9 Best Bakeries near Pekin

“Only difficulty with this Crumbl store is sometimes they say they are sold out of a certain favorite flavor of cookie online... so I pick another less wanted flavor and at the time of pick up - there in-person, the favorite flavor is magically there. At pick up, it's frustrating to see this as I usually don't make staff switch out less desired cookie for the favorite one as time is a factor or length of line. Makes me not want to patronize establishment when I'm paying $5+ for one cookie. It seems there should be a way to keep better track of inventory when alot of business is handled online or using the Ipad ordering system in the store. The above happened 2x in one week. The product is delicious and when they have cookies advertised in stock, it's a great process.“

“Ardor provides an incredibly wonderful culinary experience right here in downtown Peoria. The food is so fresh, high quality, and full of amazing flavors. Their menu features many different options and each is beautifully presented by the very talented crew. I’ve enjoyed watching the staff prepare the food to absolute perfection - Alyssa and Kaitlynn in the mornings and Emily and Zeke in the evenings. I regularly pop in and sit at the bar without a reservation. If you don’t wish to sit at the bar, don't be surprised if you can't get a table without a reservation, and even at the bar there can be a wait to get a seat. Last week I had the tomato soup and grilled cheese and it was the best comfort food. Visit often, try the new items, find your favorites, and definitely take home some bakery goodies. Make sure to try a fabulous cocktail crafted by mixologist, Kostas. You won’t be disappointed.“

“This is a great place to buy in larger quantities than normal grocery stores. They have some really super deals, you just have to browse. The quality of their meat is excellent and they have a huge variety. When you’re finished with shopping, you can eat there really cheap but good! Sometimes they have food samples to try also. The yearly cost is worth it!“

“These tamales are seriously the best! Every year we eat tamales for Christmas, and we’ve ordered from a few different places that were good, but these are beyond any of the others. They taste and remind me of home! I highly recommend snagging some! So good!“

“Amazing place to stop and grab some perfect donuts from some amazing people. Haven't had a quality donut like these in years! Recommended 10/10. They also have tenderloin Thursdays and fried chicken Fridays ! Can't wait to stop in and try some of that ! Keep up the great work and keep pushing! I will certainly revisit with my family again!“

“it's a good store I you don't have to worry about young peoples hanging out around the store good environment good prices friendly service“

“We received a cookie bouquet from my parents as a get well present. The cookies tasted delicious & we loved the designs. It made my son’s day. Also, the delivery driver was very friendly. I will definitely be ordering more cookies in the future.“

“I work downtown and go here at least once a week. I order the same thing when I go, 16oz Fr Vanilla Latte with half and half. Depending who was working the counter I would get charged differently each time. $5.66 one day or $6.77 the next. I asked one day and was told I was being charged for the half and half. Ok fine, BUT today I go there and order the same drink and they wanted to charge me $7.00 for a 16oz??? Starbucks and Dunkin charge $4.49 for the same drink and size. I go to CXT to support local. But today was probably my last day. The gentleman today fixed me up and I was charged $5.00. I think you Managers better circle back because no one will pay $7.00 for a 16oz iced latte.“
