“GREAT ATMOSPHERE- GREAT COFFEE & that Ham & Cheese Roll was amazing“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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 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.“

“That Little French Guy makes us happy every time we head that way. The Champs de Élysées doesn’t have better! It’s being back in Paris, every unique French delight. Thank you for our favorite place to visit often.“

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

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Good food very friendly employees clean store 🏬“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wonderful Bakery. Definitely worth a visit.

I have ordered many cakes from them. All have been great.
Even if you order them ahead of time. They seem to make your orders, so they finish them at the agreed order date. Always very fresh.

Their chocolate Ganache cake is a fan favorite whenever I order that. I personally like their strawberry vanilla cream cake. T

heir donuts are also good if your looking for a morning or weekend treat.
Same with their huge variety of cookies.

Lucky to have such a nice bakery in town.“

“Very nice, very friendly store with a great selection of bundt cakes in various sizes. Go and enjoy, you deserve it...“

“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!“

“Delicious fresh and ever changing menu“

“What can I say: the bakery, food, and drink offerings here are outstanding and the owner is incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about what she's doing.

You really can't go wrong with any of the grab and go cake, cupcake, or pastry items. We've gotten many of them, and we've also gotten special order cakes from here that have been wonderful. Their breakfast burritos (vegetarian or not) are a great quick breakfast option. The quiches (which are relatively new) are exceptional. The hibiscus agua fresca is a lovely refreshing drink for a hot day.

I hope this place stays here for a long time because its popularity has added liveliness to the Roger Williams area.“

“Everything here is incredibly delicious! I guarantee that anything you try you will love! ☺️ I have been getting my cakes from Gourmet Frog for over 15 years, and from my wedding day to just because I was having a bad day and needed a little treat, it's always a hit! I can't recommend froggies enough! (What I endearingly call them ?)“

“I picked up a Piña Colada rum cake today and it was absolutely delicious. I took it to a family gathering and it was a hit! Nana was super sweet! I own a small cake and cupcake business and I shared this place on my own business page. Was way to delicious and had to tell everyone we know!“

“We love HH goodies! Everything is always so yummy and LOVE how they’re always coming up with new creations. We also enjoy their pop up events and love the fact they do pre-orders. Highly recommend.“

“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“

“My boyfriend ordered my birthday cake from here since we love the pastries and he wanted to give the cake a try. Absolutely phenomenal. He said he had a great experience ordering and the cake was 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.“

“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!“

“Nice and tasty and a great gluten free option“

“Great place for finding a gift or sweet treat! They do have coffee -- I just haven't tried any. I usually get lost in the merchandise because it is so interesting and varied - and not overly expensive! You can't help but buy a gift or two for yourself as well.....“

“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.“
