Chicago, Il — The Cookie Bar

At the small but bustling shop, The Cookie Bar, nibblers don’t have to ask for a special GF menu because everything is gluten free. It's all prepared fresh daily and made from all-natural ingredients (their GMO-free chocolate is from Belgium!). Menu items include old-fashioned favorites like peanut butter cookies and cinnamon sugar donuts, along with inventive newbies like chili-mango macadamia cookies. Read more about their offerings in our story here.
