Good doughnuts they held up their freshness even late in the day. Probably the best old fashioned i have had. Even day old the 2nd one was still more moist than a fresh dunkin. staff was great , and exactly the set up you would expect at a bakery. The parking was limited but that is a small thing to consider. read more

They have the best chocolate covered donuts in Chicagoland. Staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Amazing bakery. Have been here many times over the years and the products and service have always been top notch. Would return and highly recommend. read more

Always loved their donuts here. Schlegl's Bakery has been around for as long as I can remember, and their donuts have always tasted amazing. I don't live in this area so I don't come here as often as I'd like to read more

I have always known about the high prices at this bakery. However, I do give in occasionally because their quality has always been very high. This past weekend, I purchased six standard size cupcakes, three chocolate and three yellow. When I appeared shocked at the price of $25.00 for the 6 cupcakes the female owner stated, "but they're buttercream." I came home to try one of these massively expensive cupcakes only to find that there is virtually no sugar in either the white icing or the chocolate icing. All it tasted of was whipped butter. Terrible and highly disappointing. Time to get your act together and realize your bakery isn't located on Oak St. in the Gold Coast! read more

I always buy at least two dozen of there freshly made danishes when I go there to me there the best & the guys at work enjoy them and im always asked to bring them in for them when im working in Waukegan. I do recommend you order the night before so they have it ready when you get there . Thanks Sue for the great customer service and the pastries. read more

Schlegl's is now my North side replacement for the legendary bakery of my youth, Webers. The coffee cake here is fantastic, possibly the best fruit fillings I've ever had. They have all kinds of items and I look forward to trying more. The staff is nice, calm and efficient. 5 stars!! read more

We were given a chocolate cream pie from here and it was absolutely delicious! My daughter couldn't stop talking about it. Since her birthday was coming up, I called 2 days before to order the pie but unfortunately they need a 4 day notice on that pie. So, if you really want it call WAY in ADVANCE otherwise they don't accommodate. It was delicious but unfortunately my first one was my last one read more

I came her to catch up with an old friend over pastries and coffee. It is such a charming and clean bakery full of European goodies. I tried the apple strudel which was fresh and packed with apples. I also tried the plum cake which was also very tasty. Customer service was top notch! I am looking forward to coming back to try more of their baked goods. read more

They have good stuff; more authentic ingredients than some other bakeries I've tried. I wish they were open longer in the day--I usually pass by later. But then, I don't get up before the crow cries to start baking each day! When I have a friend, it's nice to sit at their little table with coffee and something slightly sinful. read more

Great bakery for donuts and coffee cake. The birthday cakes never disappoint!!! Incredible decorating and on this cake that I picked up for my wife's birthday!! read more

Schlegl's Bakery - Chocolate cake with raspberry mousse - Bakeries Near Me - Lincolnwood, Illinois

After waiting some time to be waited on a young man looked at me turned around and went back in the kitchen when my turn came up and did not take my order. This caused confusion with the customer behind me who thought it was his turn to put in his order. The help is rude. This to me felt like harassment. read more

For the first time, I just had a cake donut with chocolate frosting from Schlegel's. OMG it was so good! I usually do not like donuts, but this is a life changer . It was light and not too heavy. read more

I had a custom cake made for my daughter. It came out beautiful and my daughter loved it. It was also very tasty in addition to being very beautiful. The custom cake took 2 days to make and it had to be paid for prior to being made, but i'm okay with this. I would return for another cake in the future. read more

Went there on a Thursday morning. The bakery was not crowded. I ordered a dozen doughnuts. I brought them back to the office and they were gone within an hour. It is a little expensive though. $25.00 for the dozen. read more

Love that this place opens early. Great for last minute birthday cakes. I came here early before work to grab a cake for my colleague's birthday since nothing else was opened that early. Other than cakes they also have donuts, cookies and pastries. As you walk in you can smell the sweetness. I got a chocolate cheesecake which tasted amazing. And if you want to have them write "happy birthday" tag on the cake it would cost $3. Overall I would come back again to try the pastries and cookies because it all looked so yummy! read more

