“You won’t be disappointed 🔥❤️“

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

“Amazing Pizza. Top notch staff and service. This place is a must try!!!“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“Delicious! Love the seats at the bar up front, and watching these folks handle their rushes is masterful. The Za'atar twist was super tasty and their nitro does the job. Their Co-Op Hot Sauce display is no joke and I left with 2! Next time, I'm getting the cinnamon roll because that thing looked Insane.“

“Great little place. Got there at 5:00, it closes at 6.... but by 5:30 it was packed with dinners at tables and picking up take out. Perhaps stay open until 7?? Seems like there's a lot of demand right after work gets out. Tried several things, but the savory menu was probably my favorite. BLT Biscuit was excellent with lots of thick cut bacon. The Sausage Biscuit was phenomenal, especially with the perfectly cooked jammy egg on top! The Chicken Pot Pie was also good, with excellent crust crammed full of nice thick filling, with plenty of meat. Then we tried the Quiche. Lovely fluffy texture in the eggs and tons of vegetables, again with a great crust. The two sweet pies we tried were the Key Lime and the Chicory Chocolate French Silk. I liked them both, wanted a little more greatness in the key lime - but for those who like the creamier smoother flavored key lines it would be perfect. The chocolate again was good but i craved a little bit more of an intense punch of flavor. Just my personal preferences. There was nothing i wouldn't eat again, and i think it was all very fairly priced. Nice bohemian atmosphere and great service. Definitely recommend.“

“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.“

“Wow, this bakery is amazing! I’ve been here twice, and everything is so delicious! Plus, everyone is super friendly. I usually get the chai spice roll (it’s the best!) and any savory pastry I’m in the mood for. They have such a wide variety of options. I’ll definitely be back every time!“

“it's the best Bakery around..“

“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!“

“Delicious goodies and bread. Amazing sandwiches and specialty items. Nicest family inthe world owns it! Been around forever. Always a stop when I go back to my hood as a kid.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I've been here twice now and I've enjoyed both experiences. I did a cake tasting and had a hard time choosing I went with a two tiered cake. Staff is really friendly and the atmosphere was really relaxing. Also tried and enjoyed the Mexican strawberry matcha world cup drink 🇲🇽“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

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

“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! 😊“

“The best thing about this cafe is that I do not live anywhere near it, so I can't go every day. But for real, everything I have had from them from savory to sweet has been absolutely fantastic, and I am not easy to please when it comes to baked goods. I cannot comment on the coffee, because I don't drink it.

But try a cookie! Or a scone! Or a biscuit!“

“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.“

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

“There cakes and delicious Italian desserts yummy !“

“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.“

“Mr. Cake makes such beautiful and delicious cakes. We were very surprised on how these turned out. I provided the picture for reference and the way they decorated both cakes was so beautiful. My kids loved them! I will keep ordering from them.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I have no doubt his place is going to be amazing.“

“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.“

“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“

“Pan Artesanal slaps every time.“

“I recently reached out to Mindy's for a birthday cake for my sisters birthday. The process was incredibly smooth to get my order in and confirmed. The woman who replied to my email request was kind, understanding and knowledgeable as she walked me through the whole process. They were clear up front about not doing heavy design work but since it's Mindy's, everything is always so good that I was here for the flavors not necessarily design. Then they suggested fresh flowers to lift the cake up and admittedly I had no idea how it would turn out. Well let me tell you all, this was the prettiest, best tasting cake I've ever had before. People stopped me as I was walking out with it to admire it. The people at the restaurant we hosted the party at wanted to know where it was from. Cakes are honestly such a center piece of a party and this cake did not disappoint. Mindy and her team are some of the best, most talented people around. Come support this shop whether it's for a bagel or a custom cake. Thank you, Mindy. Thank you Mindy's team!!“

“We went straight here when we got off our flight from Ohare and do not regret it! They were so nice! The owners greeted us and the staff were so friendly. The cheesecake was the best cheesecake I’ve had! Can’t wait to go back or at least order some online! 10/10 recommend!“

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

“Cupcakes are very good! I tried the Old Fashioned Chocolate, which is verryyyy rich so if that's your thing you'll love them, and the Vanilla Raspberry, which were my favorite-- not too heavy but the buttercream was fruit-forward and delicious. I think since I'm less of a frosting person I might opt for a cake next time for a better cake to frosting ratio, but these were great.“

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

“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!“

“The Reuben on toasted sesame seed bagel with Muenster cheese was great. So is their raspberry, apricot, chocolate drizzle and cinnamon raisin ruegalah. I went back today and it was just as good. The sesame seed bagel is so fresh and delicious. I doubled down on the ruegalah; two of each. 😋“

“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“

“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!“

“David from Iced Bakery went above and beyond to make a beautiful cake and cupcakes for a co-workers baby shower. Both were exactly what we asked for. He was very accommodating with what I was asking for and even the pick up time. The cake and cupcakes were delicious! Many of my co-workers said the same thing and asked for the bakery information which I gladly passed along. Do not hesitate to choose Iced Bakery for your next bakery need! I highly recommend Iced!“

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

“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.“

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