“Smallcakes is a cupcake lover's paradise. Their cupcakes are not just treats, but little works of art. The flavors are innovative and the frosting is heavenly. I especially loved the Red Velvet cupcake - a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Definitely recommend anybody with a sweet tooth to visit here at least once.“

“Went to pick up my free Birthday cake!! Everyone is so nice!!“

“The lemon ricotta cookies are amazing! Also Spimoni or Italian ice are delicious as well!“

“So long Sprinkles. I have a new favorite cupcake bakery —Courageous Cupcake. They are moist, delicious and made with fresh quality ingredients. The employees are super friendly and kind.“

“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.“

“OMG WOW! Amazing bakery! I go to tons of bakeries & I think this is the best one in Oak Park & one of the best in Chicagoland! I LOVED everything I tried from the cookies, to muffins to scones. Super high quality & extremely fresh products. Some of the pastries were still warm from the oven as I got there right at 8 am when they open. Even then, there was a little line out the door. Many people got coffee drinks but I didn’t this time. They also have $2 wonky cookies (just weirdly shaped cookies) that are a great deal. I tried: chocolate chip cookie, banana bread, vegan chocolate muffin (extra delish), goat cheese chili scone (excellent) & the wonky birthday cookie (amazing & buttery - melts in your mouth). Can’t wait to go back & try other things! Please note the place is tiny with only a few tables & chairs & there’s metered street parking so I took my order to go.

10.25.24 update: the kale salad done is truly amazing! The toasted coconut cake was sooo good and the chiffon cake was delightful. The savory corn biscuit was good but I preferred the scone, which is totally worth traveling for.“

“Today, 20 Sep my daughter brought home a dozen chocolate donuts. I was shocked when I opened the box. Apparently your bakery is downsizing the donuts. Much smaller and worse of all , what happened to the chocolate coating on the donuts. Did you run out? They use to be smothered with chocolate. Very disappointed.“

“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“

“I had ordered a whipped cream cake with cannoli and custard filling it was delicious all the guests loved it and the birthday girl was so happy it's her favorite you did a wonderful job thank you. Danita“

“Best eggplant perm sandwich ever!“

Thank you again so so much!“

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

“This is the best Japanese bakery around. I have been coming here for years. The bread is so delicious you can eat it by itself and it is also the perfect bread for sandwiches and even French Toast.

“I was very pleased with Auntie Anne's location upstairs in North Riverside Mall, Store number 1299. The staff is super kind and very attentive. I noticed the manager was on top of having all products fresh and ready to serve to customers, and the ladies working on the floor made me feel comfortable in selecting a freshly baked pretzel.“

“Great place to get all your yummy cakes, cookies, pastries and focaccia. Love going to the bakery on the weekend to get what I need for the week. Weekend girls are great, friendly and polite. They always keep the place clean and organized and stocked. Fanni ,#1, is the best! Anytime I go in there by myself or with my family, she always has a smile on her face. I love how she greets her customers and knows them by their first name. Make sure you go in and try all their goodies. Just a reminder, they only take cash.“

“There cakes and delicious Italian desserts yummy !“

“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.“

“This place is both beautiful the cakes and macaroons are the best I’ve ever had pricey but worth it for a special occasion . I highly recommend“

“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.“

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

“Love this bakery. Have been going there for years. Always has delicious pastry treats.“

“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!“

“Always a great place to stop for quiche and coffee. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Very nice restaurant and delicious food For the first time there i am very thankful to our server Dilnaz and specially the girl Sky who explained and recommended what should I try and make sure everything was OK Thank you Thank you“

“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.“

“Everythig I have bought from them is delicious! 10/10“

“Thank you so much for putting together the 150 miniconchitas for our event photos with Santa. Your attention to detail and delicious creations truly made the event magical. The miniconchitas were a hit with everyone, adding a special touch to our festive photos. We couldn't have asked for better service or tastier treats.

Highly recommend !! for any event or special occasion!“
