Bakeries near Downers Grove

“Great place. The first driveway is where shipping/receiving is at, but if you want to park overnight take the second driveway and go up on the hill past the employee parking. 30 minute unloading and nice people. I posted a picture of where I spent the night.“

“Today my morning started with breakfast there. I was in a bad mood , but thanks to the high level of service, my mood immediately changed to positive??. Emilia who worked at drive thru today- showing how thing should going to keep Panera Bread favourite place in my breakfast list“

“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.“

“I just had my very first order from Sweet Reserve Bakery and I am completely in love! I ordered a variety. the cookie butter in a jar was probably the best dessert I've ever had! so delicious, perfect serving. super reasonable prices! 5 stars, 4thumbs up!“

“I was very excited to try their peach cobbler and it did not disappoint. Great flavor and nice crust. We came in close to closing time and the customer service was friendly and not rushed. We’ll definitely be back to try a few other items on the menu!“

“My daughter accidentally ordered from the wrong location so we had to cancel the order but she lost her birthday cookie voucher in the process. We still placed an order but she was disappointed. We still love the cookie experience though. Fun to share the experience of trying the different flavors with my teens.“

“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.“

“Rosie does such an amazing job with cakes! This was her first time doing a burn cake and she did an amazing job. This is actually my second time ordering my birthday cake with her and it’s been so good. She does not disappoint! The photos don’t do them justice! And the flavor… just perfection! 1000/10“

“I hired Roughedges Confectionery for my daughters’ bridal shower after sampling some of their treats at local events. They were not only beautiful but insanely delicious! Everyone at the event commented on her desserts saying they were not only gorgeous, but the best cupcakes, flourless chocolate bites and cookies they’ve ever eaten. Kai and her team went above and beyond to make the event perfect by being so easy to work with, displayed the desserts so beautifully and actually had a member of her team pick mint sprigs from her garden that I forgot to bring! I can’t say thank you enough for making the event just perfect!Dietary restrictions: Kai also made gluten free options for several guests which were delicious!“

“This place is adorable. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. We ordered a lemon and a banana pudding cupcake and both were fantastic. The white cake is so soft and fluffy and moist. The cupcake was so fresh and had great flavor. I love that they offer puppy cupcakes as well. They have the best cupcakes I have ever had in my life. I will definitely be coming back and recommending this place. Thank you, Area 51! Fantastic gem place for lovely cupcakes.“

“beautiful array of baked goods. Only sampled a meal of stuffed cabbage (excellent mashed potatoes, sauce and cabbage and even carrots were full of flavor but much saltier than I'm used to), lovely roll and dessert. Mexican wedding cookie had good flavor and somewhat tender.“

“We love Crumbl Cookie. I got a personal box for my hubby for our 3 year anniversary and the fact that you can write a note and put a label on it is awesome. The blueberry cheese cake was his favorite and the cookie butter was mine. We definitely will be returning customers.“

“Ate at Harvest Pancake House & Grill for a late breakfast/early lunch and loved it! We got the country skillet and a chipotle chicken avocado panini with fries. Everything was fresh and delicious. I was surprised how good and moist the chicken was. Place was clean and fresh. Service was great and the waitress were all very friendly and polite.“

“If you haven't had the Carmel Pecan coffee cake, just call and order it. You will absolutely not be disappointed!!! Probably the best coffee cake I've had. The dough is perfection and the pecan filling and caramel topping are to die for. We also had a cherry coffee cake which was wonderful. I can't say enough about this bakery. The donuts are great too!“

“Had a phenomenal time talking and eating at this wonderful deli!! Extremely kind people!! The food was amazing. I had the double turkey and cheddar on a fresh Kaiser roll and chicken and dumpling soup. Great drink selection. They have Hungarian delicacies also.“

“I absolutely love going to the one in Chinatown so was ecstatic to find out there's one in Naperville now. It's every bit as good, but parking is easier, it's not packed and chaotic, and the staff is so much friendlier.Their Carmel macchiato is my favorite.“

