Kristoffer's Cafe & Bakery

We could tell you the tres leches cake is moist, rich and milky. But it’s enough to say that Rick Bayless name-checked it as his favorite, and it’s the best (if not the only) reason to visit this dim, quiet Pilsen café. Pair a slice of the caramel version with a cup of Intelligentsia coffee for a one-two sugar-caffeine punch.
