Sweet Reserve Bakery & Cafe

Update: Got a 25$ gift card, so gave them another try, we got the signature chocolate cake this time & it was delicious, super moist, & tasted fresh as well.

My husband went and picked up the hazelnut cake right before closing the night of our anniversary. The cake was so stale.

Great Neighborhood Gem! Convenient hours!
Easy to access! Great, great selection and in-stock items! I needed a specialty cake for an event, last minute! The gal behind the counter was just really great. Really great. Very helpful and knowledgeable!! This place is really special!!

Great bakery with nice savory and sweet dishes; we had the spinach feta Turkish bread which was overall good, could have been a bit for spicy/savory

Iced karak chai with good
Pistachio latter was really good

TWISTED BREAD chicken tikka which is also called puff pastry was frozen horrible

I got out of my way to go to Sweet Reserve. They recently provided the cutting cake for a wedding and it was beautiful and delicious! The signature chocolate. Definitely recommend

Baclava tart omg!!

Beautiful decor and amazing food

Stopped by to get a few treats. Overly sweet, over priced—macarons were especially a let down. They weren’t even pretty 😬. Won’t be going back unfortunately.

Food is on the expensive side. I ended up getting the Tiramisu which tasted good. But I felt much of the items were very expensive compared to other establishments. Other than that it is a fair place if you want to try it. The staff are nice. Not sure if I would go back.

Parking: Depends on the day. On busier days of the week (weekends and holidays/evenings you may find it hard to get parking).

This is my go-to for great food, desserts, and coffee! Quick and friendly service. Definitely recommended if you're in the Oakbrook/Lombard area.

I was so so disappointed with the pastries the last two times I visited! the rasmalai tres leches which is my go to, it barely had any ras malai taste in it! Feels like I ate cake dipped in plain milk, it wasn’t even sweet! the key lime tart felt like it was old.. the bottom of the tart just tasted off! I really don’t want to stop coming and hoping the food comes back to normal.

My drink and food were delicious! The cashier was very friendly and helpful, and I was able to stay and work for a few hours no problem. I have already scheduled another work session here with a friend and would definitely recommend for a nice light morning bite, or small get together.

I had really high hopes for this place since I’ve been hoping to find a good matcha spot in the area and the photos on instagram looked amazing. I ordered a strawberry matcha and a hibiscus tea and they were both awful I can’t speak on the baked goods are good since I didn’t try but I would never recommend the drinks.
