50 Best Bakeries near Downers Grove

“The mango cloud cake was absolutely phenomenal, super light yet flavorful and fresh! I will definitely be back for it!

However the savory pastry collection was minimal. For someone with vegetarian diet, the options were down to only one thing. Please look into expanding the selection for us.“

“Always great food and I love the different specials! My favorites are the harvest medley chicken salad, acorn squash soup, broccoli cheddar soup, many of the sandwiches; I love all the cookies and the pecan braid! It would be the perfect place if they could offer some gluten free options for their pastries and the breads. Wonderful, friendly, helpful staff.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious cake that looked great too. ❤️“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Delicious baked goods. Highly recommend!“

“The cakes, cookies and pies are delicious but, more important the staff is professional yet extra nice, friendly and polite 👍🏾“

“We stopped by here to pick up some pastries for the office and tried out their strawberry danish. Absolutely amazing! This is our new spot for office sweets. Plus the customer service was fantastic!“

“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! 😊“

“I got a cloud cake during mother's day and the staff was super nice, they even included something to cut the cake, some candles and a mother's day decoration. The cake was phenomenal.... it was just perfectly sweet and soft. I absolutely recommend that you try something from this place“

“This little bakery/cafe is a hidden gem! They have a huge variety of fruit teas and milk teas! their cakes and sweet treats are beautiful and super trendy! We love the can cakes and the ice taro mochi cakes!“

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

“My favorite birthday cake that I’ve ever had! Decorated beautifully and tasted great. The frosting had just the right amount of sugar and was so smooth and the best frosting I’ve ever had! The cake was very moist. The macarons on top were also very good! The strawberry macaron tasted like a fresh strawberry. I will order all my cakes from her in the future!“

“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“

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

“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! ♥️♥️♥️“

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

“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.“

“Amazing donuts! They have lots of unique flavors and the staff are always friendly and kind. My favorite is the old fashioned 😋“

“Very good and friendly Costumer service and their bread great Quality.“

“Tres leches cake is really good“

“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!“

“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.“

“Awesome place and convenient location“

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“Too sweet always under cooked plus no mo bday free cookie no thanks ill pass tooo doughy like it’s not a doughnut 🍩 lol people be on they jobs cooking baking wit an attitude not ever gonna taste 👅 perfect 😍 if ya dontbaddd loads and loads of love 💘 not attitude rude cause she always be there cooking the darn cookies wrong I told her how to improve in Store 🏬 but she wanted payment for chewy doughnut 🍩 cookies 🍪 not cooked thru im cool I told her we could get sick 🤢 she said who cares longs as I got cookies to sell then hey im selling them I said ok“

“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!!!!!“

“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.“

“I was looking for a place to get an edible image and I couldn’t find any where near me to do it. The next option wouldn’t have been online but I wouldn’t receive it until a week and half later. I was blessed to find Hansen’s Edible Photos. She was quick to respond to my inquiry and as soon as we were done speaking she had already completed an image for me to see by email. Once I payed it she sent it out asap . I received it in a day and half. Miss Pam is an angel because she was quick to get my order out and on time and gave me a finished protect we are truly pleased with. We will be ordering from her again! Thank you so much Miss Pam! ❤️“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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’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.“

“Most delicious, most beautiful chocolates and their mochas beat any coffee shop in downtown Naperville hands-down.“

“This location has always been my go to when it comes to getting cake/pastries/savories. The store is always clean and well maintained. The staff are exceptional. One time I got the arroz caldo and had a great conversation with Ate Vicky. She’s very nice and such a welcoming employee to customers😊. Can’t say a bad thing about this location at all, and I would always try to come by to this whenever I can.“

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

“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.“
