Bakeries near Downers Grove

“Great place. The first driveway is where shipping/receiving is at, but if you want to park overnight take the second driveway and go up on the hill past the employee parking. 30 minute unloading and nice people. I posted a picture of where I spent the night.“

“First time coming to this Panera Bread location. They have two kiosks you can use to order food or you can go to the register. For some reason, if you order at the register it takes them like 5 mins to actually come over and assist you. I’m not sure what the delay was since you can literally see what they’re doing. After they come to the register, things go more smoothly. I ordered a bacon double take, spinach and bacon soufflé, and an orange juice. The food was all good and hot. Panera makes some tasty breakfast items, they just need to work on their customer service more. Prices are slightly expensive for what you get. Just a FYI, apparently this is where older people come to drink coffee and people watch lol.“

“I like crumbl. However, as someone who competed in the Scripps national spelling bee, I just can't ignore the fact that crumble is spelled wrong. I mean, who really knows why they just left of the E. Like is it supposed to be CRUMB L like do I want my cookies to be in Crumbs and then take the L. Im just confused. I would really appreciate some feedback.“

“Lovely spot in downtown Westmont! Sweet and savory food options that are all delicious. We really enjoy going to this unique spot for breakfast and brunch.“

“The best cookies that I tried!
When I went for the first time I needed a seller because this work like self service, they help me and were so kind. Cookies are expensive but so delicious. The store is too small and it’s confuse because there are two lines, one for order and one for pickup, because of the size of the store it’s kind a mess“

“Absolutely delicious cake that looked great too. ❤️“

“Worth the drive from Chicago! Delicious and fresh every time! 🍩“

“I am a HUGE fan of Area 51 and knew that I had to have their delicious cake and cupcakes for my wedding! Best dessert table ever! The cake we got for cutting was beautiful, and the cupcakes were amazing. I was able to pick some of my favorites (cannoli, key lime, Boston cream, etc.) and I got so many compliments from our guests! Thank you!!“

“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!“

“Great customer service! Cakes are soooo delicious !!😋😋😋“

“We ordered our wedding cake (with delivery) from Italian Bakery and all of our guests complimented it saying it was the best wedding cake they had. They also went above and beyond on the design and we received many compliments on the cookies and pastries we ordered. They did a great job!“

“Buckeye Brownie cookie is to die for!!!“

“I have not found anything that I do not enjoy. All the dessert are wonderful“

“For the best options and variety, it's best to visit earlier in the day, preferably before noon.

They have a wide variety of pastries and other sweets. I like the cloud cake and the sausage/hot dog bread roll.

Staff is polite and courteous, always willing to help and provide guidance based on your tastes. The place is neat and clean and there are a few tables for you to sit down and dine in.

Pricing is reasonable.“

“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.“

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

“Wow! - we couldn't have been more impressed with the decoration and tastiness of our daughter's graduation cake. We all agreed we'll be back for years to come.“

“We stopped the Lake Mills Oasis on our way back to Wisconsin and could not resist picking up 6 cupcakes at a table they had there. AMAZING…. Embarrassed to say we ate all six in one day. Each one was incredible but I think the carrot cake was our favorite. Seriously best cupcakes we ever had!!!“

“This place is great but I had to stop going here. If I can't see a nutrition label or AT LEAST how many calories are in one of the donut I'll pass because what are we hiding here?? Other donut shops do and the fact I can see what kind of trouble I'm getting myself into actually helps me in my life 😅 Let me pick and choose my poison.“

“Incredible breakfasts with lots of food. The bacon avocado omlet was filled with fresh avocado and served with a large side of hash browns and a delicious larger biscuit. Very good coffee. Our waitress was lackluster. She never recommended anything, asked whether we had ever been there nor asked us how our food was. She also never asked whether we needed anything after receiving our entrees and it was very difficult to get a second cup of coffee. We had to wait a long time for it. She looked surprised when I politely pointed out my hash browns were not served with the rest of our food. Luckily I received them. Realized we needed more napkins after she left, but she never came back. Would have loved jam for the biscuit like in the picture and a third cup of coffee. I would have also ordered beignets to take home. In spite of the service, I would love to come back. Hopefully will have a different server. I wasn’t aware of all the different coffee drinks and would have loved recommendations. I realize the work is hard as I did it myself years ago, but such good food deserves a better server to showcase it.“

“they have the best danishes you can find. it's like old time bakery. we need more places like the Lilac Bakery. I highly recommend anyone try it“

“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!“

“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.“

“Do not miss a chance to get a sub from this wonderful shop attached to the bakery here. The ladies inside were very friendly and welcoming and the sandwich was a 10 out of 10. Fresh bread, fresh ingredients, I even watched her snip a few basil leaves off their basil plant in the front window for my sub. Just a really fantastic little shop. Be aware it is cash only but please don't let that stop you.“

“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.“

“Pre-ordered my cookie crumble. The app was very easy to deal with walked in and my cookies were ready. Service was impeccable, and the cookies were just as delicious.

