50 Best Bakeries near Hawthorn Woods

“Delicious fresh and ever changing menu“

“The sweetest team/family, the best cannolis and focaccia bread I’ve ever had 🫶“

“We were pleasantly surprised! However, on the website it says some locations have Semi-sweet chocolate chip cookies on Thursdays…if this location had those I’d be here every day. The milk chocolate was just okay, not the best because milk chocolate doesn’t balance out the cookie. That’s why crumbl chocolate chip is bad. Semi-sweet chips are always the better choice! Please bring them to Mt. Prospect! (Not sure why they wouldn’t just be on the menu in the first place and every day, not just Thursdays?) Thank you!“

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

“Samaris created the best thickest 3 layer sheet cake for a baby shower for me. Every one at the party raved about that cake. I know vanilla cake is hard to ace and this was A+. I recommend the strawberry mousse filling.“

“The deserts we magnificent, the coffee was hot and fresh and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable, what a great place to check out if you have not, wow!“

“Great quality french pastries. Excellent service . Highly recommended“

“I finally was in the area and managed to stop by and try this bakery out today. Having a nut allergy, safe bakeries are extremely hard to come by. The fact that this place is also delicious will have me back for sure. Nice employee, delicious treats, I definitely recommend.“

“Good food very friendly employees clean store 🏬“

“😋Everything is just delicious and fresh. Best bread and coffeecakes around.“

“I picked up a Piña Colada rum cake today and it was absolutely delicious. I took it to a family gathering and it was a hit! Nana was super sweet! I own a small cake and cupcake business and I shared this place on my own business page. Was way to delicious and had to tell everyone we know!“

“We love HH goodies! Everything is always so yummy and LOVE how they’re always coming up with new creations. We also enjoy their pop up events and love the fact they do pre-orders. Highly recommend.“

“Had my daughter’s baby shower cake made here. Julie was so easy to work with and gave me great advice. I had several guests who needed gluten free and Julie and her staff were able to make the whole cake gluten free. It was so delicious that my guests thought it was the best they’ve had. Thanks Whisk Bakery!!“

“I would (and do) recommend Bake Share to anyone! Best pies in the area!!! Every dessert my family has tried so far, we’ve loved, and I can’t wait to give more a try. My personal favorite is their cookies and cream pie- worth it 100%!!“

“I am only getting my cupcakes/cakes from Sweet C’s. Love the online availability through her website.

I ordered through Sweet C’s website for a birthday and I was behind on ordering due to my kids being sick. Celia was extremely kind despite it being a last minute order that was 100% my fault.

She had 2 dozen cupcakes for me and they were delicious. Everyone loved them - from the adults to the kids at the party. I always order extra cupcakes to bring home in case I can’t sit down at the party and enjoy a cupcake. I only have 2 left over and now have to share with the kids?! Not happy. Next time I’m giving myself a 6 cupcake buffer instead of 4.

Very easy to communicate with, is on time for pick up the cupcakes and you can still upload a design like she had in store. 10/10 recommend. We went with chocolate cupcakes and a vanilla buttercream. The cupcake will so soft and the buttercream was perfectly fluffy and just the right amount of sweetness. Very well balanced cupcake.

The customer service and the cupcakes were both outstanding. Placing my cupcake order for my birthday today with a 1/2 dozen cookie kit for Halloween.

Dietary restrictions: Able to have some accommodations for dietary restrictions but like many bakeries, cross contamination can happen. She has an info section on this on her website.

Kid-friendliness: She was amazing with my youngest who attempted to place a birthday cake order for June of 2025.“

“I’m so glad I found this place! great fresh food and good service. A great addition to the neighborhood.“

“Well ordered a half sheet tres leches cake for our family Christmas gathering. This was an amazing cake best we have had and great price for the size and quality. We will order again!! The churros plain and filled either strawberry or vanilla were also great! We warmed them up in the oven ! Kids loved them. Definitely great place for desserts🎄🎄🎄Breads muffins and more“