I love this place. I first found out about it through a friend who brought me donuts from here and they were to absolutely die for. I loved loved love them so much- they weren't dry, they were moist and they had the most amazing taste. Dunkin' Donuts across the street from them is no match!! Be aware that quality comes with a price so of course they're a little more expensive than Dunkin but believe me, you'll think twice about have Dunkin' Donuts after eating these delicious donuts!! Let me tell you how much I love the quality and service of Schegls that I drive from Skokie to Lincolnwood just for their products even though Kaufman is down the street from me. To each their own but Kaufman is really expensive in comparison to Schegls and the quality is not there. My sister in law once bought the apple pecan danish and that bad boy was gone within a day in our household just because it was THAT good. It flaky, there was a good amount of apple and then the pecan along with sugar coating was the topping on the cake. I mean- I absolutely devoured it. Since then, I regularly stop in to get their apple pecan danish (even though they have a lot of other danish choices) but the apple pecan goes out really quickly so you have to make sure to claim it quick. The only downside to this place is the parking- it's so limited but on the weekends there is usually a line of people waiting to get baked goods from here. I love this place because it's a family owned small business- I love small mom and pop shops!! I highly recommend you come check this place out- you won't regret it! read more

This place has 10/10 donuts but they are never open. Ive never seen a business closed more than this. They are also closed on random days and don't update their website about it. I'll travel 20-30 minutes just to see a sign that says they are randomly closed for that specific day. read more

The best bakery on the North Shore! EVERY SINGLE THING I've tried wows me. The ingredients are so Fresh. The donuts, croissants and danishes are incredible. They have so many unique flavors like pistachio donuts, which are amazing. There is REAL fruit in the danishes. They sell out of everything fast, so get there early. Freindly owner runs it. Cute little building with free parking. read more

Very cute little place! Coffee cake was delicious...will definitely be trying again very soon

My family loves to stop at Schlegl's for a sweet treat, especially to get donuts, cookies, and miniature pastries. Our favorite is the dobosh torte. This is a perfectly made torte, with the perfect layered portions of chocolate buttercream and sponge cake. The staff has always been very pleasant. The bakery is a stand alone shop that is bright, clean, and very organized. read more

I first started enjoying the bakery when I worked at Fel Pro, which became Federal-Mogul, and is now Tennco. Several of the managers would bring in various baked goods to share with the staff. I have since gone there on many occasions to enjoy their variety of baked goods. While their cookies and coffee are fine, I find myself enjoying their donuts and sweet rolls more often. Their cakes are high quality and very rich. They also do great loaves of bread that should be tried at least once so that you can compare to the stuff you get in a bag at a grocery store. read more

I've been going to Schloegl's bakery for years, but recently for my birthday they served me a stale burnt swedish flop cake. I payed extra for additional butter cream for which I did not receive. Their manager told me to buy something else. I will never go back to this bakery again. They have become very rude. read more

Schlegl's Bakery in Lincolnwood is one of my favorite bakeries on the North Side. They have amazing coffee cakes and cookies, but my personal favorite are their sweet rolls. They have a variety of choices to choose from, but my go to is their custard sweet roll. There best deal here is buy 9, get 3 free for a dozen. But you can also buy 5, get 1 free. Check 'em out! Parking can be a bit tight at times, but you can park in the lot next door where the Long Johns Silver used to be haha. read more

Don't get here as often as I should. Only a few parking spaces out front, not sure what the parking policy is for the adjacent businesses. Stopped in most recently early weekday afternoon. Good selection of Euro cake slices, donuts/breakfast pastries, and cookies. Waiting to try the other items (an apple pastry with icing that was in the front case), but the dobosh/dobos cake is great and a unique offering. I'd have to go more often so that I can try other cake slices rather than defaulting back to the their dobosh since if I hadn't had it in a while. Check daily specials to get an extra discount on something Mon-Sat. Photo of daily specials as of 4/1/19. read more

Best chocolate chip cookies in Chicago. Fantastic! Love them. I went in today and was very grumpy (apologies to anyone I was grumpy to). But after I left I started eating the cookie and was not able to sustain my ongoing frustration. Thank you for making this grump less annoying if only for the length of eating a cookie. In this economy and political climate, eat a cookie. read more

Beautiful selection of old world baked treats! Walking in the front door is a feast to the eyes. An amazing array of lovingly crafted goodies! Get there early for the best selections. Worth the trip even if you don't live in the area. read more

I still remember the speciality cupcakes served for my birthday a few months ago from Schlegl's Bakery. Purchased cupcakes today for another family member's birthday celebration. Picked up some specialty cookies and a couple of pastries for morning coffee. My only regret is not being introduced to this bakery years ago. The pastries were even better than my two "go to" places that I've loved for years (Allegretti's and House of Cakes). Presentation and taste were both spot on. Delicious. There are many delightful looking products in the bakery that I'd love to try. The premises were very clean and the cases had a lot of eye appeal. The ladies who operate the shop Kim, Susie and Lisa were very nice and introduced themselves to me. I was the only customer in the shop after the morning rush. I'll definitely be returning to try more bakery goods. read more

