I was on a quest for something sweet again. The exterior looked inviting and I was ready to give this place a try. My significant other and I walked inside. There was a sign that stated PLEASE Take A Number. Our Number was H38. I browsed around to see what was offered. We were called on and then we went to the counter to order. I put our Number in the Old tickets Here! bucket. In the FROM THE COOLER section, Assorted Cake Slices Chocolate Covered were $4.25. I got one of those. We sat down at a table for a moment to relax. That was a nice feature they had. After I got home, I tried it out. The first bite was okay. It seemed dry to me. After the second bite, I was bored. It lacked flavor. I wasn't impressed. The service was decent. I didn't have an issue with it. Overall, I had an alright experience here. I wouldn't be in a rush to go again. Date of visit: 08/13/25 read more

I started going to this place with my dad when I was a kid (waaay too long ago). It was a special treat 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. read more

Donuts are a bit heavy for me, and they over priced. I rather go to the other Calumet Bakery on Torrence. They both have the same name, but I was told by a young lady that works there, that are not the same bakery . read more

The customer service from Manager Amy absolutely horrible. She wouldn't listen to anything I had to say as the customer. I understand that she couldn't give me what I asked for a fresh cake because the cake I ordered had been sitting there for 5 days, but it was they way Amy talked to me her tone and her words she talked to me as if I was her child so disrespectful. If her management skills reflects the thoughts and the mindset of the owner they are in trouble. read more

Service started with the consultant - Karyme. She was patient, insightful and most accommodating as she worked with us to finalize the cake chosen. I called the day before and was assured things were going smoothly. On the day of, the deliverer was on time and the cake looked great. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the cake. This was a great aspect of celebrating our wedding anniversary. Thanks you, thank you, thank you. read more

I just guess I put the horse behind the cart on this one! I should have read the reviews first. I bought 2 cakes from them and both had more icing than cake. I feel cheated and don't think they will change there receipe because of my complaint. If you want to pay for one third cake and two thirds icing. This is the place for you or just get icing from the grocer and eat it. read more

The best Atomic Cake around available in various sizes!! Yum!! We get it every year for my mom's birthday- must order in advance!!

Hard to pass up a bakery when you are in the hunt for a sweet, and Calumet Bakery is a very nice option out in Lansing. We dropped in while in the neighborhood and got a few of their chocolate cake donuts - 5 star stuff. Years ago I used to work down on State Road in Calumet City near the Indiana border and every once in awhile we'd get a tray of these beauties to share with the staff ... they were always winners and are still just as good. Now so I don't just mention the chocolate cake donuts, this bakery also serves all the usuals you would look for in a bakery - cakes ... especially decorated birthday and celebration cakes, coffee cakes, a large assortment of donuts, and cookies. This is a full service bakery that can supply anything you need. In addition they have two or three little tables if you want to get something and eat it right there ... nice touch. Good place ... read more

Not sure what's happened at this long standing business. Once it was a well-run family business that provided excellent products and customer service. Not now!! They only allow prepayment to be made online so if your order is wrong, there's nothing you can really do when you pick it up. They completely messed up an order for a birthday cake for my 79 year old sister and refused to do anything about it!! I know that others have had the same experience with rude staff that realize there has been an error. They obviously are aware of the importance of an order for a cake for a special occasion , but still won't do anything to make things better. It's heartbreaking to see this happen at such a one time warm family business read more

This place is amazing!! From customer service to delectable pastries they are making dreams come true one bite at a time. So I recently celebrated a birthday and too my surprise my sister surprised me with a beautiful cake from my favorite bakery. I've been coming here for years and recently I tried a different bakery in my neighborhood and it could not measure up to Calumet Bakeries culinary expertise. Awesomeness on a plate! read more

I love that Calumet Bakery WILL NOT take crap from unruly, loud morons who believe they're entitled to scream and holler and pout at staff as patient customers act respectfully. Newsflash! Calumet Bakery doesn't need your business. Adios! My sister loved their blueberry cheesecake and I bought one and another apricot for this her 3 rd year memorial service at church. Great coffee cakes! The donuts I noticed were $18 a dozen for basic donuts? I could think of two places with better donuts, one as expensive but top of the line. Calumet Bakery is an institution. Keep up the good work! read more

Great bakery, their donuts are always fresh and super moist. They do carry a variety of other decadent items including various desserts and cakes. One of the best bakeries to visit if you're working or traveling around Calumet city and Lansing area. read more

The bakery items are so good but the customer service is bad. 14 people waiting in the lobby and no employees assisting. They would all walk out the back door look at us and walk away. Not one person acknowledged anyone or said they would be out to assist soon. We waited 14 minutes until I finally asked if anyone was working the counter. I understand places are short staffed but there were at least 6 people working. read more

Simply Delicious will be back for a bigger cake because it was to small and I couldn't share it like to

First off--Calumet Bakery is booked and busy, honey. Was, is, and will always be. I've always heard about them but haven't gotten a chance to check them out until recently when trying to figure out where I should order my mother's 60th birthday cake. Now the ordering experience was a bit interesting but the results were amazing! I pre-ordered via email about a week prior to her birthday with the intention of stopping in during the week to place my deposit. When I got there, they didn't have my order and couldn't locate the email thread I had going with them although I showed them on my phone. They were able to sit down with me to and place my order. To be honest, yes they are busy but this is an area of theirs that clearly needs to be worked on especially when everyone isn't able to place pre orders in person. Despite that small dilemma, the pick up process was smooth and the yellow cake with their rich buttercream frosting was delightful. My mother was happy celebrant. read more

Their customer service is terrible!!! I called to order a birthday cake and was told to go online and make a deposit first. I go online and make a deposit but you can't place an order online. So I call back to place the order after several attempts someone finally answered the phone but wouldn't allow me to place order by phone. Since I gave a deposit online I must place the order online. She acknowledged there isn't an order from online but since I started a Q/A form online I must continue on that form and she had more questions for me that she would send those online. I asked since I've already paid my deposit and we are finally connected can we just complete the order. She said no, that's not how it works. I probably would have continued online but her attitude was so jacked up ...I requested a refund. Too many good bakeries in the area to accept bad customer service read more
