“This the cleanest and busiest Cinnabon I’ve ever been to. Friendly staff and very attentive. I am so happy that I now have a local Cinnabon. This is a one-stop shop offers Jamba Juice, Cinnabon, and Auntie Anne’s pretzels.My favorite spot for my delicious cravings!“

“This place is a gem! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how kind and knowledgeable the staff was. The girl who helped me was so sweet, super patient, and explained everything perfectly. You can really tell they care about the customer experience and make sure you feel comfortable and taken care of. Now let’s talk about the lemonades—WOW. Infused and delicious, it was honestly one of the best lemonades I’ve ever had. And the baked goods? Incredible. Soft, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. Everything I tried was amazing, and I can’t wait to go back and try more. I seriously love, love, love this place. The staff, the products, the vibe—Blazed Bakery is on point. Thank you for such an awesome experience!“

“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.“

“Best sourdough in Illinois! Great service and a comfortable environment.“

They have a great selection of cakes, breads, and drinks, and everything looks beautiful and tastes amazing. The café is clean, cozy, and very welcoming. The staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely a great place to stop by for coffee, a treat, or to pick up something delicious to take home. Highly recommend!“

“A huge THANK YOU to Central Continental Bakery for creating the most beautiful, delicious cake for my daughters baby shower. I cannot tell you how many guests asked me where it was from.

Thank you for making our special day even that much more beautiful!“

“Very nice, very friendly store with a great selection of bundt cakes in various sizes. Go and enjoy, you deserve it...“

“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 picked up a Piña Colada rum cake today and it was absolutely delicious. I took it to a family gathering and it was a hit! Nana was super sweet! I own a small cake and cupcake business and I shared this place on my own business page. Was way to delicious and had to tell everyone we know!“

I would give her 10/10 rating and will most definitely recommend touch of sweets to anyone who's looking for a baker for their wedding. Thank you to her for making not only a beautiful cake, but making it so delicious.“

“Amazing! Beat around!!!!“

“I am only getting my cupcakes/cakes from Sweet C’s. Love the online availability through her website.

I ordered through Sweet C’s website for a birthday and I was behind on ordering due to my kids being sick. Celia was extremely kind despite it being a last minute order that was 100% my fault.

She had 2 dozen cupcakes for me and they were delicious. Everyone loved them - from the adults to the kids at the party. I always order extra cupcakes to bring home in case I can’t sit down at the party and enjoy a cupcake. I only have 2 left over and now have to share with the kids?! Not happy. Next time I’m giving myself a 6 cupcake buffer instead of 4.

Very easy to communicate with, is on time for pick up the cupcakes and you can still upload a design like she had in store. 10/10 recommend. We went with chocolate cupcakes and a vanilla buttercream. The cupcake will so soft and the buttercream was perfectly fluffy and just the right amount of sweetness. Very well balanced cupcake.

The customer service and the cupcakes were both outstanding. Placing my cupcake order for my birthday today with a 1/2 dozen cookie kit for Halloween.

Dietary restrictions: Able to have some accommodations for dietary restrictions but like many bakeries, cross contamination can happen. She has an info section on this on her website.

Kid-friendliness: She was amazing with my youngest who attempted to place a birthday cake order for June of 2025.“

“My fave cakeshop ever! I love their We always come here for sponge cakes, no matter the occasion. I’m super picky with cakes, but these ones completely win me over—it’s not just how pretty they look, it’s the taste and texture too.
