Very disappointed ☹️, I paid a lot of money for the birthday cake 🎂, but cake was old and tastes bad, my guests are very disappointed. Cake looks great only outside. Long time ago Oak Mill bakery was the best place to buy cake, but not anymore. When you change a lot of money for the cake, people should love it. That was a waste of money. 👎

I purchased poppy seeds cake today. It used to be great, moist, soft. Today it was absolutely awful! Very dry and hard. Almost needed a saw to slice it. Terrible! Probably very old. I also purchase a cheese cake which was bad as well. Not coming back! They also would not sell half of a bread loaf, just a full loaf. Very expensive but much worse quality than last time I was there. And it was right before Christmas when bakeries should have fresh stuff. The biggest surprise was when I paid with credit card and there was a screen asking for a tip! Really? Wow.

There is no surprise why they don't display the prices of the cakes. Yesterday I stopped by this bakery to purchase a SMALL cake, for which I paid $45, crazy expensive. Yeah, that’s true, I could have go to another place but I was running out of time. If you have time I recommend to go somewhere else. The quality of the cake doesn’t match the price. Nothing special, there is no difference between their cake and Jewel Osco cakes! Message for the company: I understand the inflation, but if you choose to increase the prices then you should choose good quality ingredients and good work on the textures!

If you could give 0 stars for the service, I would give it, don't buy the poppy seed cake there because it's old and they say it's fresh, don't buy the cakes because they say it's fresh but it's frozen, tiramisu $80 and all that to fuck, the liars in the service are a disaster

Oak Mill Bakery is an absolute gem! Every pastry tastes like a true work of art – the perfect balance of flavor and quality. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the cakes and desserts look stunning. I love coming back here, especially for the fresh pastries and treats that always surprise with their rich taste. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional baked goods for any occasion! And a special shout-out to Gosia – she’s the best, always the best, and makes every visit even more special! I haven’t experienced service this good in years!

Really great family owned bakery. I love all the pastries and cakes. Everyone that works here is so friendly and the baked goods are the best in the Chicagoland area.

2 days ago I bought a pear cake for my child's birthday. Unfortunately, it was spoiled, sour and had an unpleasant smell, which resulted in poisoning. I will add that I have been a faithful customer for 20 years. I see more similar opinions, so it is not an isolated case. Location: Harwood Heights.

Cake was past spoiled! It was fermented!!! We got the specialty cake called SUMMER CAKE, the strawberries were very sour but to make things worst the strawberry whipped cream inside was not just sour but bubbly and fermented! I got this cake last year and it was amazing and their cheaper option for $37, now they almost DOUBLED their price to $57!!!! Insanity for old cake!!!

Best fruit cakes as far as I know, no joke!Honestly.Light with sugar and lots of fruits
We had bread treats, cake pops and fruit tarts. We had to warm up the bread 15 secs in the microwave so they can taste better. Everything else tasted fine. BUTThe service here is horrible. Horrible. I won’t be coming back, doesn’t matter how good the food is.

Unfortunately, the cake purchased for my birthday was sour and the filling stinked.You couldn't eat it, how can you sell something like that! And I specifically asked if it was frozen! I was assured that no, it is not.

Prices are insane. This is sick, I paid over $32 for 4 Rogal Marcinski, which tbh is worth quarter of the price max, because does not taste and is not filled like a $8 piece.
