This bakery has been around forever and is one of my mom's favorites. I ordered a birthday cake for my aunt from here. They ended up spelling her name wrong but fixed it right away. They prices are a little high, but you get what you pay for. read more

Wolf's Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Evergreen Park, Illinois

See all

The lemon fluff cake has been my birthday cake of choice for 26 years now. Everything there is great, I just wish more people in the neighborhood would continue to support this Evergreen Park staple. The mini treats are great for parties as well! read more

After hearing so much about the little cupcakes and lemon cakes that everyone raved about online-- I decided to go to the bakery myself, when I was looking for bakeries for birthday cakes for a relative-- unfortunately there was a huge sanitation problem in the bakery as soon as we entered, there was a weird sour-y smell of dirty-mop-water that permeated the entire bakery and floors, that made me feel sick to my stomach, and I was not the only one in the group to notice-- I thought back to the times that a coworker brought in baked goods from Wolf's wondering if it smelled like this when they bought snacks for our meetings and just thinking about it made it (the nausea) even worse... I went to the display to see if the smell was everywhere or just by the door, and it was allover the bakery- I basically held my breath the entire time-- and the workers acted like they couldn't smell a thing-- when we inquired, they said the floors were just cleaned, so it may smell a little wet-- wet and dirty are two different things-- It smelled like dirty-mop-water and was literally like standing next to an open garbage bin-- nobody ordered anything we all left -very upset. It's not that difficult to change the bucket-water when cleaning and to sanitize with bleach or pinesol... I know a few reviewers complained about a 'bleach-y' smell-- I wish that was the case here, as bleachy or minty are very different from dirty and garbage-y... I know 1 or 2 people who own small restaurants (but-not bakeries) and if the employees used dirty water to clean - or if it smelled like that, for any reason, everyone would be fired for not meeting basic hygiene standards... I don't know anyone who would want to eat food in a smelly environment (or from an unsanitary establishment)-- Maybe they were having a bad day, but it really reeked-- Awful. TwoStars (the food before I actually went myself was quite tasty) but Grade F--minusMinus for (insert sarcasm at) health code violations and clearly contributing to the coronavirus quarantine... read more

Very good bakery, around for many years. I highly recommend. 5/5 stars.

Great ole fashioned bakery. The ladies here have a smile and an overall awesome approach to delivering or providing you with excellent service and tasty treats. I went there for donuts, but need up with the best walnut coffee cake!! Yummy... Thanks Wolf's Bakery You have stood the test of time!! read more

This is what I got: Pumpkin tart: Good Apple Slice: Good Powdered Doughnut : Okay Cupcakes of Lemon Fluff, Red Velvet, Carrot Cake, and Chocolate were Disappointing. Cheescake cup was good. Nothing was dry or gross (doughnut was a bit dry). The cupcakes had a good soft texture, but all of them were flavorless! The Carrot cake cupcake did not taste like carrot cake, the chocolate was not flavorful. The red velvet was average. The lemon fluff was just too light on the lemon flavor for me. Sorry, maybe some things are good and others are okay. But I can make better or the same at home. read more

Great cakes, muffins and creme puffs! I come here occasionally when I am in the area. I recommend the cannoli because it's not over the top sweet, and has just the right amount of pistachios in it. Yum! Great staff too! read more

Yummy! Need i say more ? : ) Love their lemon fluff & atomic cakes. Very special! read more

I was itching for a cupcake this morning so I decided to take a quick trip to Wolf's. The bakery was stocked with donuts, a variety of coffee cakes, mini cheese cups & eclairs, tarts, Irish soda bread, cupcakes, muffins, kolackys the size of my palm, apple slices, cookies, etc. They have something for every sugar nerd like me. I decided to go with a red velvet cupcake, a mini carrot cake cupcake and an apple slice. Now I'm saving the apple slice for later, but the two cupcakes were very yummy and fresh. For a neighborhood bakery, I was satisfied. And did I mention it smelled divine in there! My treats were neatly wrapped in a box and then tied up with bakers string which was hanging from the ceiling. That was pretty cool to me. I even have a lovely, neon orange sticker on my treat box that reminds me to keep my goodies refrigerated. The bakery was clean and the woman at the counter who helped me was very friendly. As for parking, they have about 10 spots on side of the building. Even though my quick trip was a 5 star experience, I'll have to wait and see how they do with a bigger order if I ever get the chance to place one with Wolf's (such as a birthday cake). And by the way, my order was all under $4! read more

Tasty treats! My family has been coming here for years, and I get excited every time I think if stealing a few extra breakfast pastries to take to work. The hands down best month to come here is in March, right before Lent. Why? Kolcky, soda bread, and tri colored Mardi Gras bread. read more

