Aleppo Sweets is so much more than a place to eat - it is a beautifully decorated, serene retreat…read morethat feels made for lingering. It is the kind of place where you can meet friends, share a pot of tea, break bread & let the world slow down for a while. We started with a pot of black tea with fresh mint because, as they say, Syrians are ALL about TEA! It was perfectly balanced, not too strong, wonderfully refreshing, with just the right hint of fresh mint. A lovely way to ease into our meal. I ordered the hummus, an authentic Syrian version from the Akhtarini home. Silky pureed chickpeas blended with tahini, garlic, lemon & olive oil, served with warm Syrian bread. Simple, traditional & absolutely delicious. I also had the pepper & lamb fatayer, a popular Syrian street food, often eaten on the go, wrapped in paper. The softly baked bread was tender & flavorful, with small pieces of pepper & lamb seasoned with spices & olive oil. I loved the little "boat" shape & the spicy lamb spice topping. Hubby ordered the chicken shawarma wrap. A classic done right: flavorful marinated chicken, banana peppers, pickles & garlicky sauce wrapped in bread & grilled under a flatiron. He was very happy with his choice! What I loved the whole experience of Aleppo Sweets! The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, welcoming feel & food that feels deeply connected to Syrian tradition & hospitality. Come hungry, stay awhile, order the tea & break bread with someone you love. Highly recommend. NOM NOM NOM #YUM

I'm absolutely in love with Aleppo Sweets. It's beautifully decorated and everything just looks…read morepicture perfect. It's super clean. The service is phenomenal. The ladies who are working when I visited last were just so lovely and even gave me some food to take home for free because I mentioned that I had wanted to try it and was going to come next time to do so. Totally unexpected and such a kind gesture and the food was amazing. Everything I ordered was delicious from the ginger, mint and cardamom tea pot to the traditional cheese boats. The different types of baklava were delicious and they use a lot of pistachios which I am a big fan of. I really enjoyed the lentil soup, it had good flavor and my friend really liked her hummus. This is such a great spot and I definitely need to get myself here more. It does only have street parking, but we were able to find parking in the area pretty easily without having to walk too far. They do close fairly early at 8 PM so make sure you get there with plenty of time. You do bus your own table, so that's just a reminder for folks to not leave your items on the table. Highly recommend!

Madrid European Bakery is an excellent spot in Barrington for wonderful European cakes and…read morepastries. Everything in their display case looked enticing, and staff was friendly and patient as we asked what the individual pastries were, as many had delectable creams or fillings of various flavors. They also serve up ice cream, cookies, and coffee/caffeinated drinks. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, which gives off wonderful local cafe vibes. The parking lot is a bit tricky as there's only a one lane entry/exit, so could result in accidents if you and other drivers aren't careful in paying attention. We tried a Santiago orange-chocolate cake slice, an almond croissant, a chocolate chip cookie, and a selection of their 5 mini pastries. These baked treats (5/5) were all excellent in terms of quality, with delicious and satisfying flavors which we really liked. They use fresh and high quality ingredients, so while prices aren't cheap, they are reasonably in line for the quality of baked goods you're purchasing. We also ordered a cappuccino (4/5) which was beautifully presented, but wasn't our favorite among area coffee shops, but still an excellent accompaniment to enjoy their baked goods. We'll definitely be back and would recommend Madrid European Bakery and Patisserie to others. Their list of ice cream flavors looked unique and intriguing, so that only creates a dilemma of which sweet treats you choose to indulge yourself in when visiting.

The photo I took doesn't even come close to capturing how rich and indulgent it truly is. What really stood out, though, was the cake: a heavenly mix of crème brûlée and chocolate mousse that's unlike anything I've found elsewhere. Each bite was smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Euro Madrid is definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for something sweet and unique.

I warmed them up at home and when I took a bite into the buttery flaky crust, I was hooked. These were so delicious I instantly regretted not getting more things to try. I also had a hot chai with homemade vanilla syrup which was fragrant, sweet, and spicy at the same time - it was so good. The person behind the counter let me know that their menu changes weekly based on the what ingredients are in season and available. Another customer told me that everything is good and that I couldn't go wrong with whatever I selected. The items they sell are on the pricy side but absolutely worth it because of the quality ingredients they use in their baked goods. One bite and you can taste the difference. I'm looking forward to returning.

I like how most of their sweets have a nice crunch to it, but it's still moiste on the inside. I got a strawberry strudel today with fresh strawberries, soft-flaky center and what tasted like buttercream. I would highly recommend their pastry, but the coffee did fall flat to me. I've only had it once and it didn't do anything for me. We have so many good coffee shops in the neighborhood and never thought of coming back here for coffee. I will try their coffee again since it's been a while. The store is rather small, but it isn't intended on a dine in experience. I do like that you can see the chef in the back along with his partner in the front of the store. They are very nice people and super friendly.
