50 Best Bakeries near Summit

“The absolute best bakery and always my.go to for custom cakes I live an hour away and still get my cakes here because they're that good and customer service is always 10/10“

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

“This place. Wow. Like a well-oiled pastry machine. I have gone there sporadically over the past couple years but really buckled down and started committing to every Sunday these past few weeks. lol. The variety is just astounding and the quality is second to none. I always have the intention of leaving with 2 or 3 things but so far haven't managed to leave with less than 9 or 10 at each visit. Take my money!!!!!!“

“Finally hit up Pie, Pie My Darling in Ukrainian Village—100% vegan heaven! Spent around $20 on a funfetti cupcake, a slice of key‑lime jar pie, plus a salted‑choc chip cookie. All killer, no filler. The vibes are cozy grab‑and‑go, staff are super friendly, and you can tell it’s made with love. Had peeps on the ‘gram talking it up, and damn—they weren’t lying. Can’t wait to swing by again!“

“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.“

“Be quick at ordering because there’s going to be a line! Good news is that I have the sense nothing is bad here. I got a ham and cheese and mustard croissant which was perfect, and the banana coffee cake which was DIVINE. Just wish they could do a toasted and creamed bagel, so 4 stars for customer service.“

“So, Babe had a taste for a blueberry muffin. We decided to stop in here. They did not have any muffins available at the moment BUT they had a blueberry donut. Needless to say, we walked out with a dozen assorted donuts. I've already eaten 3 and my taste buds are EXTREMELY satisfied 😍 The staff was super friendly and the establishment was very clean. Everything looked so delicious. I know we'll definitely go back again to try other pastries 😀 $21 for a dozen donuts. Definitely worth supporting a small business as opposed to Dunkin Donuts. . This place makes their donuts with love 💕 Well worth it 💕“

“I've been coming to Bang Bang Pies for about 12 years! It's one of my favorite places to talk about and visit when I come through Chicago. It has evolved over time, but thankfully has maintained its delicious staples: homemade biscuits, butter, jam, and cheese grits.

It’s a great stop, especially for bringing out-of-town visitors. The menu is simple, the prices are reasonable, and there's always friendly service. There’s seating inside and a nice courtyard with seating outside.

And their pies are the best I've had in the city. Order early for those!“

“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.“

“There conchas are always fresh“

“Love the tres leches coconut ? always great service! And a pleasure talking with the staff always friendly and positive! Keep it up guys y’all are amazing and your cakes too! Always getting them delivered or picking them up for every birthday!“

“OMG WOW! Amazing bakery! I go to tons of bakeries & I think this is the best one in Oak Park & one of the best in Chicagoland! I LOVED everything I tried from the cookies, to muffins to scones. Super high quality & extremely fresh products. Some of the pastries were still warm from the oven as I got there right at 8 am when they open. Even then, there was a little line out the door. Many people got coffee drinks but I didn’t this time. They also have $2 wonky cookies (just weirdly shaped cookies) that are a great deal. I tried: chocolate chip cookie, banana bread, vegan chocolate muffin (extra delish), goat cheese chili scone (excellent) & the wonky birthday cookie (amazing & buttery - melts in your mouth). Can’t wait to go back & try other things! Please note the place is tiny with only a few tables & chairs & there’s metered street parking so I took my order to go.

10.25.24 update: the kale salad done is truly amazing! The toasted coconut cake was sooo good and the chiffon cake was delightful. The savory corn biscuit was good but I preferred the scone, which is totally worth traveling for.“

“Best eggplant perm sandwich ever!“

“Today, 20 Sep my daughter brought home a dozen chocolate donuts. I was shocked when I opened the box. Apparently your bakery is downsizing the donuts. Much smaller and worse of all , what happened to the chocolate coating on the donuts. Did you run out? They use to be smothered with chocolate. Very disappointed.“

“I love this shop. Best and only pie I've enjoyed in general. As a service worker, I respect the hard work the employees put into this place. My only issue is the customers who have no patience. Have gone in here a few times to see the counter worker being berated by someone in a hurry. Sad to see how rude society has become.“

“The best cookies that I tried!
When I went for the first time I needed a seller because this work like self service, they help me and were so kind. Cookies are expensive but so delicious. The store is too small and it’s confuse because there are two lines, one for order and one for pickup, because of the size of the store it’s kind a mess“

“I absolutely love Crumbl Cookies, especially since they started offering cakes! The flavors are always incredible, and the cakes add an extra layer of deliciousness to their already amazing selection. Every time I visit, the service is quick and efficient, making the experience even more enjoyable. The only downside is the parking, which can be a bit of a challenge since the location is on a main road. But despite that, I always find a way to stop by because the cookies and cakes are worth it!"“

“Mashallah, may God bless you, may God grant you success and grant you truly the best kunafa I have tried so far in America, and I was in Texas and California. God willing, it will go to the top, my helper ❤️
🇵🇸🕊️✌️“

“We’re huge fans of The Bear, which steered us here on our Chicago trip - so glad we found this place! We loved the mushroom adobo and longnanisa breakfast sandwich! The mango tarts were amazing, as were our lattes. We left with an apple hand pie to eat the following morning, which was still had perfectly crispy pastry. Definitely worth the hour wait to get in.“

