50 Best Bakeries near Franklin Park

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

“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.“

“Very friendly staff. Beautiful display :-) decent prices

Kid-friendliness: Wonderful place to bring your children to get quality baked goods that are not loaded in sugar.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair access from the corner.“

“They have great selection of deli meat and their soups are great. I am addicted to their cheesecake.“

“Everything in the store! Hilla & Margaret, the owners, always bake and cook the tastiest breakfasts, pastries, soups, sandwiches, breads and definitely pizzas ! Hot drinks are diverse and cold drinks perfect. I miss them terribly!“

“Charming spot off the Avenue Liberdade. Everything we ordered was delicious. We weren’t super hungry and didn’t order more than a salad, caprese pizza & wine but looked at the plates served to our neighbors who confirmed their food was as good as it looked. Our server, Daniel was super attentive and guided us to a great dinner.“

“The selection of baked goods is impressive, featuring everything from classic pastries to inventive seasonal specialties. For those seeking something sweeter, the cakes and desserts provide a tantalizing experience and it's a must-visit destination for anyone who appreciates the joy of good food. I can't wait to go back and try more of their tempting offerings!“

“Shipping staff are very nice people. Treated me like a person instead of just a trucker. First time I've been to a place that cared that they had to hold me there late because of a production problem. Brought me a pizza and a soda out to my truck for breakfast.“

“So, Babe had a taste for a blueberry muffin. We decided to stop in here. They did not have any muffins available at the moment BUT they had a blueberry donut. Needless to say, we walked out with a dozen assorted donuts. I've already eaten 3 and my taste buds are EXTREMELY satisfied 😍 The staff was super friendly and the establishment was very clean. Everything looked so delicious. I know we'll definitely go back again to try other pastries 😀 $21 for a dozen donuts. Definitely worth supporting a small business as opposed to Dunkin Donuts. . This place makes their donuts with love 💕 Well worth it 💕“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“This place is great but I had to stop going here. If I can't see a nutrition label or AT LEAST how many calories are in one of the donut I'll pass because what are we hiding here?? Other donut shops do and the fact I can see what kind of trouble I'm getting myself into actually helps me in my life 😅 Let me pick and choose my poison.“

“My company, Epiq Solutions, ordered a custom cake to mimic one of our products. We are an engineering company, so this is no easy task. Central Continental nailed it with the look and the taste! Well done, and thank you!“

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

“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. They have a wide variety of delicious pastries as well. I highly recommend Crescent Bakery. You will not be disappointed.“

“We ordered our wedding cake (with delivery) from Italian Bakery and all of our guests complimented it saying it was the best wedding cake they had. They also went above and beyond on the design and we received many compliments on the cookies and pastries we ordered. They did a great job!“

“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.“

“I have not found anything that I do not enjoy. All the dessert are wonderful“

“I drove up north from Andersonville after hearing great reviews about New York Bagel & Bialy fresh baked bagels, and was not disappointed. We went Saturday morning, around 10am. There was a line out the door, but it moved at a reasonable pace without anyone rushing around. It probably took no more than 10 minutes to order, and another 5-10 minutes to get our New York Breakfast sandwich and bagel/spread. They have a great selection of fresh baked desserts and sweets, which I'll be getting next time! Great price for the quality and quantity, and easy to share.“

“I went yesterday when visiting Chicago. I had never had it before but I went by the recommendations of Skokie residents and I was very impressed. I took 6 desserts home to Kentucky and my only regret is I didn’t take more oatmeal raisin cookies. Those were absolutely phenomenal.“

“Super! I stopped while on a walk. Huge selection and great coffee. I’ll be back.“

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

“Great taste food and very friendly staff!“

“We stopped the Lake Mills Oasis on our way back to Wisconsin and could not resist picking up 6 cupcakes at a table they had there. AMAZING…. Embarrassed to say we ate all six in one day. Each one was incredible but I think the carrot cake was our favorite. Seriously best cupcakes we ever had!!!“

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

“Adoro sus pasteles y sus chicos muy amables“

“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!“

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

“We drove from Genoa City Wisconsin because we heard how delicious everything was. We were NOT disappointed. The meat on our sandwiches, one corned beef and one pastrami, was piled high! Homemade brined pickles and bakery items exceeded our expectations. Worth the drive and we will be back.“

“I ordered cake for my wife's 50th birthday party. We received so many compliments. The cake was delicious and a work of art. I also had some other desserts from there and they were amazing, too. The staff was also very nice. We highly recommend Delightful Pastries.“

“Jorge, the owner, is an amazing person. We were looking for a cake larger than what was available, and despite it being close to closing time, he went above and beyond to make one for us within an hour. The cake turned out delicious! I highly recommend this small business for their exceptional customer service.“

“We tried two slices of cake and two pastries. The cakes were absolutely amazing — so light, fluffy, and delicious! We’ll definitely be coming back for more and can’t wait to try other flavors. The pastries looked beautiful, but we weren’t big fans of the filling — it had a pudding-like texture that just wasn’t to our taste. Still, that’s a personal preference, so I’m not taking off any stars for it!“
