“Honestly, I stopped going to this restaurant because even if they had revamped it couple times, the food is just not good. They can distract the people all they want with all the gimmicks they were having but I was just done. I only kept going then because the people there are so nice and accommodating. UNTIL NOW. I came back again with my mom and I was really BLOWN AWAY. The food tastes different. It hit the right spot in my Filipino tongue. ITS SO GOOD! As one of the people who gave up on this restaurant, I am now EATING my old opinions away. Plus, they didn't loose the Filipino hospitality I've always loved. Sandok n Palayok now is making me always hungry for more.“
“Absolute best donuts in the world! This place is just so awesome. I've been coming here for years, and the donuts are always great. The Buttermilk cake donut is my favorite, just perfect. This place is OldSkool, just like me. Luv ❤️ everything about this place, please dont ever change anything. I luv the old skool menu, the old skool stools, I luv the old skool vibe, and It is not uncommon to see the founder Burritt in the window still making donuts at 85 young years old, God bless him and God give me the same strengths at his age. If you haven't made a pilgrimage yet to this place, do it and do it now !“
“Best bakery within 100 miles in any direction. I have lived in IL my whole life (43 years). I have lived in a dozen towns and traveled all over the state. I have yet to find a better bakery anywhere. Its the best for everything, cookies, morning donuts and even wedding cake.“
“I am a Puerto Rican muslim who has been searching for a halal Spanish restaurant from NJ, CHI, PR, and Fl and could not find one! Until I stumbled across Sazones. I initially thought this was too good to be true and that I was going to be disappointed, and I was WRONG. Although they did not have my favorite Pollo giusado, their rotisserie chicken, steak, sweet plantains, tostones and my favorite alcapurria made up for it.“
“How they accomplish exactly what my daughter wants every year is beyond me.Last year was Hello Kitty and Dinosaurs and this year is Dinosaurs in Space.. I literally just said “I have no idea how but please help me”and they blew us away both times. I recommend them to everyone. Also, the cakes taste amazing!!!! 10 out of 10 all around. You guys are amazing!“
“I cookies are very uniqueVegetarian options: N/ADietary restrictions: If you are a diabetic then you may want to check out the ingredients for your health benefitParking: There is no real parking because of where the store front isKid-friendliness: It’s a nice environment“
“If you want fresh cookies with a delicious taste, you should visit them. They have large-sized cookies, the shop owner has a fine taste in decorating cookies. In short, visit Great America Cookies to know what I am talking about. As for their prices, they are nothing compared to the service, taste, cleanliness, and arrangement.“
“I finally stopped at Jerusalem Sweets. It is a beautiful little shop! The sweets are perfectly displayed and they look amazing. The staff is very friendly and took the time to explain all of the many different sweets. The gentleman helping me took great care to package everything perfectly. I can’t even tell you how delightful the sweets are. Light and flaky pastry, creamy and delicious fillings and wonderfully nutty baklava. Everything was absolutely amazing!“
“Got Cupcakes and cookies on my way to work they were a huge hit! The lemon, carrot and fudge cupcakes were the biggest hit. I personally really enjoyed the mintastic and apple pie alamode. I had people clambering for when I could get them again.“
“I saw this little gem on a TikTok video and instantly knew I had to try! My husband works nearby Cake N Bake, so I had him stop and bring home a little treat to try. I got the Nutella stuffed croissant and oh my, it was perfection. Not too sweet, buttery, flaky… just absolutely wonderful. Can’t wait to go back and support this little shop!!“
“Stopped in while waiting on my order from a nearby restaurant and I’m SO GLAD I did!! Chef Ced was up front and helped me get the pecan lunchroom cookies. I originally wanted just the butter ones but he recommended the pecan cookies and I’m sooooo glad I went with his recommendation. I ate 3 in the in less than 2 minutes ?? Chef Ced was pleasant and I could tell he’s very passionate about what he does. 100/10 definitely recommend!“
“My favorite cookies are:#2 their version of the oatmeal cream pie#1 the Willy Wonka (red velvet cake, cream in the middle with hard candy sprinkles)I can’t eat this everyday but when I’m in my feelings they always have something different & that I like! Check them out!“
