OMG, where have they been all my life? Driven past it many times but never stopped in until some folks on FB told me it's a nice place to get sliced bakery bread when my erstwhile favorite bakery was on vacation. They were right: excellent bread, but sooo much more! The cinnamon doughnuts are on another level, as are the coffee cakes etc, etc. Prices are right, too! The place is kinda small, so it can get crowded especially on weekends. read more

Get the choc donuts, the best! They are to die for. I don't even like donuts but I love these you will not be disappointed!! read more

Allegretti's Bakery - Choc donuts to die for - Bakeries Near Me - Norridge, Illinois

Came here on Saturday afternoon. This was our first time here, so we asked alot of questions. I guess you're not allowed to do that because we were hurried. Not the nicest young lady helping us. The young lady was basically dismissive and rude. We observed the other workers, and they were very friendly. We would have bought more items, but we didn't feel welcomed. Overall, good desserts, but this young lady should work on her people skills. read more

Great place for those Italian cookies. They have a great variety of cookies and other deserts.

I've been going to Allegretti's for over 35 years. It's the only bakery that I get my Zeppole from during Lent. They have a great pizza bread and the best chocolate donuts in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a small bakery so plan on long lines especially when they have their Zeppole.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I get there before they open and there have been times that I've had to wait outside in line during the cold weather but it's worth it for me. read more

We ordered the large mini pastry tray, which came with 40 pastries for $59.99. All of the pastries on the tray were really good. I was pleasantly surprised since you don't typically get that with these assorted trays. We will definitely order it again for the next event. read more

The doughnuts are stellar. The cookies are hard now as opposed to soft. The icing is hard and they claim they are attempting more crisp designs because people complained that their cookies' design are "sloppy." So their new icing is supposed to help them make the design more precise at the cost of having bricks for cookies! Don't buy their cookies unless you only care about the design and you like harder cookies as opposed to soft. read more

I ordered a chocolate cake and cake pops about a week before pick up. If you want a chocolate cake I do not recommend this bakery. The chocolate cake was very light and did not even taste like chocolate. It did not taste good and my birthday boy only took 1 bite of it. I called to see if I can talk to someone to let them know how disappointed I was in the cake. The person on the phone told me because the cake was eaten they could not do anything plus that is the type of chocalate cake they are using. It's a light chocolate devils cake. Nobody mentioned that when I ordered. I also told the person on the phone that barely anyone ate the cake but we did have to pass it out because it was a kids party. I would have been better off getting a chocolate sheet cake from jewel for way cheaper and it would of actually taste like chocolate. To top it off the cake pops were not ready during pick up and my husband had to wait about 20 minutes for the whole order. I got half chocolate and half vanilla cake pops and i asked them to put a different color riibbon so we can know which one is chocolate or vanilla. That didn't happen. Overall a very disappointing experience. Chocolate lovers beware. read more

The folks at Allegretti's are wonderful! I recently ordered a cake for my wife's 40th birthday. I wanted something special and they certainly delivered. I spoke with their decorator and showed pictures of what I had in mind. She was very nice and I felt very comfortable leaving the creativity up to her. Not only did the cake turn out beautiful, it also tasted soooooo good!!! I could not have been happier. Also their Chocolate Cake Donuts are the best thing ever! read more

One of the best bakeries in Chicago. Everything is excellent ! Just had a bundt shaped pound cake, covered in chocolate. It was fantastic.. I always stop in and get a chocolate cake donut and a genovese, always delicious! read more

Selection was great and everything we got was delicious! Very friendly and can't beat their prices!

