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.“

“Random act of kindness. My mother in law who is 94 and in a nursing home across the street from the store asked for ice cream. When I entered the store and explained situation the owner cheerfully served up a little cup and then gave it to me free. It is great to know people still care and are kind.“

“what happened I have not been there in a while went there during Xmas season did not feel like Christmas at all there plus it looked dirty so disappointing it could use a good clean and some holiday cheer..selection was poor too very little festive mdse“

“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.“

“There's a reason the line here is sometimes half a block long. The scones and banana bread are out of this world but the Olive oil cake is among the tastiest things I've had. Regardless of the time of day or how crowded they are the staff is friendly and incredibly efficient. I've never had to wait on my order for more than a couple of minutes. Fantastic neighborhood gem!“

“Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had Maria and Ashley was very amazing with giving the best experience to customers no matter who you are and the food just as good, the whole team there could be seen giving their all, will definitely come again with friends!!“

She gave great recommendations, shared the history of the store, and truly made me feel like she cared. You don’t experience that level of service at many places anymore. While I didn’t get the chance to taste the cookies myself, they looked delicious—and they absolutely wowed my clients!“

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. 🙌“
