50 Best Bakeries near River Grove

“everything is good!! family owned!!“

“The people running this place are delightful, and all of their food is so good it's unreal. I don't even like cake on a good day, but after trying their cup cake (the peanut butter chocolate one), I went back for seconds and thirds.“

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

“I’ve been going to Bang Bang Pie & Biscuits for years — back when my cousin worked there — and it’s still one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. The ginger cookies are reason enough to visit on their own.

Everything feels thoughtful without feeling overdone. Great food, great people, and the kind of place that becomes part of your routine before you realize it. Logan Square wouldn’t feel quite the same without it.“

“Always loved their Greek pastries, they are the best, started going to them 60 yrs ago with my mom and dad. We were always going to Hellas for our parties baptisms and weddings. All our holiday needs were easily available for us. Unfortunately, we moved out to Poplar Grove, Illinois near Belvedere and have missed them greatly. Always love them and it brings a tears to my eyes, that they are still around. God bless them. My parents knew the owners personally.“

“Wow, this bakery is amazing! I’ve been here twice, and everything is so delicious! Plus, everyone is super friendly. I usually get the chai spice roll (it’s the best!) and any savory pastry I’m in the mood for. They have such a wide variety of options. I’ll definitely be back every time!“

“it's the best Bakery around..“

“Delicious goodies and bread. Amazing sandwiches and specialty items. Nicest family inthe world owns it! Been around forever. Always a stop when I go back to my hood as a kid.“

“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!“

“The cheesecake, macarons and panna Cotta was fabulous! The owners are so very nice with a lovely business.“

“I love the fresh food , reasonable prices and how polite and helpful the ladies are. I have been going to this bakery for over 18 years. I moved far from it, and I drive an hour to come buy from there.“

“I've been here twice now and I've enjoyed both experiences. I did a cake tasting and had a hard time choosing I went with a two tiered cake. Staff is really friendly and the atmosphere was really relaxing. Also tried and enjoyed the Mexican strawberry matcha world cup drink 🇲🇽“

“I had never tried Korean pastries before and these were amazing! Bertha was so kind and explained all the different options and I chose the savory bread, mocha and a small sampler of chestnut, green tea and mocha. The savory bread was the perfect mashup of the best egg roll filling stuffed in a pillowy bread with a crunchy top. So amazing. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had Maria and Ashley was very amazing with giving the best experience to customers no matter who you are and the food just as good, the whole team there could be seen giving their all, will definitely come again with friends!!“

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

“oh my gosh, Hewn is so cool – – such inventive and hearty and wholesome and beautiful flavor combinations – – I especially love what they do with fruit and nuts. I’m not surprised at all that their holiday special offerings sell out so quickly – – This is a special kind of bakery – – not too refined as to only have the sweetest and most delicate of desserts – – but more of a chefs kind of place – – you know the ingredients are going to be the finest out there. My only quibble is the inflexibility with the vegetarian sandwiches in their refrigerator – – the staff would not make me a fresh sandwich. But this is a minor quibble. I really do recommend them without reservation.“

“Shout out for the perfect Pastries for my daughter’s shower!“

“The cookies are amazing as always! Staff can try to be a little more friendlier they give the factory worker feel (hot miserable & not trying to be there). Doesn’t feel welcoming but thankfully I’m not there for them 🤪 there for the cookiesss but a lil customer service goes a long way & if that’s too much try smiling it’s contagious! 😊“

“The best thing about this cafe is that I do not live anywhere near it, so I can't go every day. But for real, everything I have had from them from savory to sweet has been absolutely fantastic, and I am not easy to please when it comes to baked goods. I cannot comment on the coffee, because I don't drink it.

But try a cookie! Or a scone! Or a biscuit!“

“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.“

“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.“

“There cakes and delicious Italian desserts yummy !“

“Lovely spot in downtown Westmont! Sweet and savory food options that are all delicious. We really enjoy going to this unique spot for breakfast and brunch.“

“Mr. Cake makes such beautiful and delicious cakes. We were very surprised on how these turned out. I provided the picture for reference and the way they decorated both cakes was so beautiful. My kids loved them! I will keep ordering from them.“

“I luv Namit Cafe, The food is good Owner is very friendly You feel like you're part of the family Good luck guys Luv you all“

“Pan Artesanal slaps every time.“

“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.“

“A wonderful place to get fresh-baked Japanese bakery treats. I've made many visits over the past few years and enjoyed everything. I've been fortunate enough to travel to Japan many times over the same period, and there are several items that I think are better here. The service is always friendly and prompt. The little strip mall it is in is, unfortunately, not thriving, but oh well.“

“We went straight here when we got off our flight from Ohare and do not regret it! They were so nice! The owners greeted us and the staff were so friendly. The cheesecake was the best cheesecake I’ve had! Can’t wait to go back or at least order some online! 10/10 recommend!“

“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!“

“Our server was amazing! Had a wonderful time ❤️“

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

“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.“

“This place is great! Late hours, impeccable sandwiches, and super cool to see the bagels being made in the back! Its even better now that I can paint ceramics next door at Paint-n-Party and get a snack while I wait for them to dry. I will be doing both much more frequently!“

“We’re so fortunate to have this gem of a local bakery nearby. My celiac daughter loves that she can eat ANYTHING from here. I’m not GF, and I think everything is delicious too. We love Sweet Ali’s!“

“David from Iced Bakery went above and beyond to make a beautiful cake and cupcakes for a co-workers baby shower. Both were exactly what we asked for. He was very accommodating with what I was asking for and even the pick up time. The cake and cupcakes were delicious! Many of my co-workers said the same thing and asked for the bakery information which I gladly passed along. Do not hesitate to choose Iced Bakery for your next bakery need! I highly recommend Iced!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“
