“We stopped in today on a tip and what a delicious treat! Highly recommend!“

“When I think about our trip to Chicago, the first thing that comes to mind, is Bang Bang Pies. I have never been in awe of such a place. The staff was so kind and patient. We had the most DELICIOUS pie and breakfasts I can ever recall. I can’t remember what my husband got because I am still drooling over the BLT with those earth shattering tomatoes that tasted like heaven. The biscuits were top notch and melted like butter in your mouth. And the pie! Oh my god that pie. It was the plum blackberry pie that I just know, I’ll never be able to recreate that as much as I would love to. Being from south Louisiana and having such amazing food up north was so unexpected and a wonderful surprise for us. Once we financially recover from all the money we spent while on our honeymoon (one of the reasons we were in Chicago) I’m ordering every single item online that I possibly can because I need to make sure that I can enjoy this place from home.“

“Sugar Moon is a charming bakery and café in Logan Square that’s perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. Their pastries, cookies, and cakes are beautifully crafted and incredibly flavorful—everything tastes fresh and made with care. The coffee and espresso drinks pair perfectly with the baked goods, making it a great spot for breakfast or a mid-afternoon treat. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with friendly staff who make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. A must-visit for delicious desserts and a relaxed, cheerful vibe.“

“This place is a gem! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how kind and knowledgeable the staff was. The girl who helped me was so sweet, super patient, and explained everything perfectly. You can really tell they care about the customer experience and make sure you feel comfortable and taken care of. Now let’s talk about the lemonades—WOW. Infused and delicious, it was honestly one of the best lemonades I’ve ever had. And the baked goods? Incredible. Soft, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. Everything I tried was amazing, and I can’t wait to go back and try more. I seriously love, love, love this place. The staff, the products, the vibe—Blazed Bakery is on point. Thank you for such an awesome experience!“

“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 bread is out of this world. My personal favorite is the seeded. The pastries are also very good. What a treasure.“

“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.“

“I can’t say enough great things about this place, I make a stop every chance I get! I’ve tried nearly everything, but the Kale scones are amazing! The coffee drinks are great and delicious. I’m a full time working mom, and my parents who watch my baby while I work said the only payment they need is a box of broken tart pastries! The people there are great, they really work as a team and are super efficient. Saturdays beware though, people are lined up, and for good reason!“

“Absolutely delicious cake that looked great too. ❤️“

“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 !“

“Mr Cake Never Disappoints. The staff is so incredibly friendly and pay attention to detail. Their cakes are always rich in flavor, soft and never dry. I have ordered a lot of cakes from them in the past but this time around I had to order my cake over the phone since I could not make it in. I had full faith in them to design my daughter’s cake with one request, light pink with white flowers. I knew I was going to love whatever design they came up with because they are just that good. Thank you Mr Cake!“

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

“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.“

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

“Simply the best cheesecake in the Chicagoland area! Always delicious, always fresh upon thawing, always our family’s favorite. Chocolate chip is especially outstanding and we love the key lime too. A lotta love in those slices! Can’t imagine going anywhere else.“

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

“This place is great but I had to stop going here. If I can't see a nutrition label or AT LEAST how many calories are in one of the donut I'll pass because what are we hiding here?? Other donut shops do and the fact I can see what kind of trouble I'm getting myself into actually helps me in my life 😅 Let me pick and choose my poison.“

“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.“

“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!“

“fantastic fresh and tasty cookies~ but, their brownies are even better😍🙌 I received a corporate freebie from NJC. When my package arrived it was not in perfect condition....having traveled through a snow storm and a holiday weekend...it was disappointing..(FedEx, not them) I called them to say hello and alert them to my sadness....They not only replaced the promo box, but added extra goodies and shipped it overnight with a sweet message from the owner. 👍😍 First Class all the way...And, AMAZING sweets! I'd recommended this company for any corporate gift program. Thanks Jonathan.“

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

“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!“

“I am super excited because they opened a new location near me in Birmingham. MI

Organic and super fresh baked French goods are rare to find! The croissants are so soft inside and crunchy outside😋😋This bakery deserves more than 5-stars. Check them out and you will visit again I promise.“

