50 Best Bakeries near Buffalo Grove

“I have never had a take my breath away experience until indulging in these cookies. I wanted to motorboat the apple pie featured last week lol. Truly a great oral experience. I kinda don’t want to share how great your cookies and keep it my secret lol.“

“I finally was in the area and managed to stop by and try this bakery out today. Having a nut allergy, safe bakeries are extremely hard to come by. The fact that this place is also delicious will have me back for sure. Nice employee, delicious treats, I definitely recommend.“

“The staff and management of this shop are exceptional. They're so kind and welcoming, and a great community partner. We are so grateful that they've joined our neighborhood, and our kids love going here. It's fun to bring my kids to Jamba Juice, a place I enjoyed going when I was a teen, too!“

“I visited on June 6th, and I have to say the customer service was 1000/1000! Chase and Vivian were absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in, they greeted me with so much excitement and positive energy. The overall experience was fantastic, and their kindness truly stood out. People like them are what make you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend!“

“Everyone keeps talking about the cakes but everyone has been missing out on the absolutely 5 star cookies! We were able to try these at work, thanks to the absolutely wonderful donation of their products to help share with the community on Friday’s and for this we are so grateful and want to wish you good luck because the taste is wonderful!“

“Love this bakery - plenty of cake options with fresh fruits and whipped cream, and freshly baked pastries. Good variety of bread options and handcrafted coffees (hot pistachio cloud latte is 💚).
One thing to note is that some of packaged items are imported from Korea. So, if you're looking for freshly items, either get look for those explicitly marked as freshly baked or ask the staff.

One recommendation to the owners: if opening time could be shifted earlier, it would be greatly appreciated! Typically coffee shops open at 7-ish because people try to get breakfast before work. Many days I have to be at work by 8:30, which makes it impossible to get to TLJ at 9AM if I have budget for coffee and I go elsewhere.“

Even though she was busy with an order I also saw her greet other customers as soon as they came in the door as well. The service was quick. The store was kept clean! Crave Cookie in Mount Prospect has become my kids and I favorite cookie store!! :)“

“Ok....so, fun fact...i love pastries....love em. And this place does not disappoint. It actually doesnt matter what you get here. Yeah, I said that. If you like sourdough bread, you should pre order one for the weekend. So good.
You can taste the care and dedication that they put into making everything. They're proud. And they should be.
The woman who helped me. She had a literal twinkle in her eye as she talked about her favorite pastry. You have bought yourself a lifelong customer.
Thank you.“

“The bakery / coffee shop is wonderful! It’s a very cute little shop with a few nice tables to sit down and have a coffee at. The employee / owner was very kind and provided great service! The coffee was delicious and the croissant was wonderful. We got a few of the different tiramisu flavor slices to go! I recommend this cute shop :)“

“Delicious fresh and ever changing menu“

“Stopped here for lunch. The establishment was clean and had a nice atmosphere. Great variety of things to choose from. The staff were friendly and quick. The ham and cheese croissant, pistachio spiral croissant, and iced hazelnut latte were very good. My only complaint would be that it is a little pricey but that wouldn’t stop me from eating there again or recommending to others.“

“Well ordered a half sheet tres leches cake for our family Christmas gathering. This was an amazing cake best we have had and great price for the size and quality. We will order again!!

“Awesome little bakery! I wanted to try a black forest cake - which I can't say for sure I'd ever tasted before - before possibly attempting to make one for myself. After some Googling, scrutinizing reviews, and learning that this place is located only ~20 minutes away from me, I set my sights and was not disappointed. I ordered the smallest one, which is plenty big for only me and proved to be delicious! I hope to return in due time to try the Gateaux au Chocolat. Also picked up a slice of cheese cake for my mom, who said that it was delicious and had a lemon tang.

While I'm glad that I went on a Sunday, the parking lot isn't _that_ small. Yes, there is a sushi place next door, and it probably fills up during peak service hours. But there's even more parking a stone's throw away. I've been to dine-in restaurants on the North side with less parking, lol.“

“Very nice restaurant and delicious food For the first time there i am very thankful to our server Dilnaz and specially the girl Sky who explained and recommended what should I try and make sure everything was OK Thank you Thank you“

“We went there for the first time yesterday. The staff is really helpful and friendly. I got the apple slice, oatmeal cranberry cookies and a raspberry kolaczki. The apple slice and the oatmeal cookies were some of the best I’ve had in a while. I haven’t gotten around to the kolaczki yet but I’m sure it’s delicious as well“
