“Placed my tamale order last night and I picked up the freshest ever just made this morning tamales. I ordered pork, pepper/cheese, and sweet pineapple. Each type is delicious, moist, and full of distinct flavor. You will not be disappointed. And the service made the visit all the more pleasant. Authentic tamales and English is spoken too. THE BEST!!@“

“I am only getting my cupcakes/cakes from Sweet C’s. Love the online availability through her website.

I ordered through Sweet C’s website for a birthday and I was behind on ordering due to my kids being sick. Celia was extremely kind despite it being a last minute order that was 100% my fault.

She had 2 dozen cupcakes for me and they were delicious. Everyone loved them - from the adults to the kids at the party. I always order extra cupcakes to bring home in case I can’t sit down at the party and enjoy a cupcake. I only have 2 left over and now have to share with the kids?! Not happy. Next time I’m giving myself a 6 cupcake buffer instead of 4.

Very easy to communicate with, is on time for pick up the cupcakes and you can still upload a design like she had in store. 10/10 recommend. We went with chocolate cupcakes and a vanilla buttercream. The cupcake will so soft and the buttercream was perfectly fluffy and just the right amount of sweetness. Very well balanced cupcake.

The customer service and the cupcakes were both outstanding. Placing my cupcake order for my birthday today with a 1/2 dozen cookie kit for Halloween.

Dietary restrictions: Able to have some accommodations for dietary restrictions but like many bakeries, cross contamination can happen. She has an info section on this on her website.

Kid-friendliness: She was amazing with my youngest who attempted to place a birthday cake order for June of 2025.“

“Catie's Confections are some of the most delicious I've ever had! I am excited to get more in the future and share my experience! Catie is super kind and helpful and wants to get everything made for you correctly and on time. She pours her heart and soul into this, clearly, and I'm fortunate I've crossed paths with her on more than one occasion! Thanks Catie!“

“My company, Epiq Solutions, ordered a custom cake to mimic one of our products. We are an engineering company, so this is no easy task. Central Continental nailed it with the look and the taste! Well done, and thank you!“

“Best holiday desserts !! Giant Cannoli is the best !!“

“I just want to give a shoutout to Arlington Heights IL Crumbl. On a day they were slammed due to Dubai week—they prepped my order an hour early, so I could make it to the hospital, to see my dad, in time for visiting hours. Young lady at the front, Tuesday the 19th, was fantastic. Thank you.
Tip well—especially on a week like this“

“This is the best Japanese bakery around. I have been coming here for years. The bread is so delicious you can eat it by itself and it is also the perfect bread for sandwiches and even French Toast. They have a wide variety of delicious pastries as well. I highly recommend Crescent Bakery. You will not be disappointed.“

“Great quality french pastries. Excellent service . Highly recommended“

“Friendly staff who do magnificent work!“

“Samaris created the best thickest 3 layer sheet cake for a baby shower for me. Every one at the party raved about that cake. I know vanilla cake is hard to ace and this was A+. I recommend the strawberry mousse filling.“

“Amazing! Beat around!!!!“

“😋Everything is just delicious and fresh. Best bread and coffeecakes around.“

“We tried two slices of cake and two pastries. The cakes were absolutely amazing — so light, fluffy, and delicious! We’ll definitely be coming back for more and can’t wait to try other flavors. The pastries looked beautiful, but we weren’t big fans of the filling — it had a pudding-like texture that just wasn’t to our taste. Still, that’s a personal preference, so I’m not taking off any stars for it!“

“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.“

“She's got the most delicious pastries, but not only that, we used her for making our wedding cake, and man was it good! Even our guests that had cake loved it! I would give her 10/10 rating and will most definitely recommend touch of sweets to anyone who's looking for a baker for their wedding. Thank you to her for making not only a beautiful cake, but making it so delicious.“

“4th Update (Sept 3, 2025)
I’ve ordered four different crepe mille cakes now and each cake as pretty and delicious as ever.
——————————
Update: A few months later, I ordered an 8” Mille crepe cake with passionfruit filling and asked for a custom design of poppy flowers because the birthday girl loves poppies. The cake was so fresh and tasted divine! The party guests were super super impressed and asked me where I bought the cake, what kind cake is it, what flavor?
———————————
Absolutely delicious Mille crepe cake!! I decided to order a birthday cake and some mini cakes without tasting anything first. My friends were blown away by how good the passion fruit flavor was!! The owner was also super easy to work with. She texted me pictures of different designs she can do. She’s so creative!!!“

