“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“

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

“We stopped in today on a tip and what a delicious treat! Highly recommend!“

“The people running this place are delightful, and all of their food is so good it's unreal. I don't even like cake on a good day, but after trying their cup cake (the peanut butter chocolate one), I went back for seconds and thirds.“

“Eat here. This is the best bakery and cafe in the area, with a delightful and inventive menu (try the rad hash), caring vibe, and an extraordinary amount of care put into every aspect of the experience. Items that are a weak afterthought at other cafes, like a side salad, are consistently fresh and delicious here. I have eaten at many of the best known and instagrammed restaurants in Chicago and I would rather eat at SBK than anywhere else.“

“Amazing service and vibe. The chicken pot pie is addicting. My nephew is visiting since my mom had surgery in Rockford. I picked up pot pies the last 3 Saturdays to take to Rockford and they cannot get enough.

Also, I am now officially a grits fan thanks to Bang Bang Pie 😍“

“We’re huge fans of The Bear, which steered us here on our Chicago trip - so glad we found this place! We loved the mushroom adobo and longnanisa breakfast sandwich! The mango tarts were amazing, as were our lattes. We left with an apple hand pie to eat the following morning, which was still had perfectly crispy pastry. Definitely worth the hour wait to get in.“

“Always loved their Greek pastries, they are the best, started going to them 60 yrs ago with my mom and dad. We were always going to Hellas for our parties baptisms and weddings. All our holiday needs were easily available for us. Unfortunately, we moved out to Poplar Grove, Illinois near Belvedere and have missed them greatly. Always love them and it brings a tears to my eyes, that they are still around. God bless them. My parents knew the owners personally.“

“It’s my first time to eat Nhulan Chicago, a Vietnamese cuisine, it was a wonderful experience !!!“

“We love everything at Vesuvio. The best freshly frozen pizzas anywhere. Shop local keep family run businesses going ❤️❤️“

“I love the fresh food , reasonable prices and how polite and helpful the ladies are. I have been going to this bakery for over 18 years. I moved far from it, and I drive an hour to come buy from there.“

“Got there 15 mins before it opened and wasn’t one of the first 30 people in line, that’s when you know this bakery is going to be amazing! When I finally walked the I was greeted by the nice and knowledgeable staff. My savory dish was the bacon brioche and it was phenomenal! Crispy on the outside but soft in the inside. My first sweet bite was the salted caramel brown butter blondie brownie. It was delicious! They even let you choose a center or corner piece. My favorite pastry was the banana pudding croissant, it was even better than I thought it would be. I also got the basque cheesecake which was well prepared but the time I went they had peanut butter on it which I’m not a fan of. But I’m willing to try it again when they have a different flavor. Such a great bakery, will definitely come back.“

“Shout out for the perfect Pastries for my daughter’s shower!“

“it's the best Bakery around..“

“There cakes and delicious Italian desserts yummy !“

“The cheesecake, macarons and panna Cotta was fabulous! The owners are so very nice with a lovely business.“

“Welcome to Roscoe Village. Oh my goodness, this place is soo much better than the Starbucks that was there previously. I hope you are able to put a few small tables on the sidewalk when the weather is nice. It is the perfect little neighborhood spot for a delicious coffee & croissant.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had Maria and Ashley was very amazing with giving the best experience to customers no matter who you are and the food just as good, the whole team there could be seen giving their all, will definitely come again with friends!!“

“Cada vez que visito Chicago, se que siempre tengo que dar una visita aquí. Hacen el pan tan delicioso y siempre me recuerda a mi linda Guatemala. Ayer pude comprar tamales y chiles rellenos 👌🏽 no decepcionaron. Recomiendo probar el pan dulce y comida de aquí. Muy delicioso y no puedo esperar a mi siguiente visita!“

