Crumb Crossing Bakery and Bistro, Niles

Handmade birthday cakes with personalized messages. Cake pops sprinkled with pink and red hearts. Ribbon-shape cookies in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness and Prevention Month. These are just a few of the made-from-scratch goodies at Crumb Crossing Bakery and Bistro. And thanks to a recent expansion, the bakery now serves up a full menu of breakfast and lunch.

Mornings begin with omelettes made from three farm-fresh eggs and chocolate chip or blueberry pancakes. Lunchtime brings the chicken ranch sandwich piled high with grilled chicken, veggies, and cheddar cheese and a soup and salad bar where guests create their own meals.
