“A cute lovely welcoming atmosphere a very friendly mum and daughter partnership. I am very fortunate to have this bakery on my doorstep. Fabulous bonus that I am able to enjoy delicious cakes, cookies all dairy, nut and egg free. If you have not tried any of their products you should stop by. You will not be disappointed.“
“The employees were very nice. I went with my special needs daughter and with her classmates and they had a very nice time. They learned how chocolate is made and where it comes from. The cashier took her time to let the students count their money to pay for their items. Very good chocolates and candy at a fair price. Thank you for a very nice time.“
“Foodwise, is truly a wonderful story, somebody in the kitchen knows what to do and that translates all the way to our braines stirring waves of good sensations.Their turkish culture habits, the hours limitation for certain types of food, do not always overlap with other's schedule or expectations. The staff is very polite and forthcoming but that's so much they can do.The atmosphere is a bit bizzare, the music for example, is not in tune with the specific, the way that the tables are set, suggests rather a train fare than a regular restaurant.Their sweets shop however, is there to take away all possible clouds and make your day.Parking: Plenty of parking“
“Best Bakery ever. Their products are delicious and made with care and a lot of know-how. They use locally sourced wonderful flour (I use the same at home). Staff is wonderful as well. I visit them from out of state on a regular basis because they are better than anything I have found anywhere else.Even though fresh is the best, I can also freeze a loaf and it is still great after being defrosted.Their croissants are out of this world.“
“Me, my fiancé and our friend came here to check it out on a rainy day and super glad we did! The three workers who helped us were super chill and made it a very comfortable experience. We all got different infused lemonades that were super tasty! We will definitely be back to try their other flavors and pastries. If you have been considering coming in, it’s definitely worth it :)“
“This is my second order from the website. Last year, for Easter, I brought a plate of cannoli and so did someone else. This year, I switched to a cannoli cake. Wow, what a reaction. Gotta bring it again next year. By demand. It also started an argument over their mother's cheesecake. Go figure in a house with Italians. Everyone should be so lucky to have a Tony Cannoli in their town. Love the cannoli, the shakes, and now the cake. Service is great. Cake was ready for pick-up when I arrived. Had a small container of cannoli topping. Looked really busy in back getting orders ready for Easter.“
“These politics out these dangerous times in the world. We need unity not division in this day and age. People should enjoy donuts and coffee in a non political environment. I suggest that the owner of this establishment should tell the person who put up several Israeli flags to remove them. The donuts were excellent and the customer service was great. I do not feel comfortable going back to this establishment who obviously promotes and supports a political agenda. Let's stick with good food and great customer service this is a winning mix.“
“Being gluten free and dairy free has made life challenging, but not since finding Holcomb Hollow! I've been a loyal customer since finding them at Green Joe's in Schaumburg. I'v also bought them at Pure Juice Cafe in Arlington Heights. With my wacky commute, I've also been able to find them at Brewpoint Coffee in Elmhurst as well as Conscious Cup in Palatine. We love their muffins, cookies, and donuts so so much. They are tasty and never give us a problem with our special dietary restrictions. They also are at the Mundelein Farmer's Market and offer seasonal special sales from their wholesale baking location in Mundelein. I follow them on Instagram where they advertise their latest products or new flavors. I also keep tabs on which businesses stock them on their IG page because it feels like the list keeps growing! IG is where they announce their random seasonal specials too. Devoted fan right here!“
“The cookies are DELICIOUS! The company tries to switch up the flavors weekly and always does a great job deciding on new flavors. The cookies are very large too, and we split one between 3 people. They are approximately $6 per cookie, so a little expensive but worth it. I highly recommend trying this place! (Pictured is the Tres Leches Cookie)“
“Ordered 72 bundt cakes for a wedding reception and it was the hottest item on the dessert bar. The order process was smooth and thorough. The staff was very pleasant. The owners take great pride in customer service and it shows. Looking forward to ordering for our next event. Thanks again to Neil for everything!!!“
“Had lunch in...chicken parmesan was dry, not enough sauce, chicken tasted old, didn't like. Would have liked ice water at table rather than having to purchase $2 bottles of water. Bread was excellent. Paid and tipped, but no table service, so not sure why.Cannolis that we took to-go for a birthday were fantastic. Rosemary focaccia to-go, also great.“
“Everything I have ever purchased from here has exceeded my expectations and when I bring donuts to work, everyone raves how good they are. Other than sub par chain donut places in the city, there are almost none that I know of in the NW side of Chicago that are as good as Deerfield's. I do not mind the drive bc I know Im getting the best donuts.“