“This is based off real time. My patient recommended me this bakery and wanted to get my partner some tiramisu. Mind you, it's cash ONLY. The tiramisu is $2.75 so take note. The service was quick but I only had $10 with me. I asked for 5 but then asked for 4 then 3 because of the cash I had. The server was talking to another customer in Italian and was already distracted. Once I saw the price, I told her only 3. She gave me this weird and impatient look and was very rude. Hence why I took 1 star off. It's prolly good food, just very hostile environment if you're not Italian. Update: taste wise the tiramisu is a little on the drier side and has a small layer of chocolate in the bottom. I would prefer going to pasta fresh in Chicago since that tiramisu is a little more moist and fresh.“

“We came here to warm up and get a midday snack since we were in the area. We came an hour before closing and there were still plenty of baked goods available. There was also plenty of seating and it was clean inside. I had a blackberry brownie and a blueberry basil matcha latte. I typically dislike sweet drinks so I was hesitant to order the latte. However, it wasn't overly sweet and the flavor was interesting (in a good way). The blackberry brownie was rich and also delicious. My child had a big chocolate chip cookie and devoured it instantly. I wish we came for lunch since there were intriguing menu items but we will be back if we are in the area!“

“Stopped in here and didn't know what to expect. Elderly Italian lady greeted me, so nice and friendly! Got a 6-in Italian sub and a panzerotti. The sub was larger than 6 in, quality meat, a nice tasting dressing and not all the other stuff they throw on at other places, like lettuce and tomatoes and whatever else. Simple and perfect.I say this with pretty good knowledge of all the popular Italian sub places in the area. I have lived in the neighborhood all my life.Since it was my first time here she also threw in a couple of loaves of bread for free, a very nice gesture. I will be back.“

“I work in sales and am always bringing my accounts different treats! I needed something for a couple of local accounts and found Sauer's. I have seen it several times but never stopped in. The selection was terrific and the prices were unbeatable! I got a French Flop for one account and a Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake for another. My boss got a text later in the day, from the account I gave the Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake to, asking where we got it from and how incredible it was! I will definitely be back (and hopefully get myself something soon!)!!“

“Another great cookie experience with Cookies by Design in Naperville! I placed my order with Colleen via telephone due to an ordering glitch on the website. Colleen was outstanding and the cookies were fabulous...as usual. Next time I'm going to try their cupcakes. They look amazing. And the shoppe smelled so good!“

“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!!“

“They close at 2:00. I pulled into the parking lot at 1:40 considering do I really want to be that person that walks in ordering a last minute sandwich? I saw two customers come out so I went in to go ahead and try. Staff was very friendly and made me 2 delicious sandwiches to go. Good bagels, good sandwiches. I'll be back. And they have alfalfa sprouts! Absolutely the best sandwich addition.“

“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“

“Old-fashioned neighborhood bakery. Shelf that rings the upper reaches of the bakery is lined with cookie jars. Saturday mornings, the line stretches to the door as customers come in for donuts and coffee cakes.Kuppie's is also generous with community, donating product to help either fundraising.“

“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 $$$ !!!!“

“She did an incredible job with this 1st birthday cake and delivery was on time, everything as promised!! I could not recommend her more. Flavor of the cake and frosting was also SO GOOD. A lot of time cakes can look pretty but taste terrible. I would highly recommend her.“

“This company bakes amazing sprouted grain breads. The only issue I have with them is shipping to the west coast. The cost of shipping is too high IMHO. I wonder why they can't use USPS priority flat rate boxes. That'll be so much cheaper for some of us to be able to order regularly. I wanted to order some more but at almost $60 I'm unable to. I hope they can look into this issue. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a local business that carries these breads.“

“Sweet Ali's is amazing from the baked goods themselves to the service! There was a mix up with my order on their end and they rectified it by driving out the correct ones to me in the same day since I needed them for Easter. The customer service is amazing!!! I will recommend them over and over! (The Key lime pie and Tiramisu are both so delicious! My dad said the eggplant Parmesan was delicious.) So happy they exist for us gluten free peeps! (Non-gf people love their goods as well!). Have to add... they even gave us beautiful, delicious cupcakes when they delivered the quiches!“

