50 Best Bakeries near Countryside

“What a lovely place and decorated so cute. The owners were so inviting and welcoming! We asked a lot of questions since it was our first time. Everything is homemade. The coffee was spot on, strong how we like it. The wildberry strudel was amazing. We also had the the feta and spinach spanakopita, it was delish. A great atmosphere. We will definitely be back to try more. A interesting menu of yummy things to try.“

“it's the best Bakery around..“

“Delicious goodies and bread. Amazing sandwiches and specialty items. Nicest family inthe world owns it! Been around forever. Always a stop when I go back to my hood as a kid.“

“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've been here twice now and I've enjoyed both experiences. I did a cake tasting and had a hard time choosing I went with a two tiered cake. Staff is really friendly and the atmosphere was really relaxing. Also tried and enjoyed the Mexican strawberry matcha world cup drink 🇲🇽“

“Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had Maria and Ashley was very amazing with giving the best experience to customers no matter who you are and the food just as good, the whole team there could be seen giving their all, will definitely come again with friends!!“

“Shout out for the perfect Pastries for my daughter’s shower!“

“The cookies are amazing as always! Staff can try to be a little more friendlier they give the factory worker feel (hot miserable & not trying to be there). Doesn’t feel welcoming but thankfully I’m not there for them 🤪 there for the cookiesss but a lil customer service goes a long way & if that’s too much try smiling it’s contagious! 😊“

“The best thing about this cafe is that I do not live anywhere near it, so I can't go every day. But for real, everything I have had from them from savory to sweet has been absolutely fantastic, and I am not easy to please when it comes to baked goods. I cannot comment on the coffee, because I don't drink it.

But try a cookie! Or a scone! Or a biscuit!“

“Yesterday I took the Sourdough Breadmaking Class with Chef George at The Ancestral Oven and I just pulled an amazing loaf of bread out of my home oven 24 hours later! Chef George provided all the necessary instruction and supplies - including a lively starter - for students to start their own sourdough journey at home. The class included hands-on experience feeding the starter, as well as folding and shaping the dough. I had a great time at the class and can't wait to return to try out the breakfast and lunch menu at The Ancestral Oven Bakery and Cafe.“

“I absolutely recommend not only are the treats delicious but customer service is amazing.“

“Lovely spot in downtown Westmont! Sweet and savory food options that are all delicious. We really enjoy going to this unique spot for breakfast and brunch.“

“Absolutely delicious cake that looked great too. ❤️“

“Always a 10/10! The Orland Park team is super fast, friendly and helpful! This location is clean and efficient. There’s always free and easy parking available which is appreciated. The cookies are consistently warm and delicious and I’ve always been able to get the flavor I want. I recommend!“

“10 STARS

What a treat! After enjoying late lunch at Piccolo Buco, our family was definitely in the mood for something sweet, and who better to guide us than my niece, who clearly knows all the best spots! We popped in, and right away, Haleema and Nakiah who was working there last night, greeted us with such a bright, welcoming energy. Their kindness and cheerfulness really set a lovely tone for our visit – it’s always wonderful when the staff makes an experience even better.

We started with some cookies, and they were absolutely spot-on. The chocolate chip, velvet Oreo, and semi-sweet chocolate chip cookies were all beautifully soft and warm, and my kids were over the moon with them. But then came the real discovery! My niece introduced me to the Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup, and as a self-proclaimed connoisseur of all things strawberry and chocolate, I was instantly captivated.

Seriously, you guys, when I tell you this was hands down THE BEST Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup I’ve ever tasted, I'm not exaggerating! Every single layer was pure perfection: the juicy, fresh strawberries, the delightful crunch of the kataifi pastry, the incredibly smooth and creamy pistachio butter, and then, sealing the deal, that decadent Belgian milk chocolate. The execution was flawless, and each bite was an absolute dream. We were so smitten that we ended up ordering 2! It’s a bit of a bummer that we don’t live closer, but we’re absolutely thrilled to have found a new go-to place for truly exceptional dessert.

