Not only is this place in amazing bakery, but they have desserts and ice cream and other great snacks that you can come in and purchase. They even have sandwiches premade up and beverages that you can buy for lunch on the go. They also have cake by the slice, I love the cheesecake with berries, and the Tres leches. Today for the first time my husband and I decided to try the fruit with cream. I had the strawberries with cream and it was absolutely delicious. They line the cup with strawberry syrup. My husbands was the exact same as mine but instead of the fresh strawberries he selected fresh bananas. They were both delicious! We also love and highly recommend the ice cream, my husband gets the eggnog with raisins and I always get the strawberry cheesecake. If your in the area don't think twice about stopping in for an epic experience!

I don't have much to say on service, since this was a surprise birthday cake. But my mom said the staff was very sweet! The cake was absolutely delicious. There was layers of chocolate and vanilla cake, with a layer of strawberry jam, and a cheesecake like layer. My favorite frosting is a whipped cream frosting, so it was delightful on this cake. What a wonderful surprise birthday cake! I can't wait to see what other treats they have.

I connected with this bakery after a baker we were working with was unable to do our daughter's graduation cake last minute. Azteca did an incredible job following the instructions I had for the cake and it turned out incredible! It was a delicious cake that looked so incredible! My pictures don't do it justice but I did purchase the flowers and macarons. They were able to arrange them so nicely and my daughter/all our guests kept asking about the cake! Would recommend this bakery hands down!!

Streamwood location. OCT 2023 They did a beautiful job on my daughter's birthday cake ! The decorations were so beautiful the color was beautiful . It was marble cake with chocolate filling NOT tres leches. Highly reccomend!!

Custom cake: I was desperate to find a custom cake from a place that had strong reviews but could also take a short notice order as we experienced our Mother's passing the week before this planned celebration for my baby sister's surprise 40th birthday. I came across this bakery on Yelp as I was staying in Schaumburg. I spoke and texted pictures of inspiration of what I wanted for her cake design. This bakery did not have fresh flowers or macarons so I purchased and dropped them off. The cake decorator did an AMAZING and damn perfect job! It was absolutely gorgeous and the cake itself was so fluffy and light and not super sweet. Everyone was asking where I got the cake so they might get future cake orders from folks all the way from the city. The bakery had all sorts of bread and premade cake and so much more. We treated ourselves to tamales with our cake pick up!

Don't ever order your cakes here. after two time messing my order in the past I gave them another chance and usually they messed up my order again!!! i make sure to reinforce my request in writing this time I asked for the cake to have extra milk and the cake was so dry! secondly i paid extra for the design to be draw it and i received my cake with a piece of paper on the top! what can i said now since the event where i'm taking this cake is already waiting I mentioned this to the cashier and I know is not their fault but they didn't even apologize and they try to bragged me with $5 back. your cake maker definitely ruin the whole thing! I hope this review help to other people that want to order here

EAT PAN DULCE, LIVE HAPPY! I am always on the hunt for a good bakery. My definition of a good bakery: Items baked on site (for freshness, obviously), sweet or savory foods that are baked in an oven, reasonably priced treats that will leave you wanting more. Azteca meets my requirements and then some!! I have been to several Mexican bakeries over the years and I have only found one other place that truly deserves 5 stars from me and that place is on the West side of Chicago and too far for me to frequent so I'm especially excited to have found Azteca right in my backyard. Some of my favorite bakery items are not the prettiest things in the world and as much as I like cupcakes, donuts and cookies from other random places nearby, Azteca has just earned my business after one brief visit. I have been wanting to get to Azteca Bakery for several months and tonight, I made a quick stop in since I just happened to be passing by and wouldn't you know, they were open at 6:30 pm on a Sunday night. In fact, they are open until 9 pm every night of the week. I'm a fan of the hours! The location is perfect for them located right next to an Aldi, a taco joint and a Fiesta Market, I can get all my Mexican foodie needs met at one small strip mall in Streamwood. Who knew? The store itself is extremely CLEAN!! I mean, eat off the floor, clean! The display cases are free of fingerprints and dirt. Management/owners obviously take pride in their bakery. The staff is very friendly and not one single person is just standing around which I have seen in plenty of other places the like; Everyone is working, cleaning, putting fresh items out, you name it. These folks work hard here. I selected about 12 or 14 items and left there for just over 7 bucks...ummmm, are you sure about that? I gotta admit I was a little afraid that the stuff wasn't going to be that great because it was so cheap, but Dios Mio, you weren't kidding, this place is fantastic!! Yelptastic, to be exact. I picked up a few rolls for sandwiches (3 for $.99...can you beat that?) that I'm looking forward to eating my sandwich on for lunch tomorrow. I also selected several Polvorones and a chocolate cake slice that was calling my name. I nibbled on the Polvorones tonight after dinner and I must say Azteca, you have made this picky little lady a very happy one! Looking forward to returning for more treats soon. Maybe next time, I'll bring my hubby or sister along. Damn it, these places are the reason I'm a round little Mexican lady! ;) Adios!!!

