"Veteran bakery offering apfelstrudel, paczki & other European sweets, plus custom-decorated cakes."

Bennison's Bakery is an Evanston bakery operating since 1938, offering European-style pastries, custom-decorated cakes, and a full line of baked goods.

Founded by Larry Bennison in 1938, the bakery has been run by three generations of the Downer family; owner Jory Downer holds the rank of Certified Master Baker from the Retail Bakery Association and won the grand prize at the Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie in Paris in 2005. Located at 1000 Davis St. in Evanston, IL, with online ordering available for pickup. Reviewers highlight the paczki, croissants, custard morning buns, petit fours, and macarons, and note the bakery has served the North Shore since the 1930s with consistent quality.

This vendor hasn’t completed verification

Verified vendors have uploaded credentials such as a business license or proof of insurance, and our team reviewed each document by hand. Verification is a trust signal, not a requirement: you can still reach out, and payments run through Stripe either way.

Bennison's Bakery hasn't claimed their United Vows profile yet, but you can still reach them.

We don't have an email address on file for Bennison's Bakery, so we can't forward an inquiry to them. The way to reach them today is to call (847) 328-9434. You can still send one here — we'll keep it on your inquiries list, and it will be waiting for them the moment they claim this profile.

Two things worth knowing before you transact:

If your booking happens on United Vows: A $100 United Vows welcome or favor credit, if you hold one — this credit comes off one booking here, in full, funded from our commission on it, once that booking is a booking of $2,900 or more, paid to them in a single payment of at least $1,500 — you get messaging, quotes and contracts in one place, your payment runs securely through Stripe against a signed contract, and if the vendor no-shows, cancels close to your date or delivers nothing you can file a claim from the booking, which they have seven days to answer.
If the booking happens off-platform: none of the above. Your credits don't redeem. We can't help if anything goes sideways.

The simplest move: when you reach out, ask Bennison's Bakery to claim their profile. It's free and takes a few minutes. It keeps your booking on the platform where everything we built for you actually works.
