“I am super excited because they opened a new location near me in Birmingham. MI

Organic and super fresh baked French goods are rare to find! The croissants are so soft inside and crunchy outside😋😋This bakery deserves more than 5-stars. Check them out and you will visit again I promise.“

“Everything is so delicious and healthy! I recommend the beet humus and crackers and the pb&j power balls!“

“I arrived to pick up my online order of 2 Ruebens and one mint milkshake for my mother's 80th birthday! Low and behold, there was a mistake and it had been taken with another online order by mistake. They graciously paid for my children's slices of pizza while we waited and then refunded the entire order. They went above and beyond and we weren't expecting that. Anticipating needs, attention to detail and gracious with the mistake that can happen. Can't wait to return. I had heard they had the best Reubens you have EVER had and my mother agreed. Thank you for such incredible customer service.“

“Had the bodega breakfast sando after a long bike ride. The brioche was nothing short of perfect and the whole thing was delicious. Definitely coming back multiple times. Staff was super friendly. and the place has a good atmosphere. This is one of those places that you're surprised it isn't packed.“

“best service! And delicious chocolate pie!“

“I drive 2 hours 1 way to get their treats! Celiac safe!“

“It’s my first time to eat Nhulan Chicago, a Vietnamese cuisine, it was a wonderful experience !!!“

“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!!!!!!“

“We had lunch here today, and loved everything! Roberto, our server, was the best! Super friendly. Brisket sandwich was fab! Best potato salad I've ever had! Can't wait to go back!“

“This place is a gem! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how kind and knowledgeable the staff was. The girl who helped me was so sweet, super patient, and explained everything perfectly. You can really tell they care about the customer experience and make sure you feel comfortable and taken care of. Now let’s talk about the lemonades—WOW. Infused and delicious, it was honestly one of the best lemonades I’ve ever had. And the baked goods? Incredible. Soft, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. Everything I tried was amazing, and I can’t wait to go back and try more. I seriously love, love, love this place. The staff, the products, the vibe—Blazed Bakery is on point. Thank you for such an awesome experience!“

“Welcome to Roscoe Village. Oh my goodness, this place is soo much better than the Starbucks that was there previously. I hope you are able to put a few small tables on the sidewalk when the weather is nice. It is the perfect little neighborhood spot for a delicious coffee & croissant.“

“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.“

“I absolutely love this place. My 7 year old loves to go and get his hot dog in a bun and my favorite is the shrimp balls, so delicious!!“

“Always loved their Greek pastries, they are the best, started going to them 60 yrs ago with my mom and dad. We were always going to Hellas for our parties baptisms and weddings. All our holiday needs were easily available for us. Unfortunately, we moved out to Poplar Grove, Illinois near Belvedere and have missed them greatly. Always love them and it brings a tears to my eyes, that they are still around. God bless them. My parents knew the owners personally.“

“The bread is out of this world. My personal favorite is the seeded. The pastries are also very good. What a treasure.“

“I have been enjoying breads and pastries from New Dokil my whole life from various asian grocery stores (Joong Boo, Hmart, Tai Nam, Park to Shop) and always get something the moment I see it. My favorites have to be the white bean bread, every cream bread, and mocha castella. Always fresh, super soft, and not too sweet. I would like to visit the main location one day for a special occasion cake.“

“Loved the diffrent variety of cupcakes.“

“One of my favorite bakeries. You will find Asian and French inspired pastries that are always delicious 😋. I have been going there for years and would always recommend. They also make special occasion cakes!“

“We ordered desserts for my daughter’s wedding sweet table this past weekend and it was a big hit. Guests couldn’t stop talking about the delicious treats! Thank you so much! This is the second family wedding we ordered desserts for!“

