50 Best Bakeries near Western Springs

“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.“

“Our family absolutely loves Bb's donuts! We do miss being able to go inside the donut shop. So many wonderful memories taking our little girl there to eat donuts and read a book or two. We have a little boy with Autism and it's not safe for him to sit in front by the busy street because he runs. Wish we could go inside to enjoy donuts & coffee knowing it's something our son would truly enjoy.“

“Entering this place it can seem hectic if it’s rush hour. But rest assured the workers here are so efficient. The food here is so good! They have many combinations that attend to all palettes. Their smoothies are amazing I love the strawberry the best. I stop here whenever I can.“

“As a fellow small business owner in the community, I’m always looking to support other local gems—and Smallcakes is definitely one of them! I tried their cupcakes for the first time today for my son’s birthday, and I was completely blown away. Every cupcake was beautifully made, incredibly fresh, and absolutely delicious.

The owner is not only exceptionally talented but also one of the kindest, most welcoming people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Her passion shows in every detail, from presentation to flavor.

I’m already planning to use Smallcakes for future celebrations—both personal and professional. At Hinsdale Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry, we’re often bringing treats to colleagues and friends, and I’m excited to make Smallcakes our new go-to.

Thank you for helping make my son’s birthday extra special. We’ll be back soon!

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Best eggplant perm sandwich ever!“

“I can’t say enough great things about this place, I make a stop every chance I get! I’ve tried nearly everything, but the Kale scones are amazing! The coffee drinks are great and delicious. I’m a full time working mom, and my parents who watch my baby while I work said the only payment they need is a box of broken tart pastries! The people there are great, they really work as a team and are super efficient. Saturdays beware though, people are lined up, and for good reason!“

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.

“Forget the plane ticket — a trip to Acapulco Bakery is better than a vacation to Acapulco itself! 🌴🍩 One bite of their donuts and I was ready to trade in my beach chair for a pastry box. A flavor explosion that could wake up a sleepy mariachi band! 🎺😂

These donuts are pure happiness disguised as breakfast. Every bite feels like sunshine, good vibes, and a sugar rush all rolled into one. If you’re looking for paradise, skip the travel plans — just head to Acapulco Bakery and thank me later. Best. Donuts. Ever. 🙌“

Every bite melts in your mouth and brings back warm memories of home. The sweetness is just right, and the pistachios on top? Chef’s kiss 👌✨

Not only is the dessert amazing, but the place itself is full of warmth and love. Awni and his team treat every customer like family.

For those of you who have celiac disease or are gluten intolerant, the jibarito Is a dream because instead of having bread for the sandwich, they use plantains.
