Lend a Hand to Mickii's - A Rogers Park Bakery

Donation protected


Mickii's is a Chicago-born, Black woman-owned bakery business that has been a staple of the Rogers Park Glenwood Sunday Market since 2017. Best known for our peach cobbler, caramel cake, and cheesecake, Mickii has been delighting local taste buds enough to finally open a shop (Block Club Chicago).


Unfortunately, the location required significant repairs and encountered several City of Chicago red tape hiccups that not only delayed the opening from the bustling Chicago summer to late November, but also ate away most of the cushion we planned for going into this venture.

Coupled with the undeniable facts that a winter time opening means slower sales, the costs to open a business are dwarfing income. While we are just as ecstatic as our Rogers Park neighbors that our shop is finally open, we still need financial help to keep the doors open through winter and into the 2025 spring/summer market season.


Specifically, we need financing to complete payments for initial repair and outfitting costs, including contractors, rent, utility and insurance bills, as well as refrigeration, baking equipment, product inventory, packaging, and City of Chicago operation fees.


We love being able to be here and want to hang on for a long time, so we're asking for your help to reach our goal so we can erase debts and live this fantastic dream come true for a long time.