I'm gonna sound like a real Benedict Arnold here, but imma try to be real with my feelings and just say it: I don't think white-folk bakeries hold a candle to that of Mexican (also Asian) bakeries. Sorry, white people. Step up yo game and stop serving me those dry-ass little cookies. Ain't nobody like those. Old people only buy them because their taste-buds are all dried up and they like to save the metal tins to put butterscotch candies and other knick-knack in. And that's just a fact. Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about. I filled up a tray and half chock full of pastries and puffs, cakes and cookies, doughnuts and more -- seriously had to have grabbed like 18 different things -- and while I was expecting our total to be something at least in the $20-range, probably verging on $30, the girl behind the counter announced that our total came out to a dainty $7.10. JawDropped. InsertCaramelAppleEmpanada. ClingToCounterAndBegMyPartnerToLeaveMeHereToDieHappy. FINALLY. A bakery with cutesy, gourmet items that I can afford. Sorry, white people and your $4 cupcakes. I mean, they're good, but far too rich for my blood. The pretzel rolls, the softest baked breads ever, sheet cakes, individual birthday cake slices, popsicles, multi-flavored churros, cookies, pastries, bacon bread, cheese dough, gelatin cakes, unicorn tears and everything in between. So many goodies. The selection was uncanny - even on a late Sunday evening when the store was arguably packed (a lot of the crowded-ness may have come from my incessant running back and forth with excitement over what to get), this place was stocked and still baking more fresh buns. The girls behind the counter were so sweet and only encouraged my ravaging their tres leches selection while my partner attempted to pry my face from up against the glass case. Normally when I do this I can hear people semi-audibly mouth the words 'pinche', 'gringa' and 'loca', but not here. Here, they are all about crazy, saccharin-starved, white girls. While everything I had here was majorly scarf-able (less one of my doughnuts that I forgot about in the back of my fridge until a week and a half after the fact) and sold for less than anything you'd find at even a Sara Lee outlet store. And if you're a coffee fan, do get the mocha tres leches. Ours only lasted for as long as it took to walk back to the car - then I pulled out my handy center-console-stored chopsticks and spork and dug right into that B. My only regret is forgetting about that doughnut in my fridge for so long and not getting a slice of the two other available flavors of tres leches. All the more reason for a three-peat visit.

I've started a great tradition of coming here every weekend and just letting my kids pick anything their hearts desire. We never leave with less than 2 paper bags full of conchas, churros, and other assorted pastries. With that said I don't think I've ever spent more than $20 here. Maaayybe $25. But point being, you get sooo much for your money at Azteca! And the quality of the pastries are on point, more so when you get there early. Specifically right when they're rolling the carts out from the back. It smells sooo good and everything is still hot. You can't leave with just 1 or 2 things! And don't forget the michoacana side! It's my go to spot for a mangonada, and occasionally an elote cup. That side isn't AS cheap but hey, it's not like I can readily make a mangonada for myself at home! Now that I've completely gushed about this on a Monday night, I'm trying to decide how I can fit in a quick stop before work tomorrow for some breakfast pastries! I love Azteca!

Definitely don't recommend buying cakes from this bakery , I got a cake on 12/9 and when I was cutting through the cake I noticed there was mold on it . A cake shouldn't have mold on it if it was "freshly made ". cake was also slimey
