10 Best Bakeries in Arlington Heights

“This is the best Japanese bakery around. I have been coming here for years. The bread is so delicious you can eat it by itself and it is also the perfect bread for sandwiches and even French Toast. They have a wide variety of delicious pastries as well. I highly recommend Crescent Bakery. You will not be disappointed.“

“We tried two slices of cake and two pastries. The cakes were absolutely amazing — so light, fluffy, and delicious! We’ll definitely be coming back for more and can’t wait to try other flavors. The pastries looked beautiful, but we weren’t big fans of the filling — it had a pudding-like texture that just wasn’t to our taste. Still, that’s a personal preference, so I’m not taking off any stars for it!“

“I just want to give a shoutout to Arlington Heights IL Crumbl. On a day they were slammed due to Dubai week—they prepped my order an hour early, so I could make it to the hospital, to see my dad, in time for visiting hours. Young lady at the front, Tuesday the 19th, was fantastic. Thank you.
Tip well—especially on a week like this“

“Probably the best slice of matcha green tea cake I've had, it was delightful. We also ordered a tiramisu cake, which was very decadent and rich (much better than what we had at Tous Les Jours) and a slice of Kahlua. However, they hardly had anything on display that early Saturday afternoon, it's best to order in advance to avoid waiting for them to prepare. Just wished they had more cakes on display. The staff is friendly and courteous. I would highly recommend it.“

“Sweet T's made an extraordinary cake for my daughter's baby shower. Not only was it adorable but everyone loved the amazing cake itself.“

“Great place!! Definitely will recommend to everyone!!“

“Everything/one was professional. Cake tasted great and looked EXACTLY as the pic in book. They don't see making money 1st, but The happines of customers! Had a bible cake for dtr's christening before“

“Fausto’s always has amazing food! Had dinner with family there tonight! Everything was fantastic! The food is homemade and is delicious!“

“We were at the Bakester today and they were understaffed. Iliya was there working as hard as he could and was doing a great job. Through no fault of his own and under great pressure, he tried to get the job done to keep the restaurant moving. The food was great.“

“I came here to pick up some slices of the crepe cake for a special family occasion. 5 slices cost nearly $70 !!

The cakes themselves were delicious. I have had them before in Texas, homemade, and these tasted very similar.

We tried the following flavors:

Signature Mille Crepe- it’s like a vanilla flavor- 20 crepe layers ($11)

Dubai Chocolate Mille Crepe- chocolate and pistachio pastry creams with a knafeh inspired topping of kataifi, pistachio and tahini ($15)

Peach Melba Mille Crepe- Raspberry cream, vanilla milk cream, peaches, with a raspberry glaze ($11)

Guava Mille Crepe- guava infused cream cheese pastry creams, strawberry sponge cake, with a guava glaze ($11)

Pistachio Mille Crepe- 20 layers of crepe with whipped pistachio pastry cream and crushed pistachios. ($11)

All were outstanding. Everyone had different favorites.

The price is so high that this couldn’t be a regular treat. But the quality was high as well. At this price point, I might have to learn to make these crepe cakes. Apparently these are made in New York, frozen, and then driven to Chicago. The slices we bought were several days old. But they still tasted great. Highly recommend for a special, expensive treat.“
