Hi everyone!
This is a bit of a delayed post, but David and I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who came out last weekend to celebrate Fat Peach’s 2nd birthday! 🎂🎉
Obviously, it takes a lot of work to build a small business in Chicago, but the other—and arguably most important—part of that equation is YOU🫵🏼, our amazing community! We truly could go on and on about how grateful we are, but we’ll save some space for a pretty exciting announcement…
We’re opening a SECOND Fat Peach Bakery location in Hyde Park! 😱
We have a tentative opening date picked out, but there’s still a lot that needs to happen before we get there. We’ll share updates along the way whenever we have a moment to spare.
Thank you for supporting us, our team, and our passion for making fun pastries. We’re so excited for what’s ahead! ❤️

A little behind-the-scenes look from this past weekend 👀😭😂
On Friday, our main oven stopped working, so we packed up the essentials and moved production back to our old kitchen. Our team was incredibly flexible, and David spent the weekend making 1:30 am trips transporting proofed pastries between kitchens to keep things running.
Then on Saturday, a rack tipped over while unloading, and we lost nearly half of our production.
It was a stressful few days, but we’re so grateful for our awesome team and our customers, who were patient and understanding despite our limited stock.
I almost didn’t share these photos, but I figured it’s always a good reminder that not everything we see on Instagram is picture-perfect, and that’s okay.🙌

Hey everyone👋
Just wanted to clarify a few things from the story we posted yesterday.
We recently moved into a larger production kitchen space inside . We needed more room and more electrical capacity for our equipment. As you can see in the photos by , our previous kitchen was very small.
That said — we are NOT leaving 2907 S. Archer Ave!
We’ll still be baking fresh pastries Thursday - Sunday and serving everything at our Bridgeport shop, just like always.
We’ll be closed Thursday, May 21, while we get settled into the new production space, but we’ll be back Friday, May 22 for regular business hours.
Thank you all for the continued support! 🧡🍑🥐
