I had a Caesar salad, my wife has the French onion soup and a grilled cheese and all items were solid. Also had the Chocolate chip cookies which were awesome. They have a ton of pastries that I look forward to trying down the line as well. Would definitely recommend.

The pastries are perfection, the French toast is unforgettable, the salads are fresh and flavorful, and the quiches are some of the best I've ever had. You can't go wrong no matter what you order. They are quick and efficient. I love this place, and I love coming back every chance I get. A must‑visit.

There were pastries and cakes - all vegan. My children chose chocolate marshmallow brownies. The employees let me sample the scraps of the brownie and it was super tasty. It is much pricier than your typical pastry - the two brownies cost me $29 after tip. Libby's Corner (a vegan Jamaican catering company) was visiting and we ended jp purchasing a large Cajun plate with 5 items (also for $29).

We used to order a lot of birthday cakes from this Deerfields Bakery.  They always did an excellent…read morejob.  Our daughter's favorite customized cake was an 8" to 10" chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling, and chocolate whipped cream frosting, which was huge, rich, and delicious.  Ever since she was little, it also became a tradition to pick up a big smiley face cookie for her whenever we picked up a cake. Recently, we had ordered a small cake from the Deerfields Bakery in Buffalo Grove, and really loved it.   A few days ago, while I was in the Deerfield area, I decided to stop by the Deerfield location for the first time in at least five or six years. This bakery has gone through a nice renovation. It is clean, bright, modern, and pleasant, just like the one in Buffalo Grove, except that it is a lot smaller.  Since it was after 4:00 pm when I went, within an hour of closing, some of the shelves were already empty, which is understandable and probably a good sign for the business. Out of nostalgia, I purchased a big smiley face cookie for $3.95.   The girl who helped me was very polite and friendly even though I was just purchasing one cookie.  That made the visit even more pleasant.  However, I would likely get some other baked goods instead next time, as this cookie and its icing were quite hard, and just tasted like a lot of sugar. I am deducting one star mostly because of the parking situation.  There are only four parking spaces by the building, once these spaces are occupied, customers have to walk to the parking lot in the back that's diagonal from the bakery, and cross a busy driveway shared with a bank.  This can be especially inconvenient when carrying a cake. Since the Buffalo Grove location is much larger and has its own parking lot that makes parking easy, I will most likely continue going to the Buffalo Grove location unless I happen to be in the Deerfield area.

I've been going to Deerfield Bakery for over 20 years, which is why this is disappointing to write…read more The donut quality has clearly gone downhill. The signature chocolate donut barely tastes like chocolate anymore, and whatever chocolate is there feels cheaper and thinner than it used to be. The birthday cake donut? Honestly tasted like an Entenmann's donut--fine, but nothing special and definitely not bakery-worthy. The prices are still decent, but I'd gladly pay a little more if it meant bringing back the old recipes and higher-quality ingredients. This place built its reputation on standout baked goods, and right now the donuts just aren't living up to that legacy.

I grabbed a choc/vanilla frosted yeast-raised and a choc frosted frycake. Both were top notch - yeast-raised was moist (and the frosting was fresh with give so that it didn't all fall off with one bite). The frycake - good chocolate flavor in the glaze (like the other donut) and the cake - crispy outside, but light inside. Place is small, so with the pandemic, maybe only two people inside limit - one paying and one picking out their goods. There's a bench in front of Paty's Restaurant for dining there outside if the restaurant isn't open. 5/22/20 - update: tamales are now available - chicken, pork, or peppers