Five stars. We get every birthday cake, communion cake, wedding cake (well, we got one wedding cake) and holiday cake from Wolf's. The cakes look wonderful (it matters to some people) and taste better. The cookies are delicious as well. They are famous for their lemon fluff cakes, and those are outstanding, but I'm all about chocolate cake, and I happen to think that the chocolate cakes are Wolf's best item. I honestly try not to go into the place, because every time I do, I buy some doughnuts or danishes or coffee cake or muffins or cookies. The only deserts I have had that are tastier than Wolf's are those made by my mother (which doesn't really count, since everyone is partial to their Mom's cooking). I wish I had some of my wedding cake left! Wolf's also has really good bread--soda bread, raisin bread, rye bread, regular white bread, and my son's favorite, cinnamon bread. I have also heard good things about their lemon meringue pie. Just be careful--once in a while, the owners go on vacation, so make sure to call a few weeks ahead of when you will be placing your order, just to make sure. * Please note that I am aware that I am using the pronoun "their" in the singular. Please also note my lack of gender bias. read more

I ordered a cake for my daughter's graduation. Whipped cream with yellow dough and fudge filling. Instead I received a lemon cake with lemon filling. Ugh! I do like Wolff's Lemon fluff it's great but when you order a full sheet of cake for a party very few people eat lemon fluff. I took the slice to prove it was not the cake ordered. They did refund my money and told my daughter she could pick out the cake she wanted in the case. They even gave her the wrong cake. I still go to Wolff's for their cookies, cupcakes and lemon fluff but refuse to order anymore cakes. read more

Their Irish Soda Bread is unparalleled to any other kind out there. I get it as often as I can. It's absolutely excellent, light, moist, perfect flavor. But I've learned that's where the Wolf's menu ends... My last trip in I thought it would be neat to try some pastries as I had company coming over. Prices were great. My entire order came to 22.00 (and that included my loaf of soda bread). I got an assortment of about 8 different pastries: lemon fluff cupcakes, cream horn, eclair, mini cheesecake, cream puff, cannoli, and a red velvet cupcake. All of the pastries were so bland. The lemon fluff was okay, nothing out of the ordinary or special. The dough for the cream horn was stale and flavorless with a marshmallow fluff center that was sparse and overly sweet. The eclair didn't have a custard filling but some sort of strange flavorless fluff instead (same with the cream puff) and the mini cheesecakes were that of frozen quality. The cannolis lacked any sort of flavor and were under-filled. I almost purchased a full atomic cake but I'm glad I didn't. It would have probably been a $35.00 let down. I can't say I would purchase baked goods/pastries here again. I'll stick with the soda bread and do my other bakery errands elsewhere. read more

I was in the area and decided to stop by. I'm glad I did. Both the yeast and cake donuts didn't disappoint. My only regret was not getting more. I'll be back next time I'm in the area. read more

First time going to this bakery...OMG I'm so glad I did. Bought the Atomic cake and it was fresh and delicious. Also purchashed the box of assorted cookies and they were also very good. Will definitetly be going back read more

I can remember my father bringing home chocolate-frosted cake donuts on Saturday mornings in the 1980's and distinctly noticing a difference (at 5 yrs old) between these and Dunklin Donuts Wolfs has recently introduced coffee and it appears a half-hearted attempt to please sleepy-eyed customers. This could have been huge. H U G E. But they are brewing flavorless, weak, watery coffee with a minimalistic selection of additions ( no fresh cream, serve yourself, etc). read more

Best atomic cake in the world. I was sad to move away from next door from Webers bakery, I could never find another bakery to compare to it, figured Id give this one a try. Holy smokes, amazing!! read more

This bakery was absolutely phenomenal. I ordered a sheet cake for hubby's retirement. They had the emblem of CFD and a picture of hubby. Not only did it look good but it was simply delicious. read more

I came in last weekend regarding a special cake that i needed to order for my son's baptism. They took my name down and I called them a couple days after since they never called me back and they quoted me a price for the cake I had wanted and informed me to order by Friday with a deposit. I came in to their store early Friday morning and the lady proceeded to take my order and even told me today would be the last day I can place an order for weekend cakes. She spoke to the baker and came back to tell me that they changed the policy and cut off time to order is Thursday now and not Friday. I had three separate occasions with the employees telling me to place the order in on Friday. It's unfortunate an institution as old as this place in the neighborhood, not one single employee knew the correct information but the baker himself. The employees made the mistake and the customer as to pay for the mistake. I came in to discuss my order ample amount of time and spoke to someone and then for them to just tell me, Sorry, we can't help you and looks at the other employee did you know the cut off changed? Now, I am left calling other bakeries to have a cake ready for Sunday for my son's baptism. I came in from a friend's recommendation but what poor customer service. Completely disappointed. I will never come here again. read more

Everyone is always talking about how good this place is so I decided to try it. These cakes are very average. They were very plain nothing very special about them. The one thing that I did enjoy was the lemon fluff. This cake is anything but average. I'm not big on lemon but I tried it and it was very good. The cookies were not as good as I expected them to be. read more

Best Lemon Fluff cake ...i will literally inhale this cake its so damm delicious...light, airy, perfectly sweet and lemony perfection

My wedding cake was absolutely delicious. It was a two-tiered heart-shaped lemon fluff cake. The guests at the wedding loved the cake and asked for seconds! The young lady, Amy, who wrote up my cake order was very patient and understanding when I wanted to change the design. Overall, it was a wonderful experience getting my wedding cake form Wolf's Bakery. read more

