We finally went to Bennison’s! Finally.
We haven’t spent all that much time in Evanston. We tend to go in that direction only to pick up or drop off the kids. Our roaming around, exploring food options and such, tends to take place on our side of the Eden’s Expressway.
But, we’ve exhausted new quick take out breakfast options in Skokie so I broadened the net and decided it was time to visit the famous Bennison’s.
The little kids have been there and Liz wasn’t all that thrilled when I told her that’s where we were going but in the end, she was happy with her chocolate chip cookie.
TW and I were happier though – we had egg & cheese sandwich thingies (I took the bacon off mine but kept the ham) and those were very good. The red velvet donut was tasty, really tasty. More places should make those.
We brought home a custard cup for TW’s mom and she liked it very much.
The loaf of rye raisin bread was not my favorite but RJ and TW’s mom really liked it.
We bought some sort of apple bread. Yummy. Very yummy. A hit with everyone, I believe.
Added bonus, you can follow Bennison’s Bakery on Twitter. I love that.
