I love that the breads aren't too sweet and never taste eggy or greasy. I'm not sure what they do different from other ones in the area but there isn't panderia at this level of quality south of 47th street! Service is prompt and the place is always clean.

I really enjoyed the peanut butter cookie and the triangular pastry that was filled with Bavarian cream. Those were both my favorites. I thought the strawberry sugar cookie did not have a ton of flavor. Everything is very reasonable in there. I got four items for under five dollars. I want to try the jalapeño cheese bread next.

She offered great suggestions. Ended up with a sour cream donut, assorted russkie and a lemon danish. The danish was sweet and sour goodness.

I went into this paczki situation thinking, "Okay, cute, festive, probably good." What I was NOT…read moreprepared for... was emotional damage. Because this Samoa-flavored paczki didn't just meet expectations it absolutely body slammed them. First of all, shoutout to my amazing husband, who casually stopped and brought this home like it was just a normal Thursday and not a life-altering act of love. Sir. You didn't bring me a paczki. You brought me trust issues with every other dessert. Imagine the love child of a Samoa Girl Scout cookie and a cloud. The caramel? Aggressive in the best possible way. The coconut? Perfectly toasted like it knew it had something to prove. The chocolate? Just enough to remind you that life can still surprise you in beautiful ways. And the dough itself? So soft it felt illegal. I took one bite and immediately understood why people line up in the cold for paczki like it's a survival situation. This wasn't a donut. This was an experience. A personality trait. A reminder that I married the right man. 10/10. Would ruin my diet, my dignity, and my emotional stability for another one.

I came for the donuts but discovered cakes, cupcakes, coffee cakes, sweet rolls, danishes, sandwiches, soups, coffee, lattes, and more--all inside a gas station.

Insider tip: If you love Paczki, the Tinley location carries them year-round, while the main bakery offers them seasonally around Fat Tuesday. I'll definitely be back for the donuts and Paczki!

Has lots to choose from. They have more of a Mexican influence but they can make many types of pastries. Came here in the morning and got stuff that was freshly baked. It's kind of a small place that has a counter. They take a lot of custom orders. A popular place around here to get cakes. Popular whether for things like birthdays or weddings, they'll make it for you. A lot of amazing examples. They also have a lot simpler items like breads and cookies you can just pop in and get. It's about $6 to get a big loaf that's freshly baked. The pastries include cannoli and other classics as well as classic Mexican ones like panaderia and that kind of stuff. Great stuff especially when it's fresh. It's closed Sundays. This is among the several bakeries on Western.

I tried to purchase a refund, but the owner refused to issue a refund. I didn't want to ask to place another order because the owner was sweeping the floor when I came into the restaurant and taking a phone call with gloves on while I was looking around the store at the beautiful undercooked bakery pastries a customer walked in while she was on the phone and she served the customer after the call in dirty gloves. I will never go to this place again this is not the way to run a business if help is needed hire help. I would give no stars if I can. The only excuse she tried to use was the bread dough comes only one time in the morning which doesn't explain why I was given old pastries when I placed my order in advance.

Blanca indicated that she wouldn't be able to do the complicated lace design on buttercream, but I appreciated that they took my example and ran with it. At our cake testing, I was a little disappointed in the number of selections, but ultimately we probably would have picked the same thing. The cake was tasty at our wedding. We also tried some cannolis from there, which were good. Blanca was professional to deal with. I would recommend this bakery.
