Bakeries near Harwood Heights

“This Bakery is just die for! Their pastries, cakes and bread are literally a work of Art. It is a Polish natured Bakery, but they have it All! The quality is like no other, not overly sweet , just perfect! I've never had chocolate and pastries that hit all the taste buds but wasn't overly done. I recommend this bakery, very Classy. I will be back!“

“Love Kasama! I’ve been back each time I visit the city and the breakfast is banging. I know the sandwich + hash-brown is iconic and a must try but their other food is equally as delicious. Would highly recommend ordering online to skip the line if you don’t plan to eat inside.“

“Just incredible. There are no words for how impressive this bakery is. The owner is an absolute angel, the desserts are insanely delicious and the aesthetic is perfect. This is my go to for any special occasions. I even have non vegan friends/family that request Pie Pie for their birthdays. I cannot recommend supporting this business enough. My personal favorite flavors are banana split, chocolate strawberry, and nutter butter.“

“What an absolutely wonderful experience! The people working were helpful, kind and full of suggestions. We got a tiramisu "cookie" which had the texture of a moon pie, not sweet, just perfect in flavor. The brioche with sausage, egg, cheese paired perfectly with a coffee. The shortbread with dark chocolate, sea salt and strawberries was delightful. Lastly, the chocolate chip, sea salt and tahini cookie was a pleasant surprise. Overall, I'm definitely coming back. For those flavors it was worth every penny.“

“Small interior, but very nice outdoor patio space to eat at. Started with the chicken pot pie. Nice crispy crust and a great balance of peas, carrots, and chicken. Great flavors but the chicken was a little overcooked messing with the overall texture of the pie filling. The reason I came was to try a sweet pie and ended up getting the chocolate pud’n. The pudding and cocoa whipped cream had perfect consistencies with the pudding being slightly thicker. Dark chocolate curls on top being a nice touch and everything being encompassed by the crust which reminded me of brownie brittle. The slice was not overly sweet but gave me all the chocolate flavor I needed. Can’t wait to come back and try some of their other sweet pies as well the mushroom pot pie.“

“I was parking and saw a crowd of people hovering around a storefront like they were waiting for doors to open for the Nordstrom Semi Annual Sale! Thus, I had to walk over and see what all the fuss was about. Tons of people were waiting outside in the cold for pastries. I looked at the menu on the window and noticed all the pastries are gluten free and they have a large selection of vegan options! There were so many vegan options that I bared the cold trying to make a decision. I settled on the vegan brownie. The staff were all friendly and processed orders quickly. While walking, I tasted a piece of the vegan brownie. It was simply, AMAZING! I can’t wait to go back and try other vegan pastry options.“

“Absolutely delicious! So light and airy with amazing flavors! Plus friendly service. The lady that helped me was also very sweet to my dog, she even came around to pet her and give her a treat. (She made sure to wash her hands immediately after!) I'll be back!“

“This place is our new favorite for a casual brunch/lunch. We've been a few times now; the food is always out of this world good, we love the setup and service, and enjoy peeking at the grocery & bakery items — we'll have to try those next.“

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

“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“

“Panaderia paradise is what this place is. If I weren't so happy with them, I would be angry that they've set the bar for panaderías so high that now I would pass on ones that are closer to me just to make the trip here. For me this really is worth going out of my way for. My go to has been rebanada de mantequilla, buñuelos and of course churros, exceptionally good churros. How good? Well, I had one cold the next day and it was still crispy and delicious, so I can only imagine how good it would be to get this fresh at the bakery, or if I were less lazy and gluttonous and heated it back up in the oven myself. The place itself is very clean and everyone working there was quite friendly and polite. Not surprisingly it gets a little bit busy in this small place, but it is worth it to sample the dizzying array of baked goods here. Fantastic panaderia and I am both happy and sad they are not right next door to me, because if they were, I would be here all the time.“

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

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

“Longtime customer of this beautiful place full of hardworking people who love food just as much as I do, they just recently were able to give themselves a much deserved facelift and continue to provide amazing service and food that will always have a special place in my heart!!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Lemongrass, Tofu“

“Pleasant and affordable place, for a good cause. Everything is homemade.“

“The freshest, and most delicious desserts that I’ve ever purchased. The customer service was amazing, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and my go to bakery spot in Chicagoland. Everything we’ve gotten here is fantastic, and it is a regular spot we will frequent until we die! Order anything and you will not be disappointed. A short list of everything we love there: cookies, lemon pound cake, olive oil cake, Georgie cake, and their cold brew. The ambiance is also awesome for a date or to just chill with friends. Can’t go wrong here!“

“I recently tried this place because I was told that the tres leches cake from here was SO good, they weren’t wrong! My whole family loved it and finished the leftovers the next day (we usually don’t finish cake leftovers till days later)! We ordered the vanilla tres leches and it was the perfect amount of moisture and sweetness, it did not disappoint! DEFINITELY recommend!“

“The bread is out of this world. My personal favorite is the seeded. The pastries are also very good. What a treasure.“

