My cousin knows the owner so our family was fortunate to host a baby shower here on a Sunday, when…read morethey are closed. They made the cookies, macaroons, both cakes that were served and mini pumpkin pies that were given as gifts for the guests. They also opened to enable us to buy goodies and I fell in love with the brown butter bourbon cookies!! They were 3 for $5 and I would have bought the 3 bags that were in the case, but a woman in front of me bought 2 bags so I was left with one. They have mini pies for $5 and while it was hard to decide (assorted cheesecakes, key lime pie, sweet potato pie, etc.); I bought a mini peach cobbler for hubby. They are the perfect serving size and he loved it! Both of the cakes they had at the shower (a chocolate and a yellow rainbow) were moist and delicious; the only downside is that we live so far away! But if we're ever in this area we will remember Park's Pastries for sure.

Cute bakery in downtown Homewood. Delicious treats. We tried both the peach cobbler and three of…read moretheir cookies. Pricing is on a digital screen above the front counter but you can't see it when coming in the side door. This is what I remember.. Cookies 3 for $5 Cupcakes $3 Mini loaf cakes $5 Mini cheesecake and cobblers $7 Macaroons 3 for $7 Coffee $1 Customer service wasn't the best so I took away a star. We weren't greeted when we entered and had to speak first. She didn't really say anything, give any suggestions or interact at all. For first time customers that kind of hindered the experience but thank goodness the treats did not disappoint.

The cakes & cupcakes have such an amazing & UNIQUE flavor that can't be found anywhere else. In my time I've tried many many different types of cakes & pastries from other establishments both big & small. Yet, NOTHING compares to the cakes & pastries prepared by this super talented woman.  It's 200% worth it to order. This womans product deserves to be placed in a museum or on a pedestal to be shown to millions. I'll be contacting Melanated sweets for any of my birthdays or events.

I wanted a Mickey and Minnie Mouse cake for my daughter. Did Melanated Sweets deliver? YES, she…read moredid. The appointment was personable and professional. The owner approaches her creative process with enthusiasm and excitement. She asked very thorough questions because she wanted to make sure we received exactly what we ordered. She alerted us in enough time when there was a delay with the cake being ready. The cake was a yellow cake with pink buttercream frosting and chocolate ganache drizzle. My daughter was so happy with the finished product. Would I order again? YES! Go ahead and place an order with Melanated Sweets. You won't be disappointed.

I started going to this place with my dad when I was a kid (waaay too long ago). It was a special…read moretreat to get doughnuts on the weekend. They also did my wedding cake almost 20 years ago. I stopped in yesterday for something sweet, and was reminded just how good this bakery is. Its always clean, friendly despite constantly being busy, and the doughnuts are arguably amongst the top 3 in the county. The cakes are delightful and reasonably priced. This place is an example of a local business that's thrived across generations because it just does it right. Cheers.

I have not been a fan of super stores, as they tend to either get grocery right and everything else…read morewrong, or vice versa. Walmart and Target are two examples of that. Now that I live outside of Chicago proper, I no longer have access to some of the specialty markets and grocery stores I used to frequent. Meijer tends to meet my needs when it comes to grocery, home products, casual clothing, personal care products, and gardening. Two things that stand out the most was their gardening products. I had started gardening, so seeds, plant food, gardening soil, and other gardening items were reasonably priced. Being a pescatarian, there vegetables worked for me. But now that I grow my own, the gardening catalog worked perfectly for me. As to grocery, although there has been spike in grocery prices, they were not as high as I noted at other grocery stores. It helps that I take advantage of coupons, specials, and price reductions thanks to participating in their perks program. This store serves four immediate suburbs, so it tends to get busy on weekends, for sure. I go during the middle of the day when I work from home through the week. I have yet to go and not find what I needed. And because I am a very picky shopper, primarily from the perimeter of the grocery store, I have not been disappointed in what they have.

This review is for the bakery only. I stopped into the bakery to order a cake. I had previously…read moretried to order online, but I was having a difficult time doing that. So I asked the gal at the bakery counter if I could place an order and she looked at me and said 'I don't know if you want to, I guess' . I said 'oh I said if you're busy, I'll come back' . I asked how much time she needed for me to come back and she said I'm the only one here. When I mentioned, I tried to order online. She said I don't know why you're having a problem. We're getting online orders. She was not willing to help me. It was one of the worst experiences I've had at Meijer and Meijer is my favorite store. I just said that I will go to Strack and Van Til to place my order and she said 'fine go do that'. For reference this was Sunday 5:20 PM, June 28.
