Handsome Bakery & Cafe

What's better than coffee and a pastry after a rainy Monday? Nothing. One of the many stores inside of the Shops at Copley Center, you'll find a nice coffee shop inside. With not that many people inside the bakery, it's a great place to get some coffee and get work done. Most of the customers there were working diligently on their laptops during my time there which gave me plenty of time to go over the items they had on display. Once you grab a parchment paper lined tray, you walk around the different displays they have and choose what you like. Some of the items I saw were various croissants, castella, large cookies and Pain Au Chocolat to name a few. They have quite the variety of drinks and you can take a look at some of their creative drinks on Instagram (@handsomebakery). I went with an iced coffee with tapioca pearls on the bottom.Their house special coffee was good but it does come with cream and sugar; if you want something other than the standard, I'd inquire during your initial order. I remember the coffee-bubbles I've tried in Korea Town in NYC and they had pears in their coffee! I decided to try it again here and the employee behind the counter was great about it! If you come later in the day as I did, some of their items are sparse compared to I'm sure in the morning when everything is fresh. Since it's close to the apartment, I can't wait to make my next trip there to try their extensive menu. Check out more of my pictures and review on brownieeats.com.

Shave ice!!! The matcha one was a little less amazing but the mango and strawberry shave ices were soooooo good. Bring a friend to share since the portion is generous. And their baked goods.... well, we got a bunch to try but they didn’t last long enough for me to take the pix. Yes, that YUM!

I ordered a brewed coffee and a Hawaiian bread (I don't remember the exact name). I had high expectations for the bread to be more moist. My sister got the last cup of coffee, so they made me a new one. Mine was pretty good, but my sister said hers wasn't as good. Besides that, the cafe has a really pleasant and peaceful atmosphere, and unlike other cafes, they don't play headache-inducing music

This review is for bingsu only because I dislike their bread (strawberry mochi bread tastes like neither of those) and their cakes are overpriced and meh. Bingsu’s ice texture is on point (finally - a place that uses snow ice and not shaved ice) but unfortunately flavorless. But the syrup really helped and the mango pieces given was generous. Ice cream tastes great too. Portion is big enough for 2. For $14.50 it wasnt too bad.

Really cute and clean space, the chai latte was one of my favorite ones I've had from the area. I don't think there's anyway you could go wrong with their pastries! Very light and delicious. A pleasant experience with the staff there as well. Will for sure keep coming back.

Handsome Bakery is a great place to stop, relax and have a nice coffee drink with fresh baked goods. The cafe offers plenty of seating, is quiet and very clean. They offer sugar free drinks along with boba tea’s as well. The hot coffee latte’s we ordered were fresh brewed and made perfectly by Min. Min was so friendly and really made our drinks perfect. The sweets of cream cheese mini muffins and healthy grain & seed cookie that we picked to go with our coffee were also very good. Easy parking next to Yu’s Restaurant with plenty variety of sweets, savories, decorated cakes and beverages. Thanks Min for a great experience!

What an absolute treat The Handsome Bakery & Cafe is! This Korean bakery with a delightful French twist is a must-visit for anyone who loves unique, high-quality baked goods. I stopped by recently and was blown away by the incredible flavors and textures they offer. The highlight of my visit? The mochi mochi cream cheese pastry! It was soft, chewy, and perfectly balanced with a rich, creamy filling—absolutely wonderful. It’s the kind of pastry that makes you savor every bite and want to come back for more. I also tried their chai tea latte, which was just as impressive. The flavors were perfectly spiced and warming, making it a fantastic pairing with the pastry. You can tell every detail, from the baking to the drinks, is crafted with so much care and attention. The combination of Korean-inspired creations with a French flair makes this bakery so special. Whether you're looking for a cozy spot to relax or just craving something extraordinary, this place is a hidden gem in Schaumburg. I’m already planning my next visit to try more of their menu! Don’t miss this place—you’ll love it!
