About Sunlight Cafe

Sunlight Cafe is an asian bakery in Chicago, Illinois. It is listed at 227 W Cermak Rd, Chicago, IL 60616, which places it among the local businesses of Chicago that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

Hours at these spots often run into the evening, later than a typical coffee shop, and many stay open on weekends when demand is highest in Chicago. Seasonal and limited-time drink or dessert flavors are common, so a shop's current menu can differ from what is posted online; checking recent photos or calling ahead helps. Some locations in Illinois are dessert-only with no seating, meant for takeout, while others have cafe-style seating for staying a while. Straws for bubble tea are typically wide to accommodate the toppings, and are provided automatically unless you ask for a regular one. Loyalty apps and stamp cards are common at chain locations, and ordering ahead through an app can shorten a wait considerably at busy locations during peak after-school and after-dinner hours.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 7:30 am–7 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (312) 674-1368. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.3 out of 5 from 87 reviews, which is a strong result for an asian bakery in Chicago and suggests consistent service.

Chicago is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. Traffic in Chicago peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then.

Was hoping for an authentic Hong Kong breakfast with milk tea, but was disappointed. If you speak Chinese you might be able to order easier, but don't expect English here. Cash only. While they have a few tables, they were dirty and the bakery display case was layered with grease. Our congee was not salted at all, didn't come with the stated milk tea on the menu. Overall a disappointment. Much better bakeries and restaurants nearby in Chinatown.

Family owned business! Although some language barrier, they are still kind and respectful to costumers. The milk teas are great and food is overall good. The buns are cheaply priced and super filling. This place is perfect for a cheap meal.

Cheap place good service however not No English, like at all. It’s like point and guess and maybe a word once in awhile someone’s speaks English They take credits cards but prefer Zelle or cash. If you’re confused start pointing to things and ask shrimp? Beef? Pork? They will catch on and tell you. Don’t eat the egg custards they are not not sure why cus I eat all their other deserts. Very friendly and very old school. But they make everything in house. You don’t have to agree with how they make things or their way of life this is what they know. A lot of ppl come to Chinatown and judge traditional ways, not saying it’s all perfect but they do the best they can .

I love going to this cafe it’s very cozy, I usually get their buns to go. But this time I decided to dine in, they gave me the wrong order (I ordered ham and egg noodles, but there was no ham, just pickled veggies + egg) I didn’t complain, it was okay.

Hole in wall bakery/cafe in Chinatown. Good old-fashioned Chinese comfort food. Portions are great for the price. Mostly older generations dine in, and younger crowds come for carryout.
