“Such kind people!! First time coming here with my partner and we were in awe looking at everything they had! We almost couldn’t choose lol! Luckily the lady was able to read my mind and let us sample CHOCOLATE RUGULAH!! MY FAVORITE. Definitely gonna be back soon I recommend them for all your pastry needs!!!“
“Absolutely delicious cake. Ordered for my son's birthday and they were super accommodating and the cake was honestly one of the best I've ever had. The bakery is super clean and all the employees I dealt with were super friendly and very professional.“
“Great old fashioned bakery with a nice selection of breads, pastries and cookies. The hard rolls (less than $1 each!) looked phenomenal as did the bagels. Since it was close to St. Patrick's Day, they had Irish soda bread and also hot cross buns available. There were also biscuits with raisins in them. They looked fine! Unfortunately, there is no seating in the store, it is simply a store. I could see this being a nice place to come for a morning bagel or hard roll with butter. They just aren't set up to do so. I got an eclair and it was excellent, large and had a great ganache frosting. It was gone quite quickly. They also had a nice selection of cookies, danish and turnover pastries. You can buy rolls separately or in a bag. They have dinner rolls, too. If you're looking for "Texas toast" this is where you can get that kind of bread. Other kinds of bread that they have: Multigrain, Rye (unseeded), a pulled(?) white, and others. There was much more than I recall. Definitely worth the trip. Prices were reasonable and I'm sure the quality is better than you'll find at a grocery store.“
“Stopped a couple blocks away for lunch and happened to notice Ermie’s Cake Pops!I happen to know a 10 year old that absolutely loves cake pops. So I bought a bunch of different varieties for everyone to enjoy!They were absolutely delicious and everyone loved the cute figures & the decorations!I hear the hours can be hit & miss, so do call ahead to avoid cake pop disappointment.“
“Absolutely delicious cheese danish - so terrific I ate them all before I could take a picture because they were so so good. They’re cheap too! Everything is 1$ so who can complain?? Will be my go to shop for pastries while at the Southside Farmers Market!“
“Small bakery, big surprise! Nice lady behind a counter full of goodies. Packaged cookies, pies in the cooler, loaf-sized coffee cakes! Picked up two danish, one cinnamon swirl, and an apple walnut strudel (?) for $10! WHAT!?!? That's insane! Danish are buttery, strudel was amazing! I'll be back.“
“I've had the pleasure of visiting this charming little bakery four times now, with two of those visits occurring just within the past week. My commitment to supporting local businesses is unwavering, and this bakery has certainly won me over. Let's dive into the delightful treats they offer. Each cookie I've sampled has been nothing short of fantastic, particularly the double chocolate and oatmeal raisin varieties. Honestly, I could devour them all day if given the chance. The cupcakes, characterized by their light texture, take on a delightful richness depending on the topping, a quality I absolutely adore. Venturing beyond the sweet side, I also indulged in their savory offerings, particularly the vegan pot pie, which proved to be remarkably tasty - so much so that I couldn't resist getting another one today. Intrigued, I also picked up a chicken pot pie, eagerly anticipating a flavorful comparison. What makes this place truly special is the warm and friendly atmosphere created by the owners. It feels like a genuine mom-and-pop establishment, with the mother and father passionately baking in the back while their son attends to customers up front. The bakery itself is a cozy, brightly colored haven with seating for around eight people, providing a comfortable space to savor these delectable treats. With such a positive experience on each visit, I eagerly anticipate many more delightful moments at this wonderful bakery.“
“Always a win at Minooka! I’ve ordered pies and cakes for special occasions, and I’ve also dropped in for last-minute sweets from the display. Family and friends always compliment their desserts, and it has saved me tons of time with their easy online ordering. Their key lime pie has become a birthday tradition for my family, and the strawberry cake will probably be my daughter’s favorite birthday cake ever. The customer service is top notch, even on their busiest days like Pi Day and pickup for thanksgiving orders. My only suggestion would be to have a separate line for desserts ordered ahead on those busy days. I hope minooka continues to enjoy many more years of success with their delicious food and friendly service!Dietary restrictions: They have a designated gluten free freezer case with a great variety of desserts and breads. I’ve ordered gluten free cupcakes for a school party, and the teacher was impressed with how delicious they were!“
