Blissful Brownies Bakery •
28566 Ballard Dr, Lake Forest

“Ordered thru Williams Sonoma 10-26-24. Shipper created a shipping label on 11-7-24. Every day I checked order updates and watched the delivery date be pushed out to the next day. And the next day. And the next day. Finally just cancelled the order with Williams Sonoma on 11-22-24. Wish I had seen the reviews for this vendor before ordering. Williams Sonoma should really rethink selling this bakery's products.
UPDATE: Changed my review based on Blissful Brownies response and my experience with Williams Sonoma. After multiple calls, nonsensical explanations, extreme frustration and review of other Williams Sonoma customer complaints I realize the bakery is not at fault.“

Pretzel

“My experience was great! During these challenging times, there was a minor situation that was out of their control. I called the Auntie Anne's the next day and spoke to Megan the acting/assistant manager. Megan listened to my concern and welcomed me to come back and have my order fulfilled properly. She also added free items to make sure I was satisfied. Megan was very relatable and it was a breath of fresh air to have a great discussion with her. I can't wait to come back to this location which is in a food court of lots of other fast food options and gas station!“

“Food is always fantastic. The avocado toast, the breakfast burritos, and the lunch paninis are bangers, not to mention the brownies (we always grab one to-go).

The owner and employees are all very sweet and the space is vibrant—in the summer the full windows open and it's just a really pleasant spot to grab breakfast or lunch. Would love to see more authentic, small places like this open up and thrive in the North Shore.“

“So this past June marked my very first time visiting a Crumbl Cookies. I guess I musta been living under rock (actually no) but apparently I misunderstood the concept behind the famed bakery.When I first walked in and browsed the menu, I was like "only 6 different types of cookies?" Well ok then, guess I'll try each one times 2. I eventually found out from my stepdaughter that there's a rotation each week which makes perfect sense.These cookies are outstanding: they stay soft, moist & flavorful for several days and the price which may seem high to some is definitely worth it. The ability to add on to the cookies is ideal as well.Customer service is down-to-earth friendly and helpful and as long as they keep baking that yummy goodness with consistency, I'll keep coming back for more.“

“I have had cupcakes and other treats before, but this was my first time ordering some - a custom-made pumpkin pie without clove. My mom always made it without and I never could bring myself to like it with. Well, I took one bite and it tasted so much like my mom's pumpkin pie that I almost cried. She passed away last year and had actually not cooked for a couple years beforehand. This really hit me very unexpectedly! Thank you so much to Ashley and her wonderful team at Punky Cakes.“

“Ordered a Tres Leche Cake fora Mexican party. Sandy who helped me was terrific, very helpful. Carlos also. Sandy asked if I wanted anything written on cake I said fiesta. When I went to pick it up, the 1/4 sheet looked like it had been decorated by professionals. It was just so very beautifully decorated I could not believe it . So much much more than just the word fiesta. Taste people could not get enough, everyone just loved it. Not too sweet perfect & The price was way under what it should have been. I am sorry I did it photo it. I also bought a cookie for my ride home, just yummy.“
