“Very nice, very friendly store with a great selection of bundt cakes in various sizes. Go and enjoy, you deserve it...“

“I have gone to many different Panera's and this one is by far the best. Service, food, and the manager was over the top accommodating. I had to change the pick up date and he step right up and took care of it. Couldn't be happier, will use them again!!!!“

“The bread is out of this world. My personal favorite is the seeded. The pastries are also very good. What a treasure.“

“These cookies are so yummy and pretty, their not too sweet compare to other stores cookies. Frida greeted us with a smile right when we walked in. Even though she was busy with an order I also saw her greet other customers as soon as they came in the door as well. The service was quick. The store was kept clean! Crave Cookie in Mount Prospect has become my kids and I favorite cookie store!! :)“

“I have never had a take my breath away experience until indulging in these cookies. I wanted to motorboat the apple pie featured last week lol. Truly a great oral experience. I kinda don’t want to share how great your cookies and keep it my secret lol.“

“Ok....so, fun fact...i love pastries....love em. And this place does not disappoint. It actually doesnt matter what you get here. Yeah, I said that. If you like sourdough bread, you should pre order one for the weekend. So good.
You can taste the care and dedication that they put into making everything. They're proud. And they should be.
The woman who helped me. She had a literal twinkle in her eye as she talked about her favorite pastry. You have bought yourself a lifelong customer.
Thank you.“

“First time visit even though I live close by. The bread and sandwiches are delicious and the mom and pop bakery feels super cozy! There’s no place to sit and eat. It is a purchase and go type of bakery. I’ll definitely be back!“

“I went yesterday when visiting Chicago. I had never had it before but I went by the recommendations of Skokie residents and I was very impressed. I took 6 desserts home to Kentucky and my only regret is I didn’t take more oatmeal raisin cookies. Those were absolutely phenomenal.“

“Always a wonderful experience. I must say, I wish their berry tartlets were the same as the ones they make for their Gays Mills, Wi restaurant. The berry topping has too much more sugar than the restaurant ones. I was disappointed I couldn’t have one today. I’ll just have to bring some extra home when I go back to Gays Mills. Everyone MUST go to their restaurant at least once!“

“Best sourdough in Illinois! Great service and a comfortable environment.“

“I finally was in the area and managed to stop by and try this bakery out today. Having a nut allergy, safe bakeries are extremely hard to come by. The fact that this place is also delicious will have me back for sure. Nice employee, delicious treats, I definitely recommend.“

“That Little French Guy makes us happy every time we head that way. The Champs de Élysées doesn’t have better! It’s being back in Paris, every unique French delight. Thank you for our favorite place to visit often.“

“We drove from Genoa City Wisconsin because we heard how delicious everything was. We were NOT disappointed. The meat on our sandwiches, one corned beef and one pastrami, was piled high! Homemade brined pickles and bakery items exceeded our expectations. Worth the drive and we will be back.“

“best coffee cake . so many flavors“

“Sourdough Traditional Bread & Cookies Purchase I recently picked up some sourdough bread and cookies, and both were absolutely delightful. The sourdough had that perfect balance of a crisp, golden crust and a chewy, tangy interior. You could tell it was naturally leavened and fermented just right — the flavor was deep and complex without being overly sour. It’s the kind of bread that elevates even a simple sandwich or just stands on its own with a bit of butter. The cookies were equally impressive. Freshly baked, with a perfect texture — slightly crisp at the edges and soft in the middle. Whether classic chocolate chip or something more unique, they had just the right amount of sweetness without being overpowering. Clearly made with care and quality ingredients. I’ll definitely be back for more. Highly recommended if you’re after artisanal baked goods that taste homemade (in the best way possible). P.S Big shout out for the customer service and presentation 👌❤️ 💯% recommend Val s Bakery“

“I went to this location. The staff was friendly when I walked in. Also, I tried the dirty soda when they were having a free promotion and they were a good refreshing drink if you need a pickup in the afternoon. Come check out this location in a big shopping center with lots of other stores.“

“Stopped here for lunch. The establishment was clean and had a nice atmosphere. Great variety of things to choose from. The staff were friendly and quick. The ham and cheese croissant, pistachio spiral croissant, and iced hazelnut latte were very good. My only complaint would be that it is a little pricey but that wouldn’t stop me from eating there again or recommending to others.“

“We had the pleasure of enjoying Transylvania Kitchen’s food at the Romanian Community Summit in Chicago, and everything was absolutely amazing! Gabriela and her team did a fantastic job. I especially loved the creative idea of showcasing dishes from different regions of Romania—it made the experience even more special and was such a wonderful way to represent the diversity of Romanian cuisine. Delicious, authentic food and beautifully presented. Highly recommend!“

“I recently visited this spot and tried the Nova Lox Bagel. While the bagel itself was fresh and well-toasted, the salmon was a letdown. Nova lox is typically known for being less salty than regular smoked salmon, but in this case, it was overly salty and overwhelmed the other flavors. The toppings, like cream cheese, capers, and onions, were well-balanced, but the saltiness of the salmon really detracted from the overall experience.

I also decided to try the apricot cookie, but that turned out to be a mistake. I was surprised to learn it cost nearly $5—far more than I expected for a single cookie. Unfortunately, the taste was disappointing; it was so unpalatable that I couldn’t even finish it. The texture was dense and off-putting, and the apricot flavor was barely there. It felt like a waste of money, and I left feeling dissatisfied.