“I discovered Chicago Sugar Daddy Patisserie through the Halloween Baking Championship (season 9), so when my husband and I were visiting Chicago this past weekend we were delighted to visit. We bought 3 sweet treats, and they were so delicious. Our favorite was an Ube cookie- mighty flavor and perfect texture. I was so starstruck when I had a chance to meet James! He was incredibly kind and genuine.“

“There cakes and delicious Italian desserts yummy !“

“Mr Cake Never Disappoints. The staff is so incredibly friendly and pay attention to detail. Their cakes are always rich in flavor, soft and never dry. I have ordered a lot of cakes from them in the past but this time around I had to order my cake over the phone since I could not make it in. I had full faith in them to design my daughter’s cake with one request, light pink with white flowers. I knew I was going to love whatever design they came up with because they are just that good. Thank you Mr Cake!“

“Excellent! Thank you so much for the Fatayer, will be back for more! Baklava, Date cookies, Dubai chocolate:)“

“Friendly staff who do magnificent work!“

“Simply the best cheesecake in the Chicagoland area! Always delicious, always fresh upon thawing, always our family’s favorite. Chocolate chip is especially outstanding and we love the key lime too. A lotta love in those slices! Can’t imagine going anywhere else.“

“This place is awesome! Hole-in-the-wall vibes (small café restaurant), and the food is amazing. We had the ham Cachito, ham & cream cheese Cachito, and turkey & cream cheese Cachito - all of them delicious. The ham-only was for my baby son, and I asked them to cut the ham small/bite size so he could eat it and they delivered. Ordered a vanilla latte to go and it was great! Hope to be back someday soon. Thank you!“

“That Little French Guy makes us happy every time we head that way. The Champs de Élysées doesn’t have better! It’s being back in Paris, every unique French delight. Thank you for our favorite place to visit often.“

“Was really happy with their cheese danish and iced vanilla latte today.“

“I was speechless when I saw the final results. I‘ve never had a cake before that met my expectations this close. David did an amazing job and the cake was not only visually stunning but also exceptionally delicious! He was super friendly and polite, always ready to answer my questions. I even sent images and he was able to create exactly what I asked for. I highly recommend reaching out to David!

David- thank you for creating an unforgettable moment for my family and me. I‘ll definitely work with you again!😊“

“North Shore Bakery Rocks!! I have been going to this amazing Bakery since High School and let me tell you..... I love the bagels, challah bread, and cinnamon coffee cake. They make the best baked goods in town. I wanted to mention and recognize Ayellet for her hard work and dedication to the business and her customers. When I go into the store for my baked goods I always get a welcome with a smile. North Shore Bakery always makes me feel like I am there only customer they have! Thank you for your amazing selections, presentation, and kind approach to the art of baking and customer service! It does not go unnoticed. Thank you for continuing to be open during these difficult times we are facing.“

“I went yesterday when visiting Chicago. I had never had it before but I went by the recommendations of Skokie residents and I was very impressed. I took 6 desserts home to Kentucky and my only regret is I didn’t take more oatmeal raisin cookies. Those were absolutely phenomenal.“

“We just moved to the area and have been eyeballing Artemios since it’s on our walk to Greeley and the park. We finally stopped by today and got an assortment of items because of course we wanted to try it all! The prices are AMAZING, very affordable! We LOVED the taste of everything we got! Definitely very fresh, tasty and homemade. We will definitely be back!“

“This place is both beautiful the cakes and macaroons are the best I’ve ever had pricey but worth it for a special occasion . I highly recommend“

“This is the best bakery in Chicago (on Earth?). We were ordering when he was slingin’ pastries out of BC up the street. You cannot get better stuff in Chicago.“

“Highly recommend - I'm a picky eater and I pay attention to hygiene in a food store - the pastries were super-fresh and delicious“

“Cada vez que visito Chicago, se que siempre tengo que dar una visita aquí. Hacen el pan tan delicioso y siempre me recuerda a mi linda Guatemala. Ayer pude comprar tamales y chiles rellenos 👌🏽 no decepcionaron. Recomiendo probar el pan dulce y comida de aquí. Muy delicioso y no puedo esperar a mi siguiente visita!“

