Baked by Jane sits in the Gladstone Park pocket of Jefferson Park, opened by a lifelong resident who left a career with the Chicago Park District to bake full-time. The recipes in house draw from family cooking and from Chipcago Cookies, the brand she'd been baking under before opening the storefront, built around locally sourced ingredients.
The space is designed to be cozy — plants, warm light, a back room available to rent for events — meant for a quick coffee, a sit-down breakfast, or a family outing. Regulars have made it a habit, returning often for the baked goods and breakfast plates, and the spot has built a reputation as a welcoming, family-friendly stop in the neighborhood.
