A little confusing on where to order. Can I order pastries at the coffee shop. Coffee at the bakery counter? It was my first time there and everyone else who came in must've known what they were doing. The barista was quite possibly the friendliest person I've ever met. She made us some yummy drinks and was quick to clear our table when we finished our avocado toast and cinnamon roll. Brought home a box of baked goods and the chocolate croissant was amazing. The pumpkin croissant was strange but my girlfriend wanted to try it. Cool place to sit and enjoy a coffee and pastry. read more

I ordered from them for the first time and was a little nervous, but wow--they exceeded all expectations! I ordered a Tres Leches cake for a gender reveal party, and oh my God, it was absolutely AMAZING. Everyone kept asking me where I got the cake from. It tasted incredible and looked stunning as well. Hands down, totally worth trying--I'll definitely be ordering again! Also, when I went to pick up the cake, I noticed they have a super cute café next to the bakery. The place had such a great vibe--everyone seemed to be enjoying their coffee and fresh salads, and it just felt like a really warm, welcoming space. read more

We were so excited to pick up our cake for our mom's 81st birthday. It was a black forrest cake. Was to say Happy Birthday Mom on it. Le Bakery came highly recommended to us from locals (we are from out of state. When the counter assistant brought out the cake I was so confused as to why she would even present something that looked so aweful. I was in stunned silence. In an effort to be kind I left with the aweful cake and ran to Walmart to get a can of cherries to cover up the ugly black bleeding frosting. Im still stunned. I wish our experience had been wonderful but giving us this cake was shameful. Certainly will not recommend them. read more

LeBakery and LeCafe! I've always known this place was here but I want to say that they only recently expanded out into having a cafe attached to the bakery. Maria hit me up for some coffee once I was back from Colorado and suggested we stop in here for caffeine and maybe some baked goodies. The coffee menu here is small so don't expect a full-fledged menu to order something fancy. I settled on a brown sugar cinnamon iced coffee. While ordering it, the barista asked if I wanted it as a cold brew and I said yes. But once I got my coffee and started sipping on it, I knew it wasn't an actual cold brew and it was just an iced coffee. While not a big deal, I wasn't a big fan of the drink as a whole. Somehow a cold version of brown sugar cinnamon just isn't that good, in my opinion. Maria got a drink, too, and agreed. She let me try her drink and I found it even less favorable than mine. While sitting there and catching up on the last few weeks, I got a snickerdoodle cookie to snack on since I didn't eat breakfast. For where the coffee was lacking the cookie more than made up for it. The snickerdoodle was soft and chewy and tasted just right. For as big as it was, I could've gone for another one, easily. At about $2 a piece, it's worth every penny. Maria got a quiche breakfast meal and some cinnamon bread while we were there. She said the meal was pretty tasty but didn't realize she ordered a meal instead of just a piece of quiche. The bakery, cafe, and staff are all very nice. Everything seems freshly painted and the general vibe was nice and clean. Its a bummer the coffee was lackluster but that may have just been the combination that we ordered. I would be willing to give it another shot should we come back (which is likely since Maria mentioned visiting again). read more

New to the city and was recommended here. The place looks nice and the cakes were amazing, would give it 5 stars but the customer service we got twice here was not so good. read more

LeBakery is truly awesome. As far as cakes go, whatever your mind imagines this bakery should be your first stop for they may be able to make it happen. Once inside, not only do you want to check out the cakes but also check out the menu for their pastries, breads, pies, cookies, and more. This bakery has a warm, and inviting atmosphere . The display of the baked items makes you want to purchase everything you see. We ordered a custom cake for our mother's 80th birthday celebration. The cake was a beautiful work of art. As the younger people say it was fire. The cake was moist, and the balance of sweetness was just right. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my experience all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend Le Bakery to anyone looking for a custom cake in Peoria. read more

‼ NOT SAFE FOR ALLERGIES ‼ and maybe not trustable in general. My daughter has anaphylactic allergies. A sweet friend of hers wanted her to have a safe treat at a birthday party. That parent called Le Bakery and confirmed that the vegan cupcakes were also nut free. To be extra cautious, I called Le Bakery and was also told the vegan cupcakes were nut free. I asked the worker to read the ingredients to me. Guess what's in them - ALMOND MILK. I tried calling back numerous times to talk to a manager about it but they wouldn't pick up my calls. Le Bakery is lucky I made a call to have them literally read through ingredients because it means I'm giving them a one star review instead of suing them for an ambulance ride to the hospital :) read more

My daughters christening was today, and Le Bakery gave us the perfect personalized touches for her day. Here are the inspiration photos and finished and delivered product. We are so impressed, and not only were they beautiful they were delicious! They use butter cream frosting instead of royal icing, and while it's not the same, we definitely feel they were tastier. We'd give 10 stars if we could! read more

