50 Best Bakeries near Midlothian

“I ordered the Tres Leches cake for a birthday and it was all around amazing. The cake tasted incredible and the design was so perfect! We got the smallest size and it fed our group of 13 and we had about half the cake still left. I will definitely be ordering from here again!!!“

“Absolute best donuts in the world! This place is just so awesome. I've been coming here for years, and the donuts are always great. The Buttermilk cake donut is my favorite, just perfect. This place is OldSkool, just like me. Luv ❤️ everything about this place, please dont ever change anything. I luv the old skool menu, the old skool stools, I luv the old skool vibe, and It is not uncommon to see the founder Burritt in the window still making donuts at 85 young years old, God bless him and God give me the same strengths at his age. If you haven't made a pilgrimage yet to this place, do it and do it now !“

“I am a Puerto Rican muslim who has been searching for a halal Spanish restaurant from NJ, CHI, PR, and Fl and could not find one! Until I stumbled across Sazones. I initially thought this was too good to be true and that I was going to be disappointed, and I was WRONG. Although they did not have my favorite Pollo giusado, their rotisserie chicken, steak, sweet plantains, tostones and my favorite alcapurria made up for it.“

“How they accomplish exactly what my daughter wants every year is beyond me.Last year was Hello Kitty and Dinosaurs and this year is Dinosaurs in Space.. I literally just said “I have no idea how but please help me”and they blew us away both times. I recommend them to everyone. Also, the cakes taste amazing!!!! 10 out of 10 all around. You guys are amazing!“

“If you want fresh cookies with a delicious taste, you should visit them. They have large-sized cookies, the shop owner has a fine taste in decorating cookies. In short, visit Great America Cookies to know what I am talking about. As for their prices, they are nothing compared to the service, taste, cleanliness, and arrangement.“

“Good sweet and good service. Gives you a nice feeling when you enter it.Same problem with most places like this, you don’t know if they price by weight or piece or what..I just ordered 2 items, receipt had one line item with the total and I didn’t know how much I paid for the knafah or the other item.“

“My mom and I stopped in because we were on this side of town. She’s never been. The front staff(which may have been no older than 20) were the best. They explained the menu, super polite, service with a smile, and it came naturally. We will definitely be back. My mom got the caramel pound cake slice, while I got a slice of the orange. Both were really delicious ☺️.“

“Got Cupcakes and cookies on my way to work they were a huge hit! The lemon, carrot and fudge cupcakes were the biggest hit. I personally really enjoyed the mintastic and apple pie alamode. I had people clambering for when I could get them again.“

“I saw this little gem on a TikTok video and instantly knew I had to try! My husband works nearby Cake N Bake, so I had him stop and bring home a little treat to try. I got the Nutella stuffed croissant and oh my, it was perfection. Not too sweet, buttery, flaky… just absolutely wonderful. Can’t wait to go back and support this little shop!!“

“My favorite cookies are:#2 their version of the oatmeal cream pie#1 the Willy Wonka (red velvet cake, cream in the middle with hard candy sprinkles)I can’t eat this everyday but when I’m in my feelings they always have something different & that I like! Check them out!“

“Smallcakes in Homewood has an amazing variety of cupcakes that are all super yummy. What I love even more is their ice cream. The flavors are unique, they make it in house, and it’s beyond delicious. The Banana Pudding and Hennessy Caramel Butter Cake ice creams are my favorite.“

“I’ve been going to Wolfs Bakery for the last two years for birthdays, special occasions, and sometimes just for sweets! They have the best cakes, the best cookies, the best muffins, and the best breads. Everything they’ve made has been on time a good price and of course delicious!“

“Al Medina Bakery offers an authentic Middle Eastern hospitality that is truly remarkable from the moment you step in.Their homemade pastries and baked goods stand out as the finest. A quick visit for a single spice turned into a delightful surprise of leaving with four bags filled with their delectable homemade foods. By the way, some of the pastries never made it home. LOL .Special thanks to "Z" for the introduction to these delicious pastries.“

“Let me say you made my Daughters baby shower perfect !Starting from the order to the pickup everything went 100 % perfect , from her warm welcome to the attentive care given on packing the cake for my trip to Nebraska .The fear of Flash freezing the cake to throwing it out everything went perfect. Just letting you know you can flash freeze a cake for travel.The cake was just perfect not too sweet and extremely light and fluffy delicious flavor. Thank you.“

“I ordered a full lamb stuffed with misakhan and variety of sides! The food was out of this world, cooked with perfection! I like to make my own food, but ordering from this amazing place seriously was like a home cooked meal! Fresh, spices were perfect, salads and hummus so fresh! I highly recommend the Orland Market & Bakery catering for all your occasions! Service and the crew so friendly and punctual!!“

“Very appropriate sweat content of sweets. Not too sweat or drenched in syrup. Loved the soft Kunafae and different Baklava varieties. Wish got to know the specific names to mention but any type of Baklava will be a safe bet. Will recommend.“

