We did make reservations ahead of time, faster to just call instead of submitting on their website. We did the standard high tea that comes with unlimited tea. So we had tried four different teas for the first round and two different ones at the end. They have a large selection of teas to choose from. It was nice to read the ingredients on the containers and also smell them. The teas are in bags that the staff would put in the teapot for you. Staff are all very nice and helped pour the tea for the first cup. There are honey and sugar on the table. Milk is brought out by request. The sandwiches, scones, and desserts are all delicious, Each person gets 3 half sandwiches; Cucumber and cream cheese, turkey and cheese on a croissant, and smoked salmon. They were half sandwiches and not 1/4 of a sandwich. Scones are a lot bigger than expected. There were 3 scones; lavender, chocolate chip, and cranberry and walnut. (They have a few different kinds too in their display case by the front). There was whip butter and jam. They went well with all 3 scones. The top tier had the desserts; macaron, brownie, almond cookie, and cream puff. There was plenty of food and they provide take home boxes. If you don't want to do the high tea, then they have other items on their menu like crepes and other assortments of desserts in their front display case. The website also provides what is served for the standard high tea. Also, they have a sign by the cashier that they offer 5% discount if you pay in cash. Plenty of parking on Sunday. There is street parallel parking or parking lots right in front.
Wow. Just WOW. The Bakester has done it again. This year, I went for two pies for Thanksgiving--an apple and a pumpkin--and they were nothing short of PHENOMENAL. Really and truthfully, these were the best apple and pumpkin pies I'VE EVER HAD. Both were absolutely unforgettable, but if I had to pick one the pumpkin pie stole the show. But then again, when it comes to the Bakester, this kind of excellence is to be expected. A Thanksgiving treat that sticks with you long after the leftovers are gone. These pies didn't just complete the meal--they elevated the entire holiday. By the time Thanksgiving was over, I'd already decided I'm ordering from the Bakester for Christmas. It's hard to imagine celebrating the holidays without them.
We decided to check out a cafe that we hadn't been too for some coffee and pastries. The Bakester was a cute looking cafe with good reviews, so we dropped in. Initial impressions was that the place is nice, but empty. The pastry cabinet was half empty and the scone that my wife wanted was mislabeled and unavailable. There were to bins of mugs and dishes laying around, one on a table and one on the counter by the register. It almost seemed they do t show up early before opening to prep the store. The first lady just stared at us, didn't ask if we wanted help, no hello, nothing. We had to initiate the conversation. Then an older lady came but and was very nice and polite. Our orders were quick and we received the food fairly quick. I got a lemon scone, and my wife got a cranberry scone. We shared a latte. The coffee was light, but good. Both scones were moist and very tasty, but we did expect them to be harder being a scone. I would definitely recommend their food and coffee, but their customer service by the one lady was terrible. It almost made us feel like she didn't want to be bothered. They are worth checking out, but if we have a duplicate experience like our first, it will be our last. 4 stars for food, -1 stars for customer service.
Been here twice now for high tea, and it is consistently delicious. The owner and her servers are all sweet and helpful--especially when we have little kids who want to partake in tea but don't need the caffeine. Lots of tea varieties to choose from. The sandwiches are just right--flavorful and filling without being stuffed with ingredients that fall out. They're perfectly constructed and the perfect portion. The sweets/desserts are so good. I don't know how she does it--nothing is overly sweet in any way. The whole place is bright and clean, with soft music so you can have a comfortable conversation. As a family dining in a nicer establishment (with fine china and breakable everything), we worried about our kids being too boisterous or damaging, but the staff were very accommodating by providing paper cups for water instead of glass, and never made us feel unwelcome or hurried. Couldn't recommend this place more! Just be sure to make a reservation if you want to do high tea.
I'm afraid to let this little treasure out of the closet because it's so darn adorable and I'm afraid I won't ever get an open table after this rave review! The Bakester is THE MOST DARLING coffee/tea/pastry shop you may ever find in the northwest burbs! To begin with the shop isn't mega chain size, but big enough so that you can have nice conversations without the people at the next table hearing every work, but it's small enough to give that nice cozy, quaint feeling. The wall is lined with beautiful tea pots and cups, tiered crystal trays begging for pastries to be rested on them, and touches of flowers - but not so overly "feminine" to keep guys away. You place your order at the register and if you choose to dine in, they'll bring your order to you. It'll arrive in a pretty china cup with saucer. If you order something to eat, you'll get it on a real plate with silverware. Tea will be served with a teapot. It's all very elegant. The ladies working there are so patient and kind. The owner always has a bright smile on her face and she's such a delightful person to chat with. Everything is made there fresh in-house and you can smell the warm, baked smell as soon as you walk in. The bakery selection has something for everyone, including a quiche or two and there are also sandwiches made with their flakey, buttery croissants. They also offer High Tea which I can't wait to try!
