19 Best Bakeries near Antioch

“Sweet Discoveries of Antioch is an amazing bakery with an incredibly talented owner, and she has now been a part of two of the biggest moments in our lives.

A little over a year ago, she made the cake for our wedding, and absolutely knocked it out of the park. We had a pretty specific cake in mind. A rustic two-tier cake with layers of red velvet and chocolate, along with Oreo and cream cheese frostings. It was definitely more involved than your typical cake, but she brought exactly what we envisioned to life. It looked amazing and tasted even better. Her talent and attention to detail are honestly extraordinary.

Fast forward to now, and we came back to her for our gender reveal cake. We told her how much we had loved our wedding cake, but said she could keep this one simple and just make us a vanilla cake with the inside dyed for the gender reveal.

Instead, she completely surprised us.

She recreated the wedding cake we loved, with the same flavors and fillings, and simply dyed the cream cheese filling inside for the gender reveal. We weren’t expecting it at all, and it made the moment that much more special. Going from making the cake for our wedding to now making the cake where we found out the gender of our first child was such an awesome full-circle moment.

Beyond her incredible work, she’s always been wonderful to work with and her pricing is extremely reasonable, especially considering the quality, detail, and care she puts into what she makes.

We can’t recommend Sweet Discoveries of Antioch enough. She’s helped make two huge milestones in our lives a little more special, and we’ll absolutely be coming back for many more!“

“We visited today for the first time after driving by for many many years. I was pleasantly surprised. We had an affordable (not healthy) lunch that was so big we could have split. Had lots of delicious cheese and bakery samples. Purchased quite a few souvenirs too. It was a great experience and we’re so glad we finally stopped!!! The Mars Cheese Castle was worth the visit! We saw license plates from atleast 10 different states in the parking lot so I hope everyone had a great experience too!“

“Crumbl Cookie never disappoints! Every time I walk in, the store smells amazing and the staff is super friendly. Their cookies are always warm, soft, and full of flavor. I love that the menu changes every week because there’s always something new and exciting to try. The presentation is so cute, and the pink box makes it feel like a little treat every time.

My favorites so far are the chocolate chip and any of their seasonal flavors — they’re always perfectly baked and taste homemade. If you have a sweet tooth or just want to brighten your day, Crumbl is definitely the place to go! 🍪💗“

“Freaking excellent owners operating an awesome small business that will help you start the day off right!! Excellent fresh baked goods and donuts are amazing!! I never experienced the bakery with the old ownership-so I can’t speak to the history, but the bakery is a must-stop in the morning when passing through Fox Lake!“

“Hot delicious huge Cinnabon rolls!! Today we stopped by and enjoyed freshly baked Cinnabon's with raspberry lemonade. The store looks really nice and clean plus freshly remolded.All of the employees were very nice and friendly. Glad we stopped by!“

“I was waited on promptly, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I loved the variety of individual cake slices. I picked out my dad's favorite...a red velvet cake slice to celebrate his 82nd birthday. In addition, I chose the peanut butter and salted caramel cake slices for me and my husband. Thank you for the yummy dessert!“