Parking: Great parking for a handicap accessible usage ! Friendly staff always willing to help

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking is very helpful !“

“These cinnamon rolls are so fresh! Soft, plump, warm, mmmmm. I recommend coming here. It will change your life. Sylvia, Brewed Awakenings“

“After receiving notification of an order delivery cancellation, I called the store (I was sending from out of state) it was quickly addressed with professionalism and kindness from the staff. Then as an added surprise, they had sent my recipient a box of minis as well as my original order!! That was above and beyond, unexpected and very appreciated. Thank y’all SO MUCH!!“

“Very friendly staff. Beautiful display :-) decent prices

Kid-friendliness: Wonderful place to bring your children to get quality baked goods that are not loaded in sugar.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair access from the corner.“

“Delicious baked goods. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

“Tres leches cake is really good“

“Cake was AMAZING and my hubby picked out all my flavors and they did a fantastic job on the highland cow!! Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“Sandwiches here are PREMIUM. You are paying more because you are getting more. Could they drop the cost of each sandwich 2-3 dollars? Sure, but you’re guaranteed your value if you order their chicken Parmesan style sandwhich. The Coppola. They filled this thing with a solid amount of chicken filets and it was delicious. I eat a lot and was only able to down half of it. Saved the rest for later so it provided me 2 meals. I think it’s a little silly that it’s one of the cheaper sandwiches considering it’s bigger. The only negative to my experience here was the fact that this is being ran out of the side of Il Poggiolos bar. The entrance door looks legitimate but once u enter it’s very tight and uncomfortable especially when Poggiolo is packed. Other than that I definitely recommend checking this place out!“

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

“Absolutely delicious cake that looked great too. ❤️“

“Awesome place and convenient location“

“I recently ordered a cupcake decorating kit through their curbside pickup to send to my sisters and brother-in-law. I'm still very impressed with how responsive the owner, Norma, was to my emails and appreciate how thoughtful she was. She asked if I wanted to include a personal message to my sisters and brother-in-law, and I found out today that all of them really enjoyed the cupcakes. I can only imagine how hard it must be for small businesses like this one during these unprecedented times, but I'm glad that I was able to surprise my sisters and support them at the same time. I'm really looking forward to trying their baked goods in person one day!“

“Small mom and pop shop with the best baked goods I've ever had. If you're nice and tip, they give great service. Good selections and helpful staff.

They use all natural ingredients and only butter so our family feels better after eating here.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ms. Pat was an absolute lifesaver! I needed edible pictures at the very last minute, and she came through with professionalism, speed, and incredible quality. She was kind, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The images turned out beautifully and were a huge hit! I truly appreciate her flexibility and talent—she turned a stressful situation into a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Ms. Pat to anyone in need of custom edible images. She’s reliable, creative, and genuinely cares about her customers. I will definitely be returning for future orders!“

“Can’t wait to bring the special Ramadan cake to dinner tonight! So happy to have this bakery near me to help make our holiday special!“

“Kudos to Bella, she is an exemplary employee of this location. She went above and beyond by even serving us our glass of water such a sweet gesture. She took care of our orders like a pro. Moreover, Manager Vanessa was impressive as well in ensuring to empower her staff by recognizing Bella as a great employee. Kudos to both 2 excellent employees🥰“

“This bakery is the BEST in the area! She has made my son’s birthday cakes for the last three years. Not only is every single cake (and other baked goods) absolutely delicious and high quality, but her artistic ability to come up with a design that matches the theme of my son’s interests is unmatched. Highly highly highly recommend Black Cat!!!“

“Genuinely amazing pastries & drinks, I’ve visited Lasa Cafe twice, and on the first visit I got a bit carried away and got one of each pastry I saw, unfortunately no pictures from that occasion!

I’ve tried their Pan De Sal, Ube Cheese Pan De Sal, Spanish Bread, Asado & Corned Beef rolls, Ensaimada, Ube Panna Cotta, and then of course the Bibingka & Bibingkinitan. Everything was delicious and unfamiliar to me, all flavors of the Bibingkinitan were terrific, which included, Ube, Pandann, Banana & Salted Egg.

Not only was I surprised by the quality and flavor profiles of the pastries, but the drinks caught my eye too. On the first visit, I had the Ube Matcha iced latte— the matcha was very traditional and high quality tasting, then the subtle sweetness and nuttiness of the ube complimented it just right.
The second drink I’ve tried was the Saba Con Yelo, a delicious blended banana drink that had some sort of tiny pearls inside and almost a flan-like custard on top. Definitely getting it again.

This is a great Filipino cafe to get into if unfamiliar with that cuisine of food/desserts like myself. The workers themselves are very nice and greeted me upon entering and exiting, patient and helpful when asked various different questions.

I highly recommend anyone to come here!“