Checked out yet another offer shop in downtown Arlington Heights, one with a bit classy of an atmosphere. It means prices are kind of high too, but not as much as you may think because the quality is great. The Brewster specializes in French style coffee, paninis, and more. Also has tea if wanting another beverage. You can get one of those fancy tea times with the crumpets and whatever. After looking for a close by coffee shop, we came here. It turned out to be more fancy than we expected, but oh well it had some great stuff. The coffee is the main thing. It's about $4 for a regular cup. The Vegan Panini is more interesting. It's about $9 for a pretty big sandwich filled with everything. There was avocado and tomatoes. Maybe it wasn't a super creative one, but it was a filling one for brunch or lunch. The pastries include classic types of scones. Good place when looking for a French press or other fancy coffee. It also has a breakfast and lunch menu of food. There's a lot that's cheesy and meaty, but the Vegan Panini is a good one for plant based eaters and vegetarians.
An absolutely LOVELY place to sip on a raspberry lemonade while admiring the silver teapots, vintage china, and gorgeous flowers! The owner is sooo sweet and accommodating- seriously one of the nicest ladies you'll ever meet. She throws high tea parties, which are so fun and very affordable compared to the ones in Chicago. For food, I enjoy the turkey & spinach artichoke croissant. So, so tasty! Also love the chocolate chip cookies and the macarons.
Excellent spot! It's such a gem to have a fancy place like this for a tea party so close by. Came here with friends for a mini get together and baby sprinkle. Also had two kids with us who really enjoyed dressing up like a princess and sharing all the yummy goodies. $40 for adult, $30 child for the standard tea party. Premium is $10 more. There are also other menu or bakery items to order as well. Parking can be tough bc its street parking in DT Arlington Heights. Once you walk in you see the pastry displays, then it opens up to a beautiful eating area with fancy table set-ups and beautiful drapes and chandaliers through out the tea area. The quality of the teas are amazing, same with the sandwiches and pastries. Wait staff is pretty attentive and comes to check in and delivers the requested items fairly quick. Would highly recommend reservations, as they get pretty busy on the weekends. Great for ladies get togethers, showers, or small intimate parties. People do come dressed up in their dresses and nice hats :) I would only say its a great spot, except the $30 for young children is a pretty steep price as they don't eat as much as the adults or really drink tea since they are still young. Otherwise great experience. Would def do it again.
What a hidden gem! I've stopped in here a couple of times for a pastry to go, but didn't know until recently that they offer a high tea service. A couple of friends and I made a high tea reservation and had the best time. For $40 per person, we were served three kinds of sandwiches, three large scones, an assortment of desserts, and unlimited tea. We ended up trying several flavors of tea, and loved them all. The service was fast and beyond accommodating -- we were encouraged several times to take our time, and we ended up staying there for a few hours. By the end of our experience, which we scheduled during brunch hours, we were all happy and stuffed. The Bakester also offers a small breakfast and lunch menu, and I'll absolutely be back for breakfast or a panini or lunch.
Had a lovely experience having afternoon tea at The Bakester this past week. Pretty space, friendly service, and delicious food and tea. You select your tea from the containers they have... it's all tea bags. They then bring you a silver pot of tea. You can have a second kind as well. Sandwiches are larger than most tea sandwiches but all were delicious so was happy for the bigger sizes. You also get two large scones (with jam and cream), a macaron and cookie, and generous slice of a European dessert. Definitely worth the visit! I'll be back!
Feels like I step in for afternoon tea. This place has a European vibe with the classy plates and decors. We got a few different choice for teas (unlimited) for the Duchess High Tea options. This included tomatoes soup, spinach and cheddar quiche, cucumber sandwiches, smoke salmon sandwich, turkey on a croissant, scones, pies and French macaroons. The pastries was delicious. The scones was definitely my favorite. It was nice and soft. The cream and berry persevere was delicious and accent the scones flavor perfectly. Our waiter was super nice and refilled our water glasses and tea cups without having us asking. It's definitely a cute place for afternoon tea with some girlfriends.
We found this place by accident, and what a happy accident it was. We were driving around Arlington Heights and I turned into a street because I really liked the look of the old-fashioned buildings and castle-like look of this quaint downtown area. As I was driving, my wife spotted The Bakester. With a sweet tooth the size of an orca, it took no convincing for me to find a parking spot and dash in. As soon as we entered, there was a feeling of being in a fancy patisserie or cafe somewhere in Europe. We didn't really know how it worked or if it was table service only, but the young man at the counter was super friendly. We ordered coffee and dessert at the counter, took a seat at a table, and they brought the goods out. I ordered a cappuccino and my wife got a latte with vanilla. For my son we got a vanilla macaron. My wife and I also got a chocolate-pecan opera cake slice to share. They really knocked it out of the park with the foam on both drinks. And they included a spoon to make it easy to scoop out and enjoy the thick foam. The cake was rich and decadent; it looked like a small slice, but was perfect for us. The macaron was equally excellent; great vanilla flavor and nice texture. Pricing was fair for the quality and overall experience. Would love to come back.
The cutest bakery with lunch food, coffee, tea, and super yummy pastries and cakes! I came to The Bakester for the first time today with my sister. It was such a quaint bakery with a castle-feel to it. I felt like I was eating in France!! It's way bigger than it seems on the outside - there's plenty of seating inside. The young man at the counter who took our orders was so sweet and helpful. The service here was great. I got the blackberry cheesecake and my sister got the vanilla pastry and a chocolate chip cookie. We also both got cappuccinos. Everything was so fresh - the pastry was flaky, the cookie was gooey, and the cheesecake was so fluffy. The desserts here are truly phenomenal. I definitely will return and try more of their food items, I highly recommend The Bakester!!