“Thank you for the amazing Mario cup cakes! They were adorable and delicious!“

“Very nice, very friendly store with a great selection of bundt cakes in various sizes. Go and enjoy, you deserve it...“

“These bagels are amazing!! My friend brought me some when she visited in Alaska, and now I'm rationing them every day so they last longer! 💕🥯💕“

“Everything here is incredibly delicious! I guarantee that anything you try you will love! ☺️ I have been getting my cakes from Gourmet Frog for over 15 years, and from my wedding day to just because I was having a bad day and needed a little treat, it's always a hit! I can't recommend froggies enough! (What I endearingly call them ?)“

“We worked with Sweet Temptations to create our dream wedding cake and WOW is this team impressive. Looking back at our wedding photos, it is truly impossible to tell the difference between the inspiration photo sent and the cake delivered to our venue. It was GORGEOUS! In addition, the flavor was out of this world. They even sent a custom box to package our top tier for easy transportation after the reception. From planning to delivery to execution, Sweet Temptations exceed all expectations. Photo credit: Emma Petersen Photography“

“We love these cookies! The chocolate chip is always a family favorite but we like the fun of the variety too. Curbside or delivery service are a huge plus!

Vegetarian options: Dessert!

Parking: Huge lot. Dedicated spots for curbside service.

Kid-friendliness: Nowhere to eat inside. But the flavors are always exciting for the kids. Especially the extras like shark gummies.“

“Churros at their finest! Had the churro that was like a smore, it was delicious!“

“What can I say: the bakery, food, and drink offerings here are outstanding and the owner is incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about what she's doing.

You really can't go wrong with any of the grab and go cake, cupcake, or pastry items. We've gotten many of them, and we've also gotten special order cakes from here that have been wonderful. Their breakfast burritos (vegetarian or not) are a great quick breakfast option. The quiches (which are relatively new) are exceptional. The hibiscus agua fresca is a lovely refreshing drink for a hot day.

I hope this place stays here for a long time because its popularity has added liveliness to the Roger Williams area.“

“Jorge and his team, especially Josh, are the most welcoming, accommodating people. They truly love what they do and strive to make your day special. They made a cake for my husband's birthday on fairly short notice that was beautiful, better than expected, and delicious! The cream and fruit filling were fresh and not too sweet but honestly the actual cake itself, even though it was just vanilla, was so light and airy. I've never had cake like this! Definitely recommend supporting this wonderful business and will be back for more!“

“I ordered cake for my wife's 50th birthday party. We received so many compliments. The cake was delicious and a work of art. I also had some other desserts from there and they were amazing, too. The staff was also very nice. We highly recommend Delightful Pastries.“

“They have great selection of deli meat and their soups are great. I am addicted to their cheesecake.“

“I recently visited this spot and tried the Nova Lox Bagel. While the bagel itself was fresh and well-toasted, the salmon was a letdown. Nova lox is typically known for being less salty than regular smoked salmon, but in this case, it was overly salty and overwhelmed the other flavors. The toppings, like cream cheese, capers, and onions, were well-balanced, but the saltiness of the salmon really detracted from the overall experience.

I also decided to try the apricot cookie, but that turned out to be a mistake. I was surprised to learn it cost nearly $5—far more than I expected for a single cookie. Unfortunately, the taste was disappointing; it was so unpalatable that I couldn’t even finish it. The texture was dense and off-putting, and the apricot flavor was barely there. It felt like a waste of money, and I left feeling dissatisfied.

The prices were reasonable for the bagel, but the quality didn’t fully match my expectations. As for the cookie, it was overpriced and not worth trying again. Overall, a mixed experience—there’s potential, but the execution fell short.“

“Amazing fresh product, you must taste and definitely won’t regret Keep up the great work“
