Doughs Guys Bakery Coming Soon to Oak Lawn Library

OAK LAWN, IL -- Oak Lawn library patrons will be able to satisfy their sweet tooth with the arrival of a new local bakery that will be offering fresh baked products made from scratch. Palos Heights-based Doughs Guys Bakery plans to open a satellite location at the library on Nov. 1.

Doughs Guys, which portends to remove more buns from the oven than the maternity ward at Christ Hospital, has cultivated a loyal following of “Dough Heads” from surrounding communities. The local bakers and cake decorators pride themselves on not being another cookie-cutter, corporate bakery. All of the products are made fresh daily, using the bakery’s own secret recipes.

The Palos Heights flagship store at 12248 S. Harlem Ave. is a full service bakery, offering custom-made cakes, including wedding, gift baskets, fresh baked bread and more. Doughs Guys also operates satellites in the Orland Park, Oak Forest and Palos Park train stations. The Oak Lawn Library cafe, which has gone through many incarnations, is likely to benefit from Doughs Guys successful train station business model.

The bakers are still finalizing their menu for the library’s menu, which includes specialty doughnuts, sweet rolls, sticky buns, cookies, eclairs, cannoli’s and Doughs Guys’ famous maple-bacon long johns, to name a few.

Drinks include coffee (regular and decaf), tea, hot chocolate. A variety of espresso type drinks will also be offered after the opening. Prices will range from $1.25 to $3.50 each. The menu may evolve into soup, chili or sandwiches after cafe is open for a few months.

Doughs Guys will be located on the first floor of the library, just off the main entrance at 9427 S. Raymond Ave.
