Bakeries near Lake Forest

“long time fan! Everything about this bakery is awesome!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I love to come here on a day off and get my High lemonade and a pastry roll (cupcake, cookie, slice of cake). The people there are amazing, kind, super chill & best of all welcoming!:) Although the place is small, it’s still a great place to visit + their cute duck collection!“

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

“i differently mrs fields cookiea general should more location mass and new york city and all states and city and town“

“we had our wedding cake made by this bakery. and it was amazing from the design to the taste.“

“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.“

“Very nice, very friendly store with a great selection of bundt cakes in various sizes. Go and enjoy, you deserve it...“

“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.“

“The best sugar cookies in Illinois!“

“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.“

“Wonder French pastries and the best chicken and mushroom quiche“

“we had our wedding cake made by this bakery. and it was amazing from the design to the taste.“

“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.“

“I wish I took pictures, but we ate everything so quickly… IT’S JUST SO GOOD! We had the Korean hotdogs, mochi donuts and boba coffee and milk tea. Every week they have different mochi donut flavors, try them all! For the Korean hotdogs, you choose your flavor, then if you want mozzarella/sausage, and a dipping sauce. Also, the actual location is cute and inviting with extra seating in the back. Highly recommend!“

“Friendly service and the chips are homemade and soooo delicious the best chips and with a variety of salsas to dip into. The best chips and salsa experience I’ve had at a restaurant while waiting for my food. The queso birria was amazing the perfect crunch and the flavor was definitely there. I highly recommend this place. We stopped here by chance and I’m glad we did or I wouldn’t have discovered this gem! I can’t forget the music it’s a beautiful vibe with musica romantica!“

“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.“

“Thanks for the wonderful confetti cake for Halloween 🎃“

“Everything here is incredibly delicious! I guarantee that anything you try you will love! ☺️ I have been getting my cakes from Gourmet Frog for over 15 years, and from my wedding day to just because I was having a bad day and needed a little treat, it's always a hit! I can't recommend froggies enough! (What I endearingly call them ?)“

“It smells delicious when you enter, the delicacy and the cups are my favorites, the service is very good, everyone is very friendly and they are very fast when there are people, as I already mentioned the movements are very fast and this means that when I'm in a hurry I don't Don't worry, I'll be late, excellent service.“

“Cutest yummiest cookies… totally worth the visit“

“It's a nice, cute place to relax and have a coffee/tea and a good pastry. Past few years I've liked pretty much everything I've gotten. The people working here are nice and helpful, even when it's busy, and the inside is always clean.“

“It gets packed on the weekends, in the early morning but who doesn't like fresh bread! The only dislike I have is the bread conchas have cinnamon (which I can't eat alot, still tasty ?). & You don't know the cost of each bread since it doesn't provide a price available, until the cashier charges you. ?? NO EBT! ?“

“These aren’t just cookies! They are a MEAL😊 Kudos to Carol’s Cookies for creating masterpieces!“

“Stop in for the canolli and stay for the food.“

“During our cross-country trip, my girlfriend and I visited Gurnee Mills Mall. Before leaving, we used a gift card to get Auntie Anne's. Although the gift card had a balance large enough to cover the food we ordered, the machine wasn't accepting it. Thankfully, the worker was helpful and understanding. He resolved the issue and made the situation good. The food we had was super delicious. I would give it a 5-star rating!“

“Sales rep who helped me was very friendly and helpful. Very personable service!!! Highly recommend❗️❗️❗️“

“Sabroso el pan apoyen alas pequeñas empresas“

“The best Ube Pandesal, the bread is smooth, the filling is unique, well blended flavor. The Ensaimada is moist and soft. The ube on top is to die for! Hindi minadali ang pagkagawa...It’s made with love! 😍 Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“Nice and tasty and a great gluten free option“

“exelente y delicioso pan su atención al cliente es formidable sale uno con satisfacción no hay mejor pan que aquí“

“Received a box of 6 for birthday and very much enjoyed them. Some were still warm and yummy. Cookies were delivered without a bag, just box. Box had a security sticker which was peeled open although all cookies looked good. That is why I took away one star.“

“Hi, The best donuts anywhere. They are working and baking at 2:00 each morn, so you can have fresh donuts in the morning. Best Chocolate frosting ever; little secret, freshly made. They try hard to please everyone.“

“Can never go wrong with their cookies!!! We love them! I do wish the service was faster and the atmosphere was more enjoyable or entertaining. It's quite boring and can be uncomfortable waiting in a long line, packed in a small area at the front of the store.“

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

“Great service, awesome communication“

“Delicious, totally vegan food made by the nicest people you could ever meet. My partner and I loved the whole experience. The food was so fresh and yummy, and my partner said the tacos were perfect! Truly the sweetest staff too! Stop in here -- you won't regret it!“

“Came here for a quick snack while at the mall with my friends. Staff was nice and there was virtually no line. Staff picked out biggest Cinnabon for us even though there were smaller ones in the tray which was very kind. Lots of seating nearby as this was right next to the food court.

Parking: Inside a mall which had lots of parking.“

“todo el pan muy delicioso“
