BitterSweet is a women-owned business serving baked goods, small plates, and custom drinks in an intimate and welcoming setting. Park Ridge natives Jamie Kendall and Meghan O'Neill plan to convert the former Chic Couture space at 139 N. Northwest Highway into a fun (and delicious) community gathering place. While the concept may be new to the area, we believe it would greatly add to the Uptown Business District landscape. We also believe a show of support would help us receive a license which falls in line with Park Ridge community values. If you agree, please sign and share with others.
UPDATE: We encourage Park Ridge residents to contact their aldermen via email should you wish to show support but cannot attend our upcoming meetings at City Hall.
UPCOMING MEETINGS:
- Liquor Board meeting on Monday, May 6th at 6:30 PM
- (TENTATIVE) City Council meeting on Monday, May 20th at 7:00 PM

I think this is exactly a type of establishment Park Ridge needs. New concepts are and should be welcomed!
This is a wonderful business idea that will enhance Park Ridge greatly. It is sad that this concept is being blocked by local officials. So many will enjoy this establishment!
This is a thoughtful, solid business concept that would be a welcome addition to the Park Ridge community. With intelligent, creative, and kind people like Jamie and Meghan leading this endeavor it will be a warm, welcoming environment to gather and connect. I am eagerly awaiting a grand opening!
As a former bartender in Uptown Park Ridge, I KNOW this would be a wonderful addition to the community! Please support these hardworking, kind women in following through with their dream to bring a fabulous social gathering spot for all to Park Ridge!
This would be an AMAZING addition to the Park Ridge community. I love the concept of small plates, baked goods and custom drinks. Sweets for the kids and drinks for the adults, why would anyone say no to that?
Absolutely love these ladies Class and respect to the neighborhood I support and would patronize their establishment
Community will benefit from it.

This is a business that makes me want to travel home to Park Ridge--specifically to relax, connect with friends and enjoy Bittersweet, but also to make a day of it and shop, eat, and enjoy other local businesses as well. This concept is unique, fun, and incredibly appealing. I can't wait for it to open, and for a chance to visit!
