Annie • April 17, 2013My favorite Chicago bakery! Try red velvet or any specialty of the day cupcake. Delicious banana pudding and their frosting on cookies is to die for!

Matt D. • August 25, 2018Chocolate and passionfruit is one of life’s most underrated flavor combinations, and the Passionfruit Chocolate Hazelnut Caramel Tart at Lost Larson is proof of that. Absolutely outstanding.

Duane B. • 3 weeks agoGreat little bakery that you need to come to. Their Chai Slice Roll is a play on a Cinnabon bun which was great.
