“This place is a gem! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how kind and knowledgeable the staff was. The girl who helped me was so sweet, super patient, and explained everything perfectly. You can really tell they care about the customer experience and make sure you feel comfortable and taken care of. Now let’s talk about the lemonades—WOW. Infused and delicious, it was honestly one of the best lemonades I’ve ever had. And the baked goods? Incredible. Soft, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. Everything I tried was amazing, and I can’t wait to go back and try more. I seriously love, love, love this place. The staff, the products, the vibe—Blazed Bakery is on point. Thank you for such an awesome experience!“

“We ordered desserts for my daughter’s wedding sweet table this past weekend and it was a big hit. Guests couldn’t stop talking about the delicious treats! Thank you so much! This is the second family wedding we ordered desserts for!“

“The best thing about this cafe is that I do not live anywhere near it, so I can't go every day. But for real, everything I have had from them from savory to sweet has been absolutely fantastic, and I am not easy to please when it comes to baked goods. I cannot comment on the coffee, because I don't drink it.

But try a cookie! Or a scone! Or a biscuit!“

“Everyone keeps talking about the cakes but everyone has been missing out on the absolutely 5 star cookies! We were able to try these at work, thanks to the absolutely wonderful donation of their products to help share with the community on Friday’s and for this we are so grateful and want to wish you good luck because the taste is wonderful!“

“I absolutely recommend not only are the treats delicious but customer service is amazing.“

“There cakes and delicious Italian desserts yummy !“

“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.“

“Everything I have tasted from here had been excellent ,I am especially fond of their chocolate doughnuts,, sweet rolls and their Cannoli cake is great.“

“So today I had a friend in from out of town and we topped off our afternoon with a visit to Miski Bakery. I was dying to try the alfajores, and they did not disappoint! The very delicate morsels melted in our mouth, and the creamy luscious dollop of dulce de leche caramel was a perfect pairing. In addition we tried the Milhojas/Napoleons in two flavors the Lucuma pastry creme and also the dulce de leche. A thousand layers is correct, these were amazingly tall, crispy and filled with air, both were delicious but the Lucuma(a Peruvian fruit) pastry creme was the standout. It had such a delightful delicate flavor I had never tasted previously. After speaking with Carmen the owner I asked whether or not they ever carried Turrón de doñja Pepa. She just happened to have some freshly baked sitting on the tray behind the counter, but alas it was still awaiting its filling. This gives me a great reason to return and indulge in that special treat. It is prepared every other week. The service was warm and friendly. This is definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood you shouldn't miss out on. I will be returning often.“

“Welcoming, attentive, respectful and gracious hosts. Spending money here feels good for the soul.“

“Absolutely delicious cake that looked great too. ❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“We went straight here when we got off our flight from Ohare and do not regret it! They were so nice! The owners greeted us and the staff were so friendly. The cheesecake was the best cheesecake I’ve had! Can’t wait to go back or at least order some online! 10/10 recommend!“

“Drove 45 minutes and well worth the trip. I couldn’t choose…so I bought quiche, key lime, chocolate chess, chocolate cream and pecan pies. All fantastic, but the pecan is my absolute fave. Go here. Your taste buds will never forgive you if you don’t!“

“A true authentic Italian pastries. i am not a sweets eater but i can't stop eating them. you can definitely tell they are authentic Italian pastries. And knowing that they are made from first generation Italian family takes me straight in Italy in my imagination“

“excelente comida los rellenitos deliciosos y las longanizas 10 de 10... local limpio personal muy amable“

“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.“

“everything is good!! family owned!!“

“This place has the friendliest people working there! It’s always clean and the people working there always greet you so kindly and with a smile. Been other places and completely night and day. This will be my preferred store while in Winnetka.“

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

“Super friendly guys there. This was my 2nd Crumbl stop tonight as the 1st one off Golf (across from golf mill mall) did not honor my free bulls mini cookie. They said they didn’t have any chocolate chip cookies. So I called the one off Touhy Ave in Niles and the fellow named Cesar was super friendly and helpful and said they’d honor it. So I drove there and they did! At the store, Cesar was super friendly and the other fellow working there too. So nice compared to the employees at the Crumbl near me in Skokie. I avoid that location at all costs! They (Skokie location) have no customer service skills and would benefit from some training in customer service. Could learn a thing or two from Cesar and his coworker.“

“I ordered cake for my wife's 50th birthday party. We received so many compliments. The cake was delicious and a work of art. I also had some other desserts from there and they were amazing, too. The staff was also very nice. We highly recommend Delightful Pastries.“

“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!“

“Everyone keeps talking about the cakes but everyone has been missing out on the absolutely 5 star cookies! We were able to try these at work, thanks to the absolutely wonderful donation of their products to help share with the community on Friday’s and for this we are so grateful and want to wish you good luck because the taste is wonderful!“

“The Best Subs In Town Hands Down💯♥️💪🏾“

“They have great selection of deli meat and their soups are great. I am addicted to their cheesecake.“

“The prices can be a bit too much in this economy for sweets but also with the way the world is set, theres only a few things that bring joy to a person and why not a delicious treat for yourself. The Dubai sandwich cookie is definitely keeping me way too active this week🤤🫶🏼“

“Great taste food and very friendly staff!“

“A huge THANK YOU to Central Continental Bakery for creating the most beautiful, delicious cake for my daughters baby shower. I cannot tell you how many guests asked me where it was from. Their attention to detail is extraordinary. Their patience (Bobby) was above and beyond and he really listened to my description of what I was trying to achieve. THANK YOU! Thank you for making our special day even that much more beautiful!“

“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.“

“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!“
