Ann's Bakery & Deli

This place is fantastic. Fresh bread. Excellent butter. Great deli meats. A nice selection of foods from Eastern Europe. You can't beat it.

I love finding European pastries, sausages, chocolates etc here. But the Ukrainian and Polish women who work here need to learn manners. They treat any customer that doesn't speak their language, condescendingly and angrily. It's not the customer's fault that you don't speak English and you have no desire to learn, or to provide customer service. I committed the crime of placing all my pastries in the same bag- the cashier girl angrily kept shoving another bag at me, gesturing with her head. I asked what she needed me to do; she couldn't speak English so she called another woman who also couldn't speak English. Fyi: in America we are nice to customers.

Ann's Bakery & Deli is a great place for Eastern European goods. If you're looking for authentic items you can find many here. Located in Ukrainian Village, so it caters mostly to the local residents. Has fresh baked doughnuts and a big selection in the deli section if you're looking for meats. There's also lots of candy, a ton. Get all kinds of authentic items from canned to fresh. It has a lot of European beers and liquors. There's more than just vodka. Check out the deli section where there's freshly made food. They have everything from borscht to packzi. A lot of canned items. Usually these have ingredients also listed in English but not always so know what you're getting before so you don't get something that's wrong. Mostly good prices and lots of good deals. They also have a huge amount of candy, and people like the cheesecake that gets baked fresh. Has a lot more than a typical bakery and deli. It can unfortunately have quite a few expired items so check dates on everything. The prices are good for most things.

nice little grocery shop with a lot of Eastern European bottled juices (i really liked the white cherry flavored one, with some white cherry inside) and other ethnic producethey have a deli counter at the back, the wedding sausage is amazing, just slice and eat!they also have a hot food stand, the pierogis are great too! also a pretty good bakery attached. you can definitely get all your needs in one go!

I read bunch of "unfriendly" to foreigners reviews! I am Russian/ Ukrainian and came in with my Venezuela finance, we spoke Spanish entire time and every staff member treated us well. I have no idea what these people are talking about , I think Americans are just used to ass kissing which is not customary I'm Ukraine or Russia Food and prices are great , we live in Florida where Russian/Ukrainian food is super expansive so y'all need to stop complaining and appreciate this Gem .

Great selection of international goods plus great bakery inside with great prices. The deli section is delectable & has an array of Ukrainian dishes.

This is an excellent ethnic (Ukrainian and Eastern European centric) deli, bakery and grocery. I am Lithuanian but feel right at home here. The staff is patient and will explain the foods. This and Racine Deli are my two go to ethnic delis in the city. In the burbs it's Kaufman's in Skokie.

On top of receiving a 17% Upside cash back offer plus an extra 15% boost, I visited Ann's Bakery & Deli after I saw a drank cherry cake that I just had to have as my post run snack. Part of me also wanted to support this bakery that I have spotted while driving along Chicago Ave off-and-on.Ann's Bakery & Deli does have a small space for parking, but I would not count on getting one of those spots. To my luck, I found an open spot along N Leavitt St & W Rice St within the neighborhood. I really adored the interaction I had with an older woman as I opened the door. At the time, she was leaving as I walked in, so I opened the door for her because her hands were full. She thanked me, and we ended up conversing about how looking at bakery & deli items can turn into purchasing extra things as she walked out. One priority I have is to make sure I wish those I converse with a great day before we part ways because you never know the impact it will have. It is the least I can do in this world where everyone tends to live in a bubble. The atmosphere is very relaxed at this bakery & deli which gives off a neighborhood corner store vibe. I must share that along with the items shelved being organized, the market was clean, but the aisles on the other hand had tight maneuvering space in-between. Ann's Bakery & Deli is a reason why I love a culturally diverse city like Chicago. While shopping, I took a liking to the variety of the Eastern European items specifically the variation of LOVARE tea flavors, the fresh produce, and of course the cakes in the bakery (cheesecake peach, cheesecake raspberry, bolero cake, and drank cherry cake). Yum!In spite of not having much interaction with the clerk behind the register, I never once felt unwelcome at any time while shopping here. I, for one, enjoyed shopping at Ann's Bakery & Deli, but a return for me depends on whatever offer Upside puts out involving grocery purchases.~Have courage. Be Kind. ~Thomas G

Been shopping here for over 25 years with no problems, except for recent. I purchased a apple cake- torte and while eating it found a piece of plastic, disgusting. I don't think will buy again. They really should be more careful.

I've been going to Ann's Bakery since 1980. I'm a Black American and I have always been treated with respect. The women behind the counter are always helpful. They don't always smile but that's a leftover from Soviet days.Their deli counter, hot food bar, and bakery are second to none. The prices are reasonable. I shop with them frequently.I love the fresh produce aisle. Everything is fresh.
