50 Best Bakeries near Melrose Park

“This lady is amazing!! I don’t know about any other reviews, she always comes through for me. I love her work m. Been a customer for years.“

“Realized I didn’t close my bag of wafer paper all the way so it was brittle and couldn’t print on it for my cake order. Needed more last minute when OF COURSE my Amazon order with more wafer paper sheets in it didn’t show up! This place wasn’t far and super sweet! Really great to know that if I need some last minute items I can get them locally from a small business instead of ordering from Amazon. Thank you for being here and being so sweet! Will definitely be back! Definitely recommend they have TONS of items for a small store! I’m talking TONS!“

“I had a tres leche Oreo cake for my birthday!!! It was soooo moist and good!!! The best cake I ever had seriously! The decorations were soooo pretty and neat! I loved everything about my cake! Will recommend a thousand timessss. Thankyouuu guys❤️“

“Muy bueno. Pastel 🍰 excelente“

“a huge thank you to Aracely's Tamales for your wonderful Vegan tamale!! I just had the pleasure of tasting it for the first time at the Palos Heights Farmers Market. DELICIOUS! You were the only Vendor kind enough to offer a Vegan option!“

“This spot has some truly unique and incredibly tasty pastries 😍🥐 The team working there gives off such positive energy-it’s obvious they genuinely enjoy what they do, which makes the whole experience even better ✨ I absolutely loved the chai spice cinnamon roll, it was rich, warm, and perfectly balanced 🍂 and the brown butter salted caramel blondie was next-level indulgent 🤤 The pizza focaccia, though, was just okay-not bad, but nothing that really stood out. One thing to keep in mind: it gets *very* busy! When I visited, there was already a long line about 10 minutes before opening, even on a cold, snowy Saturday morning ❄️⏰ so plan ahead if you don’t want to wait too long!“

“it's the best Bakery around..“

“Delicious goodies and bread. Amazing sandwiches and specialty items. Nicest family inthe world owns it! Been around forever. Always a stop when I go back to my hood as a kid.“

“I love the fresh food , reasonable prices and how polite and helpful the ladies are. I have been going to this bakery for over 18 years. I moved far from it, and I drive an hour to come buy from there.“

“Absolutely love this bakery! The service is always amazing everyone is so kind and welcoming. The food and desserts are delicious, everything tastes fresh and made with care. The place itself is super cute and cozy, perfect for stopping by with friends or family. I also love how they’re always keeping up with new trends and coming out with creative new items. You can really tell they put passion into everything they do. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent! Thank you so much for the Fatayer, will be back for more! Baklava, Date cookies, Dubai chocolate:)“

“Shout out for the perfect Pastries for my daughter’s shower!“

“Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had Maria and Ashley was very amazing with giving the best experience to customers no matter who you are and the food just as good, the whole team there could be seen giving their all, will definitely come again with friends!!“

“Walked in this afternoon. Aaliyah and Amber are awesome. We walked in undecided on what to get. They definitely were very patient with us and helped us out. Picked up so many different choices. Can’t wait to try them on. Definitely will be back. Great customer service.“

“So today I had a friend in from out of town and we topped off our afternoon with a visit to Miski Bakery. I was dying to try the alfajores, and they did not disappoint! The very delicate morsels melted in our mouth, and the creamy luscious dollop of dulce de leche caramel was a perfect pairing. In addition we tried the Milhojas/Napoleons in two flavors the Lucuma pastry creme and also the dulce de leche. A thousand layers is correct, these were amazingly tall, crispy and filled with air, both were delicious but the Lucuma(a Peruvian fruit) pastry creme was the standout. It had such a delightful delicate flavor I had never tasted previously. After speaking with Carmen the owner I asked whether or not they ever carried Turrón de doñja Pepa. She just happened to have some freshly baked sitting on the tray behind the counter, but alas it was still awaiting its filling. This gives me a great reason to return and indulge in that special treat. It is prepared every other week. The service was warm and friendly. This is definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood you shouldn't miss out on. I will be returning often.“

“The cheesecake, macarons and panna Cotta was fabulous! The owners are so very nice with a lovely business.“

“I absolutely recommend not only are the treats delicious but customer service is amazing.“

“There's a reason the line here is sometimes half a block long. The scones and banana bread are out of this world but the Olive oil cake is among the tastiest things I've had. Regardless of the time of day or how crowded they are the staff is friendly and incredibly efficient. I've never had to wait on my order for more than a couple of minutes. Fantastic neighborhood gem!“

“I have been enjoying breads and pastries from New Dokil my whole life from various asian grocery stores (Joong Boo, Hmart, Tai Nam, Park to Shop) and always get something the moment I see it. My favorites have to be the white bean bread, every cream bread, and mocha castella. Always fresh, super soft, and not too sweet. I would like to visit the main location one day for a special occasion cake.“

“Drove 45 minutes and well worth the trip. I couldn’t choose…so I bought quiche, key lime, chocolate chess, chocolate cream and pecan pies. All fantastic, but the pecan is my absolute fave. Go here. Your taste buds will never forgive you if you don’t!“

“We ordered desserts for my daughter’s wedding sweet table this past weekend and it was a big hit. Guests couldn’t stop talking about the delicious treats! Thank you so much! This is the second family wedding we ordered desserts for!“

“There cakes and delicious Italian desserts yummy !“

“Lovely spot in downtown Westmont! Sweet and savory food options that are all delicious. We really enjoy going to this unique spot for breakfast and brunch.“

“Absolutely delicious cake that looked great too. ❤️“

“This business specializes in birthday cakes. They offer great quality and I was really impressed by their talented bakers. The cake was really good and made with good ingredients. I really recommend this place to get your cake for your birthday, wedding or any special occasion.“