“I'm not 100% sold on this yet. Don't get me wrong, the cookies are amazing. They had a carrot cake cookie that I would say ok for $5 but their regular size cookies for that same price is where I'm not totally sold. Don't get me wrong, they taste really good. I will definitely try them again, but only for their bigger cookies. The strawberry pretzel was my favorite. The carrot cake with a bit more nuts would be awesome, and I'm one of those that wants raisins with carrot cake. My only negative once again is $5 for a regular sized cookie that is delicious.FYI, there are 2 touchscreens on the counter. That is where you order. They were backwards when we went in and there was absolutely no way of knowing until they finally assisted us. So if they are backwards, flip them around and order.“

“The four stars is for the restaurant itself. This review is regarding a waitress they have working there, Kate. She was a horrible waitress. I asked for a Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi, whichever they have and she told me they have "Mexican Coke" what the hell is that?! I said, you don't have Diet Pepsi, she said yeah we do, I was like well that's what I asked for.She was not attentive and literally forgot about us sitting in the back. I had to get up and go ask someone if she was still there! The guy I asked said she was still there and he would send her back and even then she took a bit to come back to the table. The place wasn't even crowded. Anyway, Kate finally comes and takes our to go order, since we wanted to take some food home too. Comes back with the to go food and checks, there were three of us and she brought three separate checks, great! Well we tipped according to what we felt she deserved (even then, she actually got more than what she deserved). Also by the way, anytime we go out to eat, we are VERY generous tippers, but do tip accordingly.I go to the washroom and come back and she was at the table talking to my sister and when I walked up, I heard her saying, she left me 10% and you left me 18% and she left me 15% and I just wanna know why? Was there something wrong with my service? She was legit upset! I said to her wait, you're actually questioning your tip? She kept saying that she wanted to know if there was something wrong with the service, but she knows what she was doing. I honestly never in my life have ever had anyone do something like this, I was shocked! Not to mention there were other people sitting around and she was pointing at each of us telling us what we gave her for a tip! It was the most absurd thing! The audacity!So she finally walks away and I go ask for the manager, who happened to be the guy that I asked if she was still there. His name was Sam and he was very nice and very apologetic, he said he was embarrassed and that he would let the owner know. I sure hope he did because employees like this (speaking of employees like that, there were a couple of them behind the deli counter giving us some of the hardest looks, they must be friends!) are going to drive away customers! But I do have to say, the food is amazing and it is a great place!“

“We love this Sweetwaters location! A cute ambiance with yummy coffee/food and amazing service. My daughter and I have made it a Friday morning tradition to come in, partly because the barista Komal is always so delightful. I'm so glad this coffee shop is part of our community. Highly recommend!!Kid-friendliness: They have a great selection of board games, perfect for kids!“

“CrumbCrusher is such an incredible bakery, their treats are absolutely delicious. I have had to get gluten free items, dairy free items, and even a mixture of the two. They are so accommodating, helpful and speedy to turn things around when needed. I really can't say enough about how much we truly enjoy all their baked goods, especially the cupcakes and cake pops. I also love supporting a small, local business. Tell all your friends :-)!“

“The taste is definitely there.Selection is really limited if looking for lunch options.Unfortunately, the Veggie or Michele Special Sandwich I ordered, only had a few pieces of cheese and deli meat. The bread tasted very very fresh. I know we say quality over quantity but please fill up the sandwiches! I would love to go back if so. Thank you!“

“My experience was a 10 plus. The staff was so helpful in helping me place my order and coordinating the pick up. The cake was beautiful as well as delicious. Our granddaughter said it was definitely a "real" tres leche cake. I can't say enough good things about this bakery.“

“These days I'm not sure a bakery can really deliver everything one'd hope for in the past. Lezza has a great variety of bakery products, and you'll find some of them to be very reasonably priced. I love the lemon knot cookies and the Italian ice, and you'll find traditional cookies here too as well as danishes and donuts. There are very few independently owned places anymore with variety and low-cost options for treats and coffee, but this is one of them!“