“Love Racin bakery in this place fresh daily I'm always satisfied what ever I purchase there my biggest thumbs up is the buttter cokies I usually get it's far more superior than other bakery I use to purchase from one bite and it's obvious freindly staff“
“Smallcakes in Homewood has an amazing variety of cupcakes that are all super yummy. What I love even more is their ice cream. The flavors are unique, they make it in house, and it’s beyond delicious. The Banana Pudding and Hennessy Caramel Butter Cake ice creams are my favorite.“
“My server demi was very attentive and got everything right in my very detail difficult order I always have crazy requests and she meet every need of mine. She was quick with getting us drinks and made us feel like we were the only ones in the in the restaurant even tho it was very busy and packed. She definitely deserves all the stars and the food is excellent there I got the biscuits and gravy and ciabatta sunrise sandwich they were both so good and full of flavor! I just want to say she made the experience worth it to come back again and again. I request her every time.“
“I’ve been going to Wolfs Bakery for the last two years for birthdays, special occasions, and sometimes just for sweets! They have the best cakes, the best cookies, the best muffins, and the best breads. Everything they’ve made has been on time a good price and of course delicious!“
“Al Medina Bakery offers an authentic Middle Eastern hospitality that is truly remarkable from the moment you step in.Their homemade pastries and baked goods stand out as the finest. A quick visit for a single spice turned into a delightful surprise of leaving with four bags filled with their delectable homemade foods. By the way, some of the pastries never made it home. LOL .Special thanks to "Z" for the introduction to these delicious pastries.“
“Let me say you made my Daughters baby shower perfect !Starting from the order to the pickup everything went 100 % perfect , from her warm welcome to the attentive care given on packing the cake for my trip to Nebraska .The fear of Flash freezing the cake to throwing it out everything went perfect. Just letting you know you can flash freeze a cake for travel.The cake was just perfect not too sweet and extremely light and fluffy delicious flavor. Thank you.“
“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!!!“
“I ordered a full lamb stuffed with misakhan and variety of sides! The food was out of this world, cooked with perfection! I like to make my own food, but ordering from this amazing place seriously was like a home cooked meal! Fresh, spices were perfect, salads and hummus so fresh! I highly recommend the Orland Market & Bakery catering for all your occasions! Service and the crew so friendly and punctual!!“
“Very appropriate sweat content of sweets. Not too sweat or drenched in syrup. Loved the soft Kunafae and different Baklava varieties. Wish got to know the specific names to mention but any type of Baklava will be a safe bet. Will recommend.“
“Nothing Bundt Cake Orland Park was wonderful for my wedding two weeks ago and Joanne helped every step of the way! :) Not only did she ease my mind and made the process seamless, but she facilitated the set up at our venue which eased a lot of stress of myself and family. And for the price, we received more then enough bundtini's for our reception! I would 10/10 recommend for weddings, and even for just grabbing a bundt cake :)“
“I love Crumbl cookies so much but my experience at the Orland Park location was amazing. The staff was pleasant and answered all of my questions. The store was very clean and tidy. My cookies were fresh and tasted delicious. I would definitely return to this location.“
“I ordered the Tres Leches cake for a birthday and it was all around amazing. The cake tasted incredible and the design was so perfect! We got the smallest size and it fed our group of 13 and we had about half the cake still left. I will definitely be ordering from here again!!!“
“I just went in there thinking it will be , I don't know, but it is like a palace of pure pleasure. The staff was welcoming and the sweets are unbelievable. Guys don't pass this place by, it is a gem. BTW I never post a review but for this I had to.“
“Best experience ever!!! The owner & staff was so nice. Me and my fiancé attend their baking class today and we both really enjoyed it. She explained everything very welll and even help us throughout the session. We traveled 3 hours to visit and it was well worth it. I will be back. I also won cookies playing bingo while baking our cooking and the cookies I won was amazing they tasted so good. If you are in the area please try them and book a baking class you will not be disappointed.“
