50 Best Bakeries near Palatine

“Good food very friendly employees clean store 🏬“

“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.“

“Beautiful selection of desserts and pastries!! Coming back in a few days to get a big flan for my brother's birthday and I grabbed a personal slice to snack on in the meantime. The flan is thick and silky, the empanadas are soft and I recommend heating them up for a few seconds at home!

All these pastries plus flan plus a Jarritos only $11 and some change. 10/10 recommend you stop by.“

“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.“

“I loved my visit to Tous Les Jours Bakery Café! The pastries were fresh, soft, and not overly sweet — just perfect. They have a great selection of cakes, breads, and drinks, and everything looks beautiful and tastes amazing. The café is clean, cozy, and very welcoming. The staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely a great place to stop by for coffee, a treat, or to pick up something delicious to take home. Highly recommend!“

“The cookies are very good. The frosting is yummy! The person was very nice. I would recommend it for those who have a sweet tooth. 😉 I did not take pics but it is the same thing on the website. They have 7 different kind of cookies, large or small.“

“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.“

“A huge THANK YOU to Central Continental Bakery for creating the most beautiful, delicious cake for my daughters baby shower. I cannot tell you how many guests asked me where it was from. Their attention to detail is extraordinary. Their patience (Bobby) was above and beyond and he really listened to my description of what I was trying to achieve. THANK YOU! Thank you for making our special day even that much more beautiful!“

“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.“

“Everyone keeps talking about the cakes but everyone has been missing out on the absolutely 5 star cookies! We were able to try these at work, thanks to the absolutely wonderful donation of their products to help share with the community on Friday’s and for this we are so grateful and want to wish you good luck because the taste is wonderful!“

“NOT a rip off crumble this is where u wanna be it was that good. If you see this in the same week get the oreo cheesecake. Got it twice and got even better the second time and they are always fresh. Ive gone 2 times so far and this is the new spot.“

“We went there for the first time yesterday. The staff is really helpful and friendly. I got the apple slice, oatmeal cranberry cookies and a raspberry kolaczki. The apple slice and the oatmeal cookies were some of the best I’ve had in a while. I haven’t gotten around to the kolaczki yet but I’m sure it’s delicious as well“

“There are a lot of mixed reviews here. Our experience was great! The lady behind the counter was super nice and answered the few questions we had. The cookies were amazing (lucky for us, it was a Dubai chocolate cookie week). Everything was clean, nice and pleasant. We'll be back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“My fave cakeshop ever! I love their We always come here for sponge cakes, no matter the occasion. I’m super picky with cakes, but these ones completely win me over—it’s not just how pretty they look, it’s the taste and texture too. The mango shortcake and red velvet are our faves and absolute must-tries, and the Kahlua is seriously amazing as well! I love that they sell by the slice so you can sample different ones and discover your favorite.“

“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! 💕“

“One of the best bakeries. I highly recommend this place, especially if you dislike the typical excessively sweet American bakeries. Some of my favorites are, buttercream bread loaf, almond croissant, taro cream bread, spinach feta danish. Too bad it's a small place. Expect to order to go.“

“Love this location! The pastries and donuts are fresh and delicious, the drinks are super well made, and the staff are polite, friendly, and helpful. I love coming here before or after a movie— don’t have a pic as I ate it too quickly, but the chocolate donut is incredible. The filling is chocolatey but light, the donut itself is airy and not too sweet. The chai latte is also fantastic. Highly recommend :)“

“Fausto’s always has amazing food! Had dinner with family there tonight! Everything was fantastic! The food is homemade and is delicious!“

“It's my first time going there. I parked where the empty boxes are... a huge mistake. You have to line up before turning towards the gate. When a trailer comes out, you go forward and people ask which gate you're going to park at. My mistake cost me 6 hours.“

“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.“
