amazing bread. Try the Ukrainian butter, specifically in the red and gold color, and you’ll be amazed by the rich taste and soft texture. American butter is horrible compared to this. Also highly recommended you check out the tea selection and chocolates. From fancy chocolate to little bite sized ones they are all great.

Very disappointed with my experience at this Ukrainian store. The attitude from the staff was honestly horrible. No one smiles, and it feels like everyone is angry at you for no reason. Nobody seems willing to help. Instead of assisting customers, the cashiers just rush you and act like they don’t care at all. It’s upsetting to say this, especially as a fellow Ukrainian who drove all the way from Charlotte to visit. Unfortunately, the trip turned out to be a mistake. I really expected a warmer and more welcoming atmosphere.
