“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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! ♥️♥️♥️“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great experience with Creme by Sarah Ashley Bakery! Ashley responded to my order in a timely and efficient manner. I showed her a picture and when I received it, it definitely exceeded my expectations! Everything looked wonderful and tasted even better. What I liked the most, is that the buttercream isn’t too sweet as well. I would highly recommend and will definitely be ordering again for future events. Thank you again!“

“Delicious baked goods. Highly recommend!“

“Paris Baguette is one of the best pastry places around. While the do have multiple locations around Chicago and it's suburbs, the products they serve are top notch. They have many drinks from simple coffee beverages to more extravagant ones. Paris Baguette also offers full cakes and some cold sandwiches for a quick lunch. All in all, worth a drive to experience what they have to offer.“

“pieczywo zawsze dobre i swieze. lody tez fantastyczne 👍👍👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ everything is always fresh! ice cream is DELICIOUS 👍👍👍“

“Everyone is so friendly. The cakes are amazing cost friendly and most importantly are 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.“

“I went into this paczki situation thinking, “Okay, cute, festive, probably good.” What I was NOT prepared for… was emotional damage. Because this Samoa-flavored paczki didn’t just meet expectations it absolutely body slammed them. First of all, shoutout to my amazing husband, who casually stopped and brought this home like it was just a normal Thursday and not a life-altering act of love. Sir. You didn’t bring me a paczki. You brought me trust issues with every other dessert. Imagine the love child of a Samoa Girl Scout cookie and a cloud. The caramel? Aggressive in the best possible way. The coconut? Perfectly toasted like it knew it had something to prove. The chocolate? Just enough to remind you that life can still surprise you in beautiful ways. And the dough itself? So soft it felt illegal. I took one bite and immediately understood why people line up in the cold for paczki like it’s a survival situation. This wasn’t a donut. This was an experience. A personality trait. A reminder that I married the right man. 10/10. Would ruin my diet, my dignity, and my emotional stability for another one.“

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

“I purchased a Biscoff cheesecake and it greatly exceeded my expectations!!“

“Polite and efficient on the phone. Our hot and tasty pizzas were delivered in less than the 1 hour they said it would arrive. (40 min) Their Fried shrimp is also amazing.“

“Tres leches cake is really good“

“Amazing palabok and empanadas!
This location is super clean and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. It's located right near 355! perfect for a quick bite, though keep in mind there are only a few seats inside. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Entering this place it can seem hectic if it’s rush hour. But rest assured the workers here are so efficient. The food here is so good! They have many combinations that attend to all palettes. Their smoothies are amazing I love the strawberry the best. I stop here whenever I can.“

“stopped for the first time yesterday and got a variety of things. so nice to have so many options! i have celiac and intolerances and my son has food allergies and we didn’t have any issues with anything. :) we would stop again!“

“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!“

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!!!!!“

“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.“
