Louise T.'s Profile

Sweety Pies is probably the cutest little semi-hidden nook I've found in my weekly workday excursions around Skokie. It's family-owned and it's owners are well-known to be friendly and conversational to customers, who usually become regulars. The coffee is strong and tasty - it's Intelligentsia. And the baked goods are plenty sweet and often pretty to look at as well. Some of their more creative or unusual items include Margarita Cheesecake with pretzel crust, coconut shortbread cookies (which are teeny tiny!) and delectable molasses cookies.

Sweety Pies will also be moving soon to a spot next to the Village Inn Pizzeria. It looks like it will be a roomier setting, so I look forward to bringing more people from work to lounge in their cafe and partake of their sugary sweets and great coffee!