“I stopped by for the first time last week while I was in the area and was absolutely thrilled with what I found! This place is amazing, both in terms of food and service! Such a small spot with so much to choose from. We ordered a khachapuri hot from the oven, some pkhali, eggplant walnut rolls- all delicious! There’s also a frozen section with khinkali dumplings and khachapuri to take home. Not to mention the Georgian wines, spices, and sauces available for purchase. I even found my favorite tarragon lemonade there! I can’t say enough good things about this little gem of a shop. I’ll be back!“
“Not gonna lie, I ended up here because my husband and I needed a quick snack, and I tried to go to Choo Choo down the street, but they were packed. When I walked in, there was a long line, and that seemed promising, plus it was moving quickly. We wanted something savory, so we ordered a ham and cheese croissant, a goat cheese and pesto croissant, and a spinach quiche. They warmed up the pastries and brought them out to our table pretty quickly. I was surprised the pastries were so good. The croissants were so flakey and delightful. The spinach quiche had a lovely crust. I completely forgot to take pictures because I was in a rush and starving, but I also saw a security sign that said no camera allowed. I wish they had more savory pastry options with meat, but the ham and cheese croissant was all they had when I visited. I did see that they had sandwiches that could be ordered, so I might try that if I am ever in the area again.“
“And absolutely amazing place far surpasses any fast food, you can get, including Panera and subway, fresh cut deli meats made to order massive ham and cheese sandwich for less than six dollars lots of sides dinners you can take home my highest “
“This review is brought to you by the letter F! F: resh mochi, rice flour based donuts every time! Rotating flavors to suit every palate. F: amily friendly menu, with Korean hot dogs, donuts, bubble tea, and coffee drinks. F: ind it at the northeast corner of the Milwaukee/Golf intersection next to Fannie May.“
“We had the BEST time at Punky Cake yesterday. My daughters and I took the cake decorating class and had so much fun and learned so much from Ashely! Ashley has such an amazing energy and taught us all the steps and techniques needed to make a double layer 8” rainbow cake! The experience was so fun we can’t wait to go back for another class! We were able enjoy eating the cake with our family and we are pretty picky about cakes and we ALL raved about the flavor and how it wasn’t too sweet and heavy. The flavor was a perfect balance of flavors. We were all very impressed!! Thank you Ashley and Punky Cakes you’ll be seeing us again very soon!“
“i got there right before 2pm on a saturday and there was barely anything left!! was dying to try one of those sandos but what i did get was delicious. mos def home made...sweet, SWEET japanese lady behind counter, and i am all about supporting small local businesses! RUN AS SOON AS THEY OPEN AND BRING CASH!!“
“I worked with Dorel when liquidating restaurant equipment. He was knowledgeable, professional and enjoyable at every turn! He even tracked me down after over two years to pay me for a transaction that we had only verbally agree to. This demonstrates great integrity and honesty. I would recommend Champion to anyone!“
“Wonderful owners. They’re always so sweet and kind. They make wonderful cakes and pastries. We took a chance on this place for a birthday party and after trying some samples with the owner, our expectations were admittedly high because the samples were so good. They exceeded our expectations. The cake looked so cute and amazing and tasted even better. Will definitely be coming back here for all birthdays and special occasions!“
“Best cakes and soups I have ever had! Everything is made fresh and tastes delicious! John and Nana are friendly and work hard to cook wonderful soups and treats. I have brought cakes to work and parties and they are always tasty and fresh. Even the gluten free foods melt in your mouth. Give them a try you'll be happy you did!“
“My wife and I were very impressed with this restaurant, it was our first time dinning here, this is an authentic French restaurant. Let me start by saying the customer service is top notch. Our server Miguel was very knowledgeable with the menu and all the staff were very friendly. Our food did not disappoint, it’s was so delicious and I would say one of the best restaurants in town. From the salad, appetizer to the main entrees and dessert, everything was perfect. I would highly recommend Taste of Paris.“
“Great little store. Very friendly person behind the counter. I placed an order in the morning and received a call shortly after to let me know their Saturday hours and exactly when my order would be ready. Loved the DIY Christmas Cookies and our dogs loved the K-9 cookies as well.“
“This place is such a hidden gem that I don’t want to share it with anyone, but I will because this place is truly so special you need to experience it to see.The Bakester is a beautiful cafe with a lovely European feel inside. I place my order at the front register with the owner or other staff. Her cafe latte is the perfect combination of milk and espresso. I also like her teas! I always order a quiche, if there are any left when I show up. My go-to is the spinach and cheese. The mushroom and Swiss is absolutely delicious and that’s is my favorite! I also get one of her fluffy, buttery croissants.If you dine in, like me, they will bring your order out to you in tea cups and coffee cups with saucers. The food is beautifully plated and service is great.I’ve never had anything bad at The Bakester and don’t ever think I will. I’m looking forward to doing high tea one day when finger sandwiches and works!Parking: Free parking on the street and there’s a lot nearby too“