“Nothing Bundt Cake Orland Park was wonderful for my wedding two weeks ago and Joanne helped every step of the way! :) Not only did she ease my mind and made the process seamless, but she facilitated the set up at our venue which eased a lot of stress of myself and family. And for the price, we received more then enough bundtini's for our reception! I would 10/10 recommend for weddings, and even for just grabbing a bundt cake :)“

“I love Crumbl cookies so much but my experience at the Orland Park location was amazing. The staff was pleasant and answered all of my questions. The store was very clean and tidy. My cookies were fresh and tasted delicious. I would definitely return to this location.“

“I just went in there thinking it will be , I don't know, but it is like a palace of pure pleasure. The staff was welcoming and the sweets are unbelievable. Guys don't pass this place by, it is a gem. BTW I never post a review but for this I had to.“

“This is this first bakery I have been too and EVERYTHING is exceptional. There is always a new goodie added to the menu I love the selection. So glad I found this gem. The owner is amazing and went above and beyond to make sure I was able to get my selection of goodies. My only go to sweet shop with sweet service!“

“Best experience ever!!! The owner & staff was so nice. Me and my fiancé attend their baking class today and we both really enjoyed it. She explained everything very welll and even help us throughout the session. We traveled 3 hours to visit and it was well worth it. I will be back. I also won cookies playing bingo while baking our cooking and the cookies I won was amazing they tasted so good. If you are in the area please try them and book a baking class you will not be disappointed.“

““The best cake I’ve had” was quoted several times at our daughter’s birthday party! Not only did the bakery knock it out of the park with the aesthetics of the cake (just look at the photos WOW), the taste was also outstanding! We will be a repeat customer for sure!“

“The food is delicious. I love the Turkey burger. It's the juiciest turkey burger I've had on the south side. They got it! Service is always great and the vibes are good too. The caramel cake is the best I've ever had, yes I promise it's better than your grandmas! Check them out and support.“

“Stopped in yesterday for the first of many visits. The service was warm and friendly. I ordered scones, doughnuts and Irish soda bread. My co-workers and I were blown away by how delicious everything tasted. Light and fresh baked good that kept people going back for seconds and thirds. Looking forward to trying their other items on the menu.“

“I was craving cupcakes so I stopped by to try it out. Upon entering the girl at the register was very nice and welcoming. They had quite a few options to choose from and I decided on the Oreo and hostess cupcakes. Both were yummy and hit the spot. Since they have a wide variety of flavors I definitely will come back and try more.“

“Absolutely recommend this place I haven’t had a donut as good since I tasted these beautiful creations. The employees are so friendly and they let me take my time to browse all the amazing options. If you haven’t tried it make sure you go ASAP.“

“I don’t normally post reviews but I had to take the time to recognize this bakery. They did cake pops, cupcakes and cookies for my daughter-in-law’s baby shower and they were the rave of the party. People generally comment on food after a party but rarely desserts, at least in my circle but got tons of compliments. Will definitely not hesitate to make this my first choice for desserts/dessert table moving forward. Their selection is beyond the scope of what you find in a Southside bakery. And their attention to detail is top notch!“

“First timer. Although, i'd been hearing great things, I was hesitant to make the drive but when they had a pop up with Manny's Deli, I had to make the trip. I was glad I did. Free cupcake with every sandwich. I purchased 2 sandwiches, so that means too cupcakes.....Sweet.......I opted for the caramel and the rainbow sherbet. My son loves rainbow sherbet and the owner swore it tasted just like it. She was correct by the way. I also took 2 slices of caramel pound cake, a slice of caramel cheesecake and a slice of lemon cheesecake.....I had to share, so I got a variety. All were excellent and the caramel is the truth. These paired well with coffee or milk. Both owners were present and interacting with customers. Since this pop up was on a major thorughfair on the southside of Chicago during the lunch rush on a Friday, parking can be a challenge. Luckily, I arrive just before this. Parked just accross the street. The storefront is clearly marked, but it's easy to miss. The inside is small but, large enough to accommodate a small crowd picking up orders. I can easily see how a line could spill out onto the sidewalk because between people getting sandwiches, which was off to the side in the interior and the counter and display case immedately upon entry, this place was beginning to fill up fast. After my visit, I recently ordered more desserts to have them delivered at home via dwell social. I'm not a dessert person but this place has me re-thinking that.“

“These are my favorite coffee dunking cookie! I especially like the sesame cookies! The texture and the flavor are perfect and I enjoy these every time I can find them! I have contacted the business many times and they are quick to get back to me and always so pleasant!. So yummy and looking forward to trying everything they bake!“

“My family has ordered a few cakes from there, they never disappoint! Last weekend. I had my wedding and ordered my cake from there. It looked exactly as I wanted it too and I got so many compliments on how good it was. Definitely recommend their cake over anything else!“

“Deliciousness!! Penthouse Sweets did the cake for my sisters wedding and catered to her desired look perfectly. She requested a semi-naked cake with rose placements. The baker was super nice and professional. The cake turned out beautiful and tasted just as great! The shop does host tastings monthly. & I believe slices, cupcakes, and other treats are sold daily.“