““The best cake I’ve had” was quoted several times at our daughter’s birthday party! Not only did the bakery knock it out of the park with the aesthetics of the cake (just look at the photos WOW), the taste was also outstanding! We will be a repeat customer for sure!“

“The food is delicious. I love the Turkey burger. It's the juiciest turkey burger I've had on the south side. They got it! Service is always great and the vibes are good too. The caramel cake is the best I've ever had, yes I promise it's better than your grandmas! Check them out and support.“
“I was craving cupcakes so I stopped by to try it out. Upon entering the girl at the register was very nice and welcoming. They had quite a few options to choose from and I decided on the Oreo and hostess cupcakes. Both were yummy and hit the spot. Since they have a wide variety of flavors I definitely will come back and try more.“
“Stopped in yesterday for the first of many visits. The service was warm and friendly. I ordered scones, doughnuts and Irish soda bread. My co-workers and I were blown away by how delicious everything tasted. Light and fresh baked good that kept people going back for seconds and thirds. Looking forward to trying their other items on the menu.“
“Absolutely recommend this place I haven’t had a donut as good since I tasted these beautiful creations. The employees are so friendly and they let me take my time to browse all the amazing options. If you haven’t tried it make sure you go ASAP.“
“First timer. Although, i'd been hearing great things, I was hesitant to make the drive but when they had a pop up with Manny's Deli, I had to make the trip. I was glad I did. Free cupcake with every sandwich. I purchased 2 sandwiches, so that means too cupcakes.....Sweet.......I opted for the caramel and the rainbow sherbet. My son loves rainbow sherbet and the owner swore it tasted just like it. She was correct by the way. I also took 2 slices of caramel pound cake, a slice of caramel cheesecake and a slice of lemon cheesecake.....I had to share, so I got a variety. All were excellent and the caramel is the truth. These paired well with coffee or milk. Both owners were present and interacting with customers. Since this pop up was on a major thorughfair on the southside of Chicago during the lunch rush on a Friday, parking can be a challenge. Luckily, I arrive just before this. Parked just accross the street. The storefront is clearly marked, but it's easy to miss. The inside is small but, large enough to accommodate a small crowd picking up orders. I can easily see how a line could spill out onto the sidewalk because between people getting sandwiches, which was off to the side in the interior and the counter and display case immedately upon entry, this place was beginning to fill up fast. After my visit, I recently ordered more desserts to have them delivered at home via dwell social. I'm not a dessert person but this place has me re-thinking that.“
“I have been looking for a Mexican bakery in Garfield ridge area with good conchas. If a bakery messes up a concha then the rest of the bread is not good!! There are very few places that make good concha's I only know two. One in Pilsen -Nuevo Leon and one on Harlem and Armitage - La Central bakery. Well I stopped at Acapulco bakery and did the concha test. I was so pleasantly surprised and happy to say not only did they have a delicious concha but their hojarascas hearts were also delicious and very flavorful. 100 percent recommend this place! Best part is they have the mini conchas.“
“I don’t normally post reviews but I had to take the time to recognize this bakery. They did cake pops, cupcakes and cookies for my daughter-in-law’s baby shower and they were the rave of the party. People generally comment on food after a party but rarely desserts, at least in my circle but got tons of compliments. Will definitely not hesitate to make this my first choice for desserts/dessert table moving forward. Their selection is beyond the scope of what you find in a Southside bakery. And their attention to detail is top notch!“
“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!“
“I always forget to write reviews, but this one is a must especially because before you go to a place I feel like you do a little research on the place and such. These cupcakes met my expectations, they were delicious! Also, I don’t believe it’s expensive, prices are reasonable. People just like to complain about prices. You get what you pay for.“
“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.“
“My family has ordered a few cakes from there, they never disappoint! Last weekend. I had my wedding and ordered my cake from there. It looked exactly as I wanted it too and I got so many compliments on how good it was. Definitely recommend their cake over anything else!“
