Never mind the line outside the door around this holiday time once she got inside, it was a very…read moreefficient process. They also had nice signage outside the door so people knew while they were waiting in line to deal with the holiday menu. They have a really cool train zooming above you when you get inside so keep an eye out for that and signs everywhere and delicious pastries everywhere the food looks beautiful. The people working there are happy and helpful. I was able to get two chocolate cake, donuts, and two cinnamon sugar donuts for my holiday breakfast. Everybody else is picking up orders and then adding onto those orders once they got there. But they have plenty of tasty treats. Someone even got a slice of turtle pie and then end up buying the whole darn turtle pie.

As a quick update, the dark chocolate cocoa bombs will be available in the new year! Yay!read more

Preparing for my sister-in-laws wedding shower meant we needed to find the perfect centrepieces…read more Most people would opt for a beautiful flower arrangement but my mother-in-law and I wanted an edible centrepiece. Kristen created the most beautiful centrepieces I've ever seen. Most of the guests couldn't tell they were cupcakes until we made the announcement. She even made a cake for the soon to be bride and groom to practice on for the big day. We opted for an array of cupcake flavours: chocolate, red velvet, lemon, banana, and vanilla. All of the flavours were highly complimented by the guests. We even asked for her to use a different holder to go with our rustic theme. Kristin accepted the challenge and found the most perfect rustic vessel to use. I would highly recommend Kristin to anyone. I look forward to working with her in the future.

I want to give them a huge shout out for not price gauging and keeping costs low and baking enough for me to be able to swing by before work. Every year they pack it with love and care and every year I get "paczki points". A lot of things change and Forest view stays consistent. I am proud to have such a solid institution in my home neighborhood. Service is fast and the pazckis are delicious. See you next year!

Good doughnuts they held up their freshness even late in the day. Probably the best old fashioned…read morei have had. Even day old the 2nd one was still more moist than a fresh dunkin. staff was great , and exactly the set up you would expect at a bakery. The parking was limited but that is a small thing to consider.

I have always known about the high prices at this bakery. However, I do give in occasionally…read morebecause their quality has always been very high. This past weekend, I purchased six standard size cupcakes, three chocolate and three yellow. When I appeared shocked at the price of $25.00 for the 6 cupcakes the female owner stated, "but they're buttercream." I came home to try one of these massively expensive cupcakes only to find that there is virtually no sugar in either the white icing or the chocolate icing. All it tasted of was whipped butter. Terrible and highly disappointing. Time to get your act together and realize your bakery isn't located on Oak St. in the Gold Coast!

A great option of a pumpkin soufflé Bundt cake sample on the front counter! I got my coffee cake and saw their holiday hours too. It's a cozy clean shop and the female workers are seasoned veterans of this shop and we're on point with their service.

My wife and I went in for a large order of 10 pies (everything they had available) this Sunday,…read morewhich is the week of Christmas. As we walked in this place had a young boy and you girl working working the counter. Needless to say both were extremely inexperienced. Especially during the Christmas season and if they weren't they sure acted as if they were. I proceeded to order the remaining pies and when I asked if they could simply box 3 of the 10 pies up in a white box, the boy needed to seek "permission". When he came out he offered to charge extra. I replied "no problem, let's get them going". While he was in the middle of boxing them up another woman came in and ordered one of the pies. Rather than explain this to the young girl he stood there almost scared to say anything. We decided to watch this happen rather the interject since it was Christmas week. We honestly expected the staff member or boy to speak up and let the young girl know we had already ordered them. Well, he did not. And he then proceeded to tell us we were 2 pies short after waiting for 20 min with 4 customers within that time. We decided to just refuse the pies and thank him for the hospitality and left. Very disappointing and very disorganized. I absolutely recommend you avoid this bakery at all cost unless you want a single donut. Or until they decide to hire competent adult staff.

Basia understood my vision and taste immediately and executed my dream sweets table perfectly. We received endless compliments regarding the deliciousness of the sweets as well as the presentation.

This place has completely fallen apart when it comes to customer service…read more Start hiring people who actually know how to help customers, because whatever you have going on now is unacceptable. What an absolute waste of my time. There were three employees--two glued to the phone and one barely helping the few people in the store. Clearly, these employees have zero capability or training, because they can't even manage more than one customer at a time. Honestly, fire this staff and hire people who are actually capable of multitasking and doing their jobs. If not, reviews like this will keep coming. Shame on you. This used to be a great place to shop for desserts, and now it's a disappointment.
