Bakeries near Lake Forest

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

“Blissful Brownies are nothing short of perfection. From the very first bite, you’re met with an incredibly rich chocolate flavor that melts in your mouth, balanced by a perfectly crisp top layer that adds just the right amount of texture. The fudgy center is dense yet smooth, delivering the kind of indulgence that only a truly well-crafted brownie can provide.

Each brownie tastes like it was made with the finest ingredients—real butter, high-quality cocoa, and just the right touch of sweetness. There’s no artificial aftertaste, no overwhelming sugar rush—just pure, chocolatey bliss. Whether enjoyed on their own, paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or dunked into a cold glass of milk, they never fail to satisfy.

Blissful Brownies live up to their name in every possible way. They’re rich but not overpowering, sweet but balanced, and the kind of treat that makes you close your eyes and savor every bite. If you’re looking for the perfect brownie, this is it.“

“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!“

“This place is a gem! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how kind and knowledgeable the staff was. The girl who helped me was so sweet, super patient, and explained everything perfectly. You can really tell they care about the customer experience and make sure you feel comfortable and taken care of. Now let’s talk about the lemonades—WOW. Infused and delicious, it was honestly one of the best lemonades I’ve ever had. And the baked goods? Incredible. Soft, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. Everything I tried was amazing, and I can’t wait to go back and try more. I seriously love, love, love this place. The staff, the products, the vibe—Blazed Bakery is on point. Thank you for such an awesome experience!“

“Their pan dulce is AWESOME!!! This is the only bakery I go to get pan dulce! I know the owners are they are very sweet. However lately the workers they have are a bit unprofessional. On the phone and having loud conversations. Product wise, the bread, LOVE IT!!!!!“

“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! ?“

“Crumbl Cookie never disappoints! Every time I walk in, the store smells amazing and the staff is super friendly. Their cookies are always warm, soft, and full of flavor. I love that the menu changes every week because there’s always something new and exciting to try. The presentation is so cute, and the pink box makes it feel like a little treat every time.

My favorites so far are the chocolate chip and any of their seasonal flavors — they’re always perfectly baked and taste homemade. If you have a sweet tooth or just want to brighten your day, Crumbl is definitely the place to go! 🍪💗“

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.“
