When we walked in, the bakery was completely empty, yet staff helped customers who came in after us while we stood at the register waiting for several minutes before finally speaking up. Once we mentioned we were there for AmazeCo, the employee helping us initially tried to hand us someone else's order even after we gave our name. After finally locating our box, we discovered it only contained croissants with bacon and ham. We explained that one person in our group cannot eat pork and asked if there was any possibility of exchanging an item, especially since every other stop on the AmazeCo experience was accommodating of dietary restrictions. The response we received was simply, "That sucks," with no attempt to help or offer an alternative. The lack of customer service and professionalism really left a bad impression, especially considering the positive experiences we had everywhere else that day.

The Ube latte was almost 7 dollars and it was literally all milk with zero Ube flavor at all, it was the most disappointing Ube latte we've ever had. The iced ginger looked like the Korean ginger tea jars they sell at H-Mart, nothing fancy. The name of the bakery sounds fancy because it's in French and there are locations all over Illinois. They sell French and Korean infused pastries and cakes that are a bit pricier than most. I think they should at least have nice boxes to put the pastries in rather than wrapping it up in plastic and stuffing it in a plastic bag. There weren't many options and service was eh.

Two weeks before the event, I came in person with a printed cake design, a clear color theme (green, cream, and white), and a macaron accent order to go with it. I was flexible on the design details, just committed to the vision. On the day of pickup, I arrived a little late -- my fault -- but there was no cake waiting, and my order couldn't be found. Hannah behind the counter did her best, and when owner Robert walked in, I calmly explained everything from the start. I won't lie -- I was heartbroken more than angry. This was a big night. What happened next is why I'm writing this review. Robert and his team didn't hesitate. They snapped a photo of the design from my phone, asked every detail, and promised to make it right -- with Robert personally delivering the cake to the venue (thankfully just 5 minutes away). And he did. He showed up with the cake designer in tow and delivered something truly stunning: a handsome, elegant cake that fit the theme perfectly and genuinely wowed my brother and guests. And the flavor? Their Atomic. Banana (pudding), strawberries (jam), and chocolate, vanilla & banana cake. YUM! It was incredibly moist and delicious. What could have been a devastating hiccup for such a milestone night became one of the most memorable parts of the celebration. That's a testament to Robert and his team's character, dedication, and craft. Thank you, Area 51 Cupcakery. We've loved your cupcakes from day one, and this experience only deepened our loyalty.

We stopped at Insomnia Cookies for dessert after having lunch next door at Fat Rosie's. Overall,…read morethe cookies were really good, and we definitely prefer them to Crumbl. We grabbed a deluxe four-pack with the S'mores, Salted Caramel, and two Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup cookies. They were served warm, soft, and gooey, and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup was easily my favorite; rich, chocolatey, and loaded with peanut butter! The store was clean and bright, but service was surprisingly slow considering we were the only people there at the time. Two of our four cookies were also broken while being put into the box. I want to give them a slight pass since the cookies are served warm and are pretty delicate, but it was still a bit annoying, especially considering the four-pack cost $21.56. And that's really my biggest gripe; more than $5 per cookie is honestly outrageous and EXTREMELY hard to justify, even for a specialty dessert shop IMO. That said, we still really enjoyed them and think they're much better than Crumbl. I'd absolutely eat them again; I just wouldn't make a habit of it at that price.

The parking lot is a bit chaotic but they do have a few 15 min parking spots right out front to help with that since folks are usually coming and going. We walked in and took a few minutes took look through the menu, when we went to order we were told 2 of the 3 flavors were out and we would need to wait 15 minutes for it. We decided to wait since that way it would be extra fresh and yummy. There was only one person and he really wasn't thrilled to be there and you can tell in the tone of his voice not only to us but to everyone working. It got pretty busy after dinner so I get it but it was a bit off putting just listening. After about 20 minutes or so we got our cookies and it was delish! I almost wish we got more because the cookies didn't even make it home! Overall, a delicious experience!

Staff were all really nice and on top of everything. This is more of a grab and go location but you can definitely sit down and enjoy your drink or a meal at the shared food court seating if it's not too busy. The latte was a little too on the sweet side for me but the flavor was good. I would say the croissant was the highlight of this visit though. Perfectly crispy and flaky with a good amount of filling too.

Walking into the Encore Liquid Lounge (which sells a good its a$$ can't cash, but that's another thing), I was hypnotized by these strange blue cupcakes. Anyone who reads my reviews knows I can't resist anything colored blue, purple or red, so I had to know what was up. Imagine my surprise when I discovered by blue hypnosis was due to Hpnotiq cupcakes! You read that correctly: BLUE cupcakes made with and tasted like Hpnotiq. And, yes, you could get a buzz. Well, you know I had to have one. Or, 8. Tracey, the owner, is rightfully proud of her product and after we got to talking how I was going to be her new best friend/stalker, she made sure I left with a small box of the baked goods. Lest you think, however, that I am not klassy and only fall head over heels for blue treats, I'll have you know that I gorged on: cognac, amaretto, apple martini (GREEN with apple bits on the inside!), and strawberry margarita (keep me near the cross; these made me go on a mama-slapping rampage that was only quieted by passing out from the sheer rip-your-clothes-off goodness at eating a strawberry cake, topped with berry/tequila frosting and filled with boozy berries treat). Don't sit in judgement of me: you would have done the same thing.. and I might have been drunk from cupcakes (first time for everything!). These truly are guilty pleasures but don't wait too long to deny yourself. What's life without some indulgence? *Well, not *all* of them. Ohh yeahhh!!!