Two stars for the delicious pastries, especially cookies. However, the three missing stars are for the low-grade customer service and for the exorbitant price increases (at least by $5/per pound of cookies, totaling at least $18/pound of cookies now!). If any business thinks they can get away with increasing prices with low quality customer service, they will be encouraging consumers to reconsider. After a few negative experiences and bringing it to management's attention without any efforts to remediate, my mother and I have decided to take our business elsewhere. This was especially after witnessing how they treated another kind customer who was excited to eat their pound cake but was told by a rude woman who worked in the back that the pound cake will not be ready until 11 and there was nothing we could do. Nothing was offered to compensate this customer for their time and/or patience. The cookies were delicious and we loved to enjoy them at least two Sundays a month but they're not worth the bad attitude and poor customer service. I bid there farewell, Allegretti's Bakery. You've been good to us and for that, we thank you. P.S, There are two bakeries not far and one of them is on Cumberland Ave. Please do not forget, there is always competition and in America, we all have choices. Hard stop. read more

Cash only. Amazing bakery. Absolutely love their chocolate donuts ! Fair pricing. I wish they accepted card payments though.

This is our best local bakery. The weekend lines should not scare you away. They move fast and the donuts are always super soft and delicious. I have not ordered a cake yet but the ones I've seen go out look amazing. There's a reason all the locals know that this is the spot to go to for a sweet treat. Pro tip: call in your order to have it ready to go. Respectfully, you should still wait in line, but you'll be in and out quickly! read more

The chocolate cake donuts, the lemon knots and the cannoli are our fav. Red velvet cake was best we have had

Beautiful and delicious cakes which is why they are getting 2 stars. Customer service is horrible!!!! I will start off by saying that my family and I have been customers of Allegretti's for over 10 years now. After the customers service from this past weekend and today I'm sad to no longer be one of their customers. We ordered a two tier beetle juice themed cake for my daughter's 2nd birthday. Everything was done via email. Initially in the email I requested one yellow tier with strawberry filling and the chocolate tier with strawberry filling. She replied asking if I wanted custard or whipped cream and I said whipped cream. After that When I asked Bailey if a deposit was needed I never heard from them again (which shame on me for not following up). Per the emails no time was established for pick up. I called on Saturday morning and they couldn't fond my cake then found it and said it had been ready since 9am. I said my sister will pick up around 4. They called me around 1 if we were still coming I said yes again sister will be there around 4. We get the cake came out beautiful but went to cut it and it was missing the strawberry filling. I take a picture and call and Denna was rude saying that the picture could have been from anywhere that there was nothing she could do unless I brought the cake back which I had mentioned was 2 tier. I said I had to feed it to my guest there was none left. So I was upset and said I was going to leave a review and hung up. She calls me back stating that she was going to go above and beyond and give me more back for the cake if I would have brought ot back but since I couldn't with the email of the picture she will credit me the difference. Today Bailey calls me stating that I wasn't clear about wanting strawberry filling. I said yes look at the email it states that I wanted it she then asked if custards or whip cream and that was that. She put me on hold with out saying anything so i thought she hung up and I called back and said she never hung up that she put me on hold. Then proceeded to say Deena said there was no price difference in the cakes with filling which is a lie because when you go into their bakery on the left side of the counter shows price differences for adding fruit fillings. Sad they lost a life long customer over taking accountability for their mistake and not making it right. Do not buy if you want poor customer service read more

Very sad that I've have problems with pizza breads the last 3 times I've ordered. 1st time they put order for the wrong day, 2nd time they said they "ran short" even though I made an order ahead. FINALLY today... ordered two pizza breads for pickup. I get home- The entire thing is burnt. We tried both of them took it back and the owner said "ITS NOT BURNT." Rude. Unacceptable coming from an owner to tell a customer after they brought it back and tried both of them. I don't enjoy burnt cold pizza. Sorry. Picture attached. read more

Thank you for making a special coconut cake donut for me this morning.My wife smiled at me!

I had bought a variety of donuts from this place when I was here in December. It seems like your run of the mill casual bakery and the staff were nice! They had a decent selection of donuts and the donuts tasted alright. The main offputting factor in these donuts is that, despite them tasting ok, all the donuts I tested weren't fully cooked. When you opened up one, they were still slightly doughy in the middle. This made me not try another donut from this place and didn't really share them to my friends. I hope the company looks at his message and adds a little more cooking time to their donuts, because they tasted great! I just want my donuts cooked all the way. read more
