Ordered a French Silk pie from Kay N Jo's for Christmas, and it was absolutely delicious--creamy, rich, and perfectly made. While picking up the pie, we couldn't resist trying a lemon bar, and it didn't disappoint--equally delicious with just the right balance of tart and sweet. This is a great little local bakery that delivers on quality and flavor. Highly recommended for anyone looking for exceptional baked goods! read more

Came here for a get together with my aunt, cousin and sister. A great little spot for sandwiches and delicious homemade desserts. The owner was super friendly and accommodating. We'll be making it our regular place as it is centrally located for us. read more

Really unique donuts here! Bomb diggity. The sandwiches are decent, but I'll have to try the steak sandwich next time.

A store of sweets with appropriately sweet staff! I loved their chocolate covered strawberries around Valentine's day, very juicy with the right amount of crunch to the chocolate. read more

The owners are very friendly and the food is made from scratch and very good A value for the price Well worth it ! give them a try read more

The best place for sandwiches and lunch. They also made our wedding cake! Highly recommended. :)

Have purchased several cakes from them and they are always beautiful and taste amazing! My go to bakery!

Fantastic prices for fresh, delicious sandwiches, salads, breakfast and bakery items. The chicken bruschetta panini was so flavorful and the goat cheese on top was a perfect touch. We also got chocolate turtles, chocolate shortbread cookies, and smaller pastries. Everything was delicious! I'd highly recommend stopping here :) read more

To put things in perspective, we're from Tampa. Many more choices there so I realize it's all relative. However, just know that the donuts are baked, not fried. The coffee is like Folgers or something. However! There was a steady in and out of folks picking up lunch. We may come back and try. I would definitely say all homemade goods which I completely respect. And I assume the lady helping us was either Kay or Jo and she was really nice and helpful. read more

This place is awesome they have really good food and awesome customer service can't go wrong going to Kay N Jo's

It's such a nice place. People are nice and the sweets are so worth it. Do not leave Marengo without visiting this place.

Great sandwiches, homemade pastries, bake to order cakes and pies (great pies), excellent donuts. I go there at least once per week.

Delicious food and amazing desserts! Definitely a must! The owners are also so nice and pleasant!!! Overall a wonderful experience:D.

Ordered 2 dozen cake pops for a party, everything was a success! Pricing was very reasonable for the high quality offered. Still love the Veg breakfast and Veg lunch options! The house made spicy cheese bread is delicious! read more

Great small town bakery they are always helpful and friendly when I bring my kids in. My kids cant get enough of their goodies!

A great addition to Marengo, I can't believe it took me so long to give it a try but I'm glad I finally did. I hope they are in business a long time! My kids love the donuts, I think they make the best grilled cheese I've ever had, and my husband wanted the turkey/ham club but made on a sub roll which the owner said was no problem. My husband, who is a huge sandwich guy and grew up on Augustino's in Carol Stream, said it was probably the best sub he'd ever had. The fresh baked bread is amazing! I've also had the sugar cookies at a party and they were soft and delicious! The only thing that wasn't that great was the little cherry tart, but the other good stuff far outweighed that. There are more things on the menu I'd love to try; we will definitely be back many more times! read more

I love this little place. Their sandwiches are so good. It's easy to forget what a difference freshly baked bread makes on something as simple as a club sandwich. The donuts are very tasty as well, and different than any other donuts I've ever had. read more

Kay and Joe's is that secret place that every town has that has local celebrity status. The have you heard of....they have the best.....everything is good, but my favorite is their bacon eggs and white cheddar. They will bake anything you need with a couple days notice. The soups are heavenly! The chocolate Oreos are heavenly, they are one viral video from being on some kind of food network. read more

What a wonderful little place! We got sandwiches and a few bakery goods to keep us going for our cross county trip! Very pleasant owners and delicious-food!!! Thanks so much fir the travel tips and such!!! read more

Kay N Jo's is amazing. They have made several personalized cookies and cake pops for me for special occasions and parties. Their menu has an incredible variety of delicious choices. Highly recommend you try them if you haven't already. My family holidays always include their out of this world pies pumpkin and key lime. No party or event is complete without some Kay N Jo's. On top of all the delicious treats , Barb and Dan are great people. Growing up in Marengo my whole life this is exactly what our town was missing. read more

This is a nice little spot on the east side of downtown Marengo. There are a few tables inside and a few more outside. Overall the food was good. I was a bit disappointed by the baked donuts, was expecting fried. And the coffee is what I like to call "sock" coffee, because that's what it tastes like they used for a filter. It's just really cheap coffee!! Very disappointing. Everyone was friendly and the place was clean, seems to be a popular lunch pick up spot. read more

