Markellos Baking Company

Markellos Baking Company is a second-generation, family-owned 24-hour bakery that’s been serving Chicago locals and visitors alike since 1982. We offer an impressive variety of delicious breads, pastries, and other confectioneries that are all baked fresh in-house daily. All of our recipes have been handed down for generations, and we are excited to share our family’s legacy with our city! We take pride in using only the highest quality ingredients at Markellos, and our all-natural ingredients are 100% preservative free. Every 20 minutes, a fresh batch of goodies comes out of the oven, so if there’s something you’re craving that you don’t see, just hang tight — it’s probably on the way. We also have an espresso machine for cappuccinos and we offer a free cup of coffee with any order. Whether you’re in the mood for an extra sweet churro or an everything bagel fresh from the oven, Markellos has something to satisfy every craving.

Established in 1982.
The business was started by our father Markellos Res in1982 from a little place on Rockwell and Lawrence. He started out as a Greek bakery and eventually branched out to all different types of bread and sweets known all over the world. He expanded the business in 1991 at the current location and continued to perfect his recipes which also included Gautamalan and Mexican breads and sweets. Markellos is now retired but can be found at this location still joking around with his customers and friends. Dec 23 will be 18 years for us at this location and we owe it all to our loyal customers who have been with us from the very beginning. We are continuing our father’s legacy and continue to perfect recipes daily and as always treat all our customers like family. We thank you all so very much and we look forward to serving you for the next 35 years……The Markellos family