“My toddler offered this review when she said the following after she took a bite of the tomato and basil scone, "Pizza! So yummy!"“

“Welcoming, attentive, respectful and gracious hosts. Spending money here feels good for the soul.“

“Sad that their Schaumburg location is closing but happy they’re expanding! Both the owner and staff are wonderful. They have the best homemade cream cheese filling. I don’t go anywhere else for Japanese pastries. Try their beef curry croquet or any of their ube bread! Both are fantastic.“

“We love Eli’s Cheesecake in Chicago and have been coming every year ( at least 10 years as of now) to pick up cheesecakes for the holidays. We usually buy 20+ cheesecakes for our friends and neighbors, and the service is always wonderful. Rosa, the store manager, was always especially kind and helpful during our visits. So and Bryan and the rest of the team this past holiday were friendly and helpful too.
Highly recommend! We will be back soon!“

“I went yesterday when visiting Chicago. I had never had it before but I went by the recommendations of Skokie residents and I was very impressed. I took 6 desserts home to Kentucky and my only regret is I didn’t take more oatmeal raisin cookies. Those were absolutely phenomenal.“

“A true authentic Italian pastries. i am not a sweets eater but i can't stop eating them. you can definitely tell they are authentic Italian pastries. And knowing that they are made from first generation Italian family takes me straight in Italy in my imagination“

“Best sourdough in Illinois! Great service and a comfortable environment.“

“Everything I have tasted from here had been excellent ,I am especially fond of their chocolate doughnuts,, sweet rolls and their Cannoli cake is great.“

“This place is absolutely gas. 100/10.

For under $7 you get a perfectly made brisket sandwich with a good portion on a fresh made bagel.

I love that the staff really could care less if I was there or not but still get great service and products.“

“We’re so fortunate to have this gem of a local bakery nearby. My celiac daughter loves that she can eat ANYTHING from here. I’m not GF, and I think everything is delicious too. We love Sweet Ali’s!“

“Pan Artesanal slaps every time.“

“they always have delicious Mexican bread100% very nice people that work there....come and see for yourself🙋“

“Best bakery ever!!! Absolutely everything is delicious!!!“

“This place is both beautiful the cakes and macaroons are the best I’ve ever had pricey but worth it for a special occasion . I highly recommend“

“Buckeye Brownie cookie is to die for!!!“

“I do think these are the best donuts in Chicago area, or that I've ever had, specifically the glaze and the chocolate. I'm from Texas and have high standards for simple yeast donuts. The Chicago area is really lacking in independent donut shops, so when I found these, I was so happy. I found the original D&Ds location a couple of years ago, but was happy when this location opened as it's closer to me. There is a very professional and kind young man that we've seen work the register at the shop a couple of times, and the owner always offers up samples to newbies, so the service here is great. The food and service are truly 5 stars.
The only downfall of this place is, as other reviews have mentioned, there have been multiple times I've tried to come during business hours, and they are unexpectedly closed for the day. And I'm left heartbroken. To avoid this, I would definitely call before heading there. I won't stop going because I truly believe in their product, but I definitely won't head there unless I've confirmed they're open.“

“We drove from Genoa City Wisconsin because we heard how delicious everything was. We were NOT disappointed. The meat on our sandwiches, one corned beef and one pastrami, was piled high! Homemade brined pickles and bakery items exceeded our expectations. Worth the drive and we will be back.“

“Delicious! I grew up in des plaines near this bakery and always drove by it but never noticed. My fiance did when we came to visit my family. After a few visits, we finally decided to stop by. I’m glad we did! The place is cozy, almost feels like a cute European cafe. We bought a variety of tiramisu flavors, and the honey cake. They were all so good and fresh tasting. The person who helped us was also very sweet and recommended a few items.“

“This little bakery/cafe is a hidden gem! They have a huge variety of fruit teas and milk teas! their cakes and sweet treats are beautiful and super trendy! We love the can cakes and the ice taro mochi cakes!“

“I grew up in Western Springs, in a house on the “other side of the tracks”. Almost every Sunday, my father and I would go to Kirschbaum’s for a dozen donuts. Those donuts were sooo good.“

“This bakery was not on my agenda today, I was to try Hermosa Cafe around the corner, unfortunately, I guess they only take online orders or reservations because the doors were locked at 12noon on a Saturday with only a text number to communicate with them. And they never responded.

As Im leaving the site, I see many people walk into this mexican bakery that has sweet pastries and makes fresh sandwiches and tortas to-order.

The portions of the baked goods are exceptional and fairly priced. I tried an assorted selection of baked goods and they were all magnificent. I especially enjoyed the “boston creme donut” (relleno = stuffed, i was not aware of that meaning) and its flaky “cone-like” treat that was filled to the bottom. I was surprised and pleased.

I also tried their chorizo & scrambled egg torta. This was toasted nicely and the chorizo was crumbly and seasoned nicely.

This is a solid 4.4⭐️s!!!“

“Maaaan look 👀....don't walk 🚶🏽...RUN 🏃🏽💨 to Sugar Sweet Dreams! Tania is amazing! She's such a talented artist/baker. She's very attentive and will work with you to create whatever design you're thinking of. She made the perfect cake for my wife's birthday. Her prices are fair and her artistry is second to none! My wife was blown away and brought to tears from the sheer cuteness of the cake. She didn't want to cut it; and it taste delicious 😂😂😂 Thanks again Tania, you have a customer 4 life. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS! ♥️♥️♥️“

“everything is good!! family owned!!“

“I ordered cake for my wife's 50th birthday party. We received so many compliments. The cake was delicious and a work of art. I also had some other desserts from there and they were amazing, too. The staff was also very nice. We highly recommend Delightful Pastries.“