Great hire manager! Haleema and Nakiah deserves a raise.“

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

“Drove 45 minutes and well worth the trip. I couldn’t choose…so I bought quiche, key lime, chocolate chess, chocolate cream and pecan pies. All fantastic, but the pecan is my absolute fave. Go here. Your taste buds will never forgive you if you don’t!“

“they always have delicious Mexican bread100% very nice people that work there....come and see for yourself🙋“

“Delicious Mediterranean desserts and homemade ice cream! large ,clean and spacious room to sit down and enjoy your desserts 🍨 very friendly staff ❤️❤️❤️“

“We’re so fortunate to have this gem of a local bakery nearby. My celiac daughter loves that she can eat ANYTHING from here. I’m not GF, and I think everything is delicious too. We love Sweet Ali’s!“

“We stopped by here to pick up some pastries for the office and tried out their strawberry danish. Absolutely amazing! This is our new spot for office sweets. Plus the customer service was fantastic!“

“My toddler offered this review when she said the following after she took a bite of the tomato and basil scone, "Pizza! So yummy!"“

“Best bakery ever!!! Absolutely everything is delicious!!!“

“The food and service were outstanding. We ate there on Saturday and came back to eat again on Sunday because it was so good.“

“This little bakery/cafe is a hidden gem! They have a huge variety of fruit teas and milk teas! their cakes and sweet treats are beautiful and super trendy! We love the can cakes and the ice taro mochi cakes!“

“A young lady that i met today asked me if I've ever visited this place and told her I've never heard of it. She told me that they had really good Matcha Lattes, so I decided to stop by there today. The Latte was very good and the service was excellent 👌 thank you so much Mina“

“Maaaan look 👀....don't walk 🚶🏽...RUN 🏃🏽💨 to Sugar Sweet Dreams! Tania is amazing! She's such a talented artist/baker. She's very attentive and will work with you to create whatever design you're thinking of. She made the perfect cake for my wife's birthday. Her prices are fair and her artistry is second to none! My wife was blown away and brought to tears from the sheer cuteness of the cake. She didn't want to cut it; and it taste delicious 😂😂😂 Thanks again Tania, you have a customer 4 life. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS! ♥️♥️♥️“

“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.“

“Great Service and staff and love the name game. Such a cool idea and love you get free donuts if your name is picked. Keeping my fingers crossed for Dawn.“

“I do think these are the best donuts in Chicago area, or that I've ever had, specifically the glaze and the chocolate. I'm from Texas and have high standards for simple yeast donuts. The Chicago area is really lacking in independent donut shops, so when I found these, I was so happy. I found the original D&Ds location a couple of years ago, but was happy when this location opened as it's closer to me. There is a very professional and kind young man that we've seen work the register at the shop a couple of times, and the owner always offers up samples to newbies, so the service here is great. The food and service are truly 5 stars.
The only downfall of this place is, as other reviews have mentioned, there have been multiple times I've tried to come during business hours, and they are unexpectedly closed for the day. And I'm left heartbroken. To avoid this, I would definitely call before heading there. I won't stop going because I truly believe in their product, but I definitely won't head there unless I've confirmed they're open.“

“Gf Chocolate Chip Brownies are beyond any comparison I've come anywhere- once you try it you won't want any other!“

“Absolutely LOVED my cake!! Rosie was the sweetest, cake was absolutely delicious, all the guest loved it so much! She saw the inspo I gave her and created the cake 1000x better than I could ever imagine! I highly recommend her and I will continue to let people know about her when they need a cake! Thank you again so so much!“

“Ashley made this experience so seamless she took my cake order days before I needed it for an event ! She executed the design and was very impressive with the time frame and was able to deliver exactly my vision . She such a good spirited person and her brother was a pleasure as well !! I would recommend Creme to anyone who wants delectable delicious desserts !! 10/10 recommend“

“Delicious baked goods. Highly recommend!“

“My daughter ordered a nut free wedding cake for herself, nut free and gluten free cookies and cupcakes for special guests! Everything was delicious and much appreciated from the gf and nut free guests.“

“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.“

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

“Omg!!! This place is too amazing to not try. The food is so fresh and super tasty. This location is my favorite one!! The way Amina and the rest of the staff recognize us it’s just so heartwarming, they make us feel like family. We are so happy when we’re here and leave even happier with a full belly. Thank you Amina and staff for an amazing experience as always! You guys are amazing! We travel an hour to eat here so that tells you how delicious the food is but the service makes it even better. We love you Baba Saj Oak Lawn“

“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.“

“Yesterday morning was my first time visiting and trying this bakery. It was a small storefront but this place was definitely quality over quantity ?? Berta behind the counter was such a sweetheart. All the pan dulce I got was delicious, but the conchas were my favorite. They were super soft, and the topping was not overly sweet. They have great prices compared to other places.$CASH ONLY$Yesterday morning was the first time I visited and tried this bakery.
