Bagels are pretty easy to get around here. If looking to get some fresh ones then you probably…read moreshould order from this place in Wheeling. Chicago Bagel & Bialy is a classic. Has classic bagel style which is about as authentic of New York as you can get. The prices are usually good on bagels and sandwiches as well. A lot of bagels and bialys to get. It also has lots of cream cheese and other spreads. The most famous of these is the cream cheese and lox, but of course there's much more beyond that. It's about $2 for a regular bagel. Then add a few bucks or so depending on choice of toppings. Choose a simple spread like cream cheese or maybe load it up with something more. You can even make a big sandwich packed with meat if you like that. Has some pretty good vegetarian choices. There's toppings like avocado and vegetables or maybe get a salad. Also the sandwiches which looks and smells fresh. There's a lot more than just bagels to get here. Even though it's best known for the bagels, there's also bialys. It's kind of like bagels with no holes. There's also plenty of sides like salads.

You could definitely come here for breakfast or lunch - they had a really big menu! I loved the parmesan oregano bagel & got it with eggs and cheese. It came with 2 eggs so it made the sandwich very filling even though the bagels are on the smaller size. We also loved their latke. It was super thick & perfectly crispy on the outside.

They have quite the large and varied selection of drink options. For lunch, I ordered one of their specials of the day, smoked salmon with cucumber and dill on a warmed croissant. The amount of salmon was unexpectedly generous. Typically you will pick up your drinks at the counter, but they'll bring your meal to you. The music was just right, with artists you might expect, such as Norah Jones. If you're in the area, it's definitely a spot to consider for food and drink.

Our guests always rave about everything I serve, and I receive compliments every time. Beyond the delicious baked goods, the customer service is impeccable. At the Buffalo Grove store, one employee truly stands out...Keigo. Every time I walk through the door, he greets me with a smile, comes right over to help, and couldn't be more professional, friendly, and attentive. Keigo is an absolute pleasure to work with and makes every visit even more enjoyable. Outstanding employees like him are a big part of what keeps me coming back. I just wanted you to know how much he is appreciated!

I have been going to Deerfields Bakery for decades; I just realized that it is not "Deerfield" or…read more"Deerfield's", but "Deerfields". Before we fell in love with the mousse cakes of another bakery that's just minutes from home, we used to order most of our birthday cakes from Deerfields, and picked up at the location in Deerfield. In addition to cakes, they specialize in a full line of baked goods, including pastries, cookies, cupcakes, pies, danishes, donuts, muffins, bagels, and more. Recently, I needed to order a small 4" cake for the first time ever, since all of us didn't want a large cake, even a 6" cake would be too much, because I am usually the one to finish all the cake leftovers. Also, there were only about 3 days for the bakery to make the cake, our other bakery needs 7 days, and probably would not make a 4" cake. I knew that Deerfields could do it in 48 hours. I was pleased that I could order on their website, although their choices for 4" cakes were very limited. I picked a velvet cake with cream cheese filling and buttercream frosting ($30.95). However, it has 4 layers and serves 6-8, we would still have leftovers. This time, I chose to pick up at the Deerfields in Buffalo Grove, where I had visited a couple of times, and I like this location much better than the one in Deerfield. It is like a storybook bakery to me! The bakery is picture perfect inside and out, visually appealing with lots of vibrant colors and beautiful displays. When I visited, the spacious bakery was festively decorated, which was quite charming. There's also a café inside, with some tables on the first floor, and the entire cozy second floor dedicated to café dining. The café serves breakfast and lunch Wednesday through Sunday. Like many other bakeries, Deerfields is closed on Mondays. On this weekday when I came around noon, the bakery was bustling. I would give this experience 5 stars for both the cake we ordered and the excellent service we received, especially from Greg, who greeted me as soon as I walked in. The customer service team had emailed me suggestions for decorating the small cake, and I replied with my specific requirements. However, it seemed that my reply had not been read. I needed the center of the top filled with more roses so the design would not look like a wreath. In the future, I will follow up with a phone call to confirm the details. One staff member from the bake room (Brianca?) came out and explained that it could be done, but I would need to wait an hour because all the bakers had just gone on break. I agreed and said I would return to pick it up. Just as I was about to leave, Greg came out from the bake room with the good news that a baker was available to do it right away. In the end, I only spent about 10 to 15 minutes waiting, which I used to take photos around the shop. The cake turned out beautiful and delicious, moist and velvety. I myself didn't care that much for the thick buttercream frosting, but the cream cheese filling was quite good. Since we had the cake after a big dinner, we all opted for small pieces. However, all of us didn't mind eating leftover cakes the next day. When we crave for a more traditional cake in the future, we will definitely return to Deerfields again!

Spunky Dunkers Donuts

They were delicious but we knew we weren't getting the best of the batch and also noticed people in the back making tons of donuts. So we decided to return for a 7 am donut run....... PERFECTION! The donuts were sooooo fresh and sweet and there were soooooo many flavors - the huge apple fritter was moist and our new favorite was the payday with vanilla, caramel icing and peanuts. But I think what really stood out was how long the donuts taste good after you buy them and Spunky Dunkers didn't disappoint. Get them home and in a ziploc bag or Tupperware and they tasted just as good 2 days later This place isn't a secret either and I see why. There were at least 10 people crowded around the cashier counter first thing in the morning for a fresh batch.

I would love to give 5 stars for just the donuts themselves but not for the service…read more I was introduced to the donuts by a coworker who brought them in to work and I fell in love with them so I decided to go out of my way and drive here to get some for my family. As soon as I came in through the door and said HELLO , the woman in front didn't reply or even look my way at all and the whole time I'm picking out donuts, she acted so impatient and unfriendly. Her actions made me feel anxious and angry and I just wanted to be done with the order and leave asap. No matter how good the donuts are, I would never be back after that kind of interaction. It's too bad that they sell such sweet wonderful donuts but have such a sour person as your first person to take care of you.

The first time around, I had a Mango cake mini loaf and the second time, a Pumpkin Marscarpone muffin. Both were super delicious. The muffin was soft with creamy filling and topped with pumpkin seeds. Every bite had a good pumpkin flavor taste. I talked to the owner/ manager, Hailey (I believe her name was), and she said that she and her husband wanted to open this shop to offer the patrons a delicious variety of from-scratch baked goods as there wasn't a bakery like that in the Vernon Hills area. They import ingredients from Italy for some of their baked goods and for others, they source it from reliable quality vendors. All in all, this a good quality bakehouse that's worth a visit (or more). Check them out.

It's their tres leches. You can call ahead and order a full sheet cake, or grab an individual slice like the one pictured here. And let me tell you--the cake is SOAKED in milk, exactly how I like my tres leches! Some places are way too stingy with the milk, but Lupita's Bakery does not hold back. The cake is incredibly moist without becoming soggy. The icing is also super light and airy, almost like whipped cream, which I LOVE.

The churros are delicious when they're freshly made - regular cinnamon sugar, filled with chocolate or vanilla. THIS is why I come here! Some of the pastries are hit or miss, maybe depends on when I'm stopping in? The churros however are always good and keeps me coming back. Plus I can't walk into a Mexican bakery and not leave with a la concha or other goodies.