“We stopped in for a special treat. They had a good selection of donuts. The shop was decorated nicely and the man who was working there was inviting, helpful and nice. We decided on 6 donuts, Boston creams, pistachio, blueberry cheesecake, apple cider and bacon maple. We enjoyed them all! The prices are average for this type of shop and it does have a nice area to sit and eat if you want to do that. Overall, I recommend stopping in for a delicious donut. We will be going back whenever we are in Elmhurst again.“

“Melhor comida BR de Chicago!!! Comida caseira, barata e com gostinho de comida de mãe !! Ainda tem produtos brasileiro pra comprar ❤️ Super atenciosos e simpáticos! Lugar limpo e higiênico“

“Absolutely delicious. I went on a Sunday morning so there was a bit of a wait (roughly 15 minutes), but it was so worth it! I chose the vodka sauce, basil and Parmesan bialy and the labneh cheesecake danish. Both were to die for and I will definitely be returning!“

“Best coffee i’ve ever tasted. Well balanced, complex yet smooth...a true delight.“

“Im slowly compiling a list of what I do and don’t like. Here are my opinionsLove:-match pie (light match flavor and consistency is creme brûlée)-biscuits and gravy (gravy is so good and biscuits are buttery and flaky)Okay flavors-coconut cream (not much coconut?)-chocolate cream (tastes like chocolate pudding in a pie crust with whipped cream on top)“

“I just bought their tsoureki from Fresh Farms! It was the best store bought tsoureki (sweet bread) ever! will never buy it from anywhere else!“

“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.“

“The food is excellent. However, there was only one person taking orders and serving, so we had to wait a while for our food. A great place for a relaxing lunch.Vegetarian options: The summer omelet and the Athena omelet were both delicious, filled with lots of veggies. The eggplant, pea, and potato varenyky were very good. The desserts were scrumptious, so be sure to leave room for dessert.Parking: Many of the nearby streets require a residential sticker.“

“Best eggplant perm sandwich ever!“

“I was walking around the neighborhood and noticed the sign for New Dokil Bakery. Dokil 독일 means German/Germany in Korean, and the sign reminded me of one of my favorite Kdramas Reply 1988.This store is a cute neighborhood bakery that sells delicious Korean breads, some with cream fillings. The bread tastes fresh and homemade, and it's priced reasonably. The owner is also very friendly and welcoming.They makecakes to order as well, so next time I have a special occasion I'll try ordering from New Dokil Bakery.I like to support local businesses over international franchises, and I'm impressed that they have been in operation for over forty years!“

“If you haven’t been here yet, you need to go!! We shared the danish with mushrooms and burrata cheese, crepes, egg bagel and they were delicious! The atmosphere is calming and beautifully done.“

“The Hong Kong milk tea was delicious! Had to stop myself from finishing it too quickly! 10/10 recommend! The curry chicken bun had a phenomenal flavor and the bun itself was also very soft and almost sweet! My favorite combination! However, I do wish there was an option to request the savory buns be warmed up. I didn’t know they weren’t warmed l, I assumed they were. The flavor was there anyway. 10/10. The matcha sweet top bun was my other favorite item. I’ve never tasted any bread with its texture before. Firm yet soft. It reminded me of Mexican conchas but the matcha sweet top bun was waaay better ??? 10/10“

“The best croissants you could ask for. Flaky layers of goodness.“

“I ordered the chocolate chip cookie cake for a birthday and it was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The customer service was fantastic- nice staff, easy to order and ready with two days notice. There were so many incredible items on display at pickup - I will be back.“

“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.“

“I don’t understand how this cake turned out better than I expected. I was so scared that I was going to be disappointed because I have been in the past with other cake places but this one was not the case. I read the reviews first before my decision to get the cake done here. And I absolutely have no regrets. I just told them it was a Care Bears 1st birthday. I honestly look forward to having my future cakes made here. They were so beautiful that I had wished we didn’t have to eat them. And not only were they beautiful but delicious. Half Oreo and half guava. There was only a small bit left. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart to this talented team that work here. We could not have been any more happier with the results.“

“Excellent swrvice and best baklavas in the region“

“The bun I got was very tasty! Definitely can share with two people. The person working was also very knowledgeable on all the different flavors and it was cool that there were Chicago specific flavors. There is no inside seating. I'm not a HUGE sweets/cinnamon roll person but otherwise would recommend if u like sweets and cinnamon rolls.“

“I love this place ❤️❤️❤️ When I visit my daughter this is the 1st place I want to go. It’s right next to an awesome park that I rake my grandson to & asked him if he’d like to go there. I got an almond croissant & a cup of English Breakfast tea.,Ever since my first experience I always want to go there. It’s very cozy & everyone is so nice there. Been there several times & HIGHLY recommend this place . You’ll just love it!Five stars or more if there is such a thing ❤️❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Delicious! Highly recommended! Support small!“