“I stopped by this past Saturday to pick up some pastries and bread for friends that watched my dog while I was out of town. They have a huge selection and everything I purchased looked delicious. Their prices are also so reasonable. I will be recommending them to all of my friends and family.“

“Pan Artesanal slaps every time.“

“North Shore Bakery Rocks!! I have been going to this amazing Bakery since High School and let me tell you..... I love the bagels, challah bread, and cinnamon coffee cake. They make the best baked goods in town. I wanted to mention and recognize Ayellet for her hard work and dedication to the business and her customers. When I go into the store for my baked goods I always get a welcome with a smile. North Shore Bakery always makes me feel like I am there only customer they have! Thank you for your amazing selections, presentation, and kind approach to the art of baking and customer service! It does not go unnoticed. Thank you for continuing to be open during these difficult times we are facing.“

“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.“

“Amazing Pizza. Top notch staff and service. This place is a must try!!!“

“Cada vez que visito Chicago, se que siempre tengo que dar una visita aquí. Hacen el pan tan delicioso y siempre me recuerda a mi linda Guatemala. Ayer pude comprar tamales y chiles rellenos 👌🏽 no decepcionaron. Recomiendo probar el pan dulce y comida de aquí. Muy delicioso y no puedo esperar a mi siguiente visita!“

“Highly recommend - I'm a picky eater and I pay attention to hygiene in a food store - the pastries were super-fresh and delicious“

“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!“

“We love these cookies! The chocolate chip is always a family favorite but we like the fun of the variety too. Curbside or delivery service are a huge plus!

Vegetarian options: Dessert!

Parking: Huge lot. Dedicated spots for curbside service.

Kid-friendliness: Nowhere to eat inside. But the flavors are always exciting for the kids. Especially the extras like shark gummies.“

“Love this bakery. Have been going there for years. Always has delicious pastry treats.“

“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.“

“Jorge and his team, especially Josh, are the most welcoming, accommodating people. They truly love what they do and strive to make your day special. They made a cake for my husband's birthday on fairly short notice that was beautiful, better than expected, and delicious! The cream and fruit filling were fresh and not too sweet but honestly the actual cake itself, even though it was just vanilla, was so light and airy. I've never had cake like this! Definitely recommend supporting this wonderful business and will be back for more!“

“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!“

“Without a doubt, the best bagel I’ve had in Chicago.
Authentic NY style bagel spot with tons of baked goods.
Bagel is amazingly crispy and the everything had so much flavor without just being overly salty like some places do.
Also got a bialy and the cream cheese was fantastic! Brings me right back to visiting my uncle in New York as a kid.

10/10, Will be back. (and next time, I’m buying a t-shirt!)“

“Vegetarian options: nice

Dietary restrictions: good

Parking: Great parking!

Kid-friendliness: it’s really great for kids to do like a taste test

Wheelchair accessibility: good“

“They have great selection of deli meat and their soups are great. I am addicted to their cheesecake.“

“Adoro sus pasteles y sus chicos muy amables“

“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“

“I recently visited this spot and tried the Nova Lox Bagel. While the bagel itself was fresh and well-toasted, the salmon was a letdown. Nova lox is typically known for being less salty than regular smoked salmon, but in this case, it was overly salty and overwhelmed the other flavors. The toppings, like cream cheese, capers, and onions, were well-balanced, but the saltiness of the salmon really detracted from the overall experience.

I also decided to try the apricot cookie, but that turned out to be a mistake. I was surprised to learn it cost nearly $5—far more than I expected for a single cookie. Unfortunately, the taste was disappointing; it was so unpalatable that I couldn’t even finish it. The texture was dense and off-putting, and the apricot flavor was barely there. It felt like a waste of money, and I left feeling dissatisfied.

The prices were reasonable for the bagel, but the quality didn’t fully match my expectations. As for the cookie, it was overpriced and not worth trying again. Overall, a mixed experience—there’s potential, but the execution fell short.“

“Yummy and fresh cakes and placinte! Recommend this place.“

“High quality and super fresh coffee cakes and donuts. Are they expensive? Sure, but so are grocery items, such as milk, eggs and sugar. Superb quality. You get what you pay for and you are getting top quality while supporting a small business.“

“Amazing fresh product, you must taste and definitely won’t regret Keep up the great work“

“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.“
