Nice coffee shop with delicious cookies. I like the peanut butter. Hot coffee comes in a ceramic mug, which is nice, ceramic plates for the cookies. Nice young man at the cash register who did NOT say "have a nice rest of your day" making my visit perfect. read more

Absolutely the best cinnamon roll and sugar cookie in town. It's my favorite spot to get a treat. I love the seasonal, rotating decor inside, the prices are great, and the employees are always really nice. read more

The muffins were fabulous. I had forgotten what bakery an account recommended and when I brought these in, they said I'd found the best place in town. read more

Excellent bakery! I love their variety of cookies and muffins! The options change weekly, but the always constant "Susan's Sugar Cookies" are excellent so if you don't see something else you like, get one of those! They offer three different excellent quiches each day too, one with a hash brown crust! It's a cool, comfortable place with a fun parks theme! Everyone who works there is fun and the owner is great too! L read more

Cinnamon Roll: Sweetness of the frosting balances out the roll well. 8/10 Glazed Scone: Meh. Too thick for my liking. A little too dry, even for a scone. 4/10 Hazelnut Chocolate Muffin: Dry. 4/10 Chocolate Chip Cookie: You could type in "chocolate chip cookie" into Google, mindlessly click on the first recipe result you see, make them, and they would be better than these. 2/10 Double Chocolate Cookie: Cookie flavor was nice and chocolately. Frosting was a little too sweet for my liking. 6/10 Sugar Cookie: Frosting was, again, a little too sweet but synergized nicely with the cookie. 8/10 read more

For what it is, this bakery does a good job. It looks like a cute place to indulge in sweets with a friend. The prices are reasonable. I paid about $6 for two cookies and a muffin. As for quality, they're fine. I would say that they're about the level of what you'd expect for a run of the mill coffee shop. Unless you're particularly picky, they will do for a sweets craving. Not quite up to an OMG I will drive out of my way to get this level, but they're tasty enough. Worth a stop if you happen to be in the area and don't just want to get a pack of cookies from a grocery store. read more

This cute Blakey is pumping out so yummy cookies! I believe they rotate the selection but my fav was cherry thumbprint looking cookie. Our selection was all very good though. Very open space to get a cookie, cup of Joe, and relax. read more

The cookies are amazing! I frequently bring in cookies for my team at work and everyone loves them.

Cute little bakery with mismatched tables and chairs . It feels comfortable like being at Grandma's house. My favorites are the coffee, cookies, and quiche. Very friendly and welcoming employees. Highly recommend the Ivy Lane bakery read more

Ivy Lane bakery was so cute! When you walk in, it looks like you are walking into grandma's kitchen. The chairs are miss matched and they have cute little plate ware. I was in a fall mood, so I went in for a cup of coffee and a seasonal pastry. The attendant behind the counter was super nice. She was attentive and helped me immediately. I ordered the pumpkin muffin. It was very good! Super moist and flavorful. The coffee was small for what a paid and average. It is self serve and was more the quality you get offered for free when in the waiting room somewere. This place is definitely more about the baked goods than the coffee, but it is still very cozy inside. It was very clean, which is good. I would absolutely come again. I would probably get another seasonal dessert, perhaps in summer? read more

I'm sitting inside Ivy Lane, which is pleasantly cool on a hot day and adorably decorated, using their free wifi, enjoying a delicious sugar cookie (this cookie with frosting and large sugar crystals on top melted in my mouth) and buckeye cookie and a refreshing vanilla almond milk iced coffee as some good music plays overhead. The people working here are very pleasant and patient, and the service was extremely quick. Everything is very reasonably priced too. I would highly recommend that anyone who loves cookies stops by Ivy Lane Bakery to get some cookies and coffee. As a cookie baker myself, my standards are high, and Ivy Lane completely met my standards. read more

I haven't written a review on Yelp in ages, so it says something extra that I felt absolutely compelled to do so for Ivy Lane. Here's the deal. What you do is, you go to Ivy Lane Bakery. You buy two things, you buy yourself a chocolate chip cookie, and one of their classic sugar cookies. You then eat those two cookies (where this happens is totally up to you). You then wallow in what isn't *quite* nostalgia for the cookies you had growing up, because, let's face it, those were unique, nothing's going to quite match them. No, instead you get a feeling of what *everyone's* childhood cookie memories were. These two cookies are the quintessential childhood cookie. They're the model that all other cookies are derived from, and they are, quite honestly, a one to two minute moment of "everything's going to be OK". They're simply perfect. read more

I bought a cinnamon roll and it is absolutely amazing! Different from the ones you normally get at a bakery. Hard to describe, you'll just have to try it for yourself! My daughter had the almond scones. She said it was one of the best she's ever had. One of the workers is on the spectrum or handicapped in some way. While sitting at the table eating our bakery, we overheard the employees talk and joke around with each other. It warmed my heart to listen to the employees have such a good time and be so kind to each other. Their tips get donated to a good cause. They're not pretending to be nice just to get a tip. I am so glad we stopped here and will definitely be coming back while traveling through Bloomington. read more

I so wanted an iced sugar cookie for Valentine's Day. Stumbled upon Ivy Lane Bakery and, yes!!! just what I was after. Delicious

I have been here a few times in the past and went specifically for the puppy chow cookies to ship to my son at college. I walked out with those, a cinnamon roll and a lemon scone. ALL delicious and so fresh. Great flavors (the lemon was perfection). The staff were very helpful and super nice. I can't wait to go back and try other things! read more

Stopped in for a sweet treat and hit the jackpot with their iced sugar cookies. Delicious!