“Have driven by many a time, finally decided to pop in and see if they're open to the public. They're a cash business from there Front Bakery side. Old World charm! Mrs Tina & Mrs Amy are just wonderful as a Team! Ordered some various Italian breads. The smell's made me hungry & reminded me of the old Italian Bakery's on Grand Ave (just before Ogden Avenue). My new go to spot to pick up any baked goods...The Italian Way! Mangia & Smacznego!!! Ciao!“

“Big fan of sandwich Saturdays. The mafalda bread, mortadella and pesto sandwich last week was so good. Hoping it'll be back again. Also bought a few slices of the tres leches cake with sandwiches this weekend and everyone enjoyed them.“

“عاشت ايدكم على هذا الكباب ، طعم عراقي اصلي“

“I've never had a bad experience here at Crumbl Cookies!Since moving to the area a few months ago, this has been our go-to Crumbl Cookies spot. We get it probably once a month - yikes! Every time here, though, has been the opposite of yikes - the staff is friendly, the cookies are fresh, it's never busy, always clean, and there's ample parking outside. At my old Crumbl Cookies location in Schaumburg, it was always a tight squeeze and hustle-and-bustle situation inside the store and in the parking lot because it was so busy. This location is bigger with more parking, but it's never busy which I like. Let's be real, Crumbl Cookies are freaking good. There's 4 rotating flavors every single week and 2 constant flavors (chocolate chip & sugar). I always love the chocolate chip and will get it in replacement of one of the rotating cookies when I get a 4-pack. In my opinion the warm cookies are always better than the chilled, but some of the chilled ones are great, too. They also sometimes include a mystery cookie which yes, is a mystery when you get it. I love that they do that, I think it's a fun concept especially if you really don't know which other cookie to get or want to try something new.There's TONS of flavors in general at Crumbl, I can't even select my favorite one. When they have these flavors, I do really enjoy their cinnamon swirl cookie, s'mores, cinnamon fry bread, dulce de leche, Biscoff lava, chocolate cake, buckeye brownie, and basically any flavor that has cinnamon or caramel in it, or that's super chocolatey and gooey. You already know I'll be coming to this location again!“

“Excellent cannolis and baked goods“

“Came in today for the first time. Customer service was great. I ordered a steak sandwich, cafe con leche, and a pastelito. Everything tasted really good. I ordered to go and was in and out. The place is a little small so maybe for a sit down place it might be a little cramped but that's not a deal breaker for me. Definitely a must try if you are in the neighborhood!“

“I've attended several events at Big Delicious Planet including Farm Dinners, Fall Fest, Show Some Love, and more! Every time I am so impressed with the delicious food and drinks. I love that they grow their own produce and herbs. They also put so much attention and effort into the presentation of not only their food and drinks, but the ambiance of everything as well. It is a beautiful space, especially in the summer months! I highly recommend them for any dining or catering experience.“

“The best cheese cake I have ever had. Good place to stop if you need to bring dessert. So many flavors to choose from. I highly recommend Eli's. I can remember when Eli's restaurant was downtown on East Chicago Ave., We would have dinner and cheesecake for dessert. I always have one in the freezer, for unexpected guest. Peter K.“

“Where do I start on my journey to this "schweet" treat? It all started a few months ago of seeing this business online ...I could not manage to get the time right I was too late or to early or it was closed....But finally the stars ALIGNED and on Saturday I pulled up at 10:30am waiting for the 11am opening...to buy six amazing, delicious and delightful moo-moo cheesecakes (2 keylimes 3 pecan delight and 1 strawberry)...a bowl of chili and a candle ..!I met one of the owners who went above and beyond in customer service, she was kind, patient and efficient she didn't let me wait for the chili ,which I appreciated.The strawberry was the tester cheesecake which both my mother and daughter had a sample of we all loved and enjoyed this cheesecake especially my self which I put the remaining into the freezer to get cold quick ( best decision) to eat in the dark sitting at the kitchen table savoring the freshness the sweet tartness of the strawberries the sweet smoothness of the cheesecake the buttery graham crust slightly sweet whipped cream omg...I will be coming back for more soon..another reason why to support this amazing business is they help alot and give back to the community, they offer their shop for events."There the Cheesecake People".“

“I live in the UK and wanted to surprise a friend who lives in Chicago with a birthday cake. These guys were willing to go the extra mile, literally, and deliver for me as it was a little tricky for me to collect. My friend was very happy with the cake.“

“As we entered the bakery we were greeted by the owner who is extremely nice and courteous. He suggested we try some of the fresh freshly baked goods and we had the cream puffs as well as stuffed patties which were reminiscent of Jamaican patties. This bakery specializes in Pakistani baked goods as well as south Asian treats. The goods are baked daily and fresh. The bakers are available to provide their suggestions. The pastries were fresh warm and layered with butter. They were bursting in flavor and a wonderful experience to top off our Sunday. They would make an excellent addition to anyones thanksgiving dessert/appetizer plan. In addition the service was excellent. I highly suggest visiting this bakery if you are in the area!!“
