“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“

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

“I was waiting for my cookies when I observed a worker who was rolling dough. She stepped away from the dough table, and went on her personal phone, then immediately went back to touching the dough. Wearing the same pair of gloves the entire time. I made a comment that she should probably switch gloves if she is going to touch her personal phone and then peoples food. Just wanted to be sure it doesn’t happen again. That’s gross.“

“Very good pazcki! We all enjoyed the one that has chocolate, strawberry and some type of cream. The bomb? Not sure. It was sooo good! Can’t wait to try more. Definitely getting my cakes done here“

“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.“

“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.“

“I’ve gotten my daughters birthday cake from here for the last two years and I don’t think I’ll use any else. Gina has been easy to work with and super creative. The cakes were delicious with amazing decoration and detail. Party goers were super impressed and the cost really wasn’t that much more than a basic cake from grocery stores.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everytime I go there they are always out of oreo!“

“We’ve utilized Black Cat Bakery for birthday cakes in the past, and each time they are absolutely stunning as well as delicious; but we were even more blown away by how absolutely perfect our wedding cake was this May. My husband and I were treated so well for our cake tasting in the months prior to the wedding, and the flavor combinations are as always, incredible. I trusted Madison to design a cake that matched our theme after choosing our flavors (this is HER art!), and she completely nailed it! It actually made me tear up how perfect it was. Our guests had nothing but compliments on both the design and flavor of our cake, and I’m already looking forward to eating it again for our first anniversary even if it risks being freezer burned 😆 You can tell that the staff here really loves what they do, and they put their hearts into their desserts and creations. Thank you so much!“

“Sandi was exceptionally great and the place was immaculate. Fast service and fresh food. She was so sweet and professional. Took the time to explain the app and its perks while being efficient. Usually I hate going to auntie Anne’s because of the line but they are doing a great job here. Keep it up“

“Went to this Bakery for my grandsons Bday cake. He requested a strawberry cake. I had passed it so many times and I'm glad I finally stopped in. They had strawberry mousse!!! It was the best we ever had Agnes was a delight and they wrote his name on the cake. It was worth every penny!!! If you haven't stopped in yet, You Need To!!!!!“

“My favorite birthday cake that I’ve ever had! Decorated beautifully and tasted great. The frosting had just the right amount of sugar and was so smooth and the best frosting I’ve ever had! The cake was very moist. The macarons on top were also very good! The strawberry macaron tasted like a fresh strawberry. I will order all my cakes from her in the future!“

“Cute place! Decided to try since I work down the block. I had the Tarantino, no pickled onions. My high review is basically for the schiacciata bread which was AMAZING! Very fresh, crunchy on the outside tender on the inside. Overall it was a tasty sandwich however the roasted turkey breast was cubed which I found strange. I never had cubed meat on a sandwich. I would have preferred sliced turkey which I thought is what I would get on a sandwich. I would suggest the mention the meat is cubed because maybe I would not have gotten it. Could have used more meat“

“The most helpful representative who assisted in my cookie cake order, offered suggestions and made the entire experience so great we ordered two. Will be back to order in the future, this is the place to come for all cake orders - turned out delicious!“

“Kudos to Bella, she is an exemplary employee of this location. She went above and beyond by even serving us our glass of water such a sweet gesture. She took care of our orders like a pro. Moreover, Manager Vanessa was impressive as well in ensuring to empower her staff by recognizing Bella as a great employee. Kudos to both 2 excellent employees🥰“

“Cake was AMAZING and my hubby picked out all my flavors and they did a fantastic job on the highland cow!! Highly recommend!!“

“I recently ordered a cupcake decorating kit through their curbside pickup to send to my sisters and brother-in-law. I'm still very impressed with how responsive the owner, Norma, was to my emails and appreciate how thoughtful she was. She asked if I wanted to include a personal message to my sisters and brother-in-law, and I found out today that all of them really enjoyed the cupcakes. I can only imagine how hard it must be for small businesses like this one during these unprecedented times, but I'm glad that I was able to surprise my sisters and support them at the same time. I'm really looking forward to trying their baked goods in person one day!“

“I've been going there ever since they opened up many years ago. There are many of the same staff there and they work their butt off! And the place is just the absolute best hands down! I just found my new fave sandwich...the Turkey on a plain toasted bagel and it comes with lettuce, red onion, tomato &some sort of mustard. It's amazing!“

“This place is great 👍
Shipping peeps are very friendly and helpful. Ohh...and it smells amazing here! (Fresh 🍞)
Got here a little early, they were eager to put me in a door and started loading immediately. Great place!
Thanks for the kindness.“

“Amazing white chocolate mouse cake!“
