My husband's family are big fans of Weber's. It's been in Chicago for more than 75 years. It's one of the few old school bakeries around. It's easy to spot on Archer, right across the street from the Rainbow Motel (yes, this establishment is indeed painted pink). After viewing their site, they have Pink Palace Fantasy Suites. Oh my! God love the South side!
I arrived to Weber's at 11:30am. Major fail. They sold out of paczkis at 11:00am! In fact, they were sold out of many things. However, I snagged this GORG coffee cake with fresh strawberries.
They don't make bakeries like this anymore. Though I'm disappointed I didn't get any paczkis, I am still a happy camper. I love how they wrapped the coffee cake in a box with string. It's like a gift. Or precious cargo!
My next stop was Intelligentsia. If I was going to eat a piece of coffee cake from Weber's, I needed a coffee equally as fantastic, right? I love their vanilla lattes. I've never had coffee like this before. It feels like velvet in my mouth!
Despite my paczki fail, it was a good Fat Tuesday. Next year I'll remember the early bird always gets the worm.
