“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 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.“
“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!“
“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“
“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!“
“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.“
“It was hard leaving this place without getting one of everything. The rolled croissants are amazing. These beasts of a treat are well worth the trip. Buttery, flaky, flavorful, packed with filling. Not too sweet.Their cupcakes and single serving cheesecake cups are also superb. Small boutique, not really a place to hang out and enjoy. Friendly staff. Highly recommend.“
“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.“
“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’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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“These cookies are amazing they are better then Craze cookies. You cut them into 4 and you have enough in one little square to curve your sweet craving them have some for later. If you take them to work cut them in 4 with there cookie cutter that way everyone can try and see what one they like. It is a win “

“I have referred a lot of businesses, family and friends to your 7907 S. Champlain location Pie Guys Bakery Presents Turkey Chop. I'm getting all these calls stating that they can't find Turkey Chop info. All the contact information (hours of operation, telephone numbers etc are not found easily). If the office number for Pie Guys is posted it should also be business number to the location. (suggestion) Also on the review it say fish tacos and slushy and I have never seen that on menu. I can't put how my food was because it doesnt list the food on menu. People like to place lunch orders and thy calling around for the direct number inside the business. Thanks in advance for the correction to be made.Parking: Parking is ok with me I dont have any complaints.“
“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.“
““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!“
“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.“
“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 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!“
“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.“
“Nostalgic!The sweet potato pie is an EXPERIENCE!The potato chip cookie is INTERESTING (not a fan fav, but it's butter cookie with plain ruffle like chip crumbles).They serve more than baked goods... they even serve meals, like shepherds pie and lasagna.Black businesses are the PILLARS of our COMMUNITIES. Be kind, GIVE THEM SOME SUGAH! THEY'LL GIVE IT BACK!“
“Your bread is very tasty! But would it be too much to ask them to put prices on their bread? To have at least an idea of how much we will have to pay, especially since they only accept cash.Very good bread! But could you please price your bread? Especially since it's cash only. I want to at least have an idea of what my total will be.“
“It is an oasis. They only carry milkshakes cookies and cupcakes. The cupcakes are the bomb. The cookies surprised me. Now I prefer the cookies. You need to eat the cupcakes quickly but the cookies will last. Everything is pretty decedent.They got me to come back with the cupcakes then I tried the cookies. It's unfair for us people with a sweet tooth.I recommend the ice cream selection as well. There is nothing not to like. Try it . You won't be sorry, unless you can't catch them when they are open..“
“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!“
“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 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.“
“This Bakery has been around for quite a few Decades, and they Still Offer the Same Friendly and Courtesty Service they have Always been Known for!!! They Make an Variety of Donuts, Coffee Cake and Other Pastries!!! All Pastries are Baked Daily, Special Request can be Put in for in Advance!!! Phone ahead for Working time frame!!! The Prices Match those from Surrounding Bakery's!!! One drawbacks they are Closed On Monday. There is One Baker On hand, So Place Orders Timely!!! My Coworkers and I, ...enjoyed Delicious Donuts with a Great Cup of Joe!!! Next time I'll Post Pics before I hastily Eating All the Donuts!!! ?♀️“
“I called this business during the week of 4th of July to order my son a birthday cake. They said they can make it happen and did! This was my first time having their cake, & it was really good. The only thing I didn't like was the letters they used on the cake, but no biggie. I would order again.“
“I chose Hi way bakery because my parents used to get our cakes there when we were kids. I called them during Holy Week as I needed a custom order cake for my daughter’s birthday coming up on that weekend. They were able to accommodate my request and the cake turned out absolutely beautiful!!! My daughter was very pleased. I highly recommend their cakes and their vanilla long Johns. The service is excellent too. Everyone is so friendly!“
“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.“
“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!“
“Crystal made us an "Enterprise" cake for our 20th anniversary. It was gorgeous, and we all agreed it was the best cake we had ever tasted. Moist, fluffy, tempting aroma, delicious buttercream. There were fewer people at the party than expected, so we put some leftovers out for the people in our building. I forgot to photograph it but this was the design. The actual cake was much prettier“
“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 “
“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“
“Chef Sara's feels like my grandma's house. You're received with a warm welcome and fresh food. The coffee is always strong and the food is consistently delicious. Plus, it feels like everyone that works and eats here already knows each other and once you step in, they just take you right in with the most delicious waffles and pancakes you'll ever have. You can tell chef Sara's throws love into every recipe, and you deserve some of that love.“
“This has been a treat. From asking her what I wanted to the detail in my nieces cake. But WAIT, the flavor was fantastic ? if you want custom cakes and are looking for the best flavor and fresh. This is your place, and I will totally recommend it“
“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.“
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I have used Tee Cakes for many occasions now and if I could give 20 stars I would!! Taryn is beyond professional and her work is stunning beautiful but not only is it beautiful it also tastes delicious!! She is spot on with every order I can go on and on and on!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND“
“They are pretty good, pretty damn close to the original cook, but not spot on. But you won't be disappointed in them, they are a nice size and have a nice thickness to them, and most of all them moist and make you feel you are eating the real thing. I order a full case of butter and case of peanut butter. I think I will start ordering these for family holidays, I know they would much rather eat these cookies that cake all the time.“
“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 !“
