How
“Sweet” it is in Genoa
Those who have a sweet tooth and consider dessert worthy of being a meal in of itself, as well as those who just crave a little treat, do not have to travel to find a variety of sweet treats thanks to Genoa being the home of three unique bakeries.

Latsis Bakery
John Latsis, who has worked in restaurants since 2007, initially ran his Latsis Bakery out of his home in Sycamore before opening up his current storefront location at 401 W. Main St. in Genoa in the summer of 2015. While the Latsis Bakery menu features a variety of pastries, donuts, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, cheesecakes and pies, they also serve some breakfast items, including fresh, organic coffee, build your own egg sandwiches, biscuits and gravy as well as paninis and potato bowls during lunch. “When I first opened I was doing sandwiches and then that kind of faded but we’ve put the paninis back on the menu,” he said. “The diced potatoes are very popular. People like it when you put some new stuff on the menu.” Latsis Bakery is open six days a week. The doors open at 6 a.m. and close at 3 p.m. on Tuesday through Friday while they reopen at 7 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays and remain open until 1 p.m. Latsis also makes wedding cakes and other specialty items.
