50 Best Bakeries near Chicago Ridge

“Thank you for making the BEST cake for my baby shower. Everyone at the shower couldn't stop talking about how good the cake was. I also really loved the cookie dough cupcakes! If I could I would buy those cupcakes everyday. The cherry on top was your scones! The best scones I've ever tasted. Thank you for the good treats. Thank you for the AMAZING customer service! Thank you for being so kind. HIGHLY recommend!“

“I recently visited Auntie Anna Chicago Ridge Mall and I have to say it was a delightful experience! The pretzels were absolutely delicious-soft , warm and perfect baked. they offer a variety of flavors from classic salted to sweet almond. Each pretzel is made a fresh order and you can taste the difference in quality. The staff were also incredibly friendly and efficient, even though it was a bit busy they serve my order with a smile and got it ready and no time. I would recommend if you’re craving a tasty snack while shopping.“

“HOLY HEAVENS!!!! Just tried Crave at the Joliet location for the first time and let me tell YOU - you’re missing out if you haven’t tried it! Ordered a couple cookies and the Dubai strawberry cup and it’s literally everything! Cookies have the perfect sweetness, a comfort cookie for sure. The Dubai strawberry cup?? I made my husband turn around to get a second cause there was no way I was sharing mine! Dixie was so sweet! She was super informative with the cookie questions we had, and she packed a mean strawberry cup! Shout out to Dixie! Can’t wait for our next trip to Crave. Obsessed with the traveling trainer as well. Over all - cookies and employees are absolutely wonderful!!!“

“Very good best smoothie iv ever had. Also very friendly staff“

“I tried coconut tres leches and mango, both are really good but coconut takes the crown, they taste like a traditional Mexican cake, owner is super friendly, clean place! Really recommend this place. The only thing or issue for me for not for all people, the cake was a little sweet for me! Support local business“

“So, Babe had a taste for a blueberry muffin. We decided to stop in here. They did not have any muffins available at the moment BUT they had a blueberry donut. Needless to say, we walked out with a dozen assorted donuts. I've already eaten 3 and my taste buds are EXTREMELY satisfied 😍 The staff was super friendly and the establishment was very clean. Everything looked so delicious. I know we'll definitely go back again to try other pastries 😀 $21 for a dozen donuts. Definitely worth supporting a small business as opposed to Dunkin Donuts. . This place makes their donuts with love 💕 Well worth it 💕“

“I love the fresh food , reasonable prices and how polite and helpful the ladies are. I have been going to this bakery for over 18 years. I moved far from it, and I drive an hour to come buy from there.“

“I would give this a 5 stars, but the cookies are just too unhealthy. I have seen the videos online of how many calories and sugar are in these and it’s appalling. I still get them on occasion, but they are only a once in a while treat and not something you should be getting every week to try out their rotational menu.

Kid-friendliness: Yeah, for whole family.“

“The best cookies that I tried!
When I went for the first time I needed a seller because this work like self service, they help me and were so kind. Cookies are expensive but so delicious. The store is too small and it’s confuse because there are two lines, one for order and one for pickup, because of the size of the store it’s kind a mess“

“Today, 20 Sep my daughter brought home a dozen chocolate donuts. I was shocked when I opened the box. Apparently your bakery is downsizing the donuts. Much smaller and worse of all , what happened to the chocolate coating on the donuts. Did you run out? They use to be smothered with chocolate. Very disappointed.“

“It's a cute as can be a cookie place where the menu changes every week. Originally, I wasn't into the hype until recently. I'm giving it 4 stars because sometimes the cookies don't hit and the price for water or other drinks is through the roof unnecessary.“

“Mashallah, may God bless you, may God grant you success and grant you truly the best kunafa I have tried so far in America, and I was in Texas and California. God willing, it will go to the top, my helper ❤️
🇵🇸🕊️✌️“

“This by far my favorite bakery in the area. Try mooncakes, egg tarts or classic sesame balls. Everything is reasonably priced and they have coffee too! Lady behind the desk is very nice and will always help if you need an idea what to get. Recommending to bring cash to avoid little credit card surcharge as it’s informatively displayed on the counter. Way to lead a business!“

“The food is just incredible! I am speechless“

“I love an old school Chicago Bakery. You know that feeling when you visit your favorite relative? That’s what it’s like at Impallaria Bakery. You will be greeted with a warm hello and smile when entering. Still family run, they have the best coffee cakes, danishes and donuts this side of the city. You know it’s good when kids stop by on the way to school to grab a donut in the morning. The butter cookies are literally 99%butter and 1% flour and eggs. Don’t hesitate to grab a half pound to eat in the car on the way home.
I’ve have ordered danishes for teacher appreciation or staff meetings and they are always a hit. Flaky pastry with a light drizzle of icing and good balance of filling. The almond crescents are popular.
Old fashioned hand dipped cake donuts are a treat! They also have deli sandwiches which I have yet to order.
Did I mention they have cakes?? Where in the city can you find a fresh cake under $30?????
If you’re in the area be sure to stop by!