Got cookies and Irish soda bread, but everything looks delicious. Went in at about 5:30pm, and they close at 6pm, but it was still crowded. We were tended to immediately even though there were other people there. Both the cookies and soda bread are very good. Next time I'll get cupcakes, they have a large variety of full size and mini cupcakes. read more

I was looking for a lemon cake for a coworker. I searched Yelp and saw this bakery which is conveniently located in my neighborhood. I told the young lady that it was my first time visiting the bakery and that I heard I should get the lemon fluff. She gave me a free mini lemon cupcake which was so light, fluffy and the lemon was not overbearing. I hope my coworker likes it and I'm sure I'll be back for more delicious delectables! read more

Let me start by saying, I avoid all things lemon. I had the opportunity to try it out (unknowing that it was lemon cake) at a work party, and holy cow....IT IS DELICIOUS! I have sampled a few of their cupcakes and they are all soft, moist, and yummy! Their pricing also beats all of the boutique cupcake shops in the city that are usually overrated considering their taste. Give the lemon fluff a try, you won't regret it!!! read more

An absolute classic! The lemon fluff is unlike any other cake I have ever had! In my family, you know the occasion was special if lemon fluff cake was served. Order it precut to save yourself some time. read more

When I went there in early afternoon, there were still many confections and cookies all stocked up, looking pretty in the cases and looking fresh and delicious. Still some coffee cakes and other cakes on display, and full size and mini cannoli too. Many bakeries around me are geared for morning donuts and such and there's little left in the place after morning. Wolf's appears to keep their shelves replenished with fresh goods as the day goes along. Very nicely done, clean and welcoming, with friendly service. Three employee's were there to take and box customer's orders. Creme puffs, mini cupcakes, brownies, and some I don't know what they were but looked really good. My orders were put in separate boxes, tied in strings, with a shiny labels put on the box, perfect presentation for bringing to your elderly aunt for desert after lunch (which is exactly what I did). Everything was very tasty. I really like Wolf's too bad I don't live closer. read more

Every year for St. Patty's Day, my South Side Irish family goes to this bakery to buy more soda bread than anyone should healthily consume. This is right before they stop by the Jewels for pounds of butter to go with it (Pluralized supermarket to keep in line with the south side colloquialism of making everything plural). It's my favorite soda bread, because it is not completely ridden with raisins and it's soft and crumbly - not dry at all. The other offerings are nice as well, but we definitely go out of our way for one thing and one thing only. Because we're on a mission from Gad. read more

Wolf's Bakery is the best bakery around in my opinion. The cakes, and donuts and coffee cakes are superb!! I've ordered every birthday, Christening, Shower, holiday dessert from Wolf's and will continue to do so. Thank's WOLF'S BAKERY!! read more

Atomic cake exceeded my expectations. Service was friendly and efficient. I'll be back!

I frequent Wolf's for birthday cakes and, sometimes, for pastries and cookies. Everything is absolutely delicious and people always rave about the cake and ask where I bought it from. However, I write today to acknowledge their customer service. Every time I go to Wolf's I feel like I am transported back in time to a day where people were super friendly and customer service was king. This past weekend I forgot to pick up my cake, then missed their call to me to alert me. One I realized it, I called frantically and went there and knocked. After I left, the manager called and said if I could get there quickly, she'd wait for me. This kind of stuff just doesn't happen anymore. Most people don't care enough to be so kind as to think about the impact that this small gesture will make on someone's day and special event. Thanks Wolf's for this and for all the delicious treats!!! read more

Love their Lemon and Red Velvet cupcakes!!! It's a little out of my way to go there but it is so worth it.

Cheap tasty pastries ! I got a bag of goodies for like $4! What else do you need to know? Oh and I heard the atomic cake is to die for! It definitely looks the part! read more

I ordered one of their famous lemon fluff cakes for my husband's birthday party. I was a little disappointed. The cake was moist and had a nice lemon flavor, but it was nothing spectacular. I kept thinking it needed more oomph! This would be appropriate at a bridal or baby shower in the spring or summer as it's very light and delicate. All in all, a good cake, just don't expect something out of this world...as its reputation would have it. read more

I have been going to this bakery for years. Very good and a nice variety of cookies and treats

One of my Hometown fav places....I brought my girls here for the "LEMON FLUFF". It was delicious!

Their lemon fluff is the best! We have had it whether as cake or cupcakes for every special occasion for last 30 years!

OMG, the Lemon Fluff cake is fabulous. I can't properly describe it; this cake must be experienced. I've never had anything quite like it anywhere else. read more

Awesome mini coolies, white bread, and Lemon fluff cake

I was excited to try this bakery being we live a few blocks away, but agree with other customers the pastries are pretty bland, nothing spectacular. I am a fan of the lemon fluff cake (not the cupcakes) but haven't found the variety of items (cannoli, cupcakes, doughnuts, hot crosses, Italian cookies...) we have tried over various weekends... we gave them a second and third chance and sadly not very pleasing. Service can be 50/50 sometimes the girls are too busy talking amounts themselves to check if other numbers are up and other times the service is excellent. read more
