“Amazing little coffee shop in downtown Elgin. The vibes remind me of being in a small town! They make sure everything is perfection for you when ordering. The coffee packs a punch with good flavor which tells ya they are for-real. I’ll be back for another cup whenever I’m around town.“
“We recently went to Cakes by Kash for our gender reveal cake! It was such a pleasure working with Lindsey and she made the process fun and easy. My husband and I were able to pick out flavors and everything turned out to be delicious! We will definitely be back for our next cake!“
“After two failed attempts, I eventually acquired the cinnamon square. I swear, when I placed my order using the kiosk machine, it appeared before me in a supernatural manner. I was amazed at how quickly it was ready. It was warm and moist as I bite into it. The texture and temperature were perfect, the icing was silky, and the dough was fluffy, but the flavor was weak, I didn't notice a strong cinnamon aroma.“
“I had a custom birthday cake made for my husbands birthday and it was even more perfect than I could’ve imagined! It was a highlight of the party! She replicated exactly what I asked for and exceeded my expectations. Not to mention the cake was delicious too! Highly recommend!“
“We are so glad that we stopped by this hidden gem small family own business. Although the store display look kind of empty, what they have are very good. We had the BBQ pork bun (very good), 3 kind of Mille crepe cake (strawberry, rainbow and coffee, all are delicious), mini cookies (also delicious). We also had brown sugar bubble tea and taro sago coconut milk drink (soo good). If you order $30 or more, you get a free Mille crepe cake. Plus, the lady owner is very friendly. We are so happy to find this Asian bakery/dessert place in the Barrington area. We will come back for sure.“
“We have lived here for a year now and finally had the opportunity to visit this place. It did not disappoint! I felt like I was back in New York at one of the Italian places I used to frequently visit in my childhood. It was very nostalgic for me and the food did not disappoint! I would definitely go back there! The staff is kind and very helpful don’t pass up this little gem!“
“And absolutely amazing place far surpasses any fast food, you can get, including Panera and subway, fresh cut deli meats made to order massive ham and cheese sandwich for less than six dollars lots of sides dinners you can take home my highest “
“Elder and Oat provided donuts and coffee for dessert at our wedding at the BRIX and the spread of donuts were not only so beautiful but so delicious! We had no leftovers with even ordering enough for the size of our wedding because people couldn’t get enough! We highly recommend using them as your dessert vendor for your wedding!“
“The Best Bakery in the North West suburbs of Chicago. I lived in the area for over 31years before moving to AZ. We have been in Arizona for almost six years and I have been searching for a bakery that comes close to Peterson's. I have not found one yet. The bakeries that I have found in Arizona don't have danish sweet rolls. They don't have the same fillings. The Swedish flops are a special treat. Peterson's was a regular stop on my way home from church. If you enjoy fresh bakery goods and are in the Hoffman Estates area you should try them. They are on W Algonquin Road in Hoffman Estates. I hope they will ship to AZ.“
“The food is AMAZING & the folks who own it full of passion. It’s in a strip mall but that adds to the charm & the surprise that one will find the bestGerman food with American influences in the suburbs at this little gem! I go 20 minutes out of my way for schnitzel & cheesy spatzel once a week - it’s a plus they always greet w a smile in the typical German stoicism that grew up with but it’s the FOOD folks! You will not find better German in burbs“
“If I can give this bakery 10 stars I would. We ordered two birthday cakes/pastries here for my daughter's birthday. My sister in law loves ordering here for her party and that was when I tried their cakes and oh my goodness, It was one of the best cake I have ever had. Its a little pricey but Its so worth it. My whole family enjoyed it when I served the cake for my daughter's birthday. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend this bakery for quality and taste.“
“I have been craving a place with great Polish food and I think that I found it!! The tripe soup was fantastic!! So we're the golabki and bigos! It reminded me of my late mother's cooking along with both grandmothers. Keep up the good work. If you ever need a taste tester, I am available!!!??“
