“Very nice restaurant and delicious food For the first time there i am very thankful to our server Dilnaz and specially the girl Sky who explained and recommended what should I try and make sure everything was OK Thank you Thank you“

“My wife and my go to bakery spot in Chicagoland. Everything we’ve gotten here is fantastic, and it is a regular spot we will frequent until we die! Order anything and you will not be disappointed. A short list of everything we love there: cookies, lemon pound cake, olive oil cake, Georgie cake, and their cold brew. The ambiance is also awesome for a date or to just chill with friends. Can’t go wrong here!“

“I absolutely love this cake place they staff And employees are always nice patient and sweet my girl Mena always hooks me up great customer service I’ve been coming to them since they were located on north ave the My cakes are always fresh soft and delicious .“

“I love stopping here when I'm picking up food from one of the other stores. Everything we have tried so far is absolutely delicious! Their desserts are not too sweet... just the perfect amount! My personal favorite is the fluffy cheese cake! My kids love the oreo cake cups and the strawberry shortcake cups! Can't wait to try the other desserts! HIGHLY recommend!“

“We stopped in for a special treat. They had a good selection of donuts. The shop was decorated nicely and the man who was working there was inviting, helpful and nice. We decided on 6 donuts, Boston creams, pistachio, blueberry cheesecake, apple cider and bacon maple. We enjoyed them all! The prices are average for this type of shop and it does have a nice area to sit and eat if you want to do that. Overall, I recommend stopping in for a delicious donut. We will be going back whenever we are in Elmhurst again.“

“This was my first visit to the bakery and it was packed. However, it's not my first experience. Never disappoints and worth the trip from Elgin!“

“Delicious cookies! My favorite is chocolate chip! Staff is super friendly and the place looks super clean. Recommend 100%.Parking: There is plenty of parking spaces.Kid-friendliness: Kids can actually see the staff baking and packaging the cookies.Wheelchair accessibility: The store is spacious for wheelchair.“

“Best eggplant perm sandwich ever!“

“Best coffee i’ve ever tasted. Well balanced, complex yet smooth...a true delight.“

“Absolutely LOVED my cake!! Rosie was the sweetest, cake was absolutely delicious, all the guest loved it so much! She saw the inspo I gave her and created the cake 1000x better than I could ever imagine! I highly recommend her and I will continue to let people know about her when they need a cake! Thank you again so so much!“

“Great place for great cakes/cookies/food and even better service. Won a silent auction and Kai was able to make a custom cake for our 7yo daughter’s birthday with only a 4 day notice!!“

“Had the paczki's and they were excellent. Super friendly service and was surprised at how much they offer on the menu (full bakery, coffee, sandwiches)-can't wait to go back!“

“I don’t understand how this cake turned out better than I expected. I was so scared that I was going to be disappointed because I have been in the past with other cake places but this one was not the case. I read the reviews first before my decision to get the cake done here. And I absolutely have no regrets. I just told them it was a Care Bears 1st birthday. I honestly look forward to having my future cakes made here. They were so beautiful that I had wished we didn’t have to eat them. And not only were they beautiful but delicious. Half Oreo and half guava. There was only a small bit left. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart to this talented team that work here. We could not have been any more happier with the results.“

“I've never had a bad experience here at Crumbl Cookies!Since moving to the area a few months ago, this has been our go-to Crumbl Cookies spot. We get it probably once a month - yikes! Every time here, though, has been the opposite of yikes - the staff is friendly, the cookies are fresh, it's never busy, always clean, and there's ample parking outside. At my old Crumbl Cookies location in Schaumburg, it was always a tight squeeze and hustle-and-bustle situation inside the store and in the parking lot because it was so busy. This location is bigger with more parking, but it's never busy which I like. Let's be real, Crumbl Cookies are freaking good. There's 4 rotating flavors every single week and 2 constant flavors (chocolate chip & sugar). I always love the chocolate chip and will get it in replacement of one of the rotating cookies when I get a 4-pack. In my opinion the warm cookies are always better than the chilled, but some of the chilled ones are great, too. They also sometimes include a mystery cookie which yes, is a mystery when you get it. I love that they do that, I think it's a fun concept especially if you really don't know which other cookie to get or want to try something new.There's TONS of flavors in general at Crumbl, I can't even select my favorite one. When they have these flavors, I do really enjoy their cinnamon swirl cookie, s'mores, cinnamon fry bread, dulce de leche, Biscoff lava, chocolate cake, buckeye brownie, and basically any flavor that has cinnamon or caramel in it, or that's super chocolatey and gooey. You already know I'll be coming to this location again!“

“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.“

“Delicious! Highly recommended! Support small!“

“Excellent swrvice and best baklavas in the region“

“Beautiful little cafe! Very friendly staff. We came from Minnesota and felt very welcomed. Everything looked delicious I wish I could have tried it all! I got the Tiramisu and it was honestly the best I've ever had. I also got cookies to bring home. They even went as far as to drizzling caramel in my Italian Macchiato. Absolutely will be coming back next time im 8n the area!“

