Trust me, I absolutely love the cakes from here. The problem I have is if you're going to be successful. You also need to have employees who know a thing or two about what they're actually selling. I even asked how long should I keep the cake out for the best experience? Even I know it should probably sit out for 3 hours or so and these girls looked at each other as if I was absolutely crazy asking that question. Please teach these employees about the product that they are selling and if they don't like a flavor, that's fine. You need to have them engaged and talk about what they actually like that they're selling it. Just flabbergasted me. It's almost as if they're looking at me like why are you here? Please leave. Why are you eating this crap? Just an awful experience by the employees you hire. Please retrain your employees who talk to the customers. When I opened my bag to try my cakes a few hours later, the girl gave me the wrong cake.

Paid $120 for a cake that was made by a completely unskilled baker and then thrown around by the delivery person she sent to deliver the cake. The cake was delivered all dented and beat up. The cake wasn't even standing straight up...then she wants to say she baked a completely different cake and can't refund since the cake was picked up and eaten...no one ate that sorry excuse of a cake lady. Then she said it was mishandled or got too warm..mishandled by the delivery guy she sent and how did it get too warm on a cold Chicago winter day right after a snowstorm that you blamed for your tardiness? She must have sent some random guy to deliver cause she knew how horrible the cake looked. Don't ever spend your money on a business that is unskilled, has no regard for your event time and can't even personally deliver a cake. I would have loved to see her personally present me with her Nailed It cake.

I give La Baguette Bakery in Melrose Park a 5/5 fantastic rating! The tres leches cake was incredibly moist and delicious, and the strawberry cream-filled cake was pleasantly not overly sweet. I also tried some cookies, which were absolutely delicious. The only downside is the small and sometimes crowded parking area, but it's definitely worth it. They offer a wide assortment of cakes and baked goods, and the staff is friendly. The location is clean, and I highly recommend visiting on Fridays when everything is fresh and ready for the weekend! read more

I would recommend these 3 options if you are looking for a cake/flan delight. I would said price is fair ($38 and change) for the size as well, but I am not too familiar with competitors other than Tony's Fresh market flan which you can get for about $20ish but quality is very low.

Best Panadería in Town! Saved My Event with 150 Conchas!…read more I was in a major bind trying to find 100 conchas for a work event with less than a day's notice. I called four different bakeries, and none of them could guarantee the order would be ready in time. Oh and conchas are a mexican pastry shaped like a round shell. Someone suggested this spot, and when I called, the owner answered! Not only was he incredibly kind and accommodating, but he guaranteed he would have the order ready for me by 5:00 AM the next morning. Who does that? I ended up ordering 150 mini conchas, and they were absolutely devoured by my coworkers! Everyone insisted we order from here again. The pastries were incredibly fresh, and the service from the owner was outstanding. You absolutely won't be disappointed with the quality or the customer service here. I will definitely be ordering from them again! His panaderia is really nice wirh many items from Mexico, I love this.

It was a good combination of sweet and savory flavors with pieces of chicken, red grapes, walnuts, diced celery, and the cafe's homemade dressing. However, I wasn't as keen on the croissant that the sandwich was served on. It was a tad dry and not as buttery as I would have liked. But I would definitely come back for the matcha lattes!