“I've visited this place a couple of times now, and it's become a favorite spot close to my house! The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. I particularly enjoyed the almond croissant--it was delicious! The beet revival was also refreshing and a unique twist. The staff provided excellent service, making the experience even more enjoyable.“
“This place is brilliant, go inside. They used to hang up my mothers art, I know they choose their displays very intentionally and when I heard my mom's excitement about her photography on display here I knew I had to come. The coffee is great, try anything with lavender if you are looking to switch things up! TIP YOUR BARISTAS THEY MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND! Love a fan, Viktoria Cowen“
“Very good place service was nice and caring cookies were also deliciousVegetarian options: Good vegetarianDietary restrictions: They tell u what’s in them if u are skepticalParking: Many spotsKid-friendliness: Was very nice to my kidsWheelchair accessibility: Parking spots up close and easy access“
“Fresh bagels, served by polite, attentive staff, are what you will find here. They have both breakfast and lunch covered with a variety of sandwiches. The coolers are stocked with every cream cheese flavor you could want. There are plenty of tables for dine in, and the counter service turns out orders quickly. They don't do the bagel twists some locations make, but they have a couple of "bagel bone" options for your dog.“
“The bakery goods are amazing! So fresh & delicious! The Owner is such a wonderful Lady - friendly, personable, & makes the experience fantastic! From the moment you walk in, the delicious smells & warm atmosphere surrounds you! Thank you so much for bringing your family recipes to us! Everything is delicious!!“

“Extremely satisfied. The custom gluten free cake and cupcakes were decorated exquisitely with attention to every detail. They also tasted amazing. Natalie was fantastic and easy to work with. I will happily be back to do future business. Thanks Natalie!“
“If you're looking for an American fare restaurant the Around the Clock Restaurant is a great choice. They have a fairly typical American style menu with a little bit of something for everyone, and the small bakery area has a good enough variety to soothe anyone's sweet tooth. My wife and I both had skillets and although my wife didn't necessarily like something about her steak (maybe the marinade?), we did generally enjoy our meals. I mean, they're skillets, so there isn't much to judge as most skillets are very similar and hard to mess up. The service was great, we were checked on quite a few times during our meal, with our waters being filled without having to ask. We would definitely eat here again if we're passing through Crystal Lake.“
“Perfect pie! We had a picnic with this strawberry pie and it was delicious and kept well in the box while we were heading there. The baker was very nice and gave me some utensils and napkins! You need to order the day before but it’s worth it.“
“The good outweighs the bad. Food and Beverage: 5 STARS. It's always delicious. They have the best cakes; we come here for all of our birthday cakes. Their creme and berry filled croissants are perfect. Staff: 5 STARS. Always friendly and patient. Ambiance: 3.5 STARS. It's nothing spectacular but serves as a good enough place to meet and chat over goodies. Cleanliness: 2.5 STARS. This place consistently looks dirty. The tables are crumby, the floor is in dire need of a sweep and mop, and all of the glass on the food displays need a deep clean. Just looks grubby.“
“I wanted to keep this place a secret, but considering how many people were here before Easter Sunday, I guess it's not a secret anymore! I have never ordered anything that disappointed me from this bakery. It is worth every single penny. My guests are always impressed by the desserts I order. The staff is so very friendly, compassionate, helpful, and fast. They DEFINITELY deserve some tips after the crowds today so I gave up a $10 willingly ( ALWAYS LEAVE A TIP FOR STAFF AND MAKE THEIR LIFE A LITTLE EASIER WITH A LIVING WAGE ;) ). I spent about $99 on two boxes of impressive and pretty pastries, a tray of cookies, and a chocolate egg. No doubt we will be long time customers. Also, note to self: order the big tray of pizza.“
“I asked for Super Mario Brothers cake pops since my son doesn’t like cake or cupcakes. I sent pictures of what I was looking for and they turned out AMAZING! The attention to detail was fantastic. It was a hit at the party. Everyone loved them! Also the staff was very kind and easy to work with.“
“Birthday Cake for our daughter. Red velvet, whole party LOVED it. Everyone asked where it was from-it was SO GOOD! They were easy to work with, polite, and decorated it beautifully!Kid-friendliness: Birthday cake for 7 year old was awesome!“
