“You guys…this might be the best cinnamon roll I’ve ever had. The frosting was perfect. It was not too sweet and not too cream cheesy but it was a velvety smooth combination of both with neither flavor overpowering. The pastry itself was perfectly cooked and not too doughy. And the cinnamon! Chefs kiss. Well done Black Market Bakery!“

My daughter-in-law arrived before us and said that Ethan had pulled together a table for our group, adjusted the blinds as it was warm in there and offered some broken cookies for the kids as they couldn't be sold.

Thank you, Konrad’s!“

“Absolutely the best and freshest bagels between here and Brooklyn. Though originally from the Midwest, I spent 20 years on the East Coast and my wife has family who are from Brooklyn. Thank you so much Elle for bringing a taste of home to the Crystal Lake area.“

“It smelled really wonderful when I walked in, baking bread smell, which is always a good sign! They have cases of goodies on either side and it was hard to decide what to get. Couldn't tell you the proper name for most of what I did get, except for the churro. But each pastry was delicious.

The churro was crispy but soft and chewy on the inside and had cherry filling - didn't know you could stuff a churro, but what do I know, lol.

Whatever this cookie was it was perfectly sweet and crumbly and had a great pecan taste. It was also weirdly powdery when you bit into it, but in the very best way possible. The elephant ear, that's what I call it, was huge, flaky, crispy caramelized perfection. Those were my favorites, but everything was good, and I got out of there for under $10 so I was very happy.

Parking right across the street, bright and clean inside, friendly service. Check it out!“

“I can’t say enough good things about these cookies and treats! We placed an order for cookies, Oreo balls and chocolate pretzel sticks for our recent baby shower. The cookies exceeded our expectations in look and taste, and the extra treats rounded out our dessert table with everything getting awesome reviews from our guests. Can’t wait for our next event so we can order more!“

“I love getting my morning coffee from Elder + Oat a few times a week. It is a little bit of a haul from my house but totally worth it. Have usually get their monthly seasonal cold brew I have never disliked it. Nicole is the sweetest barista! I highly recommend this cute coffee shop!“

“Friendly atmosphere with live music this morning“

“Came in Saturday night and was the only customer, not one hello nothing. All 4 employees didn’t acknowledge me. I asked if my order was done and no response. Finally one lady said my name just put the box on the counter and walked away. Sorry my 6 pack order was an inconvenience. Don’t think I’ll ever come back. You lost a monthly customer.

Edit, the owner called me directly and had some kind words and reassurance it’s not how they run things. I will definitely come back for another try.“

“I was missing my kids sandwich. Came back in. Ordered a coffee and a muffin for myself while I wait for it to get fixed. Manager took care of my coffee and muffin, and the wait wasn’t even long enough to fill my coffee cup. 10/10. Mistakes happen. They went above and beyond to make sure to fix it. I really appreciate all of the staff there. I hadn’t been to Panera in a few years. And the cashier was super friendly helping me through the menu.“
