“OMG, this place is Chicago's bakery for a reason. They did our wedding cakes (why get one when you can two at twice the price, lol...) and we also got this DELICIOUS "Cherry Yogurt Gateau" for a recent birthday. Gosh, this place kicks those cheap grocery store sheet cakes to the curb with all the flavor and quality!Thanks again, Oak Mill: your cakes rule!!! :D“

“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!“

“Hard to not get everything behind the pastry counter! Delicious pastry assortment, savory and sweet-something for everyone! Don’t skip on the pimento biscuit. Super crispy and great balance of buttery, cheesy, perfect amount of pimento in the middle. Coffees tasted great. Wasn’t super busy on a Sunday at 9 but I could see it picking up a bit later. Plenty of seating inside and outside.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Fritoe or wtv her name is was very good at attending me she recommended me her favorite cookies and they were buss i will always come back to this location because she knows what she’s doing. I think this is the same girl who donated to my Charity such a sweet girl.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Sad that their Schaumburg location is closing but happy they’re expanding! Both the owner and staff are wonderful. They have the best homemade cream cheese filling. I don’t go anywhere else for Japanese pastries. Try their beef curry croquet or any of their ube bread! Both are fantastic.“

“Eli's Cheesecake is hands down one of the best places for cheesecake. I've been here a couple of times, and it never disappoints. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and they have a huge selection of cheesecakes to choose from. I usually go for the sampler so I can try a few different flavors, and the tiramisu is another one of my favorites. Everything is fresh, rich, and delicious. Love this place and will definitely keep coming back!“

“The food has consistently been excellent, I have stopped in several occasions, each time the food is consistently fresh and tasteful. The beverages are always of my preference, when I requested a non-sweet beverage a while ago, I was provided with the most suitable beverage from a gracious lady with glasses and brown hair. The entire staff has been extremely helpful, as well as courteous in answering every question. I will always recommend them!“

“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.“

“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.“

“everything is good!! family owned!!“