Stopped here by chance and tried their cookies. Wow - delicious!! Definitely will be back. My favorite was the raspberry thumbprint cookie.

Extremely cute bakery on N. Main. This was my first visit to Bloomington, and I was happily surprised by the local bakery find. Coming from a larger city it's nice to get the home town feel and kindness from the staff. Upon entering the staff could tell that I had never been to the bakery before and explained the entire rundown for me. Few s elections to choose from; however, what they do have is very delicious. I'm not sure the type of muffin I had, I believe they called it a jungle. It was full of flavor, and was heaven on a dish. I also tried their local coffee brew, which was pair with a dash of vanilla. The decor seems to be a collection of chairs and china from all over. Miss match plates, cups and silverware, which adds to the small town feel. The bakery is definitely worth the stop! Free high speed WIFI! read more

Excellent new local bakery! In the old Sugar Mama space (they consolidated to their Uptown Normal location, fyi) next to Coffee Hound, this is a cozy family-run place with really good baked goods. On a Farmers' Market Saturday they had 2-3 scone varieties, 5 varieties of muffins, and a whole bunch of cookie options, including a gluten free chocolate chip. The owner told me they will have gluten free option on Fridays and Saturdays. They also have coffee and tea, but I didn't try either. This would be a fantastic place for a children's tea party if they would rent the space (not sure if they would, didn't think to ask at the time). read more

Ivy Lane Bakery - Saturday selection of scones, muffins, and cookies. A couple of gluten free options as well! *looked much better in person, bad photo - Bakeries Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

One time customer and will not be going back. I'm not impressed with 'used' mugs and silverware. In these times, I don't think you should be using that stuff even though you may think it is cute and quaint. I got some muffins which I thought were overpriced but they looked good. Seriously, these were the worst muffins I've even had in my life. Premade from the grocery store would have been better. They had no taste and seemed like they were made from bisquick that wasn't cooked all the way. I hardly ever throw something like this away but these muffins went in the garbage. I applaud someone trying to hold up a business in downtown but the quality needs to be there or no one will be coming back. read more

Strong iced coffee. Great ambiance, they have a Blo/No history book you can flip through while you wait about 3-5 min on your items. Prices are typical for a coffee shop. Quiche is really good, ordered a full one for my nieces birthday and it was a hit. Raspberry Scones are the best. read more

Drove 44 miles to visit this cute cafe... I have to admit, I have a thing for cute cafes. And this one checks all the boxes. It has that vintage, farmhouse charm. All the furniture are perfectly mismatched and brought so much character... and the kind gentleman who helped us was very very warm and welcoming. We tried the iced coffee and cinnamon crumb coffee cake. I was really impressed with all my goodies. The whole experience was pretty good. read more

It was alright. Virtually no seating so if it's busy you'll be stuck standing. Got a latte and it was not a latte. A lot of fake sugary syrup pooled at the bottom that you had to manually mix up. Not good. I am overall not impressed and won't return. read more

Service is very pleasant, atmosphere is very welcoming, scones and brownies are delicious and ham&cheese quiche that I had for breakfast was delicious. . Overall, a great example of how an awesome bakery should be! read more

I am not a paid endorser. As a local I was drawn to this gem for the famous frosted sugar cookies. I go back now for the cinnamon rolls. They are hands down the best I have ever eaten. The icing is NOT cream cheese based. The icing they put on these rolls tastes like the icing Grandma used to make from scratch. Have sampled many of the wonderful cookies and treats. Ivy Lane is a must visit, and will not disappoint. read more

Stopped in with our kids. Everything was delicious! Favorites were the raspberry scone and sugar cookies!

Came here for a pre-dinner snack because as an adult you decide when you eat sugary treats :) happened upon it after getting coffee down the road. Upon walking in the decor is so unique and interesting, very cool! The gentleman working was VERY kind. We tried the homemade snickers and brown sugar pecan scone. SO. FREAKING. DELICIOUS. The snickers was so soft and smooth, I don't think I could ever eat a traditional snickers again following that. The scone was so perfect, he warmed it up for us and it was to die for. Definitely coming back very soon and often! Tried to buy a shirt as well but unfortunately they were out of large, just more reason to come back ;) read more

Excellent! Their cookies are delicious and I cannot stop thinking about their Cinnamon rolls. Very affordable and delicious!

Ambience is so lovely! Got a wheat bagel with the veggie cream cheese spread! It was delicious and filling! I'd come back for just that cream cheese...now I have to try all of their cream cheeses....and of course their other sweet treats! Certainly worth stopping by if you're downtown and want a lil somethin' somethin' to hold you over! read more

Just moved into town and passed by here and I love it! We got the White Chocolate Macadamia cookie and cherry turnover and they were both great! The staff was super nice when I asked what their recommendations were and they were right and I can't wait to go back. read more

Stopped by to give it a try. Yelp says they're open until 5:00. Got there at 12:30 and they were closed.

My husband and I are frequent visitors of Ivy Lane Bakery, so we both agreed that we needed Ivy Lane to provide our wedding desserts. We had cookies, brownies, and mini muffins for our event. Everything was amazing!! The best part was that they were able to create a sangria cookie for our wedding day per special request. It was the best! Another note, we ordered the same amount of mini cupcakes from a different bakery and mini muffins from Ivy Lane and our guests devoured the muffins and left us a couple dozen cupcakes. Our advice, skip the cupcakes and order the muffins! read more
