“Wow! We had the best time yesterday at Crave Cookie Lombard! My two children wanted to try it out so we went in. First impressions, it’s very clean and welcoming! We tried the Dubai strawberry cup, the cookie milk shake and a loaded soda! All were very delicious. It was the best loaded soda I’ve ever had! Our host the owner’s niece took the extra time to talk with us and told us a little bit about the family business. She even gave us free samples of warm chocolate chip cookies! They were so yummy! We will be supporting this lovely business and will be back!“

“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! 😊“

“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 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.“

“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! ♥️♥️♥️“

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

“Delicious baked goods. Highly recommend!“

“100% would recommend! Rosie first off is so sweet, responds ASAP and cares about her customers! I ordered a cake for a med school graduation that looked like a doc white coat and she knocked it out of the park! She sent me a picture the day before and I asked for a small change and she was so kind and heard me out and wanted to make sure her customer felt like they were part of the process!
On top of the cake looking amazing, it tasted amazing! I’ve ordered cakes before from other bakeries and sometimes it’s just aesthetic while the taste is forgotten. Rosie makes sure that it looks good AND tastes good!! Best combo!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“The bakery itself served and they have a rotating selection of pastries. The store is kind of small, so large parties are not recommended. They also have a very good selection of cakes and other food items. They also have coffee and can make things like latte's cappuccinos, expressos ect“

“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.“

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

“I live on the East Coast with family in the area so I am in a few times a year. This is one place I insist on going every time. The donuts are truly amazing, think the early days of Krispy Kreme, light and fluffy then this place picks it up considerably. This time I had a Pineapple donut, which I did not know was a thing, it was so good it hurt Two pieces of advice for visitors.
1. However many you get be prepared to eat them all.
2. For those giving stupid 1 star reviews because they felt like a donut at noon, can't blame you but still, understanding the perishable food industry would help. They just can't keep making donuts all day since they don't carry over well at all. Get out of the rack and go get these delicious donuts in the early AM as nature intended.
To the owners, great job, perhaps change the posted hours to reflect you close when sold out, which occurs daily. That would help satisfy the 1 PM donut eaters who will just need to get moving.“

“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.“

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

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

“Tres leches cake is really good“

“Red Ribbon in Bolingbrook is one of my favorite places for cakes and pastries. My favorites are Chocolate Mousse and Mango Cake very moist and flavorful, and the variety of baked goods gives everyone something to enjoy. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and provides excellent customer service especially Ms. Vanessa. We keep coming back because of her. I’ll give this Bakeshop a 10star if I could!🙌“

“Never been to this location, but I’ve been to another one and I love it. I walked in at 8 30, 1/2 an hour before they close and they had already put away all of their stock so I walked right back out. I have worked at bakeries and the food industry and typically that is the last thing you do for night’s cleanup 🤷🏻‍♀ Behind me, a couple walked in into the exact same thing and then another. Guess it’s loss of business for them. It’s unfortunate.“

“They make the best soups, sandwiches and meals. They have daily specials too!“

“Our daughter’s first birthday cake turned out amazing l!“

“We love EVERYTHING! Custom cakes, prepared desserts to go, piñatas, and other decor you’d want in a bakery!“

“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.“

“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.“

“For the most part this location is good about getting you fresh cookies, but sometimes it’s a hit or miss. But TODAY! These cookies are delicious! The cookies and cream cheesecake, the brownie batter cookie, and the pink velvet cake! 😋“

“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!“

“I really like this place, unique tasty coffee and a very kind owner. I hope they do well! Some constructive criticism, they could use more staff, coffee took a very long time. I also wish it was more organized and childproofed. Don’t let this stop you, I’m sure they will work out the kinks. There’s nothing else like this place, super cool.“

“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!“

“I absolutely love this bakery!! Their stuff is DELICIOUS and such a cute atmosphere!! 🤤“

“The cake is really good and it looks really nice!“

“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.“

“Orland Market & Bakery is one of the best Middle Eastern markets in the area. Everything is always fresh, from the pita bread and bakery items to the meats and prepared food. The shawarma, falafel, and hummus are all delicious, and you can really taste the quality. The store is clean, well organized, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Whether you’re shopping for groceries or grabbing a quick meal, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“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!!!!!“
