Please stop by and experience our exciting array of specialty food groceries and a charming café serving modern comfort food at 3552 N. Southport (just south of Addison). In the middle of the burgeoning shopping and dining destination that is the Southport Avenue corridor, Southport Grocery & Café captures the quality-focused, yet down-to-earth nature of its Lakeview neighbors. This same balance occurs in the café’s kitchen, with dishes that are at once modern and new, yet accessible and comforting.
My passion for food began at an early age.
“I still have my first cookbook from when I was 5 years old. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of sleepovers at my grandma’s house where we’d just hang out in the kitchen and bake.” So after over 10 years in Financial Services at CNA, I decided to follow my passion for food and enrolled in the Cooking & Hospitality Institute of Chicago (CHIC).”
“From the very beginning, even before cooking school, I had thought of starting my own food business. When I travel, I love digging around in fine food groceries just as much as I like dining at new restaurants. Southport Grocery and Café is a great blend of both of these interests – interests that I think many Chicagoans share.”
“I like doing things that aren’t already done, and this combination of fine food groceries and a café meets the needs of people who love to cook as well as those who just love to eat!”
While many specialty grocers have an international focus, Southport Grocery & Café fills an unusual niche by first concentrating on domestic foodstuffs.
“It’s such an interesting time in American food production. It’s very possible now to find high-quality specialty products and artisanally produced foodstuffs right here in the U.S.” And I admit that finding a passionate producer or artisan is almost as important as the product itself.”
“I really enjoy the hunt of finding things that are good AND domestic. The best part of that search is finding a company where the owners are just as excited about being found, as you are about to taste their product. That energy and momentum really carries through to our enthusiasm in the store.”
With focus on quality, it goes without saying that the café menu changes seasonally to reflect the best products available. Plus most menu items are available for carryout.
So whether you like to cook or just eat, I look forward to meeting you.

Owner/Chef

So what’s the big deal? It’s just a cupcake right? That’s like saying the Mona Lisa is just a painting by some Italian guy. Ok, maybe that’s a little extreme… but seriously, our Vanilla and Chocolate cupcakes are to die for. Come by the cafe and try them out! We’re also perfecting the best way to ship them anywhere in the US, while keeping them fresh and delicious for you. So stay tuned, because soon you’ll be able to order our cupcakes online.
Only the best –local European style butter, Nielsen Massey pure vanilla extract- made fresh daily by hand just the way your mother baked.
Our every-day size is muffin size. But sometimes smaller does the trick …so we have a 4-bite size perfect for weddings, cocktail parties and kid’s birthdays…we need 48 hour notice on the smaller size. The every-day size…come in any time. But if you want to be sure we have what you need (we do run out at times) or if you need more than a dozen please call in your order.
And decorations…small bottles of sprinkles are available for purchase as well as gel pens for you to decorate yourself. Not comfortable with this? For a small charge we can tint the buttercream and add sprinkles for you.
“Sometimes simplicity wins…the perfect balance of light, moist cake and sugary yet fluffy butercream”
Chicago Magazine
“A pick-me-up sugar rush”
In Style Magazine“Big enough to share but addictive enough that you won’t want to”

Without a doubt… the best cupcakes I’ve ever had.
June 1st, 2008 at 5:02 pm
I’m not much of a cake or cupcake eater really, so I was skeptical when told how amazing they were. But it was truly delicious and unlike any other dessert I’ve tasted. Now I want more!!
June 24th, 2008 at 11:24 am
I think of cupcakes as those things you take to grade school on your birthday to share with your classmates. Your cupcakes are definitely in a whole different category! Wow! Delicious!
July 2nd, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Unbelievable. Every time I eat one it feels like the first time. If they were healthy, I’m dead serious that I would eat these cupcakes for every meal. They are one of the best tasting pieces of food that has ever been placed in my mouth. I don’t know what Heaven is like, but these sure are close. Thank you to the Cupcake Gods who created this recipe.
July 11th, 2008 at 11:08 am
Don’t forget to try the chocolate cupcakes too! The classic vanilla ones are great, but being a fan of chocolate over vanilla, it is hard for me to be objective.
August 13th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Absolutely perfect! My sister introduced me to these and I forever owe her! We make trips throughout the year and pick up for each other, and we ordered for her baby shower in March. Everyone loved these cupcakes, and we put a few to the side for us
August 25th, 2008 at 8:04 am
I just wanted to thank you again for coordinating the cupcake order for Anthony and my wedding this past weekend.
Everyone raved about the cupcakes and how amazing they were!
