    Disappointed. Usuallly extremely happy with my custom cookies from this bakery. I ordered specific colors for my sons themed birthday. Not sure this looks like 1/2 lime green sprinkled and 1/2 white and red sprinkles. I got red, white and blue cookies. Called to inform my order was wrong. No solution was provided. They said they would send me pictures to prove they were "correct" but never did and never called back. Such a bummer.

    Our initial visit was back in 2020 and the cupcake that we had didn't leave a very strong impression. However, fast forward to 2023, we revisited and both times we were content with our selections. We tried the cannolis, eclair, vanilla glazed yeast donut, chocolate glazed yeast donut, cruller, and zepoles. I am a huge sucker for yeast donuts and I could easily down one anytime and whenever. So that is a no-brainer for me. The other two items that we particularly enjoyed are the eclair and zepole. The custard was smooth and finger-licking good! We ordered over $50 worth of pastries over the span of two weeks. With this bakery being so close to home, it's going to be detrimental my healthy diet plans. Not sure if I can successfully fight my temptations...but I am really looking forward to trying their paczkis when they are back in season.

    What an amazing Birthday Cake! Sylvia's really did an amazing job! This place is such a hidden gem!

    Best bakery in the Chicago suburbs. Everything I've gone it's been super fresh. A very wide selection, of highly skilled baked goods.

    Stopped by once to try out their doughnuts. Pretty basic looking mom and pop bakery. Their yeast doughnuts are big and fluffy. Their chocolate glazed is very light and not too rich, I prefer darker chocolate. I thought the cake doughnut was ok. And their danish is super sweet and overfilled, if that's your thing. The women helping me also through in a few extras which was an unexpected and appreciated surprise. I would definitely choose their doughnuts over DD, but they aren't the best I've had.

    Paczki

    Quality bakery for bread, cakes and in season, now, paczki. Service with a smile, and a joke or two. (They are becoming my go to for paczki:)

    See all

    One of the last great bakeries still in existence. There isn't a better doughnut or sweet roll made anywhere else.

    The best donuts, cakes, and euro-cookies in the Downers area. Priced very reasonably and are as close to homemade as you can get.

Lattes are on point and the coffee is delicious! Quaint inside but plenty of tables for a morning sit. They also offer a to go window for those strolling around downtown or on their way to the train. I'm here almost every other week GIVE THEM A TRY!

I had one of the best experience. From the adorable location of the Bakery, to the wonderful service and lets not forget the super delicious food! Inside of the place consist of about 4 tables and some high tops. It's in a cute little house with a rustic feel of wood that I love. A IG worthy name wall and super clean! Which is very important to me. The gentleman behind the counter was soooo nice, friendly, knowledgeable and I wonder if he's the owner but I am all about supporting local small businesses. I would come back for the service alone! I don't eat meat so I ordered the Portobello, red pepper and havarti cheese sandwich. My bestie ordered the ham and cheese and both was amazing!!! Mine wasn't overly salty, cheese was gooey, mushrooms and peppers was deliciously seasoned and best of all, the sandwich was crispy to the bite! Free parking right outside of the restaurant and free water for your convenience. I already have a coffee but we both took some pulled pork, chicken and spinach empanadas to go and everything was amazing! 10/10 on everything! Can't wait to bring my family to try the sweets and other stuff like acai bowl, cookies, cake jar and much much more!!! Please stop in and try it for yourself! You will fall in love! I know I did! Thank you Bacuri Bakery! I will be back!
