I'm not Hispanic so I was a little nervous going in since I didn't know what is what but she made me feel very welcome. It's self service, which I didn't realize at first, but is nice - you take a tray and tongs and put what you want on the tray and they box it up for you. Nice mix of Mexican pastries and baked goods. My dinner hosts (who are Mexican) said the desserts were the best they've ever had! I would definitely go back if in the area again.

Looking forward to warmer weather so that I can grab an iced shakerato the next time I'm in Elgin.

Wow! Color me impressed, this place has Bobba, milk tea, ice cream, and of course, churros. Not…read morejust that, but they have a plethora of options to choose from and everything gets made fresh right in front of you while you wait. Decided to try the Sundae and and a Dulce Box (8 churros mixed and matched) both were exceptional, and having been my first time I didn't realize how absolutely massive these things were. 1 churro can easily be shared by 2 people, maybe even 3 of your not too much of a sweets person. The churros were prepared perfectly, crispy on the outside and silky smooth and warm on the inside. Yum. The staff was very pleasant, patients knowledgeable and eager to explain options. Overall, a very nice spot and a welcomed addition to the area. Will definitely be back.

NGL the carrot cake (cream cheese frosting - not overly sweet and not too dense which is what I prefer!) and double chocolate were perfection and I'm glad we got 2 of each. The salted caramel was also in my top 3 from the flavors we tried. DEFINITELY coming back here again to try other creations and flavors. Immediately followed all socials so I can get special updates. These went very quickly with our small family get together!! Haha we also tried a strawberry banana smoothie which was quite yummy! I highly recommend and always love supporting local small businesses.

The design was beautifully done and it tasted even better than it looked. We ended up having the vanilla cupcakes w/ raspberry lemon fruit filling (it was a girl!)

It's truly a work of art, a conversation piece & will blow your friends & family mind. We had over 120 adults & around 15 kids. Everyone found something. We opted no nuts/shellfish due to allergies.

Fear not, Sweets by Kash to the rescue!!! I called Lindsey up about 3.5 months out from our wedding date and explained everything. She did say that was not her specialty, but man she hit it out of the park! We were having a small wedding and wanted to have cheesecake as our "cake". We already had a sweets table and wanted to beef up the options for guests, as well as pay homage to our first date. Our first date was at the Cheesecake Factory and we thought it would be perfect for us. It was easy to set up a tasting. We chose to pick up the cheesecake from Lindsey and have a little date night at home and test it all out. The packaging was super cute and the decorations on top were beautiful. But the flavors, WOW! I think cheesecake is so underrated. It's rich and creamy and is such a great dessert. We devoured the tasting cheesecake in a few days LOL. Honestly, with how simple everything was to set up and get answers to our questions immediately, I knew we had someone good. But the flavors, MMMMMMMMM!!! We didn't even finish an entire piece and I knew Lindsey was the baker for us. We love to support local businesses as well, so in the end everything worked out. So we booked Sweets by Kash and had her deliver to our venue and set up the cheesecake for us. They were all so beautiful and we got so many compliments on the taste. We ordered chocolate chip cheesecake and Oreo, as well as a gluten free chocolate chip cheesecake. Our GF guests really appreciated being able to eat a dessert in its entirety and said it was outstanding. We opted to save the top so we could enjoy that deliciousness all weekend, but someone walked away with it sadly. I will absolutely placing an order so we can celebrate our wedding anniversary with our special cheesecake (and no, I will not be waiting an entire year, because that cheesecake is too dang good to wait!). Thank you Lindsey for being amazing to work with and I don't have the professional photos back yet, but if you zoom in on this one, you can see the lovely set up in the background.

I got a box of assorted pastries to bring home and each one was incredible. My kids didn't like any of them... but ambrosia won me over. This is a refined place. The flavors are classic and textures are notable. Rich dark chocolate, real strawberry cream, flaky and intentionally packed with texture. No candy flavors or artificial stuff. Each item seemed like it was expertly crafted from a 150 year old recipe. This is a trek for me, and I'd happily make a morning trip to come here again.

I love that it is light, rich, but not overly sweet. I am a huge fan of chocolate mousse in cake and they have perfected it. And to top it off with the chocolate ganache... YUM! I told my husband it's probably the best birthday cake I've had and I hope he remembers that for next year. We also picked up some almond croissants and chocolate croissants and both were delish... to me they were a bit on the smaller side though. The cafe is really cute and clean with a sitting area. We came an hour before closing, so options were limited but they do have a big display case and would love to go back and check out what else they have to offer. I am a fan of flourless cake- so hoping to get to try a slice the next visit.
