Located at 2010 Central St, Evanston, IL 60201, Tag's Bakery operates as a bakery serving Evanston in Illinois.

American bakeries range from wholesale operations that supply restaurants to neighborhood shops that sell bread, pastries, cookies and cakes over the counter, and many of them also pour coffee. Bagel shops boil and bake on site and sell out of favorite flavors by late morning; donut shops open before dawn and are often family-run; patisseries and cake studios take custom orders for weddings and birthdays and usually need one to two weeks' notice. Ice cream parlors, gelato shops and frozen yogurt bars are seasonal in the northern states and year-round in the South and on the West Coast. Prices are posted per item, by the dozen or by the pound, and most shops now take cards and mobile payment.
Hours are published for 6 days a week. On most of those days it is open 7:30 amβ3 pm. It is closed on Monday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (847) 328-1200. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is tagsbakery.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Traffic in Evanston peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then.

What is going on at Tags Bakery ??? It breaks my heart to write this because I have loved Tags for years !!! I have a big family and when Iβm in charge of the cake β itβs Tags !! I send my family florentines at Christmas !!! I donβt live near Tags ( Iβm at the Kennedy at Addison) but to me Birthdays and Holidays are special and nobody said Special like Tags The cakes were always delicious and the decorating was beautiful !!! β In July I ordered a cake to say βHappy Birthday Gramma β when my son came to pick it up it saidβ Happy Birthday Gran day ββ and the cake was terrible - it was chocolate cake with buttercream frosting but when you cut it the cake just crumbled β you couldnβt cut in it slices !!! Anyway hoping that was just a one time mess up I ordered my daughters birthday cake to say Happy Birthday Lilly in pastel colors with balloons and a small heart above the i in Lilly β I basically got an all white cake β that had the tiniest bit of pink and purple mixed in the white of the balloons β the writing was the same with no heart above the i in Lilly - the girl said βyou asked for pastels ! β This was not pastel !! She said they could fix it if I came back in an hourβ bu

Terrible experience with Tagβs, sadly. We ordered a gender reveal cake, but they put the reveal color on the outside of the cake and left the inside white, completely ruining the surprise. This was especially frustrating because, when I placed the order, the person on the phone even double-checked whether the person picking up the cake would already know the gender or whether they should make sure not to say anything. When we pointed out the mistake, the response was essentially, βThis is what the order slip says,β rather than acknowledging immediately that the cake had clearly been made incorrectly. We now have to wait for a new cake to be made, and they would not offer a refund or even a discount for the inconvenience. Very disappointing experience, and I would recommend going elsewhere.

Tags rules. Totally goofed on a cake order and called them within 24 hours and they were able to accommodate. They were fast, professional, kind and the cake was INSANE. Want to thank the amazing team at Tags again for making one helluva cake with such short notices

I have great memories of this place as a kid and love coming back here as an adult. Their smiley cookies are some of the best, if you love chocolate and yellow frosting. Their florentines are one of my dad's favorite and are rightly legendary. My only pet peeve is that their delicious pumpkin pie squares are only made available for an unnecessarily limited time frame during the fall season, not even all of fall, and the why of this is a mystery to me. There also aren't any good places to sit or meet up with people and enjoy your freshly purchased baked goods inside. That said, this is a long-running family-run institution on Central, and I wish them many years of success to come!

Not a Dresden Stollen We were told it is a Dresden Stollen, I got one for us and one for friends with roots in Europe. Turns out ... we were given 2 "Stollen", not the "Dresden Stollen" with marzipan core etc. Instead of $23.95 we paid $39.95. How could we see inside? And, the stollen is actually quite dry, takes a big coffee mug to wash that sand storm down. The only good feedback is ... the Florentines were excellent! My wife and I were offered one to sample, and we bought a few. I call that cheating. I don't like to hand out negative reviews, I like that we have a bakery in our neighborhood we can walk to in a few minutes. But that is more than a misshap.