Schlegl's Bakery is a cutesy little neighborhood bakery. The employees are attentive, the samples are generous, and the sweets are endless. My momma treated my sister and I to some cake pops that were SO yum. Dressed to impress for Halloween week, they made for the most delicious treat. The cake itself was moist and dense at the same time, and the dyed chocolate coating was the perfect topping. The decoration was out of this world. They were extremely large and took us a couple days to eat, but even after four days sitting out on the counter, they STILL tasted amazing. I'll be back to try out more treats soon. Totally worth traveling out of the city to :) read more

As a local Skokie resident I frequent this bakery regularly. Today's review is for the birthday cake they made my wife to mark her milestone 40th. I went with the double chocolate mousse and it was delicious. The best part is my wife loved it! Many thanks Schlegl's for coming through. read more

A friend needed some cheering up, and what better way to do that than with some sweets :) Swung by on a Monday afternoon and their glass cases were well-stocked with cakes, basic cupcakes and different types of cookies. I went with some novelty frosted sugar cookies, one shaped like a unicorn and another shaped like a sunflower. My friend said they were good, unlike other sugar cookies she's gotten from other bakeries, so I'm happy. They've got daily specials (see my pic) and brewed coffee--Colombian, hazelnut and decaf--plus tea bags! read more

OMG! What a gem! Such a blessing! Everything was fresh! Donuts and cookies! The linzers are my favorite! Chocolate capped raspberry! Man, oh man! That Boston cream, I had to cut it in half, so I wouldn't get it all over me! So good! Got a slice of Black Forest and Mocha Cake! Perfection! The flavors are there, not too sweet, so it was easy to eat! Filipinos love mocha cake and my Tita approved! Fast and friendly service! read more

I ordered cake for my gender reveal and the cake was GREAT. Everyone loved it. I am going to give 2 stars because firstly , the color of frosting inside the cake was so light that it was hard to tell whats the gender. That was a BUMMER!! Secondly, the bakery really needs to work on customer interaction and customer service in general. I ordered my cake through Suzie/Sue. The first thing i mentioned to her that it's my first time with placing the order and i would need help with it but still I was bombarded with all the questions about frosting/fruits/nuts etc and not one by one but ALL AT THE SAME TIME. And most of the questions ended up being irrelevant because that wasn't even the type of cake i was ordering in the first place. She asked me a million questions only to tell me ' oh but we cant do these with the type of cake you are ordering' Well... then why were you asking those in the first place? The whole process was extremely rushed, confusing and overwhelming. Instead of walking me through the steps and the price ranges, i was being thrown a million questions at. In the end i payed $56 for a simple yellow cake, no fruits, no other things. Just a plain cake that i paid $56 for. I Don't think i'm EVER going back there ONLY because of the customer service by that particular lady. I do want to thank the baker who baked the cake, they did their job perfectly and the cake was amazing. read more

Its worth the trip for me because it is one of my Mom's favorite places. Side Note: Always around this time of year bakeries rock about (5) five inch diameter cookies: CUBS, WhiteSox and Baseball image cookies. I told the lady behind the counter, as they only had CUBs and Baseball image cookies, I would like to buy some WhiteSox cookies, she relied, "They are all sold out." I quipped a question, "So all these years I go into a bakery in Chicago or the Chicago area and there are no WhiteSox cookies its because they sell out faster then the other cookies?" She said, "They do in here, we are gonna make only more WhiteSox cookies tommarow." I said, "word up." read more

This has become our go-to bakery! We have never been disappointed by anything we've bought here-- cookies, bread, coffee cakes, pre made cakes, cupcakes! Everything has been great! Our favorite item, though, is the special order cakes. They are absolutely delicious and decorated so perfectly! Sue takes the cake orders and she is very helpful and nice. She knows her cakes and she makes sure that your combination is going to work perfectly with your design. We get so many compliments about these birthday cakes because they are beautiful AND absolutely delicious. People actually look forward to them every year! All of the staff is always so nice and friendly. Everything is so delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Popped in here for an afternoon sweet treat and coffee and am so glad I did! They have so many options from entire cakes and donuts to cinnamon raisin bread. Inside is nice and clean and the staff was very friendly. We got 2 cake donuts with chocolate frosting, an apple danish, strawberry and cheese danish and a coffee. The cake donuts were so moist and tender with the perfect balance of donut meets cake. I'd come here just for them, they were so good! The danish were also delicious and I was very pleased that the filling in the strawberry and cheese one went all the way to the corners! Usually when you get a pastry that has filling there is always an empty corner, but not this one! read more
