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.“

“what happened I have not been there in a while went there during Xmas season did not feel like Christmas at all there plus it looked dirty so disappointing it could use a good clean and some holiday cheer..selection was poor too very little festive mdse“

“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.“

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

“Great place to get vegan, nut free cupcakes, brownies and more.

Met the owner, named Chelsey, and watched as she decorated a cake she just made.

Small colorful shop and environment is welcoming and cheerful.

The sweets were fantastic.

If you are in the Oak Park area or furthers, its worth the trip.

“There's a reason the line here is sometimes half a block long. The scones and banana bread are out of this world but the Olive oil cake is among the tastiest things I've had. Regardless of the time of day or how crowded they are the staff is friendly and incredibly efficient. I've never had to wait on my order for more than a couple of minutes. Fantastic neighborhood gem!“

“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!!“

“The 25 of January we celebrate my daughter wedding and I order some costume made heart conchas and they were a huge hit, beautiful and what is most important they were delicious, guests were asking where I ordered them from, and until today I’m getting calls, I recommend them to everyone getting merry is a nice detail to add to your event .“

“Best eggplant perm sandwich ever!“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious cake that looked great too. ❤️“

“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.“

“Delicious! Lived up to the hype!! The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and offered excellent recommendations. Service was swift but never rushed, striking the perfect balance! The staff presented us with our orders before handing us the best cookies I’ve had in a long time. Go check them out, they never disappoint!!“

“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“

“The cookies are amazing! We tried the strawberry sugar and strawberry pop tart cookie (which comes warm)! They box the cookies up so nicely; each in their own little box! Each cookie lasted us two days! I wish they had seating to sit enjoy the cookies with a nice cup of bigger!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“I had this cake delivered. It was excellent, on time, box it came in felt so expensive and rich! I couldn’t wait to open the box! Cake was very light, mousse was not overly sweet, just right. The cake was the smallest one they have but it’s reasonable. 4 of us had a slice and there was still a small piece left over. I can’t wait to try more from this place!“

“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!“

“Forget the plane ticket — a trip to Acapulco Bakery is better than a vacation to Acapulco itself! 🌴🍩 One bite of their donuts and I was ready to trade in my beach chair for a pastry box. A flavor explosion that could wake up a sleepy mariachi band! 🎺😂

These donuts are pure happiness disguised as breakfast. Every bite feels like sunshine, good vibes, and a sugar rush all rolled into one. If you’re looking for paradise, skip the travel plans — just head to Acapulco Bakery and thank me later. Best. Donuts. Ever. 🙌“

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

“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.“

“The food is just incredible! I am speechless“

“Buckeye Brownie cookie is to die for!!!“

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

“I have not found anything that I do not enjoy. All the dessert are wonderful“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I found Sugar Sweet Dreams online for making surprise cupcakes for my daughter while we were in town visiting from Texas. Tania was so incredible easy to communicate with and created the most gorgeous and delicious cupcakes that I have ever had. My daughter and her dance friends could not stop raving about them. Tania thank you for making my daughter’s birthday so special and making it easy for someone like myself who is just in town visiting. We come into town frequently so we will definitely be using your services again and highly recommend you to everyone!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Amazing Amazing Amazing Butter Pecan Malt! It is worth every single dollar and cent. Also had the everything cupcake 🧁 it’s very good with the two s’mores. Overall great bakery! Must Go! Hurry Hurry Hurry!“

“Habebh Sweets is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warm hospitality and an amazing selection of fresh, authentic Middle Eastern desserts. Everything we tried was perfectly made—fresh, flavorful, and not overly sweet. You can truly taste the quality and care in every bite.

The staff was friendly, patient, and happy to help us choose, which made the experience even better. Whether you’re picking up something for guests or just treating yourself, Habebh Sweets never disappoints. Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be back!“