“She's got the most delicious pastries, but not only that, we used her for making our wedding cake, and man was it good! Even our guests that had cake loved it! I would give her 10/10 rating and will most definitely recommend touch of sweets to anyone who's looking for a baker for their wedding. Thank you to her for making not only a beautiful cake, but making it so delicious.“

“Best local Mexican snack shop in all of the greater Round Lake area! Doesn’t matter if you’re trying to get healthy and lose some pounds (like I did) or just simply trying to satisfy a guilty pleasure, they’ve got you covered! Family owned with friendly customer service. Stop in and explore all of their options! They have it all from freshly prepared Mexican hot food in the morning to tortas, paninis hot off the press, tamales, shakes, fresh squeezed juices, custom made juices with no limit on ingredients, homemade ice cream, sweets, candy, drinks, snacks, custom cakes, etc, etc! They also do private events. Best part is EVERYTHING IS FRESHLY MADE! Oh, did I mention they’re prices are very affordable too!“

“Cookie decorating class was so much fun. The cookies looked great and were delicious. I will definitely do again.“

“Everyone keeps talking about the cakes but everyone has been missing out on the absolutely 5 star cookies! We were able to try these at work, thanks to the absolutely wonderful donation of their products to help share with the community on Friday’s and for this we are so grateful and want to wish you good luck because the taste is wonderful!“

“Beautiful selection of desserts and pastries!! Coming back in a few days to get a big flan for my brother's birthday and I grabbed a personal slice to snack on in the meantime. The flan is thick and silky, the empanadas are soft and I recommend heating them up for a few seconds at home!

All these pastries plus flan plus a Jarritos only $11 and some change. 10/10 recommend you stop by.“

“Great snacks! Had a pepperoni pretzel and it seemed like it was made minutes before receiving it. Very fresh and delicious. I also had a frozen strawberry lemonade and that too was very tasty and refreshing. I wish I could drink a gallon of that without any health risk. Good stuff“

“Todo esta muy rico ademas se sus antojitos 🌮, reposteria y mas yo regresó 😋😋“

“Tony’s creations are fantastic and he and his staff are all about their customers. Another great example of Mundelein’s “Start Here Star Here!” It’s great to see a fellow Mustang doing great in his home town!“

“We stumbled upon this cozy Mexican bakery in a strip mall. Easy to miss because signage is only on window, but it's near La Presa next door to the Smoke Vape Shop. Pleasantly surprised to see the array of pastries, breads, and cookies. Everything looked delicious and very fresh!“

“A friend recommended Rosy’s for homemade tamales, and I was not disappointed. They were awesome. My only regret is not buying more to take home. Can’t wait to go back and try all three kinds. Rosy’s had lots of other baked goods, so I’ll have to try the rest of what they offer, too.“

“We are so grateful for the wonderful donation of cinnabon bites from the Vernon Hills Cinnabon store.
They were so fresh and delicious and our teaching staff was over the moon with excitement when they came in for breakfast.
The service picking them up was outstanding and the order was ready right on time.
Thank you for making the Vernon Hills High School staff very happy:)

Robin, Suzanne and Nora from Vernon Hills High School“

“I tried the donuts from Mini Donut Factory, and it was unforgettable! These little masterpieces literally melt in your mouth—fresh, fluffy, and incredibly delicious. If you’re looking for something special to treat yourself or your loved ones, this is the place. Highly recommend!“

“very delicious Mexican breads and desserts“

“I am now in love & have found my new little favorite bakery. When I walked in I thought it was the cutest little shop ever. So bright & clean. So many cute little gift items, even for your pampered pooch. I bought 2 dozen variety mini bundts and they were sooooo delicious and very moist. The cream cheese frosting was out of the world. The presentation was awesome. I loved how they put a card inside each box so everyone knew what they were eating. I will definitely be back.“

“Been to Tous les Jours a few times, but finally gave in and tried the macarons for my birthday :) Yeah, they’re a little pricey, but WORTH IT. Had the lemon, pistachio, and salted caramel, and each one was better than the last. They’ve always got really unique breads and pastries, and everything tastes super fresh every time I go in. You can tell they actually care about quality here. Definitely recommend checking this place out!“