“This place is the place that’s been missing from your life. The staff is helpful and friendly. The amount of roll you get is plentiful! And the way they combine the ingredients and toppings are just out of this world. Can’t say enough.. other than Wow. Try it!“

“I was in the Villa Park area and decided to use Yelp to find a bakery in the area. I came across Kuppie's Bakery and decided to drive there. I was warmly greeted by a lady working at the counter. I asked for a dozen donuts and picked which donuts I wanted. I waited until I got home to try a chocolate donut. This was one of the best donuts I've ever had. My wife and son also agreed on how delicious they were. I will definitely go back.“

“An excellent experience for our first visit!!! Plenty of parking, greeted immediately upon entering and guided to a booth. The menu has a HUGE amount of selections and large portions too!!! Can’t wait to try out more for future breakfast and lunch visits. Our waitress? Samantha was very attentive to our needs and checked on us several times during our visit. She did things for us that we normally have to request at other restaurants. A clean and inviting atmosphere!!! The owner is down to earth and knows what diners want. They are relatively new to the area, but I see a long term relationship. Try them and see for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!!!“

“Pay attention to the ambiance of your bakery. Creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere can enhance the overall dining experience, encouraging customers to spend more time in your establishment and potentially increasing their spending.“

“I experienced time travel when I walked into the bakery. It reminded me of my family's bakery from the 1970s. The danish and donut did not disappoint my nostalgic tastebuds which were super fresh. I do wish they were open on Sunday so I could get a fresh treat.“

“Thank you so much for your amazing detail, Gina! You are truly a great artist, and baker! We were absolutely so happy with our cakes that you did for us! We had sent you a photo, and you could do exactly what we asked for on a cake, we are really appreciative of your attention to detail, and the customers needs. You definitely listen to the customers needs, and make peoples birthdays extra special with your artistic ability! We will definitely be sending you referrals, and more orders for cakes in the future! I really felt heard as a customer at My Grandpa's Store! Thank you again, Gina!“

“hands down BEST CRUMBL LOCATION IN THE CHICAGOLAND AREA!!! We have a store literally 3 minutes from our house and we still drive to Oakbrook because this store has the best selections and the staff is always on point and very inviting!! Been coming here since they opened up and would not go elsewhere!“

“I have nothing but good things to say about the black guy that was working by himself this morning as I watched him From my car at curbside pick up, he was inside working hard by himself and brought the cookies to my car with a smile on his face. The cookies were absolutely beautiful probably the best looking ones I’ve ordered from Crumbl and I come every week please give him a raise. We need more people happy to do their job kudos to him“

“The owner is one of the best people on the planet. She has gone from politics and her own day to day behind a desk work to putting all that behind her to do something she loves to do. When you have that opportunity how can you not be great. I should go there more, I do every time I am in the neighborhood, even if its just to get some cookies. Old world bakery just what you would expect.“

“Saturday lunch and we had the eating area to ourselves. But lots of carry out activity during our visit. Both got combo plates and can of soda for $11 each. Great value. Couldn't tell you the proper names, but the vegetables with bitter melon, the pork one, and the squid one was very good. Also got some baked goods. Parking was limited.“

“Courageous Bakery and Cafe has some solid breakfast and pastry choices. My husband is a huge sucker for breakfast burritos and I am a huge fan of buttery, flakey biscuits. Courageous has both so it's a win-win for us! Besides breakfast, we would typically order croissants, cupcakes, and/or 4 inch birthday cake to go. None of those have disappointed us. The only downside is the horchata loca latte was somewhat mediocre in which both horchata and coffee flavors were underwhelming.“

“My favorite birthday cake that I’ve ever had! Decorated beautifully and tasted great. The frosting had just the right amount of sugar and was so smooth and the best frosting I’ve ever had! The cake was very moist. The macarons on top were also very good! The strawberry macaron tasted like a fresh strawberry. I will order all my cakes from her in the future!“