“Continental Bakery has been a family favorite since forever. My parents bought cakes and sweets for special occasians, now I'm buying cakes and sweets for my kids and new family special occasians. They always suprise me with their wonderful cakes. I let them be creative and they never disappoint. The best!!“
“I've visited this place a couple of times now, and it's become a favorite spot close to my house! The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. I particularly enjoyed the almond croissant--it was delicious! The beet revival was also refreshing and a unique twist. The staff provided excellent service, making the experience even more enjoyable.“
“Best pastries around!! My favs are the onion roll and the chocolate cream ones. We also always get the crustless bread. I've even gotten my daughter into loving the turtles. We also get the bun with the hot dog inside and a few others. I will say it does get crowded but it's goes relatively fast. And there are trays with tongs to grab the pastries yourself. The staff are super friendly and helpful and inside is cute with cute decor. Also get the tiramsu! Def would recommend to anybody and will always keep coming myself.“
“The bakery goods are amazing! So fresh & delicious! The Owner is such a wonderful Lady - friendly, personable, & makes the experience fantastic! From the moment you walk in, the delicious smells & warm atmosphere surrounds you! Thank you so much for bringing your family recipes to us! Everything is delicious!!“

“Title: A Delightful Experience at Amante BakeryI recently had the pleasure of visiting Amante Bakery and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment I stepped into the bakery, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The smell of freshly baked goods filled the air, instantly making my mouth water.The star of the show was undoubtedly their Miodovnik cake. It was a true masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Every bite was an adventure of rich honey, aromatic spices, and layers of moist cake. It was obvious that a lot of care and craftsmanship went into creating this delectable treat.What made the experience even more enjoyable was the owner's Daniela dedication to customer satisfaction. They truly made me feel welcome and valued as a customer. Their attentiveness and willingness to answer my questions and provide recommendations was a testament to their passion for their craft.Overall, my visit to Amante Bakery was a memorable one. Not only did I have the opportunity to indulge in their incredible Miodovnik cake, but I also experienced a level of service that went above and beyond. I highly recommend this bakery to anyone seeking a truly exceptional bakery experience. I will definitely be returning to Amante Bakery for more of their delightful creations. Customer from Children's Land“
“There’s no doubt that this is the best ice cream shop in the greater Chicagoland area, however the staff is what makes the experience much more worth it each time we come. We came in a few nights ago and were helped by the lovely manager Zelle, who made my little brother’s birthday 10x better by not only treating him to a delicious sundae with a fun candy face and lots of sprinkles, but served it with a beautiful smile! Her and other staff were having lots of fun behind the counter and engaging in jokes and conversation with my family. They really made us feel like we were old friends to them, like regulars that they’ve known their whole lives, something you really don’t see anymore. You would think that’s how every service worker would be while working in ice cream? Nope, only at this Graeter’s. Thank you Zelle and thank you Graeter’s team!“
“I really like this bakery. I mainly come in for the "Ojos de Buey" pastry - the outside is a pastry dough and the middle is yellow cake. Sweet, but not overly so, and perfect with a coffee. Their conchas are pretty good too, and the price can't be beat.“
“I’m confused how this place does not have hundreds of positive reviews. It's like a hidden gem I just found. The apple pie is amazing, 10/10. Little pricey ($25) so I can’t justify buying it often but worth it if you want to splurge now and then. They have so many options of treats and sweets to choose from for all preferences and budgets. Great atmosphere and good service.“
“Was in the area and had to make a stop back to Mochinut. The flavors this week looked really good. I love the texture and chewiness of these donuts. They are light and not overly sweet. We enjoyed the original glazed and churro at the store. My sister was expecting the glazed to be a sugar rush. But to her surprise it wasn't too sweet, but perfect! She had her first mochiball and loved the strawberry filling. Great little after noon treat to enjoy with hot tea on this frigid cold weekend!“
