Every loaf tells a
story of patience

Handcrafted breads, curated groceries, and the kind of warmth that only comes from a community that shows up — every single day.

What We Offer

From our oven
to your table

Every item is selected or crafted with the same care you'd expect from a neighbor who takes pride in what they do.

Assortment of artisan sourdough and rustic bread loaves

Artisan Breads

Sourdough, ciabatta, focaccia, and seasonal varieties — all baked fresh daily using traditional methods and the finest local ingredients.

Fresh produce and pantry staples arranged on a market display

Fresh Groceries

A thoughtfully curated selection of pantry essentials, fresh produce, and specialty items — everything you need, nothing you don't.

An array of freshly baked pastries and sweet treats

Pastries & Sweets

From flaky croissants to seasonal tarts — our pastry case changes with the rhythm of the year, always something worth saving room for.

Local community market display with specialty goods

Community Specials

Rotating selections that celebrate what's in season and what our neighbors love — because a good market should always have something new.

Freshly poured coffee with baked goods on the side

Coffee & Beverages

A proper cup of coffee paired with fresh bread is a small ritual worth keeping. We take both seriously.

A beautifully decorated custom cake ready for celebration

Custom Orders

Birthdays, gatherings, or simply because you want something made just for you — we accept advance orders with care and attention.

Our Story

More than a store —
a place that stays

A+ Chi-Town sits on Payne Avenue as a quiet reminder that the best things in a neighborhood aren't flashy — they're consistent, honest, and made with real intention.

We bake because we believe bread should taste like bread. We stock our shelves because a good grocery store should make the ordinary parts of life feel a little more considered. And we stay open because this community deserves a place it can count on.

Whether you're picking up groceries on your way home or pulling up a chair for a coffee and a fresh roll, you're welcome here. That's not a tagline — it's just how we operate.