“I moved a few months ago to Central Illinois from southern California where there was plenty of Middle Eastern bakeries. I googled and drove two hours to this place and I am so happy that I did that. The pastries were amazing. The bread was soft, and the pies were savory. This was worth a drive and I will be coming back very soon.“
“Deliciousness!! Penthouse Sweets did the cake for my sisters wedding and catered to her desired look perfectly. She requested a semi-naked cake with rose placements. The baker was super nice and professional. The cake turned out beautiful and tasted just as great! The shop does host tastings monthly. & I believe slices, cupcakes, and other treats are sold daily.“
“My son and i just left and the CUSTOMER SERVICE ?? THE FOOD OMGGG 5⭐️….. The owner and his daughter are AMAZING The whole Crew was WONDERFUL!!….. WE WILL BE BACK AND I RECOMMEND ALL TO ATLEAST TRY EM ONCE CAUSE YOU WILL BE GOING BACK! Oh it was sooo good i forgot to take before and after “
“Was once the Best old time Bakery hands down in the area! It's now changed hands and under a revival. Currently operating as a pop up next door to the original location. Tried some of the items at this location in the past and it was not up to expectations. This time was different. Had the pazki and it brought back the memories of the original. Really good and better than any you can find. Looking forward to the grand reopening of this great local institution. If all the recipes can be duplicated it will be a shining success!“
“Out by me in the Huntley area there’s nothing like this place around. You have to drive towards Chicago. I found this beautiful place on Google maps while searching for Ethnic Arabic food and deserts.So, I took my daughter with for the experience and joy of trying something different. As a Middle Eastern myself I remember doing the same with my father growing up.Hands down very impressed with the bakery. I’ll be coming back as often as I can.The picture is of my daughter and I with the owner and his son. Thanks for the great conversations.“
“Just want to extend my gratitude for the staff at the bakery. Jenn, Carlie, Alyssa all supported my efforts to make my dad’s 70th birthday special. He doesn’t ask for much so when he said he wanted a three layer white cake with buttercream between the layers, that’s what I set out to accomplish. No worries, they said. ? The cake was delicious and HUGE!! Like, I had to give cake to the restaurant staff to prevent him from going home and entering a sugar coma!! They even found an eatable image to match my theme. Thank a thousand times! New favorite bakery. We’ll be back “
“We had the Bourbon flavor & Sweet-Heat Wings…delicious! And the ribs were melt in your mouth goodness! Can also highly recommend the caramel cake & lunchroom butter cookies! Granny and Debbie are welcoming & make you feel like family! We will definitely be ordering again!“
“Best place on the planet when you need a custom cake and dessert display I can't explain how good these people are they take pride in there work I'm so proud and grateful that I met them and they treat me like family absolutely the greatest tasting desserts and cake I ever had I posted some pictures. ATTENTION PLEASE are you guys listening to me I just said the best place on the planet stop looking anywhere else and mess with the best.... CAKES DESSERTS FRESH FRUIT CARVED DISPLAYS DESSERT TABLES Trust me you will love it I Promise“
“Nancy's Bakery always welcomes you with a greeting, sense of urgency and interest in crafting a contemporary cake to your liking. They are notable for variety and versatility on their menu; this can be said about their breads, beverage arrangement and snacks. Worth giving it a try if you want something original.“
“Witek's offers a nice variety of Polish pastries. It's a cute little bakery with friendly staff. Their version of the plecionka (raisin bread) is the best in the area! The pączki are also delicious! Definitely stop by if you're looking for some authentic and fresh Polish desserts and breads!“
“This review is long overdue. My family has been eating honey wafers since I was a child, (I'm 66). Family in other states request that I bring the wafers when I visit. The customer service is great! I had called to purchase a box to take to family, and the owner answered, he was out delivering wafers to stores, I wanted to go to the business to purchase them. He asked what direction we were heading, (to Wisconsin). He met us just off the highway so that I could bring them FRESH to my family. Excellent customer service!!!“
