15 Best Bakeries in Peoria

“These cookies are always good. Some flavors are overly sweet though. I suggest buying the cookie cutter they sell, see as 1/4 of a cookie is the recommended serving size. It is that way for good reason. More than that can be sweet overkill. My spouse and I usually go every couple weeks and share a new cookie flavor together. It is very fun to try all the new flavors that they switch out weekly.
This location has workers that are a little less friendly than the East Peoria location. But it's not too bad.“

“I'm very impressed with Ardor Breads. This old building used to be a plumber's office/store and they remodeled it into a nice restaurant. I came in for breakfast and sat near the counter, where I could see all the beautiful/tasty items coming out fresh from the kitchen, and I was truly amazed at all the delicious looking food. Nice crowd in here and many others were seated at tables outside. Place was packed! I loved my Zucchini Omelet with fresh orange juice. Staff were professional and very kind to me. Before leaving, I bought a few beautiful pastries that I saw in the window. Great breads, pastries, & food! I'll be back! (2024) 🥚🍳 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The best sourdough I’ve ever had, hands down. Going to the Sheridan market to get my sourdough every Wednesday is now the highlight of my week. Super sweet, friendly people. Out of this world bread! Can’t wait to try my bagels and my jam 😍“

“We celebrate as often about the big and little things, just so we have a reason to go in and eat our favorite goodies! As well as sweets, they have a lovely menu for a quick and healthy lunch while on the go or for a quaint sit and bite. Our family loves going here and is always welcomed by the great staff and wonderful owners. They did our wedding cake (the tiramisu) and several birthdays over the years!“

“I custom ordered a birthday cake and I got the exact design I requested! It actually exceeded my expectations, the attention to detail was perfect and all add ons (flowers, glitter etc) 100% edible, not too mention great taste 🩵 Great customer service, speedy response, will continue to shop with them and recommend to everyone ✨“

“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!“

“Absolutely Amazing!!!!! Diana was so sweet and great to work with! we had a last minute order and she was so accommodating to everything! The macaroons were absolutely amazing and delicious! We will be back for sure! If you want amazing serive, great taste, quality and pricing, this is for sure your go to place!“

“They made an amazing gluten free chocolate chip cake that was moist with a cream cheese frosting! My family bought it for an event where multiple guests had gluten sensitivities, and everyone ended up enjoying it; of the entire dessert table, that cake disappeared quite quickly!“

“We bought two of everything this morning. Only regret was that we didn't buy more. 😍“

“The service and food is great here. I would highly recommend coming to this Perkins. The pancakes are the best in town by far.“

“Yummy frozen yogurt with so many toppings and friendly staff!“

“Great Harvest has yummy baked goods and delicious sandwiches for lunch! I highly recommend all of their locations! Excellent small business which has been around for many years!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“
