19 Best Bakeries near Wauconda

“I had an amazing experience at Whisk! I ordered cupcakes for my daughter’s wedding shower and they did an outstanding job! Not only were the cupcakes beautiful -beyond my expectations, but delicious as well! The staff was kind, patient and accommodating.Highly recommended them❤️“

“This is my second order from the website. Last year, for Easter, I brought a plate of cannoli and so did someone else. This year, I switched to a cannoli cake. Wow, what a reaction. Gotta bring it again next year. By demand. It also started an argument over their mother's cheesecake. Go figure in a house with Italians. Everyone should be so lucky to have a Tony Cannoli in their town. Love the cannoli, the shakes, and now the cake. Service is great. Cake was ready for pick-up when I arrived. Had a small container of cannoli topping. Looked really busy in back getting orders ready for Easter.“

“Love stopping here for gluten-free/dairy-free treats ? Service is always great + the desserts are so rich + full of flavor. Highly recommend the matcha bar + the tiramisu if you like chocolate. I have celiac disease and it can be a challenge to find gluten-free desserts that aren’t highly processed. Love this place! ??“

“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!“

“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.“

“Moved to town about a year ago and this has become my go to bakery. The staff is welcoming and quick to help customers. I enjoy the combination danish, sprinkled donuts, and cookies, but with reasonable prices and so many wonderful options it is usually very difficult to choose.“

“I cannot state this with enough enthusiasm. This place is INCREDIBLE. The food is outstanding, unlike any other restaurant in the area. As for this place being RACIST?!? That reviewer either clearly did not go into the restaurant or they just want to cause controversy, as they have people of all races WORKING THERE and the staff is treated very well, like they are all family! That comment is clearly insane and looking for attention. Back to my review. The spaghetti with sausage is so authentic and delicious, the tomato bisque soup is clearly homemade and delicious! The mediteranean salad is mindblowing. This is truly authentic, homemade food and all seasoned PERFECTLY. We are always loyal customers of Lauretta's and will definitely be back!!!“

“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 “

“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!!“

“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.“

“Dalton's makes some of the best gluten free desserts I've ever had. I ask for their lemon bars for every birthday! They are so accommodating to all allergies and intolerances as well. I've tried a lot of their pastries and there hasn't been one I don't love. I got my first real paczki in 14 years there and it was amazing!! The owners are the kindest, funniest, most welcoming people ever. You don't even have to be gluten free to love their products! They're incredible!“

“I’m confused how this place does not have hundreds of positive reviews. It's like a hidden gem I just found. The apple pie is amazing, 10/10. Little pricey ($25) so I can’t justify buying it often but worth it if you want to splurge now and then. They have so many options of treats and sweets to choose from for all preferences and budgets. Great atmosphere and good service.“

“Been going to this bakery since moving to McHenry this past April, we’ve only ever gotten donuts and more specialized desert treats but my boyfriend got my birthday cake there in July either vanilla or marble - it was SO good and I’m not a big cake person.. well the other day I decided to purchase his birthday cake there - got a chocolate cake with whipped cream frosting… best cake I’ve ever had. And I’m not big on chocolate cake either. Everyone loved it, and thank god we still have a piece left over ? wonderful customer service and pricing too!“

“Amazing! The Chocolate Pecan Pie was so good! Delicious crust, sweet filling, and chock full of pecans! The Banana Cream Pie is perfection in a tin. Fun additional items too (like dog treats for my pooch!) 10/10 will eat again! (The pies that is, my dog can speak for herself on the dog treats;)“

“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.“

“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“

“Who doesn't love bakeries? Not only do they have the tastiest baked goods, but their staff is always outgoing and friendly. Donuts, coffee cake, bread, what have you, I've never been disappointed. My favorite: apricot coffee cake and their apple bread. My dog's favorite: old fashioned donut (he sits outside and howls while I'm inside. Just don't want him to know there are other choices than plain donuts). This is one of the reasons that makes McHenry a great place to live!“

“Shop is just few steps east of the train tracks, and easy to miss. It's very small inside with only a couple of parking spaces in front most of the time. My GSD was having a birthday so I stopped in to see what I could get. Talked to the owner a bit (she's quite the conversationalist) and ordered a doggie cake. Took about 4 days to get the cake. I also got some Christmas cookies for grandkids. Had a little party for Heidi, put the cake on the floor and she gave it lick, looked up and proceeded to down the whole thing. Happy camper. And the kids liked the cookies mucho, too. Only caveats about this shop is its hours. I guess the owner/baker also works in real estate and hours the shop is actually open can be hit or miss. Call before you go! Bottom line is her baked goods are as good as advertised. Highly recommended for both dogs and humans.“
