The best cookies!
Joani O.

My favorite bakery in Evanston! I grew up with fond memories of cakes my mom ordered from here for all of our special occasions and events. And their cookies! I highly recommend the ever popular Florentines. But all of the butter cookies, which are sold by the pound, are good. They have a good variety of other baked goods as well. When I want to treat my team at work with a sweet treat, Tag's it is!

Came here for the Florentine Biscuit/Cookie and it was delectable! Each cookie is about the size of an Oreo. They charge by weight, but each cost about $0.61 with tax. Florentine cookies are toasted almonds covered in caramel with a small dried cherry covered with hard caramel with one side smeared in milk chocolate. They do them well here! Service was prompt and courteous. I have not tried anything else here, but the rest of the sweets look promising!

Cookies were from Tags.

I ordered a Graduation cake and it was beautiful, super moist, very fresh, delicious, and impressive looking. The only issue I had was the cake was enormous. Having leftover cake was a good problem to have Ordering was a breeze, the price was fair. I'm ordering more tomorrow for our 2nd Graduation and another for a weekend party event! Thanks Tags!

Had a few minutes and some hunger pangs to kill before hopping on the commuter rail from Evanston into downtown. Yelp flagged this as a top spot and the previous reviews' pictures enticed me to check it out. My only regret was that I was on the go and couldn't stock up on more. Tag's is row after row of refrigerated cases and shelves with treats to keep you full from breakfast to birthday cake. Lots of seasonal Halloween goodies like frosted sugar cookies shaped like pumpkins, ghosts, black cats and haunted houses, plus tea cookies, donuts, and oh-so-many assorted pastries. Plus pies, cupcakes and petit fours. I narrowed my indulgences down to two: a chocolate frosted cake donut, and an almond croissant. Both were fresh and delicious. Not much else to say other than they tasted as good as they looked. Super friendly and efficient staff--will definitely be back next time I'm in Evanston to try some more treats!

Love this place! Teeny-tiny spot near the Glenview Metra train station, across from the library…read more Excellent doughnuts with fun flavors for the adventurous and great traditional choices, too. Cute mini cake doughnut "cups" on top of the drink cooler - perfect for a little nibble (or for kids). The coffee is full-bodied, rich brew and can take on any of the pastries you want to dunk in - and it's hot-hot-hot. Family favorites are the Joe 1/2 Dozen with a mix of salted caramel toffee almond old-fashioned and coconut cake with show-offs: red velvet, maple bacon, or (blueberry) fritter. The kids insist on the Snickers old-fashioned, Oreo, and cereal-garnished (fruity pebbles). Oh, yes, get some glazed, if you can (you have to go early to get these - they usually sell out). I always get a side-car (aka The Commuter) and give the donut away to share the goodness. If there's a line, be patient. You won't wait too long, as Diana gets people through efficiently and with a smile.

Update: I typed the original review while on my cellphone. There were typos that I did not catch…read more When it comes to donuts in the suburbs, Dunkin Donut is it. After looking for a donut shop other than Dunkin Donuts, Joe Donut popped up in my Google search. I ordered a chocolate glazed red velvet, which was surprisingly good. I also ordered an Oreo crumbled glazed donut. Because it was large and there was glaze and Oreo crumble, I ate it in two settings. I don't know if the Glenview location is a bakery or a bake shop, possibly getting donuts in daily from a bakery location. The donuts were fresh but there seemingly was a limited supply when I went. And I went around 8:45 AM. It may have been that the commuter crowd had bought most of what was available. The location is at a train stop. Nevertheless, if I'm near Glenview and have a taste for donuts, I'II stop by Joe Donut again.

Panaderia Evita is a true hidden gem in the neighborhood!…read more Panaderia Evita is the type of bakery that if you walked too fast you would miss it. I came across Panaderia Evita during a random walk through Rodgers Park and I'm so happy I stop in that day. The staff is friendly and always speaks when I visit. The inside is spacious and clean not much investment into the decor but the food makes up for it. There are a ton of bakeries along the same block but the pastries from Panaderia Evita stand out from the rest. The homemade donuts are unbelievable! Pastries from the sugar donuts to the Conchas are so sweet and fluffy. I have yet to have a bad pastry from Panaderia Evita! I highly recommend trying the donuts because they're so fluffy and test so fresh. I haven't had a fresh donut like the ones at Panaderia Evita even at places dedicated to donuts.

We were walking down the street while waiting for our table at Honey Bear Cafe since we had an hour…read morewait, and we noticed two panaderías, so we decided to check them out. I didn't look at the reviews beforehand and honestly just went in based on how the bread looked. To be honest, the conchas didn't really catch my eye. They looked a little different from what we're used to eating and less concha paste and burnt so I decided not to buy any. Instead we got two orejas and two campechanas and they were VERY delicious. The lady working the register was also very nice and welcoming which made the experience even better. Sometimes it's fun to stop at places you come across while walking around, and I'm glad we gave this place a try. The orejas and campechanas were definitely worth it and the friendly service was a plus. I'd come back to try some other pastries.
