8 Best Bakeries in Northbrook

“Me, my fiancé and our friend came here to check it out on a rainy day and super glad we did! The three workers who helped us were super chill and made it a very comfortable experience. We all got different infused lemonades that were super tasty! We will definitely be back to try their other flavors and pastries. If you have been considering coming in, it’s definitely worth it :)“

“The raspberry cheesecake (the free cookie I picked for my birthday) was a delightful surprise. I liked the crust/cookie crumble that was under the actual soft cheesecake part. The raspberry jam was also great to pair with it. It's for sure a "non" cookie, cookie item. But I think it was a wonderful thing to try! The service was great. I ordered via app and hit "I'm here" when I arrived and they packed it and handed it to me within a few minutes. The ambiance is a cute shop that is for take out only.“

“We had the BEST time at Punky Cake yesterday. My daughters and I took the cake decorating class and had so much fun and learned so much from Ashely! Ashley has such an amazing energy and taught us all the steps and techniques needed to make a double layer 8” rainbow cake! The experience was so fun we can’t wait to go back for another class! We were able enjoy eating the cake with our family and we are pretty picky about cakes and we ALL raved about the flavor and how it wasn’t too sweet and heavy. The flavor was a perfect balance of flavors. We were all very impressed!! Thank you Ashley and Punky Cakes you’ll be seeing us again very soon!“

“There’s no doubt that this is the best ice cream shop in the greater Chicagoland area, however the staff is what makes the experience much more worth it each time we come. We came in a few nights ago and were helped by the lovely manager Zelle, who made my little brother’s birthday 10x better by not only treating him to a delicious sundae with a fun candy face and lots of sprinkles, but served it with a beautiful smile! Her and other staff were having lots of fun behind the counter and engaging in jokes and conversation with my family. They really made us feel like we were old friends to them, like regulars that they’ve known their whole lives, something you really don’t see anymore. You would think that’s how every service worker would be while working in ice cream? Nope, only at this Graeter’s. Thank you Zelle and thank you Graeter’s team!“

“We selected the Baking Institute to craft and design our baby shower cake. Collaborating with Ciera was a delight; she guided us in selecting the perfect design and flavors. Opting for a 2-tier marble cake with a white chocolate mousse filling, we were thrilled with the result. We wholeheartedly endorse Baking Institute for anyone seeking a delectable cake for any special occasion.“

“Carols cookies not only makes incredible cookies but their service is unmatched. We chose to work with Carols Cookies this year to supply our clients with homemade style cookies as a thank you for working with us. We worked together to create custom lids with our business name, literature, and a gift message. Not only was the process smooth and quick but every employee at Carols Cookies was extremely professional and helpful. We look forward to working together!“

“I ordered an open-faced, roast turkey dinner. The stuffing was AMAZING, the mashed potatoes and gravy like home-made, and the turkey was tender and delicious. The best hot turkey (and stuffing) I've had. The Pick-up wait on a Friday night was 45 minutes! There was a guy in a hat meeting pick-up customers almost yelling, 'the foods not up yet. ' We all looked at each other, but good was outstanding.“