I bought 8 of their specialty cupcakes and I asked if they were fresh...I was told they were baked fresh. However, it was dry and the frosting was hard and I mean old sitting cupcakes HARD..cupcakes tasted old and definitely dry no moistness to it. With all this being said I DO NOT recommend this place for cupcakes. Betty Crocker moist cake mix and baking your own cupcakes is your best bet unless you can find another Bakery that makes delicious cupcakes but Le Bakery is not it and don't waste your money and time. I am only rating the cupcakes. If I could bring them back I would. read more

This was my first visit here, though I have passed by many times. I'm very happy I dropped in to check it out. I had brunch and bought a loaf of sour dough bread. The bread is excellent with great texture and an excellent sour flavor, not like the stuff I usually buy at the supermarkets labled sour dough. I had a BLT on white bread. Again, the bread was excellent, with great flavor and texture. It had plenty of bacon but a little lacking on the tomato. They were your typical store bought verity, which is surprising given that they are 200 ft from the farmer's market. I hope they start buying their supplies there when in season. Overall the sandwich was very good and I'll have no problem going back for one. The ambiance of the café section is cozy and thought set up well. The bakery is set up like a traditional one with all their wares set up behind the cases. The smells were lovely, and the sight of all the goodies delightful! The service was very good, quick, and polite in both the bakery and cafe. The owner came out and asked about my experience, which I pretty much told him what I'm writing here. He was very thankful for the input! Definitely try this hidden jem. I'll be going back for sure! read more

Went in for the first time and now will be going back at least once a week to try something new. The cookies are amazing!

Horrible customer service! They were so rude to us and highly annoyed that we asked questions. I was wanting to order a cake. I was told that "their customers already know what they want to order beforehand." She said that's why they don't offer menus. I've never experienced such a rude experience. I will continue to support local, just not this bakery. Peoria area has so many wonderful options that are HAPPY to have new customers!! read more

They could have done better for the price. Taste of cake was good and frosting was delicious. I asked for a plain white scraped look and there was a spot that was not iced enough or possibly scraped too much so the cake itself was visible. It's just a cake and after adding my flowers and topper, it looked pretty; however, when you pay $400 for a cake, you are paying for it to be perfect in my opinion. Overall, the lady was really nice and they delivered on time, so I can't complain too much. Join read more

I have ordered baked goods a couple of times for meetings/events at work with LeBakery and have only positive things to say. They are easy to order from, their cakes and cupcakes have exceeded my expectations both in how they look and taste. LeBakery has also delivered to my office downtown at no charge which is rare. I order a lot of food for my job at OSF Corporate offices and have had better customer service and just better service in general than the majority of other restaurants, caterers, etc in Peoria. read more

I placed an order for a 1/2 sheet encanto themed cake and 24 chocolate chip cookies for for my daughter's 5th birthday over a month before her party. I went back the next day to give them a picture of what I had wanted. Well they couldn't find my original order form from the day before so they had to make a new one. The main guy acted a bit perplexed when I showed him the picture of what I had wanted then said it would be $92 bc of all the detail. (I'm thinking okay but this place does wedding cakes?) None the less I placed the order bc I really wanted my daughter to have her special cake. I called a little over a week ahead to make sure they were still good to go on my chocolate chip cookies for my daughters class and her Encanto cake. They said yes all was good. Picked up her cookies they were big and thinner than the ones we had originally tried although they were good, they tasted & looked "store bought." The day of her party we arrived about an hour earlier as we wanted to pick up some other goodies for Easter. They come out with a cake that was not what I had orders at all. They go back to the back, come back out with two order forms. Both mine. The original one and the second one they had to fill out bc they had lost the other order form. They say "oh looks like you or someone called and ordered 2 cakes the same day, that's really weird." "She's still finishing up the other cake, you guys are early." It will be just a few minutes. I tried to explain the situation clearly with the mix up with the original order form that had gotten lost and other order. They didn't get it or care and basically shrugged it off saying "shame this cake (not the one I wanted) was a pretty cake" which yea it was but again not at all what I had ordered and acted like it was my own mix up/fault. Why they wouldn't have the noticed/figured out that there had to have been a mix up is beyond me and instead still made 2 cakes instead of calling me to make sure 1st. Several minutes go by as we're waiting, and waiting and waiting keep being told a few more min. Finally our cake is ready an hour later the time of our actual pick up time. Yes, we were an hour early but why wouldn't our cake already be done instead of waiting to finish i it very last min!? We get our cake I asked if it would still be the same price? $92 and the guy says yes. At this point i'm fuming to the point i'm about in tears and just want my daughters cake. No apology, no discount. We also ended up late to my daughters party. As far as the cake, The design was similar to what we wanted but the colors were very muted and the cake was really thin, one corner of the cake was also lopsided. I had really high hopes for an amazing cake for my daughter and had raved about our original experience and was very disappointed in the end. Never again. Also the pie and cookies we got for Easter not good-cookies very dry, pie was "fruit of the forrest" somehow ended up really salty. mistake salt for sugar maybe? It made for a very frustrating and exhausting weekend. read more