“This place is a gem! I mean, it’s a home bakery, so it’s not really a place, but the pick-up is seamless! And the macarons are absolutely worth it.The care and attention that went into each macaron is exceptional. They are so cute. And I love that they are the perfect size. They are the perfect couple bites of perfectly textured, and wonderfully flavored macaron.And definitely try all their flavors. I’d never had dalgona before, and it’s delicious!I can’t recommend them enough. They communicate mainly through text and email, and are incredibly quick to reply to any questions. They texted me as soon as my order was ready and my macarons were gift wrapped so beautifully! They even included two bonus macaron!Dietary restrictions: I’m gluten free and have a chocolate allergy! So, they took that into account for me.“
“Comfort food in a cozy country-style atmosphere. Classic food prepared fresh with generous portions for the price ($10-14). We had the fried chicken & philly steak flatbread - delicious! This really is a hidden gem with a wonderful mission to support adults with intellectual disabilities. Why stop at a chain restaurant when your money can go to such a good cause? TIP: We were glad we wandered around because we picked up some delicious chocolates & cookies in the little country store around the corner from the pet stop.“
“It was my first time here, but I had heard a lot about this establishment. Excellent service, recommendations on choosing cakes or pastries. While I was here, I noticed that a lot of regular people came. The atmosphere here is warm. Choice of coffee ☕️ or tea ☕️ - milk or cream. You can also pre-order for a specific date.Parking: We parked without any problems and were able to visit this wonderful place“
“Incredible customer service! Christine + Anthony were working today and gave me the full red carpet treatment (first time ever eating Mochinuts!). Mochnuts are an incredible novelty we just discovered! (Imagine a chewy donut). Highly recommend pairing food with the refreshers!! So as long as I'm in the area I'm probably going to be a weekly or bi-weekly return customer.“
“It’s a lovely bakery. I’ve had their cakes, macarons and pastries. My new favorite is the ube latte!Would love to give 5 stars however their customer service could use some work. The young lady working on Sunday 3/3 was very rude to my husband and I.“
“This has been my favorite bakery since moving to the northern suburbs at the end of 2018! The cakes are always decadent and taste phenomenal and their pricing is SO reasonable. I recommend La Luz to anyone that I think might be in need of a top notch bakery and can assure you that you will NOT be disappointed!! ?“
“Beautiful old traditional European cafe which brings you into the 60’ vibe. The rum ball I’m having is so tasty and perfect in size. This place reminds me Lutz Cafe on Montrose in Chicago but their sweets (two small chocolate bites + rum ball is much more tasty and simply delicious!) Atmosphere is the „feel like home” kind and place has 5 tables. They don’t use plastic utensils which is a huge plus. If you are in Lake Forest and near train station go and experience it! Don’t miss it! Highly recommended!“
“Great place for breakfast !- Ordered the Omega Skillet- Good ambiance.- Big portions and tasty food compared to the small price.- Big pastries variety at the entrance counter.- Can accommodate big groups too.- The staff came to our table often for the refills or to clear the table.- They serve a shortcake at the beginning of the service instead of bread like any other restaurant. (Big plus)“
“This is located next to Woori Village. Huge parking lot. The bakery/cafe looked spacious upon entering. We only came here to check out their bread selection. We ended up getting a variety. Prices are not expensive, the size of the bread is not like a pea size. I feel like people use the word “expensive” or “pricey” these days, just because it’s not less than $1. They also have coffee, teas, cakes, and bingsoo. The woman at the register was very nice. The shop was clean.“
“Great Japanese style bakery with fresh, light and tasty cakes. Much better than comparable Korean bakeries as the price is more affordable and cake is much better tasting than what you would find at a Tous les jours. Definitely recommend this bakery for all your cakes and yummy goodness.“
“The good outweighs the bad. Food and Beverage: 5 STARS. It's always delicious. They have the best cakes; we come here for all of our birthday cakes. Their creme and berry filled croissants are perfect. Staff: 5 STARS. Always friendly and patient. Ambiance: 3.5 STARS. It's nothing spectacular but serves as a good enough place to meet and chat over goodies. Cleanliness: 2.5 STARS. This place consistently looks dirty. The tables are crumby, the floor is in dire need of a sweep and mop, and all of the glass on the food displays need a deep clean. Just looks grubby.“
“This place is a hidden gem. great food, great portions, great prices and great friendly staff. my roommate and my friend Heather told me about this place and I'm hooked and come here like 3 times a week to eat great breakfast and do homework. the prices are very affordable and I highly recommend this place. Yelp review 5 star.l ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
“Our wedding cake turned out absolutely STUNNING and delicious. We received so many compliments on our cake because it was so good. It was definitely the best cake I've ever had. It was so fresh and turned out absolutely beautiful. They made the experience of designing our cake so easy and I trusted them throughout the whole process. Such a timeless design and the size was absolutely perfect. They exceeded our expectations and we will be going back for other goodies and may make it a tradition to order a cake for our wedding anniversaries. Highly recommend!! “
