While I understand they have to stick to their business hours, I was deeply disappointed by the staff's attitude. The person who told us they were closed was very rude, which completely ruined any desire to ever come back. This was definitely my first and last time here." "El domingo pasado pasamos por este lugar. A mi hija se le antojó un churro y, como la puerta trasera estaba abierta, procedimos a entrar. Para nuestra sorpresa, al parecer ya habían cerrado; entiendo perfectamente que tengan que cumplir con un horario. Sin embargo, lo que me desagradó demasiado y me quitó las ganas de regresar fue la actitud de la persona que nos atendió: no fue nada amable al indicarnos que ya estaba cerrado. Definitivamente, fue mi primera y última vez en este lugar."

Visited this place right before I attended a play in downtown Elgin. We (wife and I) got 2 churros,…read moreone vanilla and one apple. They are $3 each. Reasonable given the size. Let me say this: best churro I've ever had anywhere, including Guaranteed Rate field, that churro factory in Aurora, etc. I mean it was great. Warm, crunchy and great filling. The place was pretty busy and lively. People coming in and out. I saw one guy with a churro sundae, and I wanted one. The service is very quick and the workers are friendly. I will definitely be back and next time, I'm getting the churro sundae.

Family owned, new local spot here in west Elgin. Small shop in the main strip on 20 west of…read moreRandall. Great addition to the area. The shop has just a few tables for dining in, maybe 16-20 sports to sit. I've been twice now, Hemings have calmed down so the wait was much better trip two. I have had two different bagels and both time got the scallion cream cheese. I enjoy the bagels, very fluffy. They do cover all sides of the bagel with the toppings, mine was an everything bagel. I heard a man say twice toasted, and I would do that next time. Love the cream cheese, they pre spread it for you and it is a good amount. The knock of a star is for price, $5 for one bagel and cream cheese and the wait time. It takes about 7-8 minutes to get a toasted bagel. Maybe that will improve with time, but be prepared, you are not getting in and out. Lastly, the everything is overwhelmingly poppy seeds, I like more onion and garlic. My preference. Check them out for a coffee, baked good or bagel soon.

It is inconveniently located in back and down one floor, of a small shopping plaza in downtown Bartlett; the Google maps picture is accurate. Ok, I get it rent is cheaper here, and you are a small mom & pop shop. Giving you a pass on this one. Their website accurately portrays the goods sold here - except - a reference scale for the products; my attached pictures show the LARGE container next to a ruler (in inches). Holy c***, I said, as my package was handed to me at pickup. Would a 'small' require an electron microscope to view it? You be the judge. Mind you my cheesecake DNA has one standard only - Eli's of Chicago. This was nowhere near this standard so it wouldn't be a fair comparison. Cost - $14.56 with tax, not a big hit on my wallet, but it will be the last hit from this establishment as I am not coming back - ever As far as a 'bang for the buck' factor - sorry again, sure cant say that Did not buy it or consume it myself, I let another person in the household be the crash test dummy; sure glad I did p.s. I take no pleasure at all in writing a review like this, but in all honesty, I have to call it like I see it.

I'm not sure if there has been a recent change in owners I used to really enjoy this bakery when I…read morelived in the area 3 years ago but I was extremely disappointed with the lack of professionalism and product quality yesterday. I went and placed an order Friday evening for pickup Sunday at 3pm. I arrive at 3:30pm the cake had not even been started they told me to please come back. I understand errors happen so I came back at 5pm. They didn't have cake boxes so they asked if it was ok to place in a rosca box despite it not being able to close, again I was understanding. I requested Rosegold or light pink with gold decorations and received pink and white. The final straw was that the only reason I ordered from a bakery instead of picking up a premade cake from Sam's or Jewel (that probably would've been better quality and cuter) was because I wanted 3 leches. The cake was not 3 leches. Save yourself money and disappointment and go somewhere else. As for the owners of this bakery maybe it's time to close shop if you're not going to dedicate time and attention to serving quality products. *** No estoy segura de si ha habido un cambio reciente de dueños. Solía ​​disfrutar mucho de esta pastelería cuando vivía en la zona hace 3 años, pero ayer me decepcionó muchísimo la falta de profesionalismo y la baja calidad de los productos. Hice un pedido el viernes por la noche para recogerlo el domingo a las 3 de la tarde. Llegué a las 3:30 y el pastel ni siquiera estaba empezado; me pidieron que volviera más tarde. Entiendo que los errores ocurren, así que volví a las 5 de la tarde. No tenían cajas para pasteles, así que me preguntaron si me importaba que lo pusieran en una caja de rosca, a pesar de que no cerraba bien; de nuevo, fui comprensiva. Pedí un pastel color oro rosa o rosa claro con decoraciones doradas y recibí uno rosa y blanco. La gota que derramó el vaso fue que la única razón por la que pedí un pastel en una pastelería en lugar de comprar uno ya hecho en Sam's o Jewel (que probablemente habría sido de mejor calidad y más bonito) era porque quería un pastel de tres leches. El pastel no era de tres leches. Ahórrense dinero y decepciones y vayan a otro sitio. En cuanto a los dueños de esta pastelería, quizás sea hora de cerrar si no van a dedicar tiempo y atención a ofrecer productos de calidad.

Decided to try the Sundae and and a Dulce Box (8 churros mixed and matched) both were exceptional, and having been my first time I didn't realize how absolutely massive these things were. 1 churro can easily be shared by 2 people, maybe even 3 of your not too much of a sweets person. The churros were prepared perfectly, crispy on the outside and silky smooth and warm on the inside. Yum. The staff was very pleasant, patients knowledgeable and eager to explain options. Overall, a very nice spot and a welcomed addition to the area. Will definitely be back.

I'm not Hispanic so I was a little nervous going in since I didn't know what is what but she made me feel very welcome. It's self service, which I didn't realize at first, but is nice - you take a tray and tongs and put what you want on the tray and they box it up for you. Nice mix of Mexican pastries and baked goods. My dinner hosts (who are Mexican) said the desserts were the best they've ever had! I would definitely go back if in the area again.

Would not reccomned here is why: Customer service: One specific employee was rude to my older parents and I. My parents andI went in and an employee, and older ladyolder lady asked me what I wanted. I said I was still deciding. My parents were standing next to me and instead of asking them for their order she just walked away. Another employee told her we were trying to order. She waved her arms in the air to that employee and said "they don't want anything." Right in front of us and loud enough that we heard her. She looked annoyed and walked away. We then had to wait a few minutes while the other employees helped other costumer. Then when the lady saw another customer come in, she came out, ignored us and went to help them. I told her, "but we were here first (still need help with order)," and she said "somebody else will take your order." That's just disrespectful, unprofessional. The paletas are very good! However, it's a shame that the customer service, from this one employee, was so bad. A product being good is not enough to keep people coming back. Customer service is the greatest factor in the success of a business. I know La Michoacana is a big chain and it will not fail as a company from one bad review, but good reputation needs to be sustained.