“The food is just incredible! I am speechless“

“Our family and I have been ordering my kids birthday cakes from here for years.
It’s always delicious, they’re great service and always kind.
Even when I call in last minute, they accept and accommodate my order.
But most of all super amazing cake presentations.“

“I gave this place a 3rd chance. My first few encounters zero customer service cold coffee stale donuts. Today I came in for coffee and was pleasantly surprised, I received good customer service from Daniel! Good service, good coffee, and good energy from Daniel! Kudos to Daniel he is what you need Foh with customers to give good customer service as well as for sales and business growth!“

“I was very pleased with Auntie Anne's location upstairs in North Riverside Mall, Store number 1299. The staff is super kind and very attentive. I noticed the manager was on top of having all products fresh and ready to serve to customers, and the ladies working on the floor made me feel comfortable in selecting a freshly baked pretzel.“

“Stopped in to give myself a birthday treat. Everything is so fresh and delicious It was hard to choose. I of curse had to have my lemon fluff cupcake, a pastry and who could say no to an apple slice. But the true treats are the lovely and kind ladies working the counter. I truly feel it’s not just because I patronize Wolf’s bakery - but they are genuinely kind and make you feel welcome. I love this bakery’s products and its staff. Happy Holidays!!“

“The bread has a very delicious flavor, the cuernitos con cajeta, delicious. And the shells, not to mention very delicious. The guava stuffed bread is definitely not recommended, guava has no flavor and is definitely not guava. I recommend the conchitas and the cuernitos con cajeta. The person who attended us was very friendly.“

“Hidden gem, great food and even greater customer service. Found my new go-to spot. Highly recommend“

“I visit Bake often for their delicious bakery items, but I also purchased a half sheet marble cake for a wedding rehearsal dinner and it was so delicious! All of our guests raved about the cake and asked where we got it. I highly recommend a cake from here in addition to just strolling in for breakfast!“

“Beverly Bakery has become a MUST every time we are in the area! The food is incredible, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is so friendly. The crème brûlée French toast with strawberries is easily the BEST French toast I have everrrrrr had! I love the fresh brewed coffee and the wide selection of coffee beans to take home that they will even grind up for you. I would recommend giving Beverly bakery a try to anyone looking for a great breakfast in the area.“

“I stopped in to see what was available. Bought a variety of cupcakes. They were delicious. I have to go back and get some cheesecake ❤️“

“Best bakery ever!!! Absolutely everything is delicious!!!“

“2nd order for our family within 6 months!!! Had amazing cupcakes for our sons baptism and our daughters birthday! Delicious and affordable!!“

“Pan Artesanal slaps every time.“

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

“To francuska piekarnia z tradycjami!!!!!“

“You know why I frequent Alwatan Bakery? Insha’Allah “God wills it” Their halal food is the best, I go there frequently for breakfast. I wouldn’t give that McDonald’s crap, or any other fast food to an abandoned starving stray dog on the street.“

“Had a Ferrara 9" cake last week at a small 50th birthday celebration. Best layer cake ever experienced in my 77 years!“

“I highly recommend Wagner's Bakery. First of all the Great Customer Service, Outstanding Cakes with Delicious Flavors, the Sweet bread always fresh and delicioso. Best prices, worth your money and you better believe it! I refused to get My cakes from someone else, if it isn't Wagner's Bakery I won't purchase anymore else. Period Picture taken yesterday (08/27/22)“

“We ordered my wedding cake from here, a specialty made multi-tiered baklava cheesecake - a truly stunning piece of art while tasting absolutely heavenly. It was the perfect end to a perfect night. We received multiple compliments from guests raving about how delicious the cake was. The owner is also a joy to work with. Can't recommend enough!!“

“Their bread, pastries, and cakes are out of this world. The flavors they’re able to deliver without too much sweetness is a refreshing change in a bakery. I go as often as I can.“

“I grew up in Western Springs, in a house on the “other side of the tracks”. Almost every Sunday, my father and I would go to Kirschbaum’s for a dozen donuts. Those donuts were sooo good.“

“I ordered the chocolate chip, sugar cookies, and brownies. We had them delivered to our house. The packing was fabulous. No broken cookies or brownies. We tried the chocolate chip cookie and it had big chunks of chocolate and a very good flavor. It was a big cookie that could be shared by two people. We put the others in the freezer until Christmas.“

“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!“

“First time here! Great experience. Customer service was great and the sandwiches came out perfect. I did a catering order for a community event and everything went smooth. When I came to pick up the order I tried the new breakfast chorizo torta! Fuego! 🔥🔥🔥 I appreciate Kathy taking my order and Marta delivering exceptional results. Love this business. I’ll be back.“

“I ordered custom cookies for a friend's baby shower and not only were they PERFECT for the shower, they were delicious! Placing the order itself + subsequent communication was seamless -- I sent inspiration from Pinterest and after a little back-and-forth coming up with the desired color blue, the order was placed! The cookies were packed and ready at the day/time agreed and the inside of the bakery smelled heavenly; I cannot wait to try other items from this shop! Thank you for making this a memorable experience.“