“The host cashier at the door is very nice and very inviting!! I've had one waiter & two other waitresses since I've been coming there and they're all awesome!!! I do not think I've ever had one bad experience and I've been going there for a while for 3 months.. keep up the awesome work you guys are out doing there!!“

“I hate that this place is so good. Seriously. I’ve never liked doughnuts, but theirs are so good. And the coffee cakes? The best I’ve ever had. I live close by, so when I crave something, it’s hard to just pick one thing and I end out getting a ton for my family and all our relatives. Warning - if you get one of their coffee cakes, just know that it will go fast. Your family will eat it very quickly. You may want to grab two.“

“Excellent cannolis and baked goods“

“The best cheese cake I have ever had. Good place to stop if you need to bring dessert. So many flavors to choose from. I highly recommend Eli's. I can remember when Eli's restaurant was downtown on East Chicago Ave., We would have dinner and cheesecake for dessert. I always have one in the freezer, for unexpected guest. Peter K.“

“Have driven by many a time, finally decided to pop in and see if they're open to the public. They're a cash business from there Front Bakery side. Old World charm! Mrs Tina & Mrs Amy are just wonderful as a Team! Ordered some various Italian breads. The smell's made me hungry & reminded me of the old Italian Bakery's on Grand Ave (just before Ogden Avenue). My new go to spot to pick up any baked goods...The Italian Way! Mangia & Smacznego!!! Ciao!“

“The bakery exceeded my expectations in creating a stunning cake for my baby shower. Not only was it visually appealing, but it tasted absolutely divine, earning praises from all the guests. Additionally, the pastries I ordered were a hit! The staff's exceptional customer service truly made the entire experience delightful, from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. This bakery truly stands out for its impeccable service and delicious treats.Thank you Laura, Mike and team!God bless you all!-anita“

“Came in today for the first time. Customer service was great. I ordered a steak sandwich, cafe con leche, and a pastelito. Everything tasted really good. I ordered to go and was in and out. The place is a little small so maybe for a sit down place it might be a little cramped but that's not a deal breaker for me. Definitely a must try if you are in the neighborhood!“

“It is a small bakery but has a fantastic selection of bakery goods. Donuts and Danish, are larger than usual. And fillings are awesome. They also have coffee cakes and strudels. I didn't have much time to look over all of the awesome bakes that were available that morning, because I came with a friend who is a regular. But, I did ask him, to let me know whenever he goes there, so I can ride along and purchase some of their baked goods.“

“I live in the UK and wanted to surprise a friend who lives in Chicago with a birthday cake. These guys were willing to go the extra mile, literally, and deliver for me as it was a little tricky for me to collect. My friend was very happy with the cake.“

“Where do I start on my journey to this "schweet" treat? It all started a few months ago of seeing this business online ...I could not manage to get the time right I was too late or to early or it was closed....But finally the stars ALIGNED and on Saturday I pulled up at 10:30am waiting for the 11am opening...to buy six amazing, delicious and delightful moo-moo cheesecakes (2 keylimes 3 pecan delight and 1 strawberry)...a bowl of chili and a candle ..!I met one of the owners who went above and beyond in customer service, she was kind, patient and efficient she didn't let me wait for the chili ,which I appreciated.The strawberry was the tester cheesecake which both my mother and daughter had a sample of we all loved and enjoyed this cheesecake especially my self which I put the remaining into the freezer to get cold quick ( best decision) to eat in the dark sitting at the kitchen table savoring the freshness the sweet tartness of the strawberries the sweet smoothness of the cheesecake the buttery graham crust slightly sweet whipped cream omg...I will be coming back for more soon..another reason why to support this amazing business is they help alot and give back to the community, they offer their shop for events."There the Cheesecake People".“

“There cakes and delicious Italian desserts yummy !“

“I love it here! Delicious macarons & the cutest little storefront with all the flowers and decor! ?Kid-friendliness: My daughter (8) loved all the flowers and macaron decorations! We loved all the flavor options so she could get exactly what she wanted“

“I stopped by BlackBerry market on yesterday and the atmosphere was busy but flowed smoothly. The smell of coffee was invigorating and I got the drip coffee , a chocolate chip cookie, iced peppermint coffee and a raspberry lemon muffin!! Service was smooth and effective, the breakfast items were yummy and fresh!! The coffee of the coffee!! Strong yet tranquil!! Fresh drip is self serve!! Loved that! The iced peppermint coffee was just what I needed !! Let me say this.. after breakfast and coffee.. I came home cooked a full dinner and washed clothing and was done before 1pm! lol energy!!!! Definitely will go back and recommend!!“

“Amazing authentic delicious Italian pastries. I am from Florida, I stopped on my way to the airport. Florida does not have any Italian pastry shops. I could not believe the low prices“

“Have visited multiple times over the years and everything I've ever gotten ( cakes, coffee cakes, lunch items) is always fabulous. ( My coworkers and I call it the "sinful" bakery. ). I would say heads up though on pricing...I don't want anyone to get caught without enough $$$ !!!!“