We had a wonderful high tea experience at the Bakester. We made reservations ahead of time and notified them of our dietary restrictions (vegetarian) which they were able to easily accommodate. The cafe is really cute with lots of floral decorations. There's beautiful tea pots and lots of different teas to pick from. The food was delicious and ample, we couldn't get through all of it and left with a few boxes of treats. I enjoyed the sandwiches, scones and am eager to try some of the leftover dessert. read more
An amazing High Tea and experience in NW Suburbs. We went there on a Sunday for a family Bday. Make sure you make reservations ahead of time as i don't think they do walk ins. We also asked for vegetarian options for the sandwiches which they honored and everything was so good. So good that you cannot try everything out in 1 go. We tried 3 different kind of teas. All were amazing. The decor in the restaurant was so cool. All flowery. There was Bridal shower going on there too. Definitely a place you should go. We tried Cucumber and cream cheese Turkey, havarti cheese, spinich and artichoke spread on croissant Smoked salmon, cream cheese, and dill sauce with spinach Avocado sandwiches Scones Served with Cream and Berry Preserve French Macarons and cookies read more

Quite a cute place for a light Sunday brunch. As soon as you walk inside you are greeted by a pastry and quiche counter and a wall of fine dishes and serving ware. The staff all dress very professional and their service is calm and helpful. (Note: if you would like to leave a tip, let the attendant know before you pay, as they have to add it on to your bill manually) I ordered the spinach quiche, cappuccino, pumpkin pie slice, cherry/apricot/almond pastry, and a sharp cheddar panini. Everything's was reasonably priced and tasted homemade - rather than manufactured, the way many other cafes food tastes. This alone is a major selling point and a reason to try this place out. The ambiance is comfortable. Faux marble table tops, crystal chandeliers and soft lighting. Everything is served on a silver tray and plated very elegantly. Soft French music plays in the background. If the cafe is busy, do not expect speedy service as there seem to only be 1-3 people working. This is really the only minor downside I experienced. I am excited to come back and have another quiche, coffee, and pastry! Wifi password must be requested. But this read more

While ambiance and decor was elegant and stunning, the baked goods left a little to be desired. The macarons in the case were the sloppiest I've ever seen sold. They were intended to be lined up in neat rows, but some were instead toppled over and falling everywhere. Many of them had drastically mismatched in size tops and bottoms, which was not appealing to the eye at all. Having made macarons before, I can understand it's difficult to get perfectly matching cookies, but these looked like practice ones not fit for the show case. The lady tried to give me the smallest misshapen one, but I asked for another. Looks aside, the lavender tasted fresh, and the texture was crisp on the outside and gooey on the inside. I also left with a chocolate nut dessert, but it was overly sweet. Happy to have given them a try! read more

This place is so stinking cute. The ambiance feels like you're walking in to a British/Mediterranean tea party. The lady at the counter was very nice and let us take our time to look at all the delicious pastry and then gave us recommendations on what to try. Everything looked amazing. I got a latte and my friend got a scone. Everything was very fresh and delicious ! Definitely coming back here again! read more

Absolutely adorable, charming bakery, very quaint and comfortable. So much to choose from, a tremendous variety of tempting treats. We tried 2 and each were delicious, a perfect consistency, and clearly made with love. The big beautiful cakes are breathtaking. We did enjoy our espresso (a very big espresso) and our latte. They use a Nespresso machine and the coffee is probably not their focus which is fine because their baked goods are and should be their focus. YUMMY! read more

Selection of French Pastries, my first time there and very enjoyable. My apricot/almond tart was great and very fresh! The service is a little slow but I expect that (just like in France) at A French cafe! Overall the pastries and French style coffee were good and a very quaint spot. Great place to bring a casual date!! Really enhances Downtown Arlington Heights. read more

How easy is it to get seating here? Is it first come first serve? Is this a good place to come to to chat with a friend?
I've been here in the morning and at lunchtime (both on weekdays) and there were several empty tables. The room to the side is quite spacious and ideally suited to conversations
One reviewer mentioned the croissants are "real ... imported from France." Are the croissants frozen from France and then reheated just before consumption?
The owner bakes all pastries and croissants at this location. Bakester is very reminiscent of a traditional French patisserie. The owner is European and such a lovely woman! The baked goods are excellent!
Are there ready made cakes for walk-ins? Do they accept apple/android pay?
All pastries and cakes are available for in-house or takeout. Card cards accepted, except not sure of Apple Pay.