“North Shore Bakery Rocks!! I have been going to this amazing Bakery since High School and let me tell you..... I love the bagels, challah bread, and cinnamon coffee cake. They make the best baked goods in town. I wanted to mention and recognize Ayellet for her hard work and dedication to the business and her customers. When I go into the store for my baked goods I always get a welcome with a smile. North Shore Bakery always makes me feel like I am there only customer they have! Thank you for your amazing selections, presentation, and kind approach to the art of baking and customer service! It does not go unnoticed. Thank you for continuing to be open during these difficult times we are facing.“

“Excellent! Thank you so much for the Fatayer, will be back for more! Baklava, Date cookies, Dubai chocolate:)“

“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.“

“Our server was amazing! Had a wonderful time ❤️“

“Broken Tart is honestly one of our favorite coffee spots around Oak Park. The staff is always professional and welcoming, and the whole place just has a great vibe. Their coffee is so delicious,smooth, flavorful, and always consistent. And their pastries are next level. Everything tastes as good as it looks. The inside is cozy and clean, and the outdoor seating is perfect when you want to relax for a bit. Just a great place all around.“

“Best bakery ever!!! Absolutely everything is delicious!!!“

“Pan Artesanal slaps every time.“

“Had a Ferrara 9" cake last week at a small 50th birthday celebration. Best layer cake ever experienced in my 77 years!“

“The cookies were perfect and the chai is also good. It’s a nice variety of pastries from traditional to interesting flavors. They also have the most reasonable prices I’ve seen in the city, (like pre-COVID pricing—croissants for example are $5 while other places I’ve visited are $6-10) and no tipping option, which tells me they pay their employees a living wage. It’s also a quiet, cute little oasis. I will definitely be returning.“

“I absolutely recommend not only are the treats delicious but customer service is amazing.“

“fantastic fresh and tasty cookies~ but, their brownies are even better😍🙌 I received a corporate freebie from NJC. When my package arrived it was not in perfect condition....having traveled through a snow storm and a holiday weekend...it was disappointing..(FedEx, not them) I called them to say hello and alert them to my sadness....They not only replaced the promo box, but added extra goodies and shipped it overnight with a sweet message from the owner. 👍😍 First Class all the way...And, AMAZING sweets! I'd recommended this company for any corporate gift program. Thanks Jonathan.“

“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.“

“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“

“I luv Namit Cafe, The food is good Owner is very friendly You feel like you're part of the family Good luck guys Luv you all“

“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!“

“I had never tried Korean pastries before and these were amazing! Bertha was so kind and explained all the different options and I chose the savory bread, mocha and a small sampler of chestnut, green tea and mocha. The savory bread was the perfect mashup of the best egg roll filling stuffed in a pillowy bread with a crunchy top. So amazing. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“This is the best bakery in Chicago (on Earth?). We were ordering when he was slingin’ pastries out of BC up the street. You cannot get better stuff in Chicago.“

“Thank you soo much for making my son's first birthday cake so special! The cake was so beautiful & tasted absolutely delicious. It was very moist! The flavor was vanilla with layers of buttercup & cream cheese frosting. Everyone at the party took extra slices home, we had no left over cake, that's how good it was.“

“Delicious baked goods. Highly recommend!“

“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! 😊“

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

“they always have delicious Mexican bread100% very nice people that work there....come and see for yourself🙋“

“We worked with Sweet Temptations to create our dream wedding cake and WOW is this team impressive. Looking back at our wedding photos, it is truly impossible to tell the difference between the inspiration photo sent and the cake delivered to our venue. It was GORGEOUS! In addition, the flavor was out of this world. They even sent a custom box to package our top tier for easy transportation after the reception. From planning to delivery to execution, Sweet Temptations exceed all expectations. Photo credit: Emma Petersen Photography“

“We walked past this spot on our way to the book store. My son spotted it right away and insisted we stop. I got a chocolate chip cookie and it was amazing. I was surprised by how soft and tasty the cookie was.

Overall, a great spot to get a tasty cookie treat.“

“Welcoming, attentive, respectful and gracious hosts. Spending money here feels good for the soul.“

“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.“
