Cool little bakery in Grayslake that has something for all, people as well as dogs. It has lots of…read moreinteresting homemade baked goods. 393 gets its name because it's located at this address on Center Street. A little place that may not look like much, but it has more than expected. Pick up things for any holiday or any occasion. Baked goods are made fresh. It has a kind of limited amount because this is a small bakery and everything will be homemade. The typical treats include cookies among other things. Also has treats for dogs. Last time there was a bar filled with baked dog treats. Also you can get other kinds of items such as clothing and ornaments if looking for something decorative. The stuff in here is all local. Got to get here if looking for a local bakery. It's not just baked goods, but also has clothing and more. There's lots of variety including dog treats.

As I came in, there was a class of making sweets with a ton of little kids making a fun mess. Congrats to that staff for having the patience and demeanor to fill kids up with sugary products! As for the selection... Cake Pops - awesomely decorated and perfectly bite sized Toffee - I never liked it growing up, but can honestly say that I love it now! What a great selection of different flavored toffees and samples to make an informed choice. Chocolates - an unbelievable selection of every shape and size and flavor! I'm a fan and will be back.

I had a big vision for my birthday cake, since I have been looking forward to this birthday theme…read morefor years. And all I can say is - THEY DID IT. (Detailed review below. TL;DR: Absolutely will be back. Quick, easy, and transparent communication about vision, price, and all in between.) Cake Details: 9-inch, heart-shaped, marble cake with fresh strawberries, $94 INITIAL COMMUNICATION It was literally 2 minutes before closing time when I called them for the first time (my planning mishap). However, someone picked up and offered immediate, friendly assistance. I figured ordering a custom cake takes more than just 2 minutes, so I offered to call back in the morning, but she was extremely eager and motivated to help me right then and there. We discussed the general details (size, theme, flavors, shape, etc.) over the phone, and I was then provided with a phone number to text additional information and reference pictures. CUSTOMIZATION I sent 3 cake pictures as references to the phone number, and explained which elements I want from each cake. Also, I wanted a heart-shaped cake instead of a round one. I was very picky, I admit, but the team was incredibly accommodating and happy to fulfill ALL my wishes - big and small. I also sent 3 more pictures of characters I wanted to add, and yet again, they accommodated. TRANSPARENCY The communication was so easy and clear. I inquired about the price at our first meeting, and was told that all added decorations are included. (The price would have only changed if I had added another tier, changed the size, or made any other dramatic changes.) This was amazing. I was able to tell them all my detailed wishes, and I never once feared about the final price, since their communication was so clear. OVERALL This is a great business to support and order from. I was very picky in what I wanted for my cake, and they were able to match it perfectly. All my guests loved the cake - looks and taste. And it tasted as good the following days. Added Note: One of our guests is gluten-free, and I was prepared to provide a gluten-free dessert for them; however, the bakery being gluten-free is just another great bonus, and my gluten-free friends will travel to this bakery in the future. Amazing!

My family and I have always used LaLuz Bakery for our birthday cakes and have never had an issue…read morebefore. That's why we didn't hesitate to order a special two-tier TikTok-themed cake for my niece's birthday on Saturday. Unfortunately, this time was very different. After picking up the cake and heading to the party, we discovered that the cake had completely caved in. The top tier slid off the bottom tier before we even opened the box. I took pictures immediately and contacted the bakery right away. I didn't ask for a refund--I simply asked if there was anything they could do to make it right. Instead, I was told that because the cake had left the store, there was nothing they could do. I even offered to return the damaged cake. Still, the manager on duty, Mario, said he couldn't help and would pass it on to his supervisor. We left the cake with them and walked out empty-handed--no replacement, no apology, no effort to resolve the issue. We ended up going to Sam's club buying two cakes($50 total with tax), and creatively combining them to save the party. Honestly, those cakes turned out better than what we originally purchased for $150.00 from La Luz This experience was really disappointing, especially considering the loyalty and money we've given LaLuz over the years. I'm leaving this review to let others know that if something goes wrong, you may not receive the customer service you'd expect--or deserve. Needless to say, we will be taking our business elsewhere.