“I moved a few months ago to Central Illinois from southern California where there was plenty of Middle Eastern bakeries. I googled and drove two hours to this place and I am so happy that I did that. The pastries were amazing. The bread was soft, and the pies were savory. This was worth a drive and I will be coming back very soon.“

“I chose Hi way bakery because my parents used to get our cakes there when we were kids. I called them during Holy Week as I needed a custom order cake for my daughter’s birthday coming up on that weekend. They were able to accommodate my request and the cake turned out absolutely beautiful!!! My daughter was very pleased. I highly recommend their cakes and their vanilla long Johns. The service is excellent too. Everyone is so friendly!“

“This Bakery has been around for quite a few Decades, and they Still Offer the Same Friendly and Courtesty Service they have Always been Known for!!! They Make an Variety of Donuts, Coffee Cake and Other Pastries!!! All Pastries are Baked Daily, Special Request can be Put in for in Advance!!! Phone ahead for Working time frame!!! The Prices Match those from Surrounding Bakery's!!! One drawbacks they are Closed On Monday. There is One Baker On hand, So Place Orders Timely!!! My Coworkers and I, ...enjoyed Delicious Donuts with a Great Cup of Joe!!! Next time I'll Post Pics before I hastily Eating All the Donuts!!! ?‍♀️“

“I called this business during the week of 4th of July to order my son a birthday cake. They said they can make it happen and did! This was my first time having their cake, & it was really good. The only thing I didn't like was the letters they used on the cake, but no biggie. I would order again.“

“Was once the Best old time Bakery hands down in the area! It's now changed hands and under a revival. Currently operating as a pop up next door to the original location. Tried some of the items at this location in the past and it was not up to expectations. This time was different. Had the pazki and it brought back the memories of the original. Really good and better than any you can find. Looking forward to the grand reopening of this great local institution. If all the recipes can be duplicated it will be a shining success!“

“Out by me in the Huntley area there’s nothing like this place around. You have to drive towards Chicago. I found this beautiful place on Google maps while searching for Ethnic Arabic food and deserts.So, I took my daughter with for the experience and joy of trying something different. As a Middle Eastern myself I remember doing the same with my father growing up.Hands down very impressed with the bakery. I’ll be coming back as often as I can.The picture is of my daughter and I with the owner and his son. Thanks for the great conversations.“

“Best place on the planet when you need a custom cake and dessert display I can't explain how good these people are they take pride in there work I'm so proud and grateful that I met them and they treat me like family absolutely the greatest tasting desserts and cake I ever had I posted some pictures. ATTENTION PLEASE are you guys listening to me I just said the best place on the planet stop looking anywhere else and mess with the best.... CAKES DESSERTS FRESH FRUIT CARVED DISPLAYS DESSERT TABLES Trust me you will love it I Promise“

“We had the Bourbon flavor & Sweet-Heat Wings…delicious! And the ribs were melt in your mouth goodness! Can also highly recommend the caramel cake & lunchroom butter cookies! Granny and Debbie are welcoming & make you feel like family! We will definitely be ordering again!“

“Just want to extend my gratitude for the staff at the bakery. Jenn, Carlie, Alyssa all supported my efforts to make my dad’s 70th birthday special. He doesn’t ask for much so when he said he wanted a three layer white cake with buttercream between the layers, that’s what I set out to accomplish. No worries, they said. ? The cake was delicious and HUGE!! Like, I had to give cake to the restaurant staff to prevent him from going home and entering a sugar coma!! They even found an eatable image to match my theme. Thank a thousand times! New favorite bakery. We’ll be back “

“Witek's offers a nice variety of Polish pastries. It's a cute little bakery with friendly staff. Their version of the plecionka (raisin bread) is the best in the area! The pączki are also delicious! Definitely stop by if you're looking for some authentic and fresh Polish desserts and breads!“

“This has been a treat. From asking her what I wanted to the detail in my nieces cake. But WAIT, the flavor was fantastic ? if you want custom cakes and are looking for the best flavor and fresh. This is your place, and I will totally recommend it“

“Very friendly service! Was able to sample some of the food items ( Thanks Souna!, forgive the misspelling) Food is very fresh and the large Kabob plate is delicious and very plentiful. Love the Falafel and the Kibbeh was good. Really good is the Arabic pizza the cheese and grilled veggie one. I will be returning!“

“They are pretty good, pretty damn close to the original cook, but not spot on. But you won't be disappointed in them, they are a nice size and have a nice thickness to them, and most of all them moist and make you feel you are eating the real thing. I order a full case of butter and case of peanut butter. I think I will start ordering these for family holidays, I know they would much rather eat these cookies that cake all the time.“

“I've been to this location several times. Quick and friendly service. I like it when they bring in flavors that are only in for a limited time because they taste good. My favorite is the white chocolate raspberry. Overall, this location is fantastic.Photos below:1. White raspberry & key lime bundtlets2. Outside view3. Inside view4. Flavors“