“Delicious fresh and ever changing menu“

“Delicious. I have never tasted something more scrumptious. I love the workers. They are my true friends. They get me, they are there for me, and they see me on my worst and best days. I make it my life goal to go everyday just to see them. They know me by name. 10/10. Love it here.“

“Very nice restaurant and delicious food For the first time there i am very thankful to our server Dilnaz and specially the girl Sky who explained and recommended what should I try and make sure everything was OK Thank you Thank you“

“Sweet T's made an extraordinary cake for my daughter's baby shower. Not only was it adorable but everyone loved the amazing cake itself.“

“Thank you so much for putting together the 150 miniconchitas for our event photos with Santa. Your attention to detail and delicious creations truly made the event magical. The miniconchitas were a hit with everyone, adding a special touch to our festive photos. We couldn't have asked for better service or tastier treats.

Highly recommend !! for any event or special occasion!“

Kid-friendliness: Fire

Wheelchair accessibility: Perfect“

“I tried the honey lavender matcha latte, and it was very delicious. I'm a huge matcha girly, and the amount/flavor of matcha did not disappoint- it was a dark green but still was very creamy. It was understandably sweet, which wasn't to my taste, but I did love the honey and lavender flavoring. I ordered a hot drink because the mall is cold, and the temperature is perfect- hot but not enough to burn my taste buds. Now I can comfortably sit down and study. The only thing is that it's very open to the mall (like, it's giving open floor design) so there's something weirdos walking by and being rowdy. It's not really a cozy café, but it's still very aesthetic and sleek (like all TLJ's).“

“Probably the best slice of matcha green tea cake I've had, it was delightful. We also ordered a tiramisu cake, which was very decadent and rich (much better than what we had at Tous Les Jours) and a slice of Kahlua. However, they hardly had anything on display that early Saturday afternoon, it's best to order in advance to avoid waiting for them to prepare. Just wished they had more cakes on display. The staff is friendly and courteous. I would highly recommend it.“

“Just popping on here to say I really like this Crumbl location! I’ve been a big fan of Crumbl for about 4 years now and this location always has consistently great treats. The employees at this Vernon Hills Crumbl are always friendly. I’ve had some nice, light-hearted experiences during order pickup, and they’ve always been efficient and professional, too. I’m easily giving them 5 stars — without hesitation!“

“My grandpa ordered cookies from The Cookie Garden for my grandma and mom every Valentine’s day for as long as I can remember. After he passed away last summer, my sister and I decided to keep the tradition going and surprise them. They both had flavor preferences and I was unable to remember them. I emailed them to see if they’d be able to look up his past orders. I received a response the next morning from Jeannie and she was able to find the past orders and told me the flavors he usually order them. She remembered my grandpa and had planned on calling to check-in with him, since she was expecting his order this year. The shipping was fast and the cookies arrived on the day I requested, they were also able to accommodate to their flavor preferences. The cookies were amazing as usual and my grandma and mom were surprised when they found out who sent them. Thank you so much to Jeannie and The Cookie Garden! 💕“

“The best coffee I ever had: Lavender Coffee! The pastries are melting in your mouth!“

“I recently visited Handsome Bakery & Cafe, and i must say the display was beautifully arranged with an array of treats—flaky croissants, decadent cakes, and artisan breads that looked too good to resist. I tried their signature almond croissants, and it was heavenly—perfectly balanced in flavor and texture. Their coffee was also a great complement, rich and smooth.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great place!! Definitely will recommend to everyone!!“

“I am now in love & have found my new little favorite bakery. When I walked in I thought it was the cutest little shop ever. So bright & clean. 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.“

“Huge thank you to Cindy! My baby was sleeping in the car and I didn’t want to wake her. I paid over the phone and cindy ran it out to my car. Great service!“

“Great place! Everything is awesome!“

“I was looking for a custom cake with the flavors of an all time classic candy (Bubu lubu). I went in brought the sample and it was done! In the process, I loved how exited the baker was to make my order, he was acomodating and happy to do this cake. The price was reasonable and the taste was very good! The only little detail here is that when I called to see if it was ready the person at the other end without asking any details about my order was rude. I was asking if I could pick up a bit earlier and promptly answered “no, all orders must be picked up at the time agreed when placing the order”. When I said thank you and mentioned it was a cake, she said the order was ready. This is why it’s 4 stars and not 5….“

“Ordered a custom birthday cake that was delicious & beautifully decorated. Great quality & attention to detail!“