Aesthetically, their desserts are beautiful. They have a nice variety of desserts: cookies, thumbprint cookies, cookie sandwiches, danishes, cinnamon rolls, breads, baklava, tarts, cakes, cake pops, and cupcakes. I highly recommend their gourmet cupcakes, napoleons, and le petits. Service is fast and somewhat friendly. Their desserts are certainly good and not overly sweet. Main complaints are their thumbprint cookies can be too brittle, and their cupcakes are dry and not soft. Prices are a bit high to run into these issues. This is still a nice place to stop by for a quick dessert in the Metro Centre. read more

What happened to this previously known gourmet bakery? Just purchased a cinnamon what I thought was supposed to be a coffee cake and got a raw pile of dough, absolutely the worst thing I have ever gotten at any bakery! The place did look a bit unsavory upon my visit and the young gentlemen that waited on us did not were any protective glove while handling bakery products, money, cash register or any other surfaces. I just won't ever return here again. read more

Although I've only experienced Le Bakery's fares a couple of times, I've depended on them for two momentous occasions, and they've come through for me with flying colors. Last December, Le Bakery custom-made my wedding cake for me with only a couple of weeks' notice. They were actually recommended to me by the folks at Cracked Pepper Bakery, who said that Le Bakery's kitchen could much better accommodate the type of cake I was looking for. I requested a small two-tier, dense New York style cheesecake, which they frosted with decadent buttercream and topped with a gorgeous array of raspberries. They weren't sure at first how the cheesecakes would hold up stacked on top of each other, but we talked through what I wanted pretty meticulously, and we ended up with a cake that my family still gushes about a year later. I'm writing this review because my husband and I just devoured our top layer last week after pulling it out of deep freeze over Thanksgiving weekend, and it was as perfect as I remembered it. The pricing was very reasonable, and my brother was able to pick up the cake the day of our ceremony without a hitch. More recently, we visited Le Bakery on our tip home to Peoria for Thanksgiving, as they were open when Trefzger's was not on Black Friday. When I called to inquire about what pies they had available, they named off 6 or 7 options, none of which were the cream pie I had my heart set on. But when I mentioned this, the gentleman I spoke to on the phone immediately inquired with their baker, who said he could whip me up a banana cream pie within about three hours. When I went to pick up my pie, they were just putting the finishing touches on it. I took a sample of the cinnamon buns they had set out (so so delicious) and oggled at the gorgeous cream horns and little individually portioned cakes (tiramisu, mmm). When my pie was finished, they wrapped it lovingly in a pastry box, and I was on my way only about $12 poorer (I believe they happened to offer 10% pies on Friday). I'm from Los Angeles, so this amazing price blew me over, though I'm pretty confident it's a great price for a custom-made super fresh and high quality bakery pie no matter where you live. Also, it was absolutely delicious--simply made without embellishments but honest-to-goodness one of the best tasting banana cream pies I've had in recent memory. The bananas were nicely sliced (no huge chunks), the pudding tasted homemade instead of out of a Jello box, and the whipped topping, although not made from real heavy cream, was fresh and light and swirled on top beautifully. The crust, although not as dark or flaky as I would have liked it, was crisp and delicious. Everyone, including my husband's grandparents who aren't typically banana cream pie fans, enjoyed a big slice and had nothing but compliments. I had another piece for breakfast Saturday morning before flying home. Thanks, Le Bakery, for coming through for me yet again. I can honestly say this is one of the highlights of a Peoria visit for me. read more

My daughter ordered her birthday cake and she wanted chocolate covered strawberries but she wanted pink chocolate they did not use pink chocolate it was regular chocolate. The flavoring was supposed to be half vanilla and half lemon they mixed up the vanilla and the lemon together my daughter was not happy with my daughter wants to go pick up the cake the box was wide open with no covering no plastic or anything in this instance in till to help dry the cake out so it was not moist upon cutting the cake and it was just a horrific experience for her. I used to come to Le Bakery when my children were small, and it doesn't sound like it's the same people that owned it back then and it's really sad because the name carries itself but at this rate they're really going to just destroy the name and it's sad. My daughter tried to call and explain what was going on and she was polite but this lady was so rude to her super rude like unnecessarily rude. My daughter was an unhappy customer and all she want it was her case to be remade but because of the rudeness she did and was seeking a refund and after being hung up on, yelled at and talking to the male worker my daughter was able to get her money back but they lost some customers because of this experience read more