“The bread has a very delicious flavor, the cuernitos con cajeta, delicious. And the shells, not to mention very delicious. The guava stuffed bread is definitely not recommended, guava has no flavor and is definitely not guava. I recommend the conchitas and the cuernitos con cajeta. The person who attended us was very friendly.“

“Stopped in to give myself a birthday treat. Everything is so fresh and delicious It was hard to choose. I of curse had to have my lemon fluff cupcake, a pastry and who could say no to an apple slice. But the true treats are the lovely and kind ladies working the counter. I truly feel it’s not just because I patronize Wolf’s bakery - but they are genuinely kind and make you feel welcome. I love this bakery’s products and its staff. Happy Holidays!!“

“Hidden gem, great food and even greater customer service. Found my new go-to spot. Highly recommend“

“Beverly Bakery has become a MUST every time we are in the area! The food is incredible, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is so friendly. The crème brûlée French toast with strawberries is easily the BEST French toast I have everrrrrr had! I love the fresh brewed coffee and the wide selection of coffee beans to take home that they will even grind up for you. I would recommend giving Beverly bakery a try to anyone looking for a great breakfast in the area.“

“I stopped in to see what was available. Bought a variety of cupcakes. They were delicious. I have to go back and get some cheesecake ❤️“

“Crumbcrusher really pulled through with a last minute cake for my daughter’s birthday- it was beautiful and delicious!“

“Cute, small bakery with a lot of different Mexican breads and pastries. When you go in, you grab a tray and a prong to grab the items you want. They also have more cookies and hot Churros at the register. The strawberry churro was amazing. The prices are very reasonable. I really enjoyed the savory cheese and jalapeno bread and the strawberry jam filled pastry.“

“Loved how our son’s baptism cake turned out! It was delicious.“

“2nd order for our family within 6 months!!! Had amazing cupcakes for our sons baptism and our daughters birthday! Delicious and affordable!!“

“I ordered the chocolate chip, sugar cookies, and brownies. We had them delivered to our house. The packing was fabulous. No broken cookies or brownies. We tried the chocolate chip cookie and it had big chunks of chocolate and a very good flavor. It was a big cookie that could be shared by two people. We put the others in the freezer until Christmas.“

“We ordered my wedding cake from here, a specialty made multi-tiered baklava cheesecake - a truly stunning piece of art while tasting absolutely heavenly. It was the perfect end to a perfect night. We received multiple compliments from guests raving about how delicious the cake was. The owner is also a joy to work with. Can't recommend enough!!“

“I grew up in Western Springs, in a house on the “other side of the tracks”. Almost every Sunday, my father and I would go to Kirschbaum’s for a dozen donuts. Those donuts were sooo good.“

“Hi, I ordered paczkis today and they were delicious. All of my coworkers loved them! The bakery was very busy at 6am but they did their best to fill orders as quickly as they could. Thank you guys for the awesome paczkis!!! Will definitely be back next year! :)“

“This is the second time we have ordered from Sarah Ashley Bakery and they truly do a fantastic job! I ordered a one tier 1st birthday cake and custom cookies and with just explaining my vision over the phone, they hit it out of the park. The cake and cookies looked absolutely beautiful and was everything I wanted! Both the cake and cookies tasted delicious as well.“

“Very friendly service! Was able to sample some of the food items ( Thanks Souna!, forgive the misspelling) Food is very fresh and the large Kabob plate is delicious and very plentiful. Love the Falafel and the Kibbeh was good. Really good is the Arabic pizza the cheese and grilled veggie one. I will be returning!“

“You know why I frequent Alwatan Bakery? Insha’Allah “God wills it” Their halal food is the best, I go there frequently for breakfast. I wouldn’t give that McDonald’s crap, or any other fast food to an abandoned starving stray dog on the street.“

“We loved everything here. among just the baklavas, the Turkish baklava was my favorite.“

“Honestly these are the best shawarma in the neighborhood I love them anyone I take here always has nothing but good things to say about the food, the atmosphere is very inviting and the staff is very nice. I recommended the food to everyone that visits Chicago. I love it.“

“Young lady very nice“

“Our family absolutely loves Bb's donuts! We do miss being able to go inside the donut shop. So many wonderful memories taking our little girl there to eat donuts and read a book or two. We have a little boy with Autism and it's not safe for him to sit in front by the busy street because he runs. Wish we could go inside to enjoy donuts & coffee knowing it's something our son would truly enjoy.“

“Their cakes are amazing!!“

“Omg. The banana pudding cake was DELICIOUS. I should have got a bigger one. I will definitely be back. I rate mouthful of cakes a 10/10“