The prices were reasonable for the bagel, but the quality didn’t fully match my expectations. As for the cookie, it was overpriced and not worth trying again. Overall, a mixed experience—there’s potential, but the execution fell short.“

“I’ve been so impressed with Hewn bakery. Everything has been incredible. The heirloom wheats are particularly delightful and I love trying out their various pastries. All are exceptional and I would recommend this bakery to anyone who appreciates quality, thoughtful and timeless ingredients.“

“I tried the donuts from Mini Donut Factory, and it was unforgettable! These little masterpieces literally melt in your mouth—fresh, fluffy, and incredibly delicious. If you’re looking for something special to treat yourself or your loved ones, this is the place. Highly recommend!“

“An absolute North Shore institution and a total treasure in Highwood! Everything here is stunning and delicious. The fresh fruit tarts, passion fruit mousse cake, and eclairs look like works of art and taste incredible. They also serve fantastic quiches and savory pastries if you're stopping by for lunch.
Tony and the team provide such warm, friendly service that makes you feel right at home. Perfect spot to grab a dessert for a special occasion or pick up a signature white box of sweet treats for the weekend!“

“They offered a wide variety of baked goods. You can see everything while waiting in line to order. I ordered their green tea and strawberry mousse cakes. The cake parts were a little stale, but the filling made it nice and light. Overall, pretty good.“

“absolutely delicious!!!!!!!!“

“Cutest yummiest cookies… totally worth the visit“

“We had an amazing cake from The Baking Institute at Drury Lane! Their partnership made it so easy and everything was there and ready to go for us! The only thing is it was slightly different from what we originally sent as a reference photo, but it came out adorable“

“Awesome little bakery! I wanted to try a black forest cake - which I can't say for sure I'd ever tasted before - before possibly attempting to make one for myself. After some Googling, scrutinizing reviews, and learning that this place is located only ~20 minutes away from me, I set my sights and was not disappointed. I ordered the smallest one, which is plenty big for only me and proved to be delicious! I hope to return in due time to try the Gateaux au Chocolat. Also picked up a slice of cheese cake for my mom, who said that it was delicious and had a lemon tang.

While I'm glad that I went on a Sunday, the parking lot isn't _that_ small. Yes, there is a sushi place next door, and it probably fills up during peak service hours. But there's even more parking a stone's throw away. I've been to dine-in restaurants on the North side with less parking, lol.“

“Great place for finding a gift or sweet treat! They do have coffee -- I just haven't tried any. I usually get lost in the merchandise because it is so interesting and varied - and not overly expensive! You can't help but buy a gift or two for yourself as well.....“

“Jaziel was amazing! His energy and passion stood out the entire time, and his performance was powerful from start to finish. His team was also super welcoming and created such a good vibe , you could really feel the unity and love for what they do!“

“Great Bakery, I Always Spend About $20 When I Visit. Great Pastries & Other Products. Wonderful Service. It Must B Nice Living Close By & Smelling The Wonders Of There Bakery Everyday & All The Time!!! I Highly Recommend This Establishment.“

“Fausto’s always has amazing food! Had dinner with family there tonight! Everything was fantastic! The food is homemade and is delicious!“

“Everything is so delicious and healthy! I recommend the beet humus and crackers and the pb&j power balls!“

“There are a lot of mixed reviews here. Our experience was great! The lady behind the counter was super nice and answered the few questions we had. The cookies were amazing (lucky for us, it was a Dubai chocolate cookie week). Everything was clean, nice and pleasant. We'll be back!“

“Haven't been here in years! Got some tasty sandwiches and sweets today! Everything sill fresh and always beautiful in here. Lots of options!“

“Sweet T's made an extraordinary cake for my daughter's baby shower. Not only was it adorable but everyone loved the amazing cake itself.“

“Mollys is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Dori and GM Dritan and Avrielleas and Brooke are very nice. Amazing cupcakes. Must come back. 10/10.“

“As a busy working, traveling mom, I was trying to plan my precious daughter’s sixth birthday party when I was out of town and was in a bind because I didn’t order a cake I envisioned in advance. The bakery called me back promptly as I was sitting at the airport in Boston, I sent over a picture of the unicorn cake I envisioned, and they had it ready along with 2 dozen cupcakes that day! Also ordered their butter cookies and the broffee and it was all a huge hit with our guests. Thanks again for coming to the rescue. My daughter and her friends absolutely fell in love with the magical unicorn cake.“

“Huge thank you to Cindy! My baby was sleeping in the car and I didn’t want to wake her. I paid over the phone and cindy ran it out to my car. Great service!“

“These aren’t just cookies! They are a MEAL😊 Kudos to Carol’s Cookies for creating masterpieces!“

“At first taste I was hopelessly hooked. Suzanne and her staff have been baking the most delicious irresistible treats since 1986! Wow are we lucky and especially today with her distribution and availability spreading through the likes of Peapod, Whole Foods and more. Thank you Hot Cakes Bakery, I couldn't hope to even start my day off right without you“

“The staff and management of this shop are exceptional. They're so kind and welcoming, and a great community partner. We are so grateful that they've joined our neighborhood, and our kids love going here. It's fun to bring my kids to Jamba Juice, a place I enjoyed going when I was a teen, too!“

“Great thrift, bake shop and cafe! Haven’t visited the other services yet!“