“I ordered the chocolate chip, sugar cookies, and brownies. We had them delivered to our house. The packing was fabulous. No broken cookies or brownies. We tried the chocolate chip cookie and it had big chunks of chocolate and a very good flavor. It was a big cookie that could be shared by two people. We put the others in the freezer until Christmas.“

“Drove 45 minutes and well worth the trip. I couldn’t choose…so I bought quiche, key lime, chocolate chess, chocolate cream and pecan pies. All fantastic, but the pecan is my absolute fave. Go here. Your taste buds will never forgive you if you don’t!“

“Super! I stopped while on a walk. Huge selection and great coffee. I’ll be back.“

“A HUGE variety of food in here. Of course, cheesecake is their specialty and the strawberry cheescake was fire. Pretty darn good in the jolly ol La Grange pals! Stopped by with my sis after good ol' Mak's house right around the corner“

“Wonderful homemade pastries and crossaints! The coffee was absolutely divine. We Loved the warm, and inviting space sitting outside as well as the host and likely owner, who made recommendations and was very attentive. Seating is also available inside and they have a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu. This will definitely be mine and my husband's new favorite local spot ❤️“

“Didn't know this place existed. Always passed by but was going for some café con leche and a friend suggested we go here because they'd been there and thought it was good. They were not lying! So good that I ordered a 2nd cup! Ordered some appetizers and not the best ,but not the worst either. Columbian food in general is good and this place offers all sorts of items to choose from. We tried at least one of each of the main staple Columbian delicacies- pan de bono, pan de bono with guava , pan de bono con queso( our favs)YUM! And well, it's very very good, the baristas make good café con leche! . The best part, not only does their coffee and food menu offer a good variety, they are open until 9pm daily.. I stop in for coffee here at least 3/4 x's a week. That's how good the coffee and treats are. If you decide to sit and enjoy, the salsa music playing over the speakers will keep you dancing in your seat.. their staff are all attentive and very friendly ,making the whole experience nice. Tip, if you order any of the pan de bonos or empanadas, ask that they warm them up for ( they are alot better warmer. This place is a winner !“

“Amazing old world flavors and great quality. I can see why you’re open so early and sell out so fast. I’m definitely putting you all at the top of my baked goods list. I’m a professional chef and I’ve hit most of the established bakery’s in the Chicagoland area and this place may have just topped them all!!!“

“Charming old world bakery with fantastic crusty ? bread, fresh baked and delicious. Stop in and get some long Italian bread loaves, and some round crusty village style loaves... Real nice chewy crust, and super soft and fluffy inside, just like Grandma used to buy! I picked up a really nice loaf of regular white bakery bread, which I sliced nice and thick and had with some fresh butter and jam! While you're there, have a nice chat with the sales ladies!“

“My toddler offered this review when she said the following after she took a bite of the tomato and basil scone, "Pizza! So yummy!"“

“This lady is amazing!! I don’t know about any other reviews, she always comes through for me. I love her work m. Been a customer for years.“

“Byłam z mężem na obiad w Polish Paczki Cafe bardzo smaczne i świeże dania obiadowe Polecam każdemu kto lubi dobrze zjeść! Pyszne ciasta i pączki, bardzo miła obsługa ?“

“Yesterday morning was my first time visiting and trying this bakery. It was a small storefront but this place was definitely quality over quantity ?? Berta behind the counter was such a sweetheart. All the pan dulce I got was delicious, but the conchas were my favorite. They were super soft, and the topping was not overly sweet. They have great prices compared to other places.$CASH ONLY$Yesterday morning was the first time I visited and tried this bakery. It was a small store, but this place is definitely quality over quantity ??. Many thanks to Berta, she was very kind! All the sweet bread I bought was delicious, but the conchas were my favorite. Very soft and the topping was not too sweet. They have great prices compared to other places.$ CASH ONLY $“

“I've come to this bakery for the donuts but decided to order a custom cake for my brother's bday and let me tell you... I was IMPRESSED. The cake was beautiful! The woman who took my order was super nice as well and worked with me. I ordered chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling which was a little sweet for my palate but my family LOVED it. Super moist chocolate cake. The 8 inch cake with an edible printed image was ~40 bucks which is SUPER reasonably priced for the quality. Will definitely order again.“

“I called about 10 days prior to our kids’ birthday party. They were able to accommodate and completely nailed our desired cake design. They were so amazing to work with and made my whale obsessed 3 year olds dreams come true. It tasted as good as it looked, everyone was raving about it! We had about 30 people and were able to serve everyone from the larger cake and still have left overs. We will certainly be ordering from Sweet Ali’s again for future celebrations!“

“I come here often, and the cookies & service is always exceptional.HOWEVER, I want to make note of my experience on Friday night of 2/23/2024. The staff that night provided the best service I've experienced anywhere in years. Their phenomenal energy and service always makes my visit memorable. The two working tonight are by far my favorite across the board. Boss, if you're seeing this, please give them the full raise! They're the best ?“

“These are my favorite coffee dunking cookie! I especially like the sesame cookies! The texture and the flavor are perfect and I enjoy these every time I can find them! I have contacted the business many times and they are quick to get back to me and always so pleasant!. So yummy and looking forward to trying everything they bake!“