We were looking for a breakfast place in Marengo. My family has had a country house outside of town for years, but we rarely go out for breakfast. Kay N Jo's was the perfect choice! Cozy, clean, great menu! Outdoor seating for a summer day! The breakfast panini I ordered was made as we waited and chatted with (I assume) Kay. It was delicious, easily rivaling the Corner Bakery!! We also brought home fabulous fresh pastries. Cute little doughnut muffins. I would highly recommend anyone living in or driving through Marengo to stop in to Kay N Jo's , enjoy the genuine ambiance and varied menu! A great find! read more

A tiny and unexpected surprise! We had the paninis for breakfast- excellent! Many other sweets & goodies await. Only a couple of tables, but well worth a stop. I'm guessing if you can't get a seat, you'll be bringing some confections home. read more

This is my most favorite place to eat and have ordered all cakes for special occasions. Home town feel with all made fresh. Beats panara hands down. Home made bread and fresh ingredients. read more

A very cute local eatery. A little on the small side, with only two tables inside, but they have a few tables outside and the sandwiches are worth it. The baked goods (cookies and donuts) were amazing. The owners were incredibly friendly, making us feel welcome in their little shop. read more

If you like scratch made breads and sweets, plan a trip to check this place out. Fresh bread, delicious deserts and an accomodating owner/chef. Also, their "day old" table item prices are to die for! Hand made bagels, pretzel rolls at a steal! Will be back to try breakfast/lunch items and a great spot to stop if you're cruising Rt 20. read more

Small bakery with fresh-made everything! Love the chicken salad on their home-made bread, the Italian sub is huge and stuffed with meats and veggies and cheese, and the Caramelized Apple Tarts are to die for. Pies fresh made as well and weigh a ton, a tribute to how loaded they are. Most ingredients locally sourced so you can support multiple local businesses here :) And don't miss the day-old table by the front counter for a variety of neat sweet treats! read more

Delicious soups, salads and sandwiches - ALL made from scratch! Add that to the home made doughnuts, cookies and candies and you'll find yourself in a scratch made foodie heaven. This is DEFINITELY the place you MUST try in Marengo for lunch or a sweet treat. Plus the owner is super friendly and excited to talk about his passion for cooking. Do not miss this place, in fact - go there right now! read more

Great little spot! Small - 2 tables - but yummy. I had the chicken bruschetta and my friend had the ham and artichoke special and both were delicious. We also bought sweet treats which were clearly homemade. Highly recommend. They serve breakfast and lunch till they close at 3 pm. read more

We stopped there on a road trip to WI to avoid fast food chains. The owners were very friendly and in the 40 mn we were there we saw that they enjoyed a very nice local business between sandwiches, cake orders and a fairly wide range of sweets. The place is small but they decorated it in a warm inviting way. They had donuts, cookies (traditional but very good), and more "fancy" tartlets that were very cute but not a flavorful as we had hoped. We had breakfast sandwiches and a grilled cheese for our toddler and they were simple but absolutely delicious, very gooey with cheese, very very good. Very extensive menu, everyone should fine something they like. We would definitely recommend this place! read more

We just passed by this little cute town on our way to Galena and this place was a delight! The sandwiches were so good!!

Great breakfast paninis! The owners are also very sweet! We also took home some donuts and cookies. they look delicious!

Great little place that we've just discovered. If you can make it past the pastry counter and fresh bread, order one of their excellent sandwiches made on bread made on-site. Fresh, quality ingredients and food prepared with TLC make this a wonderful addition to Marengo "cuisine". read more

If you are passing through Marengo this is a must stop. Breakfast paninis, scramblers and doughnuts are second to none. Grab a few things for later also. Glad we stumbled upon this awesome place! read more

A very welcoming place with fresh-baked home cooking! Enjoyed it. Great large portions too! The apple fritter was monstrous! :-) Good point too: Everything is baked, not fried. read more

Can't say enough about this place. The sandwiches are belt busters full of flavor. The soups are to die for and there is always some great pastries to be had. Local artist work decorate the walls. Limited seating inside and a few tables outside during the summer. Donuts and fresh baked bread to go. Owners are friendly and helpful with daily specials. Full service bakery. read more

This local shop is awesome! The owners are so nice and friendly, I love coming in here. I only wish they had hot specialty coffee, latte's, mocha, etc...but being a small business I can understand why they don't have them. Try the brownie, aka chocolate bricks! They are out of this world delicious and I get one every single time I go in. I haven't had any of the sandwiches but intend on trying one this weekend. I have heard great things about them and will update my review when I try one, but seriously I haven't had a single bad thing from here. I just hope that Marengo keeps them in business and people realize what a gem they have with this place! read more

Just got donuts this morning. They were very fresh almost as if they melted in my mouth because of the freshness. Several options as far as flavors but didn't have the true consistency of a donut. More of a cake feeling. Flavors were pretty bland. Prices were expensive for what I took home with me. A dozen donuts was $10.20. Will try back though for breakfast paninis. read more
