“10 STARS

What a treat! After enjoying late lunch at Piccolo Buco, our family was definitely in the mood for something sweet, and who better to guide us than my niece, who clearly knows all the best spots! We popped in, and right away, Haleema and Nakiah who was working there last night, greeted us with such a bright, welcoming energy. Their kindness and cheerfulness really set a lovely tone for our visit – it’s always wonderful when the staff makes an experience even better.

We started with some cookies, and they were absolutely spot-on. The chocolate chip, velvet Oreo, and semi-sweet chocolate chip cookies were all beautifully soft and warm, and my kids were over the moon with them. But then came the real discovery! My niece introduced me to the Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup, and as a self-proclaimed connoisseur of all things strawberry and chocolate, I was instantly captivated.

Seriously, you guys, when I tell you this was hands down THE BEST Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup I’ve ever tasted, I'm not exaggerating! Every single layer was pure perfection: the juicy, fresh strawberries, the delightful crunch of the kataifi pastry, the incredibly smooth and creamy pistachio butter, and then, sealing the deal, that decadent Belgian milk chocolate. The execution was flawless, and each bite was an absolute dream. We were so smitten that we ended up ordering 2! It’s a bit of a bummer that we don’t live closer, but we’re absolutely thrilled to have found a new go-to place for truly exceptional dessert.

Great hire manager! Haleema and Nakiah deserves a raise.“

“Absolutely delicious cake that looked great too. ❤️“

“My toddler offered this review when she said the following after she took a bite of the tomato and basil scone, "Pizza! So yummy!"“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“Best cakes and desserts for events“

“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!“

“I went in today it was absolutely amazing, so clean and well decorated and super cute!!! The selection was wide and had very yummy flavors to choose from. The staff was fantastic so friendly and warm 💝💝 absolutely will be going back“

“A young lady that i met today asked me if I've ever visited this place and told her I've never heard of it. She told me that they had really good Matcha Lattes, so I decided to stop by there today. The Latte was very good and the service was excellent 👌 thank you so much Mina“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I do think these are the best donuts in Chicago area, or that I've ever had, specifically the glaze and the chocolate. I'm from Texas and have high standards for simple yeast donuts. The Chicago area is really lacking in independent donut shops, so when I found these, I was so happy. I found the original D&Ds location a couple of years ago, but was happy when this location opened as it's closer to me. There is a very professional and kind young man that we've seen work the register at the shop a couple of times, and the owner always offers up samples to newbies, so the service here is great. The food and service are truly 5 stars.
The only downfall of this place is, as other reviews have mentioned, there have been multiple times I've tried to come during business hours, and they are unexpectedly closed for the day. And I'm left heartbroken. To avoid this, I would definitely call before heading there. I won't stop going because I truly believe in their product, but I definitely won't head there unless I've confirmed they're open.“

“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! ♥️♥️♥️“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“They have wonderful customer service and the treats are amazing. I will definitely stop in again. This was my first time visiting.“

“The best in the northwest suburbs ❤️“

“came upon this place when we arrived at the Ronald Mc Donald house in Hines. we were met by Joana who made us feel so welcome and we felt right at home. we had to go back before we went home to meet her again. Kids adore this place as do we. definitely worth a trip, nice coffee too. well done Joana xx we will miss you but stay in touch“

“We went there for the first time yesterday. The staff is really helpful and friendly. I got the apple slice, oatmeal cranberry cookies and a raspberry kolaczki. The apple slice and the oatmeal cookies were some of the best I’ve had in a while. I haven’t gotten around to the kolaczki yet but I’m sure it’s delicious as well“

“Absolutely love this bakery! The people who work here are some of the sweetest and most welcoming you'll ever meet. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and everything is always fresh and delicious.
If you stop by, be sure to ask for Olivia—she makes the best coffee! Her drinks are always perfect and made with care.
And the gelato? Incredible. It tastes just like you're in Italy. Every flavor is rich, creamy, and authentic. This place is truly a gem, and I can't recommend it enough!“
